I would like to say thank you to our beta testers for their hashes. We are at 7GH/s and growing, and we broke half a million shares recently. The server isn't even breaking a sweat right now. Working on adding SSL support (self-signed for now), adding features to the front-end, and making the front-end easier to understand, look better, flow, etc.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Experiencing an outage right now. Looks like our datacenter might be down internally, as I can't even connect to our backup "KVM" (DRAC) server. I will post updates here.

And we are back online! Looks like a network switch in the DC failed. This is the only trace I see in my log files: Jun 28 23:30:43 kernel: [939669.279941] bnx2 0000:02:00.0: eth0: NIC Copper Link is Down
Jun 29 01:02:50 kernel: [945180.320682] bnx2 0000:02:00.0: eth0: NIC Copper Link is Up, 1000 Mbps full duplex
Haven't had announcement from our DC yet, but I might expect another outage or 2 if they are swapping equipment. |

Amazing I get far less stales with your pool than most....2 or 3 per hour vs 10-15

Yeah the stales are pretty low. Long-polling works really well in our setup. Also, I think since the pool is still small that's part of why you see less stales.

Is your favorite pool down due to DDoS? We aren't! Support decentralization of mining power and give us a try today.
WIN $20!
We are currently at over 1.1 Million shares this round and as a result I am now going to offer $20 (in BTC) to the miner who finds our first block. That's right! Once that block hits and gets confirmed, I will do a quick query on the db and find out who was the winner. I will then contact you privately and send you $20.00 worth of bitcoins.
Why am I putting up a prize in USD instead of BTC? Take a look at the market...the value is dropping recently and I want to make sure you get a fair prize.
Minor update: JSON worker stats are 99% working right now (previously 0% working hehe). This might open up some creative doors for those of you who like to utilize JSON outputs.

BLOCK PARTY!We found a block....on July 1st. Reminder, this is a beta test. I did not develop the front-end and I have been spending close to 6 hours a day diagnosing and fixing it for you guys. I apologize for any bugs we find along the way. No shares were lost, everything was humming along just fine. It's just that the accounting portion of the front-end that runs every 8 minutes did not detect that we had found a block - *doh*. Once I corrected the problem it calculated all the shares and payouts based on 800,000+ shares that went into the first block. Your balances are all updated based on the normal proportional method described earlier in the thread. At this time automatic payouts are broken (another bug acknowledged by developer). Manual Instant Payout works like a charm, though! I announced the bonus after we found the block, but I am going to be nice and award it anyway. If the winner wants to be named I can post his info here. Stay tuned for another bonus reward for finding the second block! My business partner is in the hospital with a very serious infection and is planning on offering the second block award. I will wait for him to announce it here. Edit (7/6/11 9:40PM PST): We have added SSL support to the site. This is a *real* cert signed by a real CA - RapidSSL, not self-signed like some other bitcoin sites. The cert supports 256-bit encryption and TLS 1.0. You can access the site through both https://bitcoinmonkey.com and https://www.bitcoinmonkey.com . We haven't decided if we are going to force redirection of non-SSL links to the SSL version, yet. Thoughts on that anyone?

Just added a CRAZY PYRAMID BOUNTY!
Block 1 - 4 BTC
Block 2 - 3 BTC
Block 3 - 2 BTC
Block 4 - 1 BTC
And if enough people sign up and we can find our fourth block by Friday of next week I will extend the 1 BTC bonus for FIVE MORE BLOCKS!!
THAT'S 15 BTC in BONUSES!
If you don't sign up with us, our monkey will throw poop at your miners.

I guess people don't like bonuses? Barely hitting 10gh/s even with a bounty!
No one likes free BTC or what?

Phorensic and Bitcoinaddict. I think what mining farm is lacking is transparency. Which makes people nervous in my opinion. People want to see how many shares they went through. How long, it took, etc etc. That being said, everyone join up were at almost 900k shares this round which means we are more than half way there.

d3c0n808, I hear you. Mining Farm #2 did not come with stats where it shows how many shares were in each round and how many you submitted, stales, etc. This is all tracked in the database, but not shown in the front-end. I am working on adding these features.
Found Another Block
We just found our second block! Just a few more confirms and we get paid! Woohoo!
Fixing unconfirmed balance display...grrrrr. Edit: Fixed now.

Yeah, the website is pretty useless without any stats. If you've got the info in a database then what's the problem dispalying it? It's a 5 minute job to throw a simple table up so if it's not sorted by the end of the day I'll probably bail out due to lack of confidence in the site.

Added block history with shares and stales stats to Block Statistics and Manage Workers pages. Examples below:   I told you I was working on adding features! lol |

That's much better. Now at least we can see that something is happening. Cheers.
Could you change the balances from USD? I don't care what they're worth in USD as I'm from the UK. Also, listing the balances in USD just means that those values are inaccurate.
Keep the "Bitcoin value", in fact add GBP and EUR in as well, but those balances need to be in BTC.
