Yes, maybe I add Litecoin when I have time. We'll see.

Hi is possible to have more accounts/logins on your pool? Or standart login/password authentication? I take care of same mining rigs for individual clients and i need to separate theirs accounts and manage them from my computer + they want to be able to login on their account. I can do around 30GHs together.

Contact me using the "contact" form on the website and let's see if we can think of something.

litecoin would be nice for those GPU miners that love your pool and can't keep up in the ASIC arms race.

I sure would like to be able to reply on the Bitminter thread. But I really do not have any more noob posts to contribute here so that I may be promoted. Any ideas?

[Troupster]

Any idea when the hashrate will be fixed, it's making me overly excited for no reason

I have no block erupter to test on. I made an experimental version, tried to program (blindly) a fix. Maybe you can give it a try: http://bitminter.com/alpha/alpha.jnlp

I would also love to be able to mine litecoin with a pool for you. Being my computer will not run any other miners except yours.

^^^^ maybe check out wemineltc  + guiminer.

I run bitminter 24/7 on my machines.

wow 16 blocks in 1 day!!! keep this GOING!!!!

I have been mining with bitminter for a few months now, and this is the luckiest day I can remember!

Ps: +1 for Litecoin

I'm using bitminter pool for some time now, i'm very happy with it. I'm on the edge of switching to litecoin. The difficulty on BTC is getting to high, for my gpu mining rig. I was experimenting with litecoin for some days and exchanging them into BTC gave be a better profit then mining BTCc alone. But If I mine for LTC that would mean I have to leave the BitMinter pool. I don't want that.
Now here is the thing:
DrHaribo: Could you get support for LTC. That way I don't have to leave you. You don't have to build a client for it instantly. There are already LTC clients. Just setup a server alongside. I think this is the way to hold users on board, and keep this fantastic pool a life and growing. With the difficulty rising to the roof and other alternatives (LTC) its better to have an alternative aside. instead of seeing many gpu user jump over to the LTC pools and loose them forever! I think the main PRO of bitminter.com is  the friendliness of the users and operator(s). We could have that with LTC to.

I am posting here because I am not yet able to post on the Bitminter Thread. With all of the DDoS, the discussion seems to suggest a specific vulnerability for the Bitminter java client. Is there a better chance of staying active using another piece of software with the Bitminter pool? Or would you say the client is the better choice? If not what would your recommendation be for using an alternative mining program to use with the Bitminter pool? Thx

I'm guessing that a lot of kids are playing with CIOH.

Hi, what about proxy_miner and asic? Doesn't work :/ (fpga-ok).

Hey Doc! What gives? I've been hashing at ~ 10 gig and hardly made a dime today. I've even run out of work and sat idle several times. Are you under attack? Upgrading the servers? Etc? I gotta earn...

There has been a large DDoS attack on Bitminter going on since 6-16-13.  Started a few hours before the difficulty change and has continued into today.  Mining has been sporadic because of this. 

[Perseus353]

I understand that Bitminter is under DDOS attack -- I hope you get out of it soon doc.

I've had this happen several times that the counter goes completely haywire, without adding anything to the pool. Even the last version 1.4 does this. Am I right to assume that this is related to the attack?

This is a bug with OpenCL on Mac. Suddenly it starts "finishing" all work instantly and never gets any results.

Reboot the Mac and it will work again.

Hey Doc,
Sorry to hear about your troubles.
Is there anything we miners can do to help prevent future attacks???
Cheers, Aurum

Cheers. That did it.
