I am gonna throw 20 singles at ur pool soon..

Awesome

i want different people to have acess to my account..so how can i have an "normal" login?

OInly openID are avaliable..i dont want the hassel making fake accounts for that .

Only OpenID logins available for now. You could create an OpenID account somewhere and give them that password. But do you really want a whole bunch of people to have access to your account? Do you want all of them to have full access, including the ability to transfer all coins in the account to their wallet?

Is the site down or is it just me?

I just restarted the web app - I don't think it was down many seconds?

I try not to restart often, I know it's annoying to have to log in again. But I needed to clear out old database connections to do some cleanup in the database. Such a relief to see transactions that took several seconds become instant.

Extortionists are DDoSing the server and demanding protection money or they won't stop. More details in the main thread:

My blocks are still being merged, once they are done I just run it with my wallet info correct?

You mean your wallet program is still downloading blocks?

You can send coins to the wallet before it finishes downloading all the blocks. You just can't see those coins in your wallet balance before it downloads the block that contains the transaction sending you coins.

Dr. Haribo i want to ask you something.
Did your client (bitminter) will work with this hardware-http://www.btcfpga.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=50
I'm on the way to buy that and i want to know is it possible to mine in your pool with bitminter software,becouse i like it.
I know that you have support BFL Singles,but what's happened with another FPGA-s like this one and ZTEX-1.15y

Thank you.

Is there any info on how to control this board?

BFL units use a virtual serial port over the USB connection. I'm going to add Icarus/Cairnsmore next. They also use serial port, so should be easy to add now that I have the serial port mining running with BFL.

I'd like to add others too, I just want to add support for more serial port based devices first as it should be quick to do.

is it possible to implement any ddos avoiding firewall, for sure in the future ?

DDoS is difficult to prevent, especially for a mining pool that looks like a DDoS when operating normally. But I'll look into what can be done.

By the way, if anyone is having problems running the BitMinter client after upgrading to the latest Java, try clearing Java's temporary internet files and starting it again. You find Java temporary internet files in the Java control panel. If using Windows it will be in the Windows control panel. On any OS you can get it with "javaws -viewer" on the command line.

I wanted to have BitMinter as my backup pool but I haven't yet done so because of the payments system that punishes not mining constatly by paying more to the most recent shares instead of valuing them equally.

If I understand this correctly, this makes any pools with this kind of payout inadequate as a backup pool, correct?

No, incorrect. Every share you submit will have a chance of not being paid out or being paid out multiple times. But on average it will be paid out exactly once, just like any other honest payout scheme.

[Sant001]

So it's just variance. This pool looks very good and I have been in touch by e-mail with their support, really happy with my experience with them.

Too bad they don't have PPS tough.

I believe there's a whole thread dedicated to this, if you find it please share the link...

Quite interesting indeed, I think it will be a game changer for mining...

Btw, sorry for connection problems to website and port 80 mining right now. The site is getting much busier and I had to increase some server limits. Should be OK again now.

Its 4:35 pm right now where Im at, and my rigs are submitting shares, I just cant see my net hashrate from the website right now. are there any problems boss?

It's because I restarted the mining backend. After that it takes a few minutes before it has hash rates to display.

There were some problems with dead sockets on the server. Networking on the server is looking so much better with this fixed.

Strange thing. The backend was bound on ipv6 and Linux was automatically mapping incoming ipv4 connections over to ipv6. Apparently this is what left piles of dead sockets. After making sure it binds to ipv4 there is no mapping and everything is fine.

Awesome interface! I like how it displays the estimated BTC per day ( about .29 for my 7950)

Will do my best to step that up once I get this mining thing down
