128 please.
Why are you even still here? You don't deserve an opinion on ANYTHING to do with Eligius.

Thx for the work wizkid, I'll give you & the missus a tip shortly.
Also anyone know if v2.srv.eligius.st:12234 is back up? Although I did switch to main stratum and knc jupiter problems with cgminer appear to be pretty much fixed nov jup does have 5% hw errors but not 10% and no cores disabling anyone else find this?
Edit: Also my miners show 0 rejected shares on stats page is this a stats issue?
Must have spoken too soon nov jup acting up again

Thanks WK for all the efforts! Unfortunately I'm a small miner (8Gh/s) and diff 8 will probably kill me Anyway, what has to be done, has to be done.

Everything looks great again - have observed for the past 12 hours, so looks like all is stable (stat-wise, as the pool kept on truckin' along...many thanks, and donation was well worth it). I've noticed some of you have enabled a function to donate, and I will look for this as well. While I like the idea of zero fees, having a little BTC flow for pool upkeep is BTC well *spent*. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Apart from a couple trolls - you know who you are - this community is all right. I've posted more in two days than I have in the entire duration I've been a member of these forums (way to many trolls, and pathetic discourse makes me generally avoid this place like the plague). I've got a general question for the non-troll members of this particular pool, but if I should look elsewhere, just point me in the right direction, and I'll leave you be. I've been at other pools with merged mining, but by the time I decided to participate, the option was gone. Just briefly, as I don't want anyone spending time explaining from the beginning, but I'm curious what the real advantage is to also mining NMC. I'm familiar with the basics, and know there are exchanges that allow me to convert it to other alt-coin, incl. BTC. I have ~270 GH/s currently. Is merged mining worth it, as in will I actually see real benefit from participating? It has been several months since I looked into it, so I'm no longer up-to-speed. I've read in the past that it doesn't affect BTC mining, so that isn't a concern. I'm simply wondering that at my hashrate, if might actually benefit. So far, I only mine BTC, and have been doing so for roughly 15 months. If I can improve the work output of my collage of mining gear, I'd be interested to give it a boost. Most of you seem quite knowledgeable, and are not pricks, so I figured I ask. Again, if I need to post this elsewhere, just let me know. Most of you seem helpful, so I figured I'd start here. With NMC, I am definitely a total noob....if this post didn't tip you off. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Thanks in advance.

I am also a small time miner currently just under 12Gh/s, can someone explain how diff 8 will change things for everyone and how it might affect small time miners? I tried to Google diff 8 but it seems its not a real good search term and I don't have the background to search this topic better, if someone has a good link that would also be great, thanks in advance.

It probably will not make a diff to you; higher difficulty will affect the block erupters and GPU miners mostly. Technically higher difficulty is good; you spend more time bashing away at the problem and less time sending the results and such.

Regarding the diff 8 change: Assuming your vardiff is currently below 8, you will see a higher variance in your personal stats reporting when this change is made. Your miner will report shares less frequently to eligius, but each share will be worth more. You will not earn less due to this change.

Thanks for the quick response! So basically if I understand this each block will be harder and will take more time to solve on slower devices, this ups the probability of the block being rejected or found by someone else first? Hopefully I will be moving into the 100Gh/s + realm soon, just trying to take all this info in, its incredibly hard to make heads or tails on the feasibility of small time miners...actually the case of so much info its hard to get the real real so thanks for the insight all!

And worth more shares of course. As long as the time is not anywhere near the 10 minutes to find a block (at which point your work in progress goes down drain) it should be fine. As in many things, life is a balance; the more time your hashing engines spend hashing and not reporting things is more money. Even on a diff 32 system overall (my 50gh unit) the two block erupters keep up with minimal rejects. C

Most of you seem quite knowledgeable, and are not pricks, so I figured I ask. It will be a small incremental boost to what you earn with your BTC mining. But it's free; you're already doing the work when you mine BTC, so there's no reason not to set up an NMC address and earn that small extra increment. I started mining a few days ago. My hash rate is around 230GH/s. I have almost a full NMC (to be fair, this included wizkid's bonus, so I'm not sure what I would have normally earned). At current exchange rates, this is worth 0.006BTC or roughly $5. This may not be a whole lot, but if I saw $5 laying in the street, I would surely pick it up.

Wow. The asics really made it easy for everyone, didn't it... I remember sweating over my gpus in the dark, struggling with driver versions and testing every card on pools that might dissappear with coin at any moment... all to blister along at 1GHs watching the electricity meter spin off my house. Welcome to bitcoin, 2014... ugh

Think of it this way: More people to confirm transactions. Which is always a good thing. But yeah the optimal solution would be if every to be delivered miner failed in a spectacular fashion so I was the only one in the world with an ASIC. :-) Or something like that.

Hi everyone. I'm new to bitcoin mining and have a question about Eligius. As I understand, in order to merge-mine namecoins, I simply need to add my namecoin address to the options page. Before submitting the changes I need to "sign" the message generated by Eligius. I have done all of this using bitcoin-qt to generate the signature and the signature was accepted by Eligius. I have read that it takes only an hour for the changes to take place but now it's 24 hours later and don't see any indication that I am now merge-mining namecoins. I expected to see an indication on the web page with my user statistics ( http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/<My bitcoin address>) but didn't see any. I tried going to a user statistics page with my namecoin address ( http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/userstats.php/<My namecoin address>), but got the message ""Error: Username <my namecoin address> not found in database." How can I know that I am mining namecoins?

And if you don't feel like syncing your NMC wallet constantly, you can check your address in the NMC block explorer: http://explorer.dot-bit.org/
