Goody! Can you also add payout notification via email as well? 

It's on my list.

Down again?

I just restarted the mining backend to get an update in. Now it can recover by itself from some types of failure. It should also be better able to handle stormy internet weather disrupting communications between bitminter servers in different data centers.

More stability improvements coming soon..

Apologies for the downtime.

One of the servers ran into low memory issues. Seems everything is happening today at once. I'll be working to improve stability during the next few days.

Hey DrHaribo,

I've been testing around with several mining pools over the past 3 weeks and have now decided to stay with bitminter permanently.

The few main factors that gave me my decisions are:
1. You are always around to answer questions. From the site itself, it's obvious how dedicated you are to this pool.
2. Your statistic page is beyond amazing. Amazing.
3. Merged NMC mining.

You are doing a great job and I think I should at least made it known to you that someone here is appreciating all your work.

PS: I can't seem to stay permanently logged on the site. Is it an intended feature? Since google login bugs out sometimes and I have to try multiple times to get myself logged.

I too am impressed with DrHaribo's pool, efforts and presence.   It's been a stable environment, and truly "bitcoin mining made easy".  I'm pretty impressed with the miner client, which I tried because I couldn't get cgminer to run for days on end.  Although since I found cgwatcher, I'm back to cgminer.

Keep up the great work.

From my experience, it only keeps you logged in for as long as your browser is open, or a few hours, whichever comes first. It would be nice for it to stay logged in, but Google sign-in makes it relatively easy still.

I will join the crowd for the kudos do DrHaribo's great work and support. I leave most of my hashrate here. And the unlucky days are over ;-)

I also had a look at BitGamesInc, a link that he tweeted a couple of days ago, it looks very promising too. Mining for micro-payments, I was wondering who would be the first to make it in a viable way. It looks like they did!

[DrHaribo]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it

And yeah, web sessions timing out is intentional. It's a long timeout though, much longer than most sites that handle money. I know it's annoying to get logged out of the livestats. Maybe I can get that to keep working, but still time out sessions so someone else can't cash out your bitcoins if you forgot to log out.

[Jcw188]

Wow what a little run of good luck there!  Nice job guys!

Also, looks like maybe realasicminer is on his way out?  They have been cutting back here in the last couple days I think.  Also what happened to testtest?  Used to be 700,000 mh/s there at number 1/2 on the hash list.

[veleten]

too much of  a downtime lately
working on something or the server acts up ?

[daddyfatsax]

Website is down now.

[induktor]

Website is down now.

Yep... site down

[veleten]

also
the amount of blocks over 95 % is beyond anything reasonable
just count the number of them and compare to the amount of blocks under 5 %
ud be surprised

[DrHaribo]

Website was having an issue. Fixed now.

Apologies for the downtime.

And i am happy. There are a bad days of course but as overall i am really happy

Yeah, once again it comes down to confidence intervals. If you have 100 blocks and you split it into 5% bins, then you expect 5 in each bin. Unfortunately, the 95% confidence interval for 5 in each bin is between 1 and 10.

To make the confidence interval smaller you need to either increase the number of blocks or increase the bin size.

Hi Doc,

Thank you for all you do.  Your pool is the best there is.  I've never mined anywhere else for more than a day except for backups.  One day anywhere else always brings me back here.

I'd like to see if I can possibly bump a feature that's been on your to-do list for a long time.

• E-Mail notifications when an active worker has stopped sending work

This is one of the few days that I haven't had a chance to glance at my two mini-rigs, and I just realized they have been down the the last 12 shifts (host PC crashed).  I don't want to be pushy, as it's your pool and if I don't like it, I should go elsewhere.  I refuse to do that because this pool is both awesome AND still merged-mines NMC.  If you can't get to this feature any time soon, that's cool and I understand, but I figured it's worth asking.

Thanks again for the greatest pool in the world.

[DrHaribo]

Thanks for the kind words

E-Mail notifications when an active worker has stopped sending work

That's one of the top priority items now.

[candoo]

Very very bad luck again?

[induktor]

dunno, but at least it's not worst than btcguild right now
so far so good

[Turbor]

Very very bad luck again?

You call that bad luck ? https://bitminter.com/blocks Looks normal to me.
