Heads up: your pool was giving me connection problems, so I'm off it for now .

Really very nice. I would ask for a last addiction: a measure of our average actual CDF.
Awesome pool.

I'm sorry to hear that. If you let me know the time (and timezone) this happened, I can have a look in the logs if there is anything to indicate this was a server-side problem.

Thank you. I will add some averages. Also, it seems the timestamps on the blocks and shifts in the live stats are not UTC like they should be. The audio alarm seems a little trigger happy too, going off when there are no new blocks. Will fix these things very soon.

[P4man]

The live stats full size? What is not working with it?

Nevermind, it was a caching issue after all, all looks great now. Fantastic work!

  the homepage is great. Now, all we need is some more luck.

[DrHaribo]

Glad you like the changes.

I added today an extra chart on the rewards statistics showing the earnings accumulating over time.

Also forgot to mention in the big update earlier that I added a QR button in the cash out addresses. Click it and a QR code representing the address is shown. You can scan it from the screen if you use the bitcoin wallet program for Android. Will be more useful later perhaps, with more bitcoin addresses on the website.

Now, all we need is some more luck.

You said it. This block has the highest CDF the pool has seen on a BTC block so far. I really hope this ends soon.

I guess we will soon see whether litecoin is just another failcoin copy of bitcoin, or if it actually has something to offer that bitcoin doesn't.

Although litecoin has a few actual advantages over BTC, the reason Im suggesting it is not that Im convinced it will take over the world. Its because bitminter's cpu mining speed is (no offense) useless, replacing it with litecoin mining would make it useful.

Litecoin price/difficulty doesnt make it hugely profitable but at least for now, certainly more interesting than namecoins. The fact it can be done with cpus and doesnt need drivers or highend amd cards, would also be a strong asset for any syndication deal that would target your miner to regular folks, rather than us nerds.

+1. I second the idea to dedicate the cpu section of the miner to some cpu-friendly coin.

[DrHaribo]

Another beta of the miner released today. Automation coming in the next one.

I hear you guys about CPU-mining. What I will probably do first is implement bitcoin mining with CPU using OpenCL. That should hopefully be just slow and not dead slow. Next step for CPU mining then is to make libraries with native code for the miner to use. Then it could be as fast as any CPU miner. I'll need a way to turn some assembly code into a .dll for Windows, .so for Linux and whatever Mac uses for Mac. If anyone knows a way to build all that on a Linux machine then please let me know.

CPU mining isn't near the top of my list, but it is on it.

Honestly I wouldnt bother with bitcoin cpu mining. No one does that anymore. If its on you todo list, move it to the bottom

Agreed.  Unless you have free power the electricity is worth more than the hashes.  If it were me I would remove it from the miner completely.

Even if your electricity is free, you'll be spending more to replace the processor or motherboard after it dies on you than it earned during its use.

[DrHaribo]

Agreed on CPU-mining. I have a lot of plans and CPU-mining is quite far down on the list. Way down with support for Radeon HD 2000- and 3000-series. They are probably not very profitable for mining either.

And yes, as long as someone is paying enough for litecoins to make them more valuable to CPU-mine than bitcoins, it makes more sense to implement that.

A quick heads up to my fellow miners in the greatest pool on earth!

I am going on a cruise this friday for a week and in the sake of promoting marital bliss I have decided to shutoff all my rigs while I am gone.  My wife would worry otherwise (although IMHO over nothing).  I have learned to pick my battles and this isn't one of them.

Grr I am going to hate passing up that ~90 BTC.  Since I push up to 10 GH/s the pool hashing power will take a little hit didn't want anyone to worry.  I am still sticking w/ BitMinter and will be firing up the rigs as soon as I get back.

Have a nice time

Answer 1: If she is worried about a fire starting, I don't see how the odds are all that different if you are away for a week or away for an evening.

Answer 2: Marital bliss is more important than some BTC.

Preaching to the choir man.

Indeed.

Thanks for your continued support, DAT. Have fun on your cruise! Sounds like a nice relaxing time.

DrHaribo can you please turn on the block finding cheat again? Thank you .
