Hehe that's true, the bounty can be pool hopped. Kind of works the opposite of normal pool hopping - you have to join the server when it's having an unlucky block.

[DrHaribo]

Wow! 5,348,402 proofs of work and 99.0% CDF.

Finally the block was built by our hero DeathAndTaxes!

[P4man]

Pfew. About time that . DnT, gimme an address, I owe you .25

[P4man]

Lol, and that is probably the fastest block ever? DnT, will you marry me

[Turbor]

DNT all the way !

Nice.  Glad I could help.  Also glad we got a quick one to make up for that 5.3 million monster.

Also I think that means I hold the "record" for both longest block and shortest block (based on CDF).

DnT with his Mega hash monster rigs FTW

[DeathAndTaxes]

Anyone else notice the webserver (not mining server) is veeeeerrrryyy slow.  Not down but page loads are taking multiple seconds and sometimes timing out?  Just me?

Grr. I think that monster block killed one of my USB drives.*

* Well probably not but it makes a good story.  One of my USB drives got corrupted this morning and won't respond to a format.

Yes, I've also noticed it..  very slow response..

On other notes, I just used pheonix to mine on bitminter, the java isnt working good for me..

And my ramp up and ramp down in hashing dosent happen with the guiminer.. 

Thanks!

I presume you are using linux?
If you're on Windows, Try running chkdsk on the dead drive.

[ZodiacDragon84]

Maybe we (can) make 4 or 5 Blocks yet today? (Fingers Crossed)

also, just noticed, 98.17% difficulty between DnTs 1st block and 2nd block today...lol I'm sending a bitquarter for that boss...

...I think that monster block killed one of my USB drives...

DAT, please be sure to hose the drive completely with zeroes using dd. If there's some damage to the flash chip itself, dd might fail at the faulty address. Then, partition the drive so that the failed sector is unused. I'm assuming that's a cheap cost-effective drive without wear leveling. If there is wear leveling, you'll never know what's really going on below the write remapper.

[P4man]

Website is down.. or so slow it times out.
It has been becoming slower and slower these past days.

[Turbor]

Sabotage ?

[DeathAndTaxes]

I don't know but maybe DrHaribo can give us some insight on what is going on with the server.  
If you need funds for a better server I would gladly chip in.  This pool has been good for me.

[DrHaribo]

Looking into it. Only the webserver running slowly. Luckily, mining is going fine. Normal load on the server, so not sure yet what's wrong.

[DrHaribo]

I don't know but maybe DrHaribo can give us some insight on what is going on with the server.  

The web server process was overloaded with more requests than it was configured for. The rest of the server was ok, but the web part was slowing down badly. With port 80 mining going through the web server, a lot of bitcointalk users loading the avatar images, plus more people using and visiting BitMinter than before, the pressure on the web server has gone up lately.

I modified the configuration and restarted the web server. It seems to be running fine again now. I just have to be careful I don't let it use too many resources and affect the mining.

The Apache web server software scales really badly (it needs insane amounts of memory when you have many users). I always intended to switch to the more modern Nginx, but I've been putting it off to instead implement new BitMinter features. I may have to switch soon, though.

If you need funds for a better server I would gladly chip in.  This pool has been good for me.

Thanks a lot for the offer. After a couple little fixes I am working on now I will implement donations. If miners donate a little I'll look at some bigger servers.

Some how it kinda lags for me. I still get my 200 mh/s but it looks like the program is lagging.
