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

Try clicking the "tune & tweak" button for the GPU and selecting a lower work interval. Try 5 ms, that should be smooth, or even 1 ms.

My first try at pool mining with DiabloMiner

I get: ERROR: cannot connect to mint.bitminter.com Bitcoin disconnected during response: 500 Internal Server Error

What am I doing wrong? Do I need a bitcoin client running on my miner?

No.  The error message is misleading.   Make sure you have your workers, username, password, url correct.

BitMinter uses _ naming convention.  ACCOUNT_WORKER

if you still get errors provide the full connection string (just replace password w/ pass)

Sorry about that. It's fixed in a new version of the mining back end that I hope soon to put into production.

New mining back end is up and running. Sorry if you got a couple rejected proofs of work during the switch.

This fixes the error mentioned in the previous posts. Long polling has also been improved, but we'll have to wait and see whether it will have a visible effect on the number of rejected proofs of work. Also, connections from miners are kept alive longer. There's at least one buggy miner that attempts to reuse connections that have been closed. This should result in fewer error messages in such miners because the server won't close the connection on you as long as you are actively mining.

DrHaribo, have you considered adding Devcoin merged mining support?

Devcoin - I don't know if I believe in that one. A coin where some central dude gets 10% of the minted coins, and he decides how to distribute 80% of the coins to "developers" by some criteria I don't know about. The last 10% goes to miners.

And also, why would anyone pay for those devcoins? Because they want to donate to open source? Just send bitcoins instead. If you send bitcoins, 100% of your donation goes to the developer.

If miners here want it I could implement it even if I don't understand the purpose of devcoin. But I'm also worried about a 51% attack being very easy against such a tiny coin. Wasn't there recently some sort of attack against a new coin?

If you go to devcoin.org you see devcoin has its own pool at pool.devcoin.org. Strangely it says "You are here: BitMinersUnion.org - Pool Statistics". BitMinersUnion? And also "Pool Hash Rate: 0 Ghash/s", "Active Workers: 1". There seems to be only one dude mining?

I think it could be cool to have some more coins or other bitcoin-like commodities in the pool. But I just wish the bitcoin clones would have some real purpose and novel features. Well, maybe I'm mixing up purpose and profitability?

Any thoughts, everyone? Devcoin? Litecoin? Others?

I wasn't making any comment on the usefulness of devcoin, I just don't see a reason not to merge mine and sell the devcoins for a tiny bit of extra profit.

In terms of purpose, Litecoin looks to be the best of the alt chains, but it can't be merge-mined with Bitcoin.

None of the above.  There is always a cost.  Merged mining isn't free for the pool operator.  It takes time, introduces bugs, requires testing, likely new pages/reports, etc.

Time & resources better spent making Bitminter the best Bitcoin pool.

Please don't make me heartbroken Haribo as I know I will be if I lose this pool.
Stales are pretty much extinct here and I'd prefer for it to stay this way.
How about staying true to the old *nix paradigm "Do One Thing and Do It Well"?

Alternative *coins are basically worthless and I don't think anyone actually gives a rat's ass about them.
Litecoin is laughable trying to coexist with Bitcoin. Current btc-e price is 1200 LTC for one BTC.
This CPU-based coin is apparently mined by kids trying to make use of their mining rigs' CPUs forgetting that CPUs use power as well.

litecoin mining at least makes more sense than mining bitcoins with the cpu, as currently implemented in bitminter miner app. I think its an okay way to introduce people to the concept, and its nice to be able to mine several coins per hour rather than per year, even though they are close to worthless. Think of if as a testnet.

As for merged mining other coins; meh. From a miner's profit motive, its really not worth it. And to support those chains, I havent seen any one I feel like worth supporting, with the possible exception of namecoin, but thats already implemented (and not worth it anymore either from a profit POV).

We may wish to petition the mods for getting stickied as a top 10 pool.

It looks like ozcoin is ~20GH/s and is still stickied.

On edit: looks like their 24 hour avg is 85GH/s and their 7 day avg is 200 GH/s.  Maybe we shouldn't contact admin yet but we should keep an eye on it.

True, adding new coins takes some effort. It's all about making the right priorities.

Alternative *coins are basically worthless and I don't think anyone actually gives a rat's ass about them.

Well, yeah, after all that hard work to implement merged mining, it turns out most miners don't care at all about namecoins. And some miners are just confused by them. They wonder what they should do with them, or how to put them in their bitcoin wallet.

So I think I'll put this off for now. After putting in a lot of work changing the system so it can handle more than just bitcoins, it would be cool to make more use of those possibilities. But at the moment I'm not sure it makes sense.

Time for a BitMinter rise to power?

Yeah, let's do this!

I am sure eventually someone will make a an alt-coin with a purpose.  Blockchains can be used for some many normally centralized functions.  Coins which exist to be an alternative to Bitcoin serve no larger purpose.   Eventually someone will make a useful alt-coin and then Bitminter will be ready.
