With all this SOPA crap going on in the US, and Censorship abroad, I believe Namecoin will come into its own. If I read everything properly anyway.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Yeah, but whos complaining. We are still way ahead of our expected revenue. You cant be lucky every single day. Well, at least its statistically very unlikely  . |

Nothing a doubling of hashpower can't "solve". At current difficulty it takes ~62GH/s to acheive an average of one block per day. With variance that ranges from maybe 3x to 1/3.
What seems psychological painful isn't long rounds (deep bit has plenty of long rounds) it is going a "whole day" with no payout.
At ~186GH/s we will average 3 blocks per day. 97% of the time our daily "take" will be 1 to 9 blocks. So on average we should only have 1 no-payout day per month.
Granted in the "long run" none of this matters because average reward is average reward but psychologically it will help gain and retain miners especially the kind who are influenced by luck and "not getting paid".
I believe we can get BitMinter to 200GH/s this year.

I intend to add 1600 Mhash/s with 2 of the BFL fpga miners as soon as my tax return comes back. (We shall see if they can run like they say they do) http://www.butterflylabs.com/product-details/ |

While nowhere near as large-scale as most of you guys, I'm planning on supplementing my 6770 with an FPGA sometime in the next 3 months.

Cool to get some more FPGAs connected! By the way, I noticed every once in a while there is a HEAD request to the pool back end. Is there miner software using HEAD requests? Currently the server responds with "500 Internal Server Error" which is clearly wrong. I'll change this to either "405 Method Not Allowed" or "501 Not Implemented". If someone has a need and purpose for using HEAD requests, I can implement it. It just seems odd as JSON-RPC is based on using only POST requests. -end of today's technical nonsense-  |

I have 800 MH/s fpga power at your pool, soon upgrading to 1.2k MH. |

I have just started looking at the FPGA mining and wonder the best way to get started with it and does it work with bitminter. Right now I have two radeons putting out 700/Mhash in the pool now. Less energy is a good way to go here. Old house not a lot of juice coming in to start. Right now I run 2 seperate computers to mine due to power supply and hardware issues. Any thoughts?

I have 3 comps running , 2 5870's and a 4890. Using just bitminter software, I am pulling about an average of 800 Mhash/s (all windows comps) I am hoping to add to BFL fpga's to my inventory shortly, after I do a little more research on them.
