what's going on? it seems like a lot of miners including me getting disconnected
my miners switched to backup pool several times the past 24 hours

[DrHaribo]

The problems with namecoin continue:

I have found an issue in the Bitminter pool software that is affected by the namecoin instability. I'm testing out a fix now.

You will get disconnected one more time later today (hopefully in the next couple hours) when the new mining server version goes live. Sorry for the short notice. It's only a downtime of 2 seconds though, and the purpose is to improve stability.

I'm just fixing the Bitminter bug that is triggered by prolonged namecoin instability. I'm hoping someone else will fix the namecoin bug.

New version up and running on the mining server.

Namecoin malfunctioning constantly rather than frequently should no longer affect us. Knock on wood.

Hi, i received yesterday payment after last block was found, but today i just saw that we found another block 49mins ago, and i didnt receive any payment, i have my balance = 0  

Did you receive payment for last block? My expected was 0.03087484  BTC

Status of that block says: STALE, what that means?

Proofs of work submitted: 12996605262

Work begun: 2014.08.22 - 20:33

Work completed: 2014.08.23 - 11:54

Block on blockexplorer: 0000000000...

Coin generation on blockexplorer: unknown

Total income (minting + fees): 0 BTC

Amount paid out to users: 0 BTC

Status of that block says: STALE, what that means?

Stale work means stale blocks. It's not shown in most mining pools, they just throw them away silently. Stale work and stale blocks happen once in a while. There's no income from this.

Why not just drop NMC until they get their act together or pick another alt coin that can be merge mined ?

[DrHaribo]

We'll now confirm blocks at 100 confirmations (was 120)

Cute and commendable (lol I started out with those U1/U2's and moved on to the Rockminer R-box to try out some of friedcat & ASICminer's hardware).  In case you're looking to add more hashing power, the R-boxes are a bit more scalable, and the pool server seems to feed them pretty efficiently with vardiff shares.  Otherwise, you might wanna try the new ~800 Gh/s ASICminer tube (it'll be the cheapest option, and even more so while the BTC price is still low).

Live stats improved.

• Your place on the top50 list is highlighted. If you are not among the top 50 fastest users you will appear at the bottom of the table below place 50.
• Timestamps (on blocks etc) are now replaced by dates when they are over 24 hours old.
• For the round stats, reject numbers are aligned with accept numbers.

Thanks for adding this feature!

Thanks Doc.  The new changes are great.  I've never been in the top 50 but its nice to see how close I am.  No I'm tempted to add some more hash in only to see my name on the wall of fame.

[silverthornne]
