Now if I only could use it in a phone not made by the devil itself.

Agreed...Android FTW!

namecoind keeps locking up. Sorry for delayed bitcoin payouts again.

Monit is running and detects a crash but not namecoind locking up. Working on it..

Block 206888 took 10h 39min and 18,719,950 shares to complete... unluckiest block so far for BitMinter?

I think you jinxed it! Might end up being only a 4 block day

The shares/difficulty is what matters.
When Difficulty is 40,000,000 18,719,950 shares will be very nice ...

For block 206888, 18,719,950 is only 566.5%

You'll find them sometimes over 800% ... though I'm not sure if any big pool has yet hit 900%

I believe deepbit recently has a 30m share block with the difficulty around 3m...

The current block height is 202879, so around 202879 blocks have been solved (ignoring orphans). So we'd expect the longest round ever to have a CDF of ~ (202879-1)/202879.

The quantile function for shares per round / D ~ -log(1 - prob)

So the largest shares per round / D I'd expect in 202879 blocks would be in the neighbourhood of:

-log(1-(202879-1)/202879) ~ 12.22 x D or 1222% of D.

We've got huge rounds to look forward to!

Edit: Unless they already happened.

I use BTCMon and is an excellent tool. Only thing is you need to up your donation to get the API key for it to work

 Doing a lot better today. We had a string of pretty quick blocks.

Will Bitminter client be ready when BFL will ship their products ?

That's the plan, and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work out.

By the way, there's a thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=123607 and petition at http://www.change.org/petitions/six-interbank-clearing-include-a-symbol-for-bitcoin-in-iso-4217 to get bitcoin an ISO-standard three-letter currency symbol. Seems like a good idea.

how come whenever my hardware has issues while I'm sleeping, before I fix it when I wake up... in those few hours, bitminter gets 10 quick blocks?  I call conspiracy!

Fix your hardware issues

namecoind managed to deadlock itself AGAIN.

Did anyone notice? No? Because Monit just killed and restarted it. Monit is an awesome tool

This should allow us to keep namecoins for a while without issues. But if namecoin is no longer maintained and security problems start to appear then it's good night namecoin. In my opinion namecoin has a lot of potential, but if developers don't keep working on it then it becomes a security risk running old unmaintained software. Let's hope they don't let it end like that.

Monit IS an awesome tool! 

The real question is: Have you setup monit to monitor everything else the bitminter technology stack?

Yep. Thanks for the hint on that one. Works much better than Nagios just telling me something is broken.

Working on it. I wanted to see first how Monit worked out, and it is looking great. I could get used to this sort of hands-off server administration.

I'll have to add pidfiles for my own apps - I don't think Monit will work right without those.

BitMinter now supported at http://json.karasoft.com/ with predefined templates. While BTCmon and Bitcoinium are great on phones, this one is perfect on big screens - it can show a lot of information at the same time and is very configurable.

I added a new menu on the bitminter website, "tools" -> "third party apps", where you can find the apps and sites with BitMinter support.

I hope we get to keep mining NMC for a good while yet.  They add up over time.
