The Approximate Mint speed in btc/day is still wrong for me. Do I need to download a newer version?

Also;

When do you anticipate being able to define other pools through the gui (as secondary or primary pools)?
When the different protocols (Stratum, GBT, etc) come online for prod, will you be able to choose in the gui as well as alter difficulty?
When do you anticipate these items being rolled out (if at all)?

Thanks

The fix is only in a beta version so far. One user has reported a performance drop, so this hasn't been released as a stable version yet. There are some changes to reduce CPU usage for FPGA mining, so I want to be sure I didn't break something.

Perhaps you can help test it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=31163.msg1378210#msg1378210

Multi server and pool support will be coming. Most likely both GBT and Stratum too, which will be choosable in the GUI.

I may make it possible to alter difficulty, perhaps setting it on the website. Haven't decided on this yet.

I can't really say when things will be rolled out. As always, I will do my best to get the most important things out as quickly as possible.

pool dropped out for a couple of minutes.

Receiving unusual error when trying to connect to BitMinter:

Code:

JSON stratum auth failed: <unknown reason>

cgminer works fine at all the other pools I use it at though. Any ideas?

[lenny_]

Short question: is var diff enabled on default port, for GetWork miners?

Thanks and sure, will switch 1 bfl single to beta now.

Hasnt been running long but looks like from 70-95MH/s slower. CPU is the same as before, roughly 14%

Let me know if you need to know what worker I am on.

eta: added a 7970 and it performed as normal

Edit #2: I switched back to the prod version and speeds look ok within the Client UI but the Stats webpage shows my ghps at 0. I currently have 3 fpga singles running in geographically dispersed locations (all usa)

The slightly higher rejects with stratum+cgminer on this pool should now be addressed in cgminer 2.9.7. If not, we need to examine why.

[AfricanHunter]

And now we are down. mining offline

Yep. Viva la backup pool.

[juhakall]

Even though cgminer 2.9.7 indeed has very minimal rejects on BitMinter, should the vardiff code still be adjusted to avoid constantly changing difficulty? Have slightly different threshold levels for increasing/decreasing the difficulty, or use a longer time period for averaging shares per minute. I'm not sure if I correctly understood the information on cgminer's thread, but it seemed to indicate that changing difficulty has the potential for some lost work because of latency.

I see that my hashrate estimate has a lot more swings when mining on stratum. With higher difficulty shares, the averaging period should obviously be longer to get a meaningful estimate.

Doc,
Pool is still dead for me..It happened an hour ago.When pool was dead  I garbed latest cgminer 2.9.6 and something is wrong. From the other hand i see that some folks are mining...

[Dagger75]

  Dead for me know too.  Been acouple hours now.

[bigasic]

this seems to always happen when the docs not around... SHit..

[DrHaribo]

Pool having some issues. Working on it.

Everything up and running again. Sorry for the downtime.

namecoind crashed as usual, but something more went wrong causing very high cpu usage. I'm looking into it (logs, heap dump) to make sure it won't happen again. The high cpu usage was also the reason that the website was unstable.

Happy the pool is back up, I rather mine at Bitminter than the PPS back-up pool

Did you change the config? Wrong name/password maybe?
