Apologies to bitminter miners if you upgraded to cgminer 3.3.3 which uniquely only broke this pool. I will be releasing a hotfix release today, 3.3.4, designed to mainly address this issue (if you are building from git the fix is already available).
I do not like to sound or read so nasty but after a long list of poor btc companies and the like I am tired. Feel free to write your own mining client. Nothing stops you. Everything is open source. It is called 'fix it yourself, if you're not happy of the software GIVEN to you'. ckolivas is one of the most generous person to share his technical skills freely to the whole community. If he did receive 1 BTC per cgminer copy used or just received a small donation for each hour spent to improve cgminer for the benefits of all his users, he would be awesomely rich. The hero title he has is well merited. In my mind, he is playing an important role for mainstream BTC adoption with his contribution. I hope that you calm down a bit, realised that you might have overreacted and offer him your sincere apologizes. The recent pool bad luck has nothing to do with cgminer. Well I do apologize for anger directed at a person that made a simple error. I have been frustrated over mining issues that were not of his making. Frankly I could never hold a candle to any one that writes a client my skills are not that good. |

50 mil difficulty. Way beyond my prediction of 43 mil for this retarget.
The plateau is becoming a myth...

I'd like to thank SgtSpike for finding that block.
I'd like to thank everyone who has found a block thus far. I am waiting for my chance to see my name on "teh Intehweb".  |

Is it Bitminter or the entire network? That's two blocks in more than one day. Was Bitminter hacked, or did someone just turn on a massive new portion to the network?

I understand everyone's nerves are frayed with the hardware/investment/profit/difficulty situation. Apology accepted and issue forgotten. Now we can get back to the serious business of complaining about hardware manufacturers. |

Now we can get back to the serious business of complaining about hardware manufacturers. Thanks I have been really stressed over gear for a long time. I never meant to question your integrity and was venting about a lot of stuff that you have 0 to do about. I am mining 58 asic miner sticks (sold 27 on ebay) and waiting for 70 more to come in. My only other hashing is from cloudhasher and that has been a disappointment. Oh and once again bfl has not made up a lot ground on my orders of jalapeno's Also waiting on bit fury and knc. Well at least asic miner sends gear to miners quickly. 128 sticks will hash at 40gh plus. |

Yep. My guesstimate was 46 million, and I had based my desired price for ASIC miners on a presumed 20% difficulty increase per adjustment. I thought I was being safe and making a conservative estimate. Guess not. |
Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Disagreements and arguments that end in apologies, forgiveness, and reconciliation from both parties? I thought we were on the internet. WTF is this shit?

Funny, I was sure that ckolivas' post about that cgminer bug would be misunderstood, since it was right after everyone had been complaining about bad luck for a page or two. I guess he just came to tell us about that bug without bothering to read the thread (and why should he?). Nice timing  |

Nice timing yeah once I saw that I put really my foot in my mouth I realized I better learn to read more carefully and not pop my mouth off on a decent guy. Well all is well that ends well. |

I have a 3/31 Jalapeno that I did recently upgrade to 7 and I'm pretty sure by the time it gets to me I might be able to use it to warm a mug of coffee. That was a serious jump and we currently seem to be without WhitePhantom and CloudHashing  |

Or is should say WAS bad. we'll be back at it - just normal variance. |

You can't pool hop away from bad luck in a pool that isn't vulnerable to hopping. The bad luck already happened, it's too late to hop. In a pool with a proportional reward system you can, but not here. |

That's the thing about bad luck, it follows you to the next pool.  |

But the fact that they both left during the run of bad luck makes me think that's what they are doing. |
