Thanks for clarification. I'm understanding the dashboard and immense information given slowly one thing at a time. Earlier I made some suggestions and now I see why those suggestions were not implemented since those are no needed that much.
Good suggestions go on my TODO list. But it may take a while before I get to them - it's a long list. What I'd like to see is a timer showing "time since last block found" as it would help in deciding when to turn off my miners for the night and other times of the day.
This is already available. Look at "duration" for the BTC and NMC round data shown at https://bitminter.com/livestats/bigBUT: it doesn't matter when you turn off your equipment. There is no good or bad time to stop mining. It used to be that for many pools there was a good time to stop mining at the pool, to maximize income. This was called pool hopping. Only a few pools are still vulnerable to it. More info here: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5072/what-is-pool-hopping |

I've noticed the Livestats\big page is now showing only BTC blocks under the 'Lastest Blocks' section; up until a few days ago it used to show NMC as well. Was this change intentional?

Yes. For a long time people were complaining it is disappointing to hear the new block sound and then realize it was only an NMC block. NMC value also dropped a lot lately and is a less significant part of the income now. So I made the latest blocks on the livestats only show BTC. And the transaction history and workers page only show BTC data by default, and there's a filter you can change to see the NMC data. |

There is no good or bad time to stop mining. I see it now under BTC round section. That's exactly what I was looking for. I know it doesn't matter when miners are turned off, I'm just trying to get familiarized to how things are presented on the site. |

Is there a way to get my Blue Fury USB to work with BitMinter, or do I have to use bfgminer? I've tried the beta downloaded from the website but that doesn't pick it up. Can I then get bfgminer to use the BitMinter server, so I can see everything in one place?

I use my block erupters with bitminter client. I then use my red fury with bfgminer. If I go to bit minter.com to look the worker adds the two together. were you able to load the driver for the blue fury. I use windows 7. http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/bfgminer/3.5.1/ I loaded the bfgminer from here. I used the bfgminer-3.5.1-win64zip . I am only running red fury with the 3.5.1 client the be's run on doc's client. same worker same pc. |

If you mean, is it only namecoins that are possible to merge mine with bitcoin, then no there are a handful of other coins. Not sure if they're really "worth it" but would be nice to have a couple of others, then at least the small miners get a few "whole" coins of some type to play on the exchanges with and make them feel like they're earning something when the bitcoins are coming in at 0.01 a day or less.

We are mining namecoins with bitcoin hashes. We could mine them with namecoin hashes, but then we would be unable to use the same hashes to create bitcoins. It would be a massive loss on your mining income, generating the same amount of namecoins as before, but zero bitcoins. Bitminter does not offer that because it makes no sense. |

1 Namecoin is only worth 0.0017 Bitcoin right now so it is really important to have a whole 1.
Just think of Namecoins as a bonus along with the BTC you mine and exchange them for Bitcoin.

What are base fees again ? I seem to be misingg the info lol, I wana say 1% but that sounds too low.
Right now I have 0.6% in perks used... I was thinkin of prepay but that ott me to thinkin on base fees, if it's 1% and I add prepay that puts my perks at 2.10% and is base is one then my totals 3.10%. Wana try to do some math to see if prepay is worth it, even thouh I have never seen an orphaned block... I've always seen em confirm.

The fee is 1% (it's on the bitminter.com front page). Yes, it's very low. So 1% fee + 0.6% donation = 1.6% If your donations reach 2% you can activate the pro minter perk, which makes all other perks free. That way you never need to go higher than 2% donation to get all the features. 1% fee + 2% donation = 3% which has long been a common fee at pools. |
