I just got a shipment of antminer usb u-1 sticks your client sees them as icaurus like an AM stick which I think may be okay but it just sives me endless noonce errors. So I am guessing we don't have support for antminer sticks as of now.
BTW my Nano Ice fury sticks are working using BFGminer and pointed at your site.
So how do we stand with support for Antminer usb sticks a few days out or longer?

Damn, that was my next choice, I wanted to get in on the group buy, but will not have the bits.

Your pool is down again, my Avy's just switched over to my backup pool, and my USB ASIC's have stopped mining all together.
The pool isn't down again, 9000 people mining. Do you get any error message? So how do we stand with support for Antminer usb sticks a few days out or longer?
I asked the Antminer people if there is any documentation on their USB devices. Hoping to get a reply soon.

I guess your looking at the block at:<BR> 277398 2013-12-28 11:55 3m 23,108,483 1,180,923,195 1.9% 501.3 BTC cbcoins confirmed<BR> I know it's at 501 but I think the Doc ups the number in the subject when the pool sustains the rate for a while.

A ddos attack started up not long ago, which is what dropped the hashrate by 100 TH for a minute as it started. The hashrate was quickly back up again but 3-5% of users were affected by the anti ddos solution and unable to mine for a few minutes longer. It looks like it is mostly getwork users being affected by this. I'll make it a priority to add stratum support to Bitminter client. I've just had too many other important things to deal with. After that it might make sense to remove getwork support from the pool server as well.
The ddos attacks are extremely heavy now around Christmas and new year's eve, just like they were last year. It might have something to do with many people being unhappy and/or angry at this time of year. Hopefully things get calmer as we move out of the holiday season.

After some investigating, I discovered an obscure bug. If you have two or more client instances connecting with different worker names that don't exist (resulting in the default worker being used), , then it can happen that one gets accepted and another one is rejected.
Workaround for now, either use blank worker name on all of them, or create the workers with those names.
This will be fixed in the next mining service update. Sorry for the trouble.
Excellent! Thanks! I'll get that fixed right away. Sorry I screwed things up, but I guess it's good to find the issue so no one else has the problem. Trust me to do something weird that breaks something. "plus you have some bad luck with timing" Bad luck should be my middle name Thanks again for tracking it down!

Nothing to be sorry about. Thanks for discovering this bug. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Indeed it required doing something few users are doing, plus having the right timing to trigger the issue. I'm always happy when I can fix such bugs without too much work tracking them down. Happy new year doc! I wish you all the best Thank you for your hard work I said it many times and I will say it again You are the best Cheers
Thank you. That's much appreciated on a day like this. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Happy new year to you too! And to everyone else out there reading this.

I'm trying to set worker's minimum difficult but it doesn't seem to work. For example, I can set it to 384 in the worker settings but when I run cgminer I see it set as 512. Is there something to do other than set the worker setting?

Something bad is happening here. I continue to see abnormally low shifts every 6 or 8 hours which is keeping my 10 shift average lower than it should be. I am still not catching it when it is happening but I keep checking and finding that shifts are reporting my contributions a good 40% less than they should be which leads me to believe I am being disconnected. My miner is using stratum not getwork.

Try using a backup to another pool. That will let you know if the dropouts are at your end or BitMinters, and if it's at BitMinter's end, you won't lose anything.

I've had a couple of failovers to backup pools in the last few days. But they are infrequent and do not last long.

If you set 384 as the minimum, then you can still get difficulty 512. To lower the difficulty you need to increase the work submits per minute. If that setting is already at 20 (default) then you need the easy mode perk to increase it further.

I have been mining just fine here for months but now it is getting worse all the time. I have 3 bad shifts in the last 10 now. I think I am going to mine elsewhere for a while.

Try organofcorti's suggestion. See if it's switching to backup pool or failing completely.
