I actually really like this pool, I came to this pool from slush's pool, I like the support and the updates from the good Dr.
My earlier question still stands though, I am wondering if I should set up a mining proxy for my incoming blade, or if I should just connect to the getwork protocol....
what are the pros and cons of both, since I know getwork is the system, and stratum is the new hotness (relatively).

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Getwork: easier to set up but the blade/cube runs slowly. Stratum proxy: more to set up, but the blade/cube runs at full speed. How to set up ASICMiner cubes and blades: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27062.msg3046129#msg3046129 |

Thanks doc!!! I appreciate it!
I am working on migrating from USB to higher hashrate hardware...... I think I will go with the proxy since I am already using BFG miner on the pool. Its just going to take me a bit....I spent what bit pennies I did have on some new hardware to do this....(BTW tigerdirect is pretty cool that they take BTC...too bad they don't post their prices in BTC).... I have one blade coming that I got off of flea bay for a steal.....but now I have to save my bit pennies again to get more hardware....hopefully one day I can get those big bitcoin rewards (yeah probably not due to the difficulty rise...)...

I stongly recommend a proxy for blades and cubes.
I tried it both ways: with getwork I got only 50% of the hashrate.
And after a few hints from the Doc I had the proxy installed in 10 min.

Is the problem with bitfury devices only sending in some of their proofs of work fixed? Was there a firmware update or something like that?
Or is it still necessary to set a high difficulty or other tricks?

Yes, I noticed 25GH higher work recently than the past few days. It was something the pool did. I'm back at 700GH. 2014-03-11 19:56 3h 59m 3,815,723,798 456.7 719.9 0.157641% 2,408,448

Yes, I noticed 25GH higher work recently than the past few days. It was something the pool did. I'm back at 700GH. I think if you are affected by the bitfury bug then your hashrate on the website drops to almost nothing because the bitfury only sends in a small fraction of its work. I'm not that familiar with it though - I don't have any bitfury cards. Just noticed bitminter go down, but it's back up again, that's why I'm here. My client has been connected 5 days without being disconnected at all. Maybe that was a problem somewhere out on the interwebs. |

you want to save for an antminer s-1 they are very nice far far far better then a blade or a cube. I decided that I would move back from btcguild. I am now running 4 antminer s-1's around 720gh right here at the doc's. I am hoping to expand to 6 or maybe 8 in the next month. this will have me at 1080- 1440gh. |

I'm considering jumping to an Antminer but I wonder how loud they are? Right now I'm pretty spoiled bc my Chilis have quiet coolers and before them I replaced my Jally fan with a Noctua. Where would you say these fall noise wise? |

I wouldn't call the S1 silent, but it is far from loud. It is louder than a block erupter cube, but they ran nearly silent. The fan is big, so it doesn't make a whine noise like those 1U box fans. For me it has been a cadillac compared to all of my other miners, easy to setup, not mining_proxy needed. Just works, and switches between up to 3 pools automatically on any downtime. |

I have my S1 direct beside my desk.
It is pretty silent. I would say about the noise of a normal desktop computer. My cube was way louder.
Only the changes in fanspeed are kind of annoying (from the noise-side. For power consumption it is good of course)

Just works, and switches between up to 3 pools automatically on any downtime. this is about perfect as a description . one more thing they can run days on end with no maintenance. I do not over clock them and I have ups lots of them good ones. So I can run for 90 minutes in a black out. so with the 3 pool rollover settings I use bitminter,btcguild,cex.io even if the blackout skips you to a rollover pool no down time. Also if usa based here is a great switch runs 16 ports. 1 in 15 out http://www.rakuten.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=217395316 |

Since am sticks are very cheap now you could hold on to them and hope a swap is possible. |
