For those negative nancies like myself, would it be possible to start getting information like this put somewhere on the PPLNS Shift History page? I think it might get more people to stick with PPLNS through the phases of bad luck if they had some stats they could look at that verified the average yield of blocks per shift. Putting it simply, that information you just posted about the last 90 Matured sprints, I don't have access to (unless I were to track it myself and do the math myself, all of which I don't have time for).

I'm looking into it.  I actually calculated it by copy & pasting the table into excel and selecting the Block/Per Share columns to autosum/average Smiley.


EDIT/UPDATE:  I've added the last 100-matured shifts per-share rate above the PPLNS Shift History table.  This number is somewhat unreliable for comparison after a difficulty change.

Awesome!

Will this update every completed shift or is this just manual labor on your part?

It's automatically calculated every time a shift completes.

Everybody who saw the nice run of luck since 01/20/13 can thank me.  I tried PPLNS since inception here and was getting the crappiest luck ever (even worse than that 2 month streak BTCG had 2 years ago).  The most I ever saw was 1 17 block shift and a few 14s, and I even caught a 0.  I leave and kept checking every day just to confirm my suspicions.  Yep 21s nonstop and close to 140% PPS rate for about the last 3 weeks.  I'll say it again... Damn you lady lucky!

I should be paid to modify a pools luck one way or another LMAO  Grin Huh  Undecided  Cry

One stratum server was acting up earlier.  Some work is being done to distribute the BTC Guild servers across more datacenters to reduce the effectiveness of DDoS attacks.

The website may be inaccessible for a brief period.


EDIT/UPDATE:  New DNS entries made for the website.  If you're having problems connecting, try flushing your DNS cache (in windows, open a command prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns, then restart your browser and try again).

There was a small problem earlier where users were being given the error message that they had made too many invalid login attempts recently, and should wait ~800 seconds.  This was an unexpected side effect of moving parts of the website/database infrastructure.  The problem should no longer appear, and I'm sorry that this error was not caught earlier in the transition.

Hey was woundering if we could bet a new column  on pplns history page. The column being just the blocks mined that block period. I dont have any specific need for it i just think it might look a little nicer so we can see how many blocks in one shift we mined.

The pool website is temporarily unavailable.  Working on restoring it immediately.  Migration to a different host node is also happening while the current node is being restored, so this should not happen again unless there is an attack.

All stratum servers, and most getwork servers are still functioning normally.


UPDATE:  Website is back online, and the one getwork server that was down should be restored shortly.
UPDATE2: Server migration in process for the website.
UPDATE3: Server migration was finished after about 20 minutes.  Mining on most servers was unaffected, only one getwork server was unavailable for part of the migration.

The last seven open shifts all have zero solves. Is this just a display issue or are we really just getting this unlucky with the new difficulty?

Unlucky since the difficulty change.  Our blocks show up clearly on Blockchain.info due to being tagged with 'BTC Guild' or 'Mined by BTC Guild' (Stratum uses 'Mined by', getwork is just 'BTC Guild').  The day is young though!

EDIT:  See, this always happens.  Within minutes of complaining about luck, a block appears.  And if people do the opposite and mention our good luck, we have a dry spell.  The curse of the word 'luck' in relation to blocks.

Immediately after being like, wth, I look at the Block History and see we just made a solve.

Not really.  It wasn't even 3 hours between the blocks.  The entire network regularly (few times a week) has periods of an hour or more without a block.  That's why variance is still a consideration when you're a huge amount of hash power.  A bad luck streak can drastically impact your earnings during a difficulty.

Couldnt you just mitigate your losses by having half your rig mine PPLNS and have other half do PPS?

Also, with the price rising like it has been, you're still making about the same when mining less BTC overall.

There was a brief restart to some of the Stratum servers.  Each server had about 2-3 seconds of downtime to deploy a patch that aims at helping detect and remove botnet miners from the Stratum interface.  I've recently discovered two accounts that appear to have been spreading a cgminer/bfgminer bot using the Stratum servers.

I did 50-50 but thats not the problem and you are right about the price rise sofar so good but in 2 -3 months i guess asics will get deliverd or asicminer gets 12 th then i think about stop mining and start trading BTC orso...

Im so freaking happy that the ASIC's came to BTCGuild and not someplace like 50btc
It'd be Sweet if they ran on P2Pool, But im pretty sure theres issues with that right now, Also, P2Pool is a BITCH to setup

I don't know if it was coincidence or not, but soon after that I lost again percent of hashing speed and had to move on 50btc and getwork.
You sure you botnet detector is behaving? I'm also fan of paranoid security, btw..
