[eleuthria]

Website is running extremely slow, but is not down.  Looking into what is happening to cause it to slow down so much.

Rebooting the website machine now.  I've made a few config tweaks to apache2 and also some kernel settings.  Hopefully the site should be back to normal once it finishes restarting.

UPDATE: So far things are looking good!
UPDATE2:  One more swift reboot and now things are looking much better!

There was an error updating the database. Please try again after a few seconds.

i cannot setup automatic payments due to this. all other fucntiosn work but when putting 0.01 i get this error since over 24h.

Oh, so Stratum now works over port 80?
No?
Then that's why I A) remain on getwork and B) use Bitminter to begin with.

When Stratum works over port 80 I will A) celebrate because all my miners are updated cgminer anyhow and i can just drop the port specification and B) remain on Bitminter.

Not sure what your point(s) are, but why wouldn't stratum work on port 80?  Of course it does.  Or I may be missing your point(s)?

@eleuthria... I now found that stratum allows merged mining. Judging from this site: http://dustcoin.com/mining merged mining would now result in around 7% more income when merge mining other coins together with bitcoins. Yesterday it was 9%. And a week ago NMC alone was 13%. That is because of the rising exchange price of bitcoins.
So i wonder why merged mining isnt enabled. It would bring way more extra money than the transaction fees of bitcoin gives. And this by mining the same amount of bitcoins plus other coins on top.

If BTC Guild will never merge mine... what pools allow stratum merge mining with as many other coins as possible?

Currently automatic payouts are only allowed in 0.10 intervals.  Looking at changing this shortly.

Very well then, what is the port 80 address to point my stratum capable miners to?

[eleuthria]

1) Automatic payouts are now available in 0.0x intervals.
2) Port 80 stratum may happen, but is not currently planned (the majority of port 80 mining is done by botnets, there are very few legit reasons for miners to require port 80)
3) I have no plans to add merged mining to my Stratum code.  Nothing about any new protocol prohibits merged mining.  However, I would have to do significant research to figure out how to build proper merged mining coinbases, and then rely on running namecoind on the nodes.  That's just yet another point of failure.  NMC is only worth something right now because somebody spent ~50 BTC a few weeks ago to Pump & Dump the price.  It has no future.

I was talking about the Stratum protocol and not BTCGild per se.

Pool is down!, Website is down!, Just happended about 3 mintues ago, Whats happening?

Edit:Stratum pool is working again, Website still down

Code:

[2013-04-11 09:45:27] Accepted 071329ad Diff 36/1 GPU 0 pool 0
[2013-04-11 09:46:52] Stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted
[2013-04-11 09:46:52] Lost 6 shares due to stratum disconnect on pool 0
[2013-04-11 09:46:52] Pool 0 stratum share submission failure

Edit:2 Down again!
Edit:3 And its up along with the website!
Edit:4 I think Eleuthria was doing something to "boot off" miners, Like turning off getwork, But messed up a littlebit while doing so, We're at 20gh
Edit:5 Seems like a DDoS
Edit:6 Eleuthria came online and fixed the damage

[Aseras]

A ping to the eu-stratum has 95% losses.

[DrG]

Same here.  My stratum.btcguild.com connections are all mining, but not a single one is showing shares on the dashboard.  Hopefully the work is being logged

[BitMinerN8]

I'll bet it's a DDoS of sorts, I'm sure he's working on it and will update soon.
