[CLOSED] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+NMC, Stratum, VarDiff, Private Servers

[STT]

I wonder if the people attacking are script-kiddies or more organised Russia/China gangs.  Im not sure if BTC is big enough yet to attract attentions of 'professional' thieves

USPS shipping is not cheap when looking at international orders that include tracking.

Many moons ago I had a ti4200 shipped -literally surface mail from Colorado, USA to UK.  Sent by a gallery selling Van Goch's bizarrely, it started out end of Sept and arrived just before Xmas.     What will customs make of Value: 1 BTC

US Stratum appears to be under attack.  I'm working on routing DNS around it ASAP.

UPDATE:  Attack appears to not have been targeted specifically at BTC Guild's servers.  Everything is up and running normally from what I can see.  Let me know if you're having problems.  The new colocation project is still in process, which should provide higher quality connections and 100% uptime outside of targeted attacks, hopefully within the next month.

i linked you guys up to satoshis' other website think we find these ASICMINER reps have gone mia...thanks

No blocks found for these rounds!?

I have a 24 hour earning reduction of over 50% for 3 or 4 days now  

Yeah I know, luck is luck, but this seems to be that BTC Guild subscribed bad luck at the moment.

No.

I just chuckle, the average for this diff is still > 100%.  No one complains when luck is exceptionally good.  Just when it starts to average out.

Except I wasn't mining here during the lucky days. . Came from Slush's to try a different pool.  Sour taste in mouth about my decision.

[STT]

Slush has 55% luck right now, think they are worse off for today anyhow

This pool lets people switch from luck to pps really easy, I do that instead though I wish difficulty never rose.   I guess it had to rise to keep BTC high and stable

Bitcoin more than made up for last week's losses, gaining 18.8% to close at 2.67 g. Trading volume was light this week, averaging only 73 kg per day.

Although all the government currencies were strong this week, the Japanese Yen and the USD traded places, with the JPY up "only" 4.5% while the USD led the pack rising 7.4% and ending the week a stunning 51% above it's half-life curve

  I was hoping prices would rise dramatically again, this professor measures all prices in gold and he even comments on BTC prices http://pricedingold.com/

It all evens out.

However, variance is directly proportional to difficulty and indirectly proportional to pool hash rate.  So, if pool hash rate doesn't increase with difficulty, variance will increase.  Even on a pool as big as BTCG.

The website news section has been updated with the estimated international shipping costs.  Those prices are not final, but are likely what the costs will be.  I do have a friend that may end up shipping EU based orders out from the UK to reduce the costs slightly on small orders, but that is not finalized and is not something you should plan on.

Orders are still expected to go live on Friday, June 28th for the US based orders.  Estimated time is between 6 and 7 PM (PDT).  The orders will go live even if the first batch is not arriving until Monday.  The checkout page will inform you of the current inventory status, including your place in line, and the ETA for units to arrive in stock to fulfill your order.

You can always switch .  With ASICMINER gone the 51% threat is -long- gone from BTC Guild.

Yeah, but thing's have been good on Slushy's pool. It wouldn't be right to abandon him just to buy one ASICminer(thats all the BTC i have). I'm just sick of paying crazy stupid eBay prices.

There's nothing preventing you from buying one on BTC Guild.  It requires a registration which is quite painless.  Would love if you stuck around or at least used the USB ASIC on Guild, but no gun to your head .


Additional update

Since I've had a few people message me who were burned in the past by database leaks of their home address on other Bitcoin sites, I wanted to make my data retention policy clear.

All orders will be kept in the database until the package is shipped, plus two weeks so you can reference the full order.  After that time, the database will retain the order information/tracking number, but not the address information.  However, paper files will be kept for all shipped packages.

Good deal.  I wish you'd posted this about 12 hours ago.  I already put my BTC in another order, and from the looks of it, I'd get it quicker on this one.

It's been announced for almost a week , 2 days ago on the Guild website.  However, it might not be faster.  There's really no way to accurately gauge demand.  I feel like I have enough on order that I should be able to fill any weekend orders within one week, but that could easily change if a few people order 20-30 of them each.  I'm working very hard behind the scenes to organize my shipping line and inventory management to make this as smooth and professional as possible.  Just received 500 bubble padded mailers, and I have 100 various sized flat rate boxes arriving tomorrow (plus about 30 already on hand).

I know it was announced, but I somehow missed the fact that you have an order arriving on Monday.  That changes EVERYTHING.

BTW, I really like the websites layout and options.  Also, I think there are additional values in the API that I'm not currently capturing in my pool monitor, I'll intend to add them soon.

You don't need to abandon anyone.  You do need more than one pool in your list for failover purposes so join BTCGuild and add it to your list.

8PM PST?!?

That's like 11p here on the east coast.

I'm going to call a grievance meeting at the rec center.
