Also i have this error trying to update worker's min. difficulty:
"There was an error updating at least 1 Stratum server. Please try again."

Should be clear for reconnecting and reconfiguring workers now.  Was doing some work on the frontend servers which meant restarting a miner (or swapping pools on one) may have encountered problems getting on again.

I am having problems with about 12 to 15 SP31s that are connected to BTC Guild and over the past few hours keep showing that screen like they are waiting for work to be sent.   Have restarted minergate and rebooted them, same thing.      I have a bunch of others that are connecting and mining fine though?

EDIT You must have posted this ^^^ just as I was typing.   I will reboot again.

eleuthria,
What do you recommend for auto payouts?  Is .1 BTC too dusty? or should it be higher?  I don't want too many unexpected fee's when I try to use my BTC.  Just wondering what you thought a good number was.
Thanks,
Sam

My recommendation for auto withdrawals has generally been that if you are mining > 0.1 BTC per 24 hours, you should probably set your minimum withdrawals to your expected 24-hour amount.  It's a little trickier these days since the pool is so much smaller as a percent of the network, so one day of mining can swing quite a bit.  At worst, I recommend setting the automatic withdrawal to 1 week's expected generation,  just to avoid the pool being responsible for your coins.


Obviously it depends on how much BTC you're planning to send in the long run, and how frequently.  General rule of thumb used to be 0.10 BTC could be spent after 10 days of confirmations without a fee (10 Days * 0.1 Bitcoin = 1 Bitcoin Day).  Now if you are combining multiple inputs (sending > 0.1), it gets a little trickier (read the wiki on transaction fees/priority).

I emailed BTCGuild a request 4 days ago and have not received any reply. It is not an urgent issue, so they might be handling other more important emails first. How long does it normally take to get a reply?

Try resending it.  I normally answer support emails in under 24 hours.  Make sure the subject isn't a reply to a confirmation email, I automatically delete those.  I also ignore emails with vague subject lines because I get too many idiots sending me junk to the support address.

Thanks for quick response, eleuthria. I will resend email with a better subject.

Yip I was happy to see my 24h average up after loosing a miner. And a reminder to check your fans clean out the dust, I lost a miner to overheating, well not so much the overheating but shorting the wires when dicking with a temporary fan solution.

Have still not seen anything from you.  If you're sending from your own domain, check your SPF/DKIP records, because they don't even arrive in a spam folder meaning you're getting hard blocked due to bad mail server/dkip/spf settings.

I just moved my miners back to BTCGuild, im happy.

Hey,

          Eleuthria, i sent a support email to btcguild about not being able to set a btc address in my auto-withdrawal. Only sending this off in case my email gets sent to spam. Anyways hope to hear from you!

Thanks!

[myveryown]

I too have this problem - unable to set auto withdraw address in settings for BTC

works fine for namecoin but not bitcoin ...  it says ...

"There wallet address you entered was not a valid Bitcoin address. Please try again."

So seems its a problem ?

[eleuthria]

Will be fixing the "invalid address entered" message shortly.  The web server is being shifted to a different machine and this error is popping up because the migration isn't 100% complete yet.
