can we do merged mining at btcguild? Can't find the instructions.
No instructions are needed. All BTC Guild servers participate in merged mining. If you want to view NMC rewards, the option is in the Settings page.

I'm planning to add a CSV export to PPLNS stats shortly. As of right now the full history of all shifts is still part of the database, but only 300 (was 200) shifts are loaded. You can still scroll back to the detail view of any shift when you click 'View Details'. In the future I will likely perform some kind of consolidation in order to compact the size of the PPLNS history database table.
I'm looking forward to the CSV export. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Working on the auto-CSV generator now. Expecting that tomorrow your Settings page will have CSV download options for Payouts, PPS Earnings, and PPLNS Earnings.

The pool is finding roughly 1 in 3 NMC blocks. That is what is expected when the pool's hash rate is roughly 1/3rd that of the NMC network. There is no bug in the assignment of NMC either, I can clearly see that 97% of NMC block rewards have been assigned to miners. My only thought is maybe BitMinter only allocates NMC to miners that have NMC wallets set?
No, we pay out NMC to all active miners, regardless of having set an NMC address or not.

Cloudflare under attack mode is being turned on. Additionally, the web server is about to be restarted, so the frontend will not be accessible for 1-2 minutes.
EDIT: Back online. Under attack mode still enabled for a little while longer, so some API programs that haven't been whitelisted will not be able to update stats (generally happens when it's a phone app and you're on a cell network IP).

Where are we on redistribution of PPS NMC? And how can I get NMC out. If I set auto payout I can get only the amount set per hour but not all that is in the accaunt. And I can't set auto payout to exact number of NMC...

As I stated in the beginning, NMC support is not even close to a priority. For now automatic payouts will continue to be the only method to withdraw in order to avoid heavily fragmenting the wallet. Namecoin's code is ancient and lacks a significant number of optimizations that have been added to Bitcoin over the last two years. You will likely never see amounts under 0.01 NMC available for payout. NMC's transaction fees are higher than BTC for sending small amounts.

Payout History and PPS Earnings History are now available as CSV Exports at the bottom of your Settings page. PPLNS CSV History will be available shortly.

264 NMC to earn a BTC. Its going to take a while. NMC may run up in line with BTC due to its reliance on alternate economy it does seem it'll require its own lookup system eventually, ie. I presume its usage will increase and so too worth dramatically. On that basis I think its best left unconverted

Uh, sure, increasing the quantity of something always increases its value?!? Ever hear of supply and demand?

I was talking about the demand. If NMC is useful, it'll rise more then expected. Just like BTC, who predicted it would rise so much

Sorry that the site keeps entering attack mode. The person who is trying to break into accounts has tried millions of passwords by now, constantly changing IPs. Recently it looks like he has now figured out how to get past Cloudflare's browser verification from attack mode. Meanwhile, there's another person who is doing nothing but slamming the website with index.php requests in order to slow down the site.
I'm working on moving the API to a different domain name which won't enter the 'under attack mode' today. Users who designed their own API grabbers will be able to quickly change the URL and access the API just fine. Users who downloaded someone else's app will have to request that the app maker update it once the new URL is available.

Lots of small changes going on with the frontend to reduce the impact of the attacks to the website. You may have seen some failed login attempts, blank pages, etc., during the last hour. Going to let things settle down for a while and watch how it works out.
If you created an API application that is distributed to many users without the ability to modify the API URL, please contact me for instructions on how the API will be changed. The old API address will continue to work, but I would like to have you update to a URL that will be accessible even when the website is in attack mode.

Two updates:
1) There was a brief restart on all Stratum servers just now. Total downtime should have been under 30 seconds per server. 2) A new domain has been registered and is being setup for API calls. More info to come once it's ready.
As always when a server is restarted (or crashes), make sure your miners didn't get stuck! They may be on a backup pool and not moving back, or in some cases [especially older stratum proxies] they don't recognize the disconnect at all and end up in limbo til they are restarted.

New features [PPLNS CSV export]/namecoin updates are temporarily on hold. I'm going to be spending the rest of this week working on new database optimizations, as well as implementing some methods to help the future transition to a new database server. Working on expanding the current US-based colocation early next month to improve the reliability and general speed of all pool servers + database server. I will try to post updates in advance if anything is expected to cause the frontend to become unavailable.

I've re-enabled a feature that was turned off a year ago when the pool began sending too many emails and ended up being throttled to the point it was unusable. When changing your email or wallet address from now on, an email will be sent to your current email to confirm the change before it is made active. It still won't solve the most common attack vector (compromised email + password reset request), but it will prevent a keylogger that only grabbed your pool credentials and not your email credentials. Just make sure it isn't the same password on both! btw, where is pool server located for US? my connection isnt great compared to other pools. I'm using stratum.
The servers for 'stratum.btcguild.com' are actually with OVH in Canada now. I've had to diversify in recent months to make DDoS attacks less effective (no single point of failure for all servers like the previous colocation). I'm working on diversifying further with colocation in multiple datacenters. Until recently the pool was not earning enough to pay for multiple colocations, and I had to wait to see if this was going to be another $32-40 bubble followed by another rapid crash before I invested money in buying more hardware and paying the much higher costs to colocate. @eleuthria, Slush lost at least 600 BTC from his hot wallet due to what was apparently an attack by an insider at OVH. I'd seriously consider changing away from their hosting. You might want to ask him what HE thinks about OVH these days.
