Hi!
Make you shure what username is right. If you've changed worker name after registation,  you need need to use it as login in your miner.
If that does not help , you always can wright to our support from your pool's account!

Yes, was a simple misunderstanding: I bealive that the "Short name" was usable in the connection string too, without use the e-mail prefix.
Now works!

Great! now I can use the office pc too! ;-)

BTC 50 Rulez!

50btc,

I'm wondering how its looking for stratum support with vardiff or settable difficulty.

Thanks

[50BTC.com]

Settable share difficulty will be introduced very soon, and then we will implement the stratum protocol.

[50BTC.com]

We are glad to announce new 50BTC pool feature: User defined difficulty
Now  it is possible to choose share difficulty manually for each worker.

[celkaris]

We have some news.

First, we are glad to announce that our new pool-server is put into production - pool80.50btc.com, it's using port 80 for the Getwork and port 443 for the LP.
Server located in France.

Hi my friends!
i'm trying to connect @ pool80 but i fail.

I want to use pool80.50btc.com because my test-pc is behind a firewall  with the 8332 port close.

my connection string is the follow (with Ufasoft client):

coin-miner.exe  -o http://pool80.50btc.com:80 -u myusername

but I receive an
 
HTTP 403: fordibben

error.
Can you show me some right connection string?
My firewall permit the access on the 80 & 443 port. I need for other ports?

thank you for your help!

Same here, now got http 403 error for 3h10mins now.
(not a single work obtained, althought this miner mined for months with no settings update here).

that is using http://pool.50btc.com:8332

ztex_ufm1_xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx-1: Error: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://pool.50btc.com:8332: Disabling URL http://pool.50btc.com:8332 for 60s

celkaris, Same advice - make you shure what username in miner is right. If it won't help - wright to our support from your account for detailed investigation.

At the moment, the pool is under DDoS attack. We do our best to restore functionality as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, there was an internal connectivity issue on the data-center side.
There were about 90% packets lost on one of the nodes.
At the moment all the issues are fixed, servers are up and running.

hello,

i noticed last year in November someone asked if you will be supporting stratum mining, do you have an update on that?

[FreedomCoin]

today, 20:01
ASIC miners are wellcome!
We are proud to announce STRATUM-protocol support at 50btc.com. STRATUM will dramatically reduce amount of the rejected shares since your miner will receive new jobs from the mining-pool automatically.
Advantages of the new protocol will be especially appreciated by the high-speed ASIC miner owners.
In additions we’ve upgraded blocks to version 2 based on bitcoin community requests

Question: what is the host name to use stratum?

[aTg]

It is normal after this error on your part, not getting paid all my mining shares sent correctly?
It's my fault your software failures?

If your miner have stratum support it will be automatically redirected, however you can connect manually, just change port to 3333. Stratum support was added on all of our pool-servers.

This issuie was caused by old version of ZTEX miner, it's have troubles this variable share difficulty. After you ve changed share difficulty to 64 on pool, your miner continued to generate shares with diff=1. All shares with diff>64 were paid correctly, the remaining 98% were rejected by pool-server.

As far as I'm aware, BTCMiner (all versions) does not support diff > 1.  So it ignores the difficulty field sent by the pool and just sends anything that is at least diff=1.  It doesn't hurt you, other than meaning setting yourself at higher difficulties serves no purpose.  Using ztex FPGAs through another mining client (like cgminer or bfgminer) fixes this problem.

Statistik dont work. But mining work.

[50BTC.com]

At the moment worker data and balances may be displayed with delays due to maintenance at the data center. There's nothing wrong with the pool though, every share is counted. Site operation will return to normal very soon.

[50BTC.com]

We are currently working on improving the infrastructure of the pool - Stratum protocol and GBT. And almost done with this.
