[~1000 GH/sec] BTC Guild - 0% Fee Pool, LP, SSL, Full Precision, and More

[eleuthria]

I think you should create an irc channel if you haven't already, haven't seen many pools that have one. It's probably because I'm almost always on irc I would like one

I'll add setting up an official IRC channel to the list of things to do.  Along with forum signature bars similar to deepbit's.

[Nythain]

both are awesome ideas... mostly because i love irc, and forum sig bars are just really really fun

[eleuthria]

Any preferences on specific IRC network, or should I just setup my own as irc.btcguild.com ?

Also, we're now at almost 12 hours since the server fix this morning, no crashes since, and stales/invalids are very low (~0.2%).  So those who moved off during the initial hiccups are encouraged to come back and try it again .

I would go with irc.freenode.net because of the nickserv & chanserv. I've had a few channels myself there for the software i developed a few years ago for the wii

Hi, nice pool . Currently working on a gadget to monitor workers, I will post some screenshots later and the source once its working properly.

Kudos on the new pool!  The web design is excellent, best I've seen of the pools so far (though I haven't seen every pool, only: slush's, deepbit, bitcoinpool, luke-jr's, and only the front page of BTCMine).

Features are absolutely how to separate yourself from the pool-pack, keep up the great work.  I wholly approve of offering "premium" services.

If you haven't already, you might want to consider open sourcing your pool/site code so your community can help you maintain, fix, and add features.

+1 for irc.freenode.net
It's also home to the official bitcoin channels: #bitcoin, #bitcoin-dev, #bitcoin-otc, et cetera, etc.

Hope to join you in #bitcoin-pool-name-here soon!

I would want a signature bar to replace my deep bit one, can't wait =D

#btcguild has been registered on irc.freenode.net .  I'll try to keep a regular presence in there when I'm available.  Back to working on the email password recovery option and signature bars.

I just noticed that the round duration in the pool statistics portion of the web site is completely wrong.
You might want to fix that  

Edit: it is about 17 hours off.

We successfully made a block but it was orphaned by the block chain.  Wasn't able to test how this would turn up in the logs, so I'm now working on the code to allocate the reward as if it were successful, thus making the instant payout still available to 2.5%+ donating members.

For those who are paranoid, this is the result from bitcoind:
    {
        "account" : "",
        "category" : "orphan",
        "amount" : 50.03000000,
        "confirmations" : 0,
        "txid" : "6b84456dfc2f085e710c7f94c8e37ba536f92f45bc3568a7d32e0b3af590bac7",
        "time" : 1305161342
    },
and the solution for the share submitted was: 00000001e60eb3cfc9046b35d39d2aa0d08fffc2499274c050ce4b5e0000601f00000000a2142da 369a1359654fbd8e6abc3405cf81097971b0a965e12d71e09fe8cd0b34dcb2e7e1a6a93b318dacf 1700000080000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000080020000

Aw, that sucks 

[MrGaSp]

We were soo close =P

Have my 2 5970's on here for a bit...

Small bug fix for ya - Changing worker login erases shares submitted - that just caused me about .25 BTC 

[TehZomB]

I'll switch over once my new card arrives later this week! Can't wait

And at that point I'll also hop over on IRC... I used to love IRC, but haven't found time for it lately... hmm :/

Bug will be fixed very soon.  Send me a PM with the old worker name and I'll move the shares over for you manually.

[MrGaSp]

Anyone else having connect/worker idle issues in the last few minutes?

[eleuthria]

RPC error was due to a database lock, related to making invalid shares tracked in statistics so they don't go unnoticed.  Needed to allow negative block #s so the block #'s won't conflict with real valid blocks in the chain.

If you're looking at your estimated rewards, they may be jumping a bit right now as the invalid block shares are being allocated.

You may also be receiving a few more stales over the next 10 minutes (not HUGE, just above normal, 1-2% range) as the invalid tracking is added.

[MrGaSp]

Shares accepting again, ty

[DareC]

Looks like our latest block is invalid/orphaned, but I still got a reward. Is that expected behaviour?

Yes.  As a 2.5%+ donator, you are insured against invalid blocks at this time.
