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

[eleuthria]

Update on the payouts:

BTC Guild is keeping the full precision payouts enabled going forward.  We are not going to continue protecting people that have not yet updated their Bitcoin clients.  Either a few people lose money because of their personal mistake, or the pool ends up keeping the money.  This way the burden is shifted to the user and nobody can say I'm holding their subcents hostage.  There is still a 0.01 minimum to request your balance to be paid out.

Same stats for last 3-4h

Yeah, we had a thunderstorm at the house (I'm at work) and we've had no power for ~12hrs, but my stats say:

"Worker Name Worker Speed Round Shares (Stales) Last Share
xxxxx 0.00 0 (0)
xxxxx 0.00 251 (2) 5:11:13
xxxxx 0.00 190 (1) 5:11:32
xxxxx 0.00 124 (1) 0:16:41"

When the current round is only ~14mins old. It may be just a display issue? I have "estimated" rewards for this round, too, even though I know my rigs are down and haven't submiited a share in ~12hrs. The block stats page is correctly showing that I submitted no work during the found blocks.

Should be fixed now.  The table was running a replace query to update stats.  It should have wiped the table and rebuilt it on each update to clear out old data.

.01 minimum but .0005 fee? or is the fee .01?

The pool pays transaction fees, not the users.  Transaction fees are currently enabled to speed up payouts while the pool recovers its speed.  Once our speed has recovered I will disable the pool paying txfees and the payouts will be confirmed by the pool if nobody else includes them.

Nice job on getting the servers back up. 

Our last 7 rounds have been quicker than expected at this difficulty.  Looks like I pointed my miners back to the pool at the right time.

Thanks for all of your hard work.

When will the option of automatic payouts be deployed?
Automatism is the key. A manual payout is as awkward as having an API and be forced to shove coal into the engine.

Thank you! I know its not much, but it just feels better to get a payout and see everything is paid.

[Bobnova]

I agree, full precision is very nice.
Thanks for the hard work Eleuthria, it's appreciated!

Eleuthria, I've been pointing a little over 5 GHash/s at US Central for over 24 hours with zero issues and <1% stales. Great job on getting this pool operational again after the DDoS. That which does not kill you makes you stronger right? Thank you for all your hard work.

I want them in this weekend (we've all hard that before).  The DDoS and bitcoind patches before that really set my schedule behind, but I think I'm close to getting back on track.

I'm new to the pool, only been here a few days but i vary much like how you run things, i don't think anyone could ask for more and probably shouldn't love that stats pages

[bmgjet]

Whats the highest donation any one is using %?
Thinking of turning my donation % up to 50% for the day as a thank you for getting the servers back up.

[eleuthria]

We actually have a number of people donating VERY high amounts, some even going as high as 100% for a few rounds.  Thank you ALL very much for your support, I had no idea that many of you were serious about upping your donations once we came back online.

[bmgjet]

Bumped it up to 50%

[CyberPhunk]

Not sure what you are doing at the moment, think you are working on the worker stats, but my share totals just went BACKWARDS for both of my workers by about 50 shares total! Within the same block, still going as I type this.

[eleuthria]

Awknet server (which runs the website) is having some connectivity issues for some people.  Pools are still working absolutely fine.  Info on my account page may be showing incorrect stats due to sync issues during the connectivity troubles.



UPDATE:  Seems to be back in order.

[kjj]

I'm not the biggest miner around by any stretch of the imagination, but I've bumped up from 0.50% to 50.0% for a while.

I use the flex mining proxy, so I don't lose any work, but I'm always happy to wake up finding that my miners have been here all night instead of elsewhere.

[zerokwel]

Damm I feel tight now for only donating 5%...
