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

[Nagios]

Is this something to worry about?

[eleuthria]

No, its related to the Google Ads that show up for people who don't donate.  The AdSense scripts are served over regular HTTP, not HTTPS since they don't have SSL support for AdSense.

Then disable it. Don't compromise the SSL session with stupidity.

I disagree.  You aren't compromising the secured traffic between you and BTC Guild.  Our main webpage has the same error because of a youtube video.  Youtube still hasn't added SSL support.  There are very complex methods to encapsulated a youtube video in your own flash player, but I decided not to spend 10 hours of time programming that because of a silly warning.  Plus, E needs to make money any way he can, his pool is donation only and I'm pretty sure he barely makes a profit after hosting costs.

What I said still applies. Don't include foreign elements on an SSL'ed page. Period.

I shouldn't have to be teaching security 101 to pool owners.

I hope when I hit Report to Moderator it went to the other mod for this subsection and also an Admin per the SMF documentation.

theymos has zero problems with how I moderate this board. If you have a problem with me having a problem with the pool I use having a problem with their security in the face of recent security problems then bring the problem up with theymos, and he will probably have a problem with you. Problem?

It goes to everyone who can moderate this board (all specified moderators, global mods, and admins).  And yea, I've also noticed how DiabloD3 acts like a giant dick whenever you disagree with him or have a conflicting opinion.

[Maged]

What DiabloD3 said is absolutely correct. If you have a non-SSL'd element on you page, you might as well have not used SSL at all. It's that big of a security hole.

Anyone can explain why when I mine on BTCGuild with my 5870@970/300 + 5750@890/300 Phoenix says that my hash rate is 420Mhs +175Mhs = 595Mhs, while my account page on BTCGuild says that I am around 490-500Mhs? Am I being scammed? Thanx

No, the stats shown are estimated from your work submissions.  They are almost always lower than what your local client reports.

You are paid for the number of shares you submit - which, although is somewhat related to your hash rate, there is no exact relationship, only an average expected one.

Simply check that the site share count matches your program's accepted share count (which it should)

Shares are also generated based on luck - on average you should expect to get one share per 4billion hash attempts (2^32) - but a share is equivalent to a block at difficulty=1 - thus the same rules about random probability come into getting a share as for blocks.

The web site does not know your computer hash rate, so it estimates it based on your shares that are submitted - which is sometimes higher and sometimes lower than your actual hash rate.

Watched the new Two and a Half Men and it's back up.  Woohoo!

Just wondering, who has had their password hash's stolen? BTCguild or bitcointalk?

This weekend I will be moving the website to a different server again, changing it from a 2 gig VPS to a dedicated server.  I do not know when it will happen exactly (most likely Saturday evening, PDT).  Similar to the last move, the pools still be working as usual.  The only part going down is the website frontend, meaning you wont be able to access your stats / payouts until the move is complete (1~2 hours).

The move is for two main purposes:  1) Speeding up the website in general, especially when a long round is calculated/sync'd.  2) Making some DB schema changes to eventually allow merging the PPS option into the main pool, rather than running it as a separate pool.

[eleuthria]

Server is being moved if you're seeing the security certificate revoked message.  Revoked our old SSL cert trying to setup a wildcard subdomain so PPS pool could use the same cert.  Should be back up and running shortly.

Server is being moved if you're seeing the security certificate revoked message.  Revoked our old SSL cert since we're changing IPs.  Should be back up and running shortly.

Why would you do that? A cert is attached to a domain name not an IP and can move to a new IP easily.

[eleuthria]

Long story short, I was trying to change our cert so it would work on PPS as well as Proportional, but I'm not using a self-signed cert, and it costs more to add a wildcard subdomain to our cert.  Botched my explanation of why I revoked/rekeyed the cert (its been a long day).  The old server did not have the re-issued SSL cert, since we were moving to a different server.  I didn't expect the move to take as long as it did, ideally nobody would have received any messages about an invalid/revoked certificate.
