happy newyear miners 

Happy new year! Hopefully we'll see the BTC price go in a different direction this year.

Room for one more?

There's always room for one more. Welcome to the pool!

That's almost as LUCKY as you may see, that's 1 in 417 LUCK.

Actually, what happened is 3 times LESS possible than having your car stolen this year! :-)

Happy new year! :-)

Be careful out there. 

But yeah, that was lucky. Good start on the new year.

Has a decision been made on what's going to replace the Google OpenID login?

Yah, but we're rolling the dice all day every day, it's like pointing to a string of sixes and saying those were unlikely.

Pop quiz, you roll 6, 9 times in a row (Standard 6 sided die) what is the probability of the next roll being 6?

Reminds me of a song Once in a Lifetime By Talking Heads

Same as it ever was...1/6

realy?
Why shall it be replaced
Doc?
I have a side question also. It might be answered already but I missed it.
When I login in shifts I see

Completed   Duration   Difficulty   Pay/Hour at 1 TH/s   Total Thps   Your Ghps   Your work

Why some times there are zeros at at 1 TH/s?

Thanks doc
Ps I am mining non stop here

Has a decision been made on what's going to replace the Google OpenID login?

Google OpenID Connect will take over for Google OpenID 2.0. So you won't notice much, I'll just update the website a bit.

But I'm wondering if I should support OpenID Connect in general or begin slowly phasing it out in favor of user name and password (with support for 2-factor auth).

Why some times there are zeros at at 1 TH/s?

When a block is found the last 10 shifts get paid. This means that if it takes a short time to find blocks some shifts get paid many times. If it takes a long time some shifts don't get paid at all.

If you mine 24/7 this doesn't matter, 1% of the pool hashrate still gets you 1% of the coins.

If you keep coming and going the short shifts we have now means you could get zero pay or extremely high pay for a couple hours of mining, and then you leave again. So since the shifts were made shorter the luck element is now stronger for part time miners. I understand some people mine part time, for instance if your electricity price changes depending on the time of day. I will make the shifts longer once we have a larger portion of the global hashrate again. They were made shorter so that it won't take a whole week from you do an hour of mining until it is out of the last 10 shifts and fully paid.

Deleted my previous post but our latest block was still processing after 28 mins... and it's Stale.

I feel like grumpy schtroumpf when we hit a stale block !

Low luck is really annoying, I got my first S3 last week dramatically increasing my hashrate from 12Gh/s to 450Gh/s... Still waiting to get a payout.

We made it ! As the usual

Congrats on your S3 !

Now all we need is a break on the difficulty. I really think there are too many people using their miners as heaters.

Has there been hashing power dips in relation to the price on the pool?

The hashrate didn't really move since like 2-3 months.

We go up a bit when we hit a new block or when we have some good luck otherweise we pretty much stand between 1650-1800 TH.

Just changed to red underwear so we can finish this block.

[btcshiner]

Seems the red underwear tricked worked!  Got to love the tried and true methods.
