Due to the fact that on occasion, recently, people have pointed a sizeable collection of computers at the web server trying to login hundreds of times a minute, and done that for a number of days, I changed a setting to ban you faster if you make a mistake repeatedly.
Thus it picks up normal users making mistakes, a little more often than before, but also picks up these annoyances with their baby-botnets very quickly.

Is there a way to increase the amount of time you stay logged in?   Like make it ask you for your username/password once a day?  Or stay logged in forever?

What data are you trying to get? The API can provide just about everything and you don't need to be logged in as long as you have your API key.

You guys can always PM Kano.  He can unlock your account for you if he's awake.  What's with the rash of account lockouts lately?

I use a page reload add-on, set to every 5 minutes, on the blocks page
There's one for firefox and chrome, so I guess probably for anything else anyone uses.

Obviously this is my desktop. There's not much point doing that on a phone or tablet though.

I just like refreshing my https://kano.is/index.php?k=usperf every couple of hours.  However, it seems when you don't do anything on the website, your login times out after a period of time.   I was just thinking it would reduce the number of logins if it had a longer session length.

I did generate an API key.  Is there a guide to using the API somewhere I missed?

Thanks!

Guys, does pool always include own transactions pending in mempool in the next block ?

[firetreeactual]

Does anyone use any APC surge protection on the miners? Thunderstorm knocked 9 of my miners offline and i'd like to prevent it.

I had this very same question in another thread and it was recommended to be using a surge protector for this very reason. I will be looking into them also.

When I had my 220v line put in for my miners, I had them install a whole house surge protector in the panel.  It cost about $300, but it protects everything in the house.

edit: however, it only protects from spikes outside the house, it does not protect against surges that happen inside the house.

I run a Tripplite LC1800 line conditioner on each of my psu's at home. Saves a lot of grief.

Hmm .... seem to have had a failover to my 2nd backup pool (Slush) about an hour and a half back - any issues with the nodes? I have jp and nl configured as primary and backup.

Yeah the JP node had a brief failover but an immediate failback at 20:23 UTC
The network disconnect was only a few seconds, but bmminer and others wait 5 minutes to reconnect.

NL hasn't had a disconnect for quite a while - so it should have failed over to NL without issue.

Payout transactions - Yes - see Help->Payouts

I guess it's just the behavior of S9's bmminer then - failed over to NL, after 4.5 minutes went to Slush long enough to make me 0.00004 BTC and then bounced back to JP

I'll believe it when they prove it. A picture of a PCB with some components and chips doesn't show they actually work.

Good to have you back, the water's great! 
Mine on!

That would account for the higher rate of lockouts! I'd better be careful logging in!

My first login attempt will always fail, no matter how slow and careful I type my password. The second attempt will always login. I've tried this numerous times with the same results and just live with it.

This only happens on mobile, btw. First attempt works every time from PC.

My hosting facility finally completed their expansion and got my new miners up and running. Raised my hashrate from 165TH/s to up to 270TH/s.  

Hopefully they can find room for the other 4 I have on order, or I'll have to replace my E9's and move em back into the garage.
