Why does math make you so mad?

Because you're a dumbass.

[techgeeks]

I wouldn't say S0br is a dumb ass, I think it is a valid question.  The last 2 very large blocks before this one, Kano mentioned them being flooded with bad packets that might have caused some of the issue.  It certainly is worth looking at, as when he fixed those, the blocks were found quickly.

I would disagree with you on that point.

You're wrong, its not a valid question. s0br came to this thread and made that post in an attempt to suggest that due to bad luck , that there must be something wrong with the pool software. Hours later, the pool solved a block. Do you understand how bitcoin mining works? Yes, it is unlikely to have a few long rounds, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. Do you really think that s0br (or you, yourself) have a better idea of how mining/pool software works than ck and kano, the developers of cgminer? Seriously?

[HellDiverUK]

Well said MrGreenHat.  I couldn't have put it as eloquently.

[techgeeks]

Not going to get in a pissing match, and I really do appreciate all the work pool operators, and CK have put into this eco-system.  If you go back and read all the thread, and cross ref the dates, you will see that even great programmers make mistakes, or evil people try to ruin your day.  Kano, and CK - again, thanks for all the hard work, and time it takes to run the pool.  I've done well here.

I'm moving my miners over.. I'll be under volley   Want the hashrate to stay diversified.. Hopefully, I'll bring some good luck

I've added another section in the opening post:

Transactions
The pool will mine any and all transactions that the standard bitcoind will accept.
The relevant setting I currently use in bitcoin.conf is:
 blockmaxsize=850000
I do not currently change the default on any other of the txn control options, I do not blacklist addresses, I do not prioritise transactions for any companies.
If this should ever change, I will post the full details when I do the change with the reasons why.

Kano, great pool.  Just curious but why only change blockmaxsize and why 850,000?  If it was larger wouldn't we collect more transaction fees?  Or perhaps it is not worth the increased performance needed to handle a larger block max size than that?  Also, what about decreasing mixtxfee or minrelaytxfee to process more transactions and increase transaction fees when a block is found?  Thanks.

Edit: never mind that's an old payment. Must be an old text notification or something....

The default was 750000 so I put it up to 850000 - but that was also on the slower server I started the pool on.

main.h:static const unsigned int DEFAULT_BLOCK_MAX_SIZE = 750000;

I'll prolly put it up to 950000 some time - but of course will say here if/when I do.

Depends if your a southpaw or an orthodox, and then if you can update script with your good hand only or even better still, if you can type with your toes like some extraordinary people out there can.  

Just pointed my miners back to the pool, hope we don't see any more blood red blocks.

[wajiminer]

Can someone tell me what the colors on the blocks mean.. I can guess but figured I'd just ask 

[techgeeks]

Is anyone seeing a payment in yet from the last block that matured? - I am not yet.
