to get the real advantage of the pool, one would have to go with 32 or higher difficulty shares. With higher diff shares, there is a larger variance for the miner. I believe pools like this will become popular once the higher hashrate hardware makes it onto the scene.
purelithium, there should be plenty of miners with enough power to mine at 64-256 difficulty. Think about all those miners with a minirig, for example. spiccioli.

The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

True, but either they are solomining or already have a history with other pools, and don't want to change? I've always liked the idea of higher diff shares, but I doubt my rigs could chew through them effectively.

spiccioli The pool keeps accepting shares, though. It has accepted six 999-difficulty shares from me in the meantime. I cannot say if it keeps on paying (I'll know it in a few hours).

Sorry about that, I missed that page in the migration to cloudfront. If you try again in a few minutes (make sure to refresh metrics.php) it should work.

I expect they will work fine just cranking the difficulty. From what I've read, the Avalon units are based on a recent cgminer and BFL units (at least the Singles and hot peppers) will be USB so the user can use existing mining software (like cgminer). So I don't expect any problems. If there are problems, I'll be happy to work with miners to solve them. I don't support Stratum yet but if that ends up being needed or a good idea I can see doing that work. I should really check my changes to pushpool into a branch and sync it up to the head sometime soon.

So if I have a 60ghash ASIC I am going to get through the Nonce range in 1/15 secs. So even rolling time forward it is going to need to have 15 getwork connections in parallel?
So although I can pump up the difficulty so do not have to send you too much traffic need a lot of connects to run all the getworks?

Fireduck, since Avalon ASICs have arrived, and I hope BFL won't be far behind, you may need to link your fees to the total network hashrate or even network difficulty as well as pool difficulty. I can't imagine ASIC miners will do anything other than use very high difficulty submissions so your fees may be insufficient to act as a reward buffer.

I had my fiance read about stratum to me in the car on the way home yesterday. She wasn't very pleased about that. Anyways, it sounds like the time rolling wasn't as flexible as I thought it was. I'm looking into spinning up a stratum node now.

AWESOME! You are my planned public pool when BFL delivers almost 2Th to my doorstep. Would like to see you dig out of the deficit that was created before the reward drop...

I am working on my own stratum mining pool implementation in java. I have the stratum side working, which includes getting work to miners and processing the shares. I am working on the bitcoin side of actually making the blocks. If anyone has an pointers on making a two part coinbase transaction in Java (in which I can cram my 8 bytes of extra-nonce), I'd love to hear about it.

It looks like something is wrong with whatever mechanism is calculating the 'owed' amt, http://hhtt.1209k.com/as an example, it says it owes the 3rd user 3 BTC, from 10 hrs of ~3.5ghash possibly giving too much for lower difficulty blocks. My amt seems accurate also http://hhtt.1209k.com/user-details.php?user=14uNqUQNqbKLTFZGGqyR2pgkHeMvUNv9Fmapparently it's actually making the payments, since that one was about 2.5x too high
