With slush down, I figured I'd swing over here and try out your pool.

So far, so good. I like the clean UI. Also, the lack of 502 gateway errors is a bonus ATM.  Shocked

This may have been asked and already answered, but does anyone know when the email alert feature will be enabled?

BTW, I am new to BTCGuild...and I love the account page so far!

It was going to be in last night, but the server became available and I moved the pool over.  Since then I've been celebrating mostly as the pool is working, going strong, and growing fast again.  The alerts will likely be available late tonight/early tomorrow.

Psi laju, karavani prolaze.
Maybe this will help:

 02:52.20          .•• you are now talking in #btcguild
  02:52.20          .•• the topic is 'The official channel of BTC Guild (www.btcguild.com). We're now on the dedicated server! If you have problems connecting, try mine1.btcguild.com for your miners.'

now that deepbit has been down for over 1hour+ and slush having difficulties there has been a huge increase in traffic to btcguild.  i have switched my miners over there and i'm getting tons of rejected shares and Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle in my phoenix miner.   is this error because of huge increase in traffic that btcguild is having difficulty handling?

Only use your own network to login, and use a wired connection...
HTTPS is of the past.. SSLStrip and its gone

Will signups and interface eventually run through SSL / HTTPS?

Basic security is a must, I don't touch plaintext signups / password and email transfers.

Just a slight correction on the betting numbers, its 0.01 for the payout transaction fee, not 0.1
So winner gets:
Betting Pool Total - 5% (fee kept by bot for service) - 0.01 (payout transaction fee)

Also, its fun and awesome and whats 0.1btc to most of you miners out there!

new server running pretty good for last 4 hours.  Might want to lower 275 Gh/s to 220 Gh/s on front page as it looks like pool is dying due to the upgrade.

Not a pool feature specifically, but Nicksasa of our IRC chatroom (#btcguild on freenode) has a bot which has been used for pool stats and block announcements.  He recently added a betting system where people can bet 0.1 BTC for how many shares our next round will take, winner take all minus 0.01 off the top (transaction fee to send winnings) and a 5% fee from each bet (0.005).

EDIT:  Corrected transaction fee taken off the top (0.01, not 0.1!)

Strange, I didn't yet have problems with that...

Well, if/when I finish my "poolpool"-software, this won't be an issue for me any longer anyways.
You'll finish it Wink, its not that hard to make Smiley
Check if connec problems or 0 MHash, try again if no luck go to next pool.

You mean mining in 2 pools with a single GPU?
Yes, GPUs are heavily multithreaded anyways and miners don't really use much memory, so there is no problem in running more than one mining program on a GPU. If you tune down priority of one pool, it will "failover" to that one, should the main pool have problems.
Lol I just did this and got a bsod :/
LOL, CCC crashed here but fortunately could keep the machine alive and went back to mining within a minute.

He was going to build in miner warnings, so turning that into a system warning for himself wont be hard.
I bet the next hardware change will be flawless. Smiley

I'm talking more about a system that's not on the pool server or even in the same datacenter, running nagios or some other monitoring software that allows it to make requests periodically to the pool to make sure the system is fully functional.  It is not good if you have the pool server also doing the monitoring, because when it goes down it probably won't be able to send the alert  Wink

I know... still assuming that making a warning system after that wont be hard.
Especially since instead of requesting to the pool, he can make the pool send out still-alive packets to his on system or other server, which starts the amazing bells and whistles when no packet has been recieved in 10 minutes Tongue
