Giving it a try...

What's with the income from transactions? (7 Bitcents currently from the 2 blocks so far)

Maybe list it as well in the payout history stats, even if you keep 100% of it.

Transaction fees are currently kept by the pool, which is the only "reliable" income generated by the pool.  To my knowledge no pool splits transaction fees among the miners at this time (correct me if I'm wrong!).  Once transaction fees are more common, and the BTC generated by blocks shrinks, they will get included with the total block split among the pool.  I'm working on setting up the conditions for when that switch will take place.

This is great. I don't know of any other pool that is being transparent about transaction fees, yet. It is not important right now but it is good to know the operator recognises this up front what may eventuate, it will avoid future crap fights, bad feelings.

One more question will your server allow ping testing ...

Code:
$ ping btcguild.com
PING btcguild.com (74.95.106.214) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- btcguild.com ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6646ms

 it doesn't seem to right now and I like to know how 'far' away from the pool I am .... in case comms needs to be considered for trouble shooting.

Thanks!  Might want to flip flop This Round and Since Reset columns to go from smallest to largest.  Just a layout thing, no technical reason to do it that way, other than it soothes the brain. Smiley

Will update that tomorrow evening.  Since the "Since Reset" can be done at any time, there is no guarantee that "This Round" will be more or less than "Since Reset".  I'll have to move the calculations to be prepared before printing (right now the calculations are done and printed into the table as generated), then order them based on which was larger.

The API is now active for "My Account" information.  You can find your API key and the URL in "My API Settings".  "My Workers" information will be added in the next few minutes.  Tomorrow there will be a configuration screen on "My API Settings" to configure what data you want to include.

Miners are idle.  Issues?

Yeah, just because it is a few magnitudes higher than any other reliable income from that pool and wasn't mentioned yet! Wink

Maybe you could list them more openly, similar to donations or something?
So people already get used to the thought that 1 block is more than just 50/25/12,5... BTC, but also some additional coins here and there.

("Bitcoin earned" additionally to "generated" maybe? Miners do a service to the whole money transfer system too after all...)

Transaction fees have been added for the additional transparency.

Yeah, back up now.  A reset all button for in addition to the reset individual workers would be handy as well.

Reset All button added to workers.

Email/SMS notification of a stuck miner would be a good addition as well.

This is a big reason why I use the pools I use. Email is fine, my phone can take care of the rest.

I will get that implemented this weekend.  I was avoiding collecting emails in registration since I know how paranoid some members of our community are Smiley.  I will add an email option for password recovery and also notifications of workers that haven't sent a share within a given time frame.  For SMS, I will have to do some research (I hate SMS personally, so I never experimented with web interfaces to SMS).

For SMS, you can just send an email to "phone number"@carrier.email.com  Not exactly sure what the carrier email names are, but it's on the the internet.  Basically you can just have users enter a phone number, and select their network, and you're system sends them an email that they get as an SMS.  Much easier than mucking around with an SMS server.

Server seems down?  Getting problems communicating with RPC.

Ability to remove a worker would be a good thing, as well.

Pool was down for about 3 minutes while I added some extra information to the shares database to speed up the calculations.  Should be back up and running, and now the website's update each minute runs significantly faster and reducing the load of the JSON script.

There may be a few more RPC communication errors tonight, but they will be very short term (< 10 seconds).

Wow,  Your quick on the improvements.   

Working full blast on features now that the basic function is nailed down.  JSON API should be coming up in the next 2 hours giving JSON access to all the stats currently visible on the site.

Wow,  Your quick on the improvements.      I've changed my donation to 3%.

I'd love to see a "Dashboard" page that would be a combo of account page (est payout exc), worker stat page and found block history.  That would be cool.

Nice, thanks and fast work!  Smiley

It would also be nice to have a total down at the bottom of the columns and a MH/s column added as well.  Email/SMS notification of a stuck miner would be a good addition as well.

Worker speeds are now listed (estimated over a 15 minute window, updated once per minute), and the total for all workers is shown.

Signed up. I like the site as it's very simple and fast so far. I hope you get more miners joining you.

Keep up the good work!

Giving you 2 GH... but I really need a way to reset the mining data of my miners.  An extra field for round shares that I can reset, in addition to the total would be good.  It's helpful to keep an eye on which miner(s) might be throttling for some reason.


Suggestion noted and implemented.  There is now a third column for shares & stales since reset.

I'll join you for a few blocks and contribute 200 Mh/s.

I like your site.  Looks nice.


Thank you very much.  My self esteem is now inflated regarding my poor graphic design skills Smiley.
