when are we going to get rewards for the 2 completed blocks?

Just came back on to BTC Guild. Excellent work, Eleuthria!

Is using btcguild.com by itself okay for the host on the miners? Or is it better to select a specific server?
Using generic btcguild.com is fine for now. Once the new server is up that will be pointing to a fully load balanced server. Until then it points to US East.

Miner stats for the current round have been added. Page load time is nearly instant thanks to loading all the information from the local server instead of opening connections to the remote servers. Stats cache is updated every minute.
I will be restoring most of the My Account functionality over the next few hours, and prettying up the page to its former glory.

Approximately when will the miner stats be up?
Working on the caching code right now. Stats should be up in the next hour.
UPDATE: Just had a small disconnect on US East. This was not an attack. I ran a bad query for caching the worker stats which locked up the tables.

Good to see some pools back on line, Just switched my miners back over from deepbit.
Long live BTC Guild.

The past shares on US East were lost in the transition.
Well.... shit.
Any idea how much BTC was lost because of that? I had my miners half and half on you/deepbit during the DDoS and I know they were definately mining for several hours.
The servers were completely unstable for the majority of the past 72 hours. Our record uptime on a server was about 1 hour. Given we didn't find any blocks during the DDoS, no BTC was "lost" exactly, but it certainly was a lot we weren't able to generate.
The total shares lost were (around) 1.5 million, or one block worth assuming average luck. Given 72 hours of downtime, "one block" of lost data is preferable to another few hours of downtime.

I have a question: if you had a couple mining rigs that have been running unchanged during this whole ddos attack, will you get credit for the mining they did or did none of it actually happen/count?
Unfortunately, the limited ups/downs during the attack did not count towards the round we finished after finally coming back online (Round #1464).
Here's what makes me mad about botnets; the IPs of the bots are known but there is no law to stop them. Where is the darn X strikes and you're out rule for THOSE machines when it comes to breaking the law? ISPs should be able to suspend their access and tell the account owner what happened. Everybody wins, but there are any lobbyists bribing politicians to pass legislation to force this to happen so we have a crime (ddos attack) with a way to stop it (shut off the bots' access) that isn't used.

I'm just happy BTCGuild is operational again, I miss the stats and such but simply being able to connect and mine is the important part.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Current priorities with the pool:
1) Restore full account settings functionality (email address changing, donation percent changing)
2) Restore worker stats summary (will be using cached values, updated at 5 minute intervals)
3) Restore API functionality
All of this will be interweaved with getting the new server online.

We just solved a block, servers are still going strong. Still hoping to get our new "super server" online tonight with the internal load balancing and behind a far stronger ISP/pipe.

no, you don't get more "chances"... your daily income will approach the same value in the long run.
yes, I do get more chances. in an hour I could be in search of x amount of blocks. if I was in an other pool that was half as fast I would be in maybe x/2 searches. my daily income has gone up; I get what you're saying, but the theory isn't proving itself in my case.think about everytime you start a block, you flip a coin. if its heads, your search time is low; and tail, its high. 10 flips every hour will probably get you more heads than 5 flips per hour.
Except that there is no block, you aren't searching, and there isn't a coin toss.
Each hash you perform has a 1 in 6*10^15 chance of being successful. The end.

Yeah, but the outcome for everyone in the pool is the same, more flips per hour, ultimately means more people to share with... Thats the whole point.
Of course your daily income might have gone up for now, but in the long run you earn exactly as much as you would by mining without a pool or in a 1Thash pool...
