Wow, we get an amazing spree of good luck and my shift work is in the toilet due to a DDoS, which leaves me wondering if that is a coincidence or not.

Wow, 4 blocks in a row on the blockchain today. 
Everything should be running smoothly now. If you have issues there are two types of IP based filtering in use. There's a botnet ban list where IPs sit for some time. And then there is the anti ddos which may accidentally filter you along with attackers during an attack. We're working to improve on this. This should only last a few minutes before you can mine again though. If you are unable to mine for hours then you could be on the botnet ban list, or it could be a different issue entirely. In that case use the contact form ("contact" menu) on the website and I'll see if I can figure out what the problem is.
Hehe, this gave me a good laugh. That's exactly what it's like.

Are there still issues? I am trying to connect a stratum pool. It will work for about 10 mins then workers shows 0 and full size stats shows a missing box even though the mining_proxy.py shows activity. Later on it might start working again then it repeats with zero activity.
I had same problem... 3 of my RPI's with bfgminer 3.9.0 went to the second pool, for more than 1 hour. For them, the BitMinter pool was down, but I still had 2 other mining to same pool. Very strange indeed. December 28, 2013, 12:55:27 AM
Banning botnets and fending off their attacks. Bit of a bumpy ride at the moment. But looking better already.
To botnet herders: connecting thousands of cpuminer instances using getwork from 1 IP is no better than from thousands of IPs. It still causes a lot of load for almost no effect, and you will still get banned. Also, advice on illegal botnet activity: earning 0.01 BTC per year is not worth going to jail.

Is there something wrong with the pool, my Avalon's aren't hashing from your pool, they are set to hash from you first and failover in the event your pools stop working?

May be time to drop getwork support...

How difficulty increases affect your mining income:

Let me know if you find out whether it works with the latest Bitminter client or not.

Well this didn't work out as planned so I'm still hunting for some Chilis...perhaps I can try it out in early 2014

**SNIP**
In the latest version of Bitminter client I made a fix for the Chili firmware BFL-incompatibility, but I couldn't get anyone to test whether it works. Worth a try.
In other news, do the Chili Miners work with the BitMinter client?

Awesome! I've got a pair of them coming to me so I'll let you know how things look probably next week.

We haven't really had many "average" days lately, we were super lucky on the 23rd, but have been unlucky since... I THINK we're doing about 8 blocks a day average, and at a little under 200Gh I'm getting about 0.01 a block, so 600 should be getting a little over 0.03ish and about a quarter coin a day on average.
December 26, 2013, 11:54:47 PM
For those of you "as of this reply" that mine with with anywhere from 550 to 650 Gh/s in BitMinter of course heh. What do you seem to be averaging per day since the last diff increase and how did it compare to what you were averaging before the increase ?
December 25, 2013, 11:07:46 PM
w00t, back on.
edit: very briefly and bounced off again...
Though bfg showing a network failure that bounced it to next failover pool so might not have been bitminter... but I'm fed up of messing with it now, it can go back to bitminter if it feels like it later.

Mining service restart... will only take a second or two.
haven't been able to connect for 4-5 hours, keeps saying remote connection denied?

Aaaargh, my ISP had decided to leave me offline for an hour or so, and I thought my mining host reconnected back fine, but apparently not, it's been bouncing off mint.bitminter.com:3333 so I tried 5050 same thing... I am wondering if it's me, or whether my IP change with the downtime put me in some blocked range. I'm on a 198.13.xx.xx one right now.
Edit: not just BFGminer, the java client appears not to connect either (and it's only finding one ASIC...)
Edit2: hashing on multipool just fine... still won't connect to bitminter.

Just started back up with Bitminter 2 weeks ago and pretty happy.
Is there a graph or the like to see the different pools, their hash rates and payouts? (So as to keep all things open and honest and point out problems, as Slush recently has been off by being proportionately lower in payouts for their hashrate.)

Merry Christmas fellow BitMintish people... BitMinterites ... BitMintarians ... BitMintese ... mint nerds ... whatever.
