Maintenance is being a little bumpier than expected.

For those who are unable to connect at this moment, apologies for the inconvenience, I'll get you back on the pool ASAP.

Use Stratum on port 3333 if at all possible. If mining with an old version of Bitminter client, use the new one.

Do we know when bit minter is going to be back on line?

can't see anything better than BTC, sorry!

Got it to work Had to uninstall and reinstall. Thanks for you responsiveness. Love BitMinter.

Those messages are nothing to worry about. Something else is going wrong.

Did it work before, or has it never worked?

Did you change or install a firewall?

Did you update your graphics card drivers? AMD drivers are often broken and crash the instant you look at them.

Are you getting a hs_err_pid crash log on your desktop?

Just tried what you suggested to no avail. The java console opens up but the client does not. Here is what I get on the console:

Does the client still start, or is this preventing it from starting?

Could you try flushing the java cache? https://www.java.com/en/download/help/plugin_cache.xml

I'm getting an error today on my client, reads:

Resource https://bitminter.com/client/ etc has futures expires Wed Sept 10 etc.

Could anybody help?

this was first pool i used to mine

Maintenance for the mining server on saturday 13th between 03:00 and 09:00 UTC.

You may get disconnected during this time, but not for long.

Looks like KOI is back!  Even with sometimes days between blocks, Bitminter pays steadily.

Thats another good reason to buy used!! Since most of the outgasing will have occurred with the previous owner.

There we go!!  We didn't know that BFL (and all the others including bitmain lately) was doing everyone a health service by pre-mining (testing) equipment before shipping to deplete all that
nasty VOC before it affected their customers  

Mining now, thanks 

Don't have a heart attack.  I think there would be a lot out there on the subject if running a few machines put off any amount worth worrying about.  I've been looking around and I can't find much on the topic.

VOC? whats voc?

ok, found it:

"The real issue are the chemicals released from the heated components - they give off toxic gases when heated - known as VOCs:

http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/indoorair/voc/"

i have been in the same room and sleeping with miners on same room for 1 month or so omg... is that dangerous then?? Of course window was always opened and it was ventilated every day but... you scare me now xD

I'd be interested to read up on VOC concerns.  I haven't come across anything on these.  Can you post a link to one or a couple?

Donation requirements for perks have been reduced.

They are now as follows:

API: 0.20% (was 0.25%)
Easy Mode: 0.40% (was 0.50%)
Non-stop Minting: 0.10% (no change)
Prepay: 1.20% (was 1.50%)
Team Effort: 0.10% (was 0.50%)
Pro Minter: 1.75% (was 2.00%)

In some other posts, some people tell that miners could be dangerous in closed rooms (because of VOC). Tell your son to ventilate his room 

Indeed!  This is spectacular!!!!!  Now I'm starting to think of who I know that is currently living on a campus.....

Yup.  As people switch off their S1's many pools have shrunk a little.  And that will effect performance.

I just hope they broke even.  With BTC prices so low at present being a Miner is not easy.
