All my workers gave up and switched.

Website went down, but mining was fine.

Oh man. Down again. This is starting to become worrisome.

Having problems?  seem to be offline.

 Thanks for the update.

 Two requests.

1. Ability to sort workers alphabetically
2. Display my reward of each mined block on the Blocks (Income) page

 Great pool. Have been mining with you guys for a couple weeks now since Slush's rewards started getting wonky.

Apologies for the downtime.

One of the servers ran into low memory issues. Seems everything is happening today at once. I'll be working to improve stability during the next few days.

Not sure if pool is/was under attack, but again website, API, and stratum server were all down. Network hashrate down to 3-4 TH/s due to all the disconnected miners.

It was down for me too, but it appears to be working again now.

I can only confirm that it's down.
And it had many (!) short time problems the last days.

yeah.. it's down, working on backup pools for the time being

There have been lots of website outages and a few miner outages last few days it seems...

I'm down on all my miners at BitMinter. They're all chugging away on my backup pool ATM

Hi Doc, did you ever think your pool would be this popular? And with ASICs miners?

Was seeing some very heavy traffic there for a moment. Seems better now.

Pool down? Cannot access website (other than CloudFlare), cannot access API, and miner cannot access stratum server.

I've tried every LTC software out there and none works on my setup. It's definitely some driver issues but I'm unwilling to do a format. Let's hope Bitminter will release something for LTC in the near future.

 


yeah   I could really use this as i am still stuck will all gpu farm around 8GH/s

I have no idea when I will get my bfl gear. 

Asic miners usb sticks are more expensive then adding hd7790 gpu's.  So down the road LTC is going to be a must for me.

Having an LTC miner  like bitminter does for btc coin would be really nice.  I would think you could do very well with it. 

That's right. Orphaned blocks at BitMinter are what other pools show as orphan or "invalid". The stale blocks at BitMinter are of a type not shown at any other pools as far as I know. Yes, when a worker sends in stale work that could have created a block, that's listed as a stale block. Perhaps this is only demoralizing and should be hidden from the users, like other pools do.

A lot of miners don't understand that BitMinter has one of the very highest payouts you can get from a pool. If the payouts are among the very best but some users think they are among the worst, then I definitely need to do something about how data is presented on the website.


Yeah, getting 20 confirmations takes about 20 hours. That's needed if you have the prepay perk turned off. Also there is the PPLNS delay. For your work to be fully paid the shift they are recorded in must be finished, plus 10 more shifts. An average of 10.5 shifts. Currently shifts take about 27 minutes, so that's a delay of about 4 hours and 40 minutes from the work is done until it is fully paid. So yes, without prepay the total delay from doing work to getting full pay is currently 24 hours and 40 minutes.

Having half the expected income when half your work has been paid sounds correct.


Yep, that's coming soon.

Proxy is only required for miner clients that don't support stratum. CGMiner supports stratum for scrypt, so just use that.

Hey would it be possible once AISC's take over BTC mining that Mitminter could release a LTC version of the mining client?
I find all the scrypt mining really unweildly and I don't trust the proxy that alot require.
