boing - me too - off to the backup -- yippee!

 I think the pool shit itself. All my workers just got booted.

Edit: Hiccup. Appeared downtime was < 5mins.

While I'm at it, any chance we can get an option to sort workers alphabetically ? Also, under Statistics-> Blocks/Income, what our share of each block reward was ?

Website very slow/laggy at the moment?

Yes, you didn't lose your assets after all.

But change your password on Vircurex and all other places where you have used the same one 

vircurex seems to be back up.

low and behold my .08 btc was still in my account!

I have a request...

A few actually...

1: Can you have the title change to... (The part within the quotes only)
- "BitMinter 1.45 GHs (@3)" - {So this reflects the rate and running cores when minimized, in the taskbar.}

2: A true "regulation" tool...
- Not the interval, as that is real buggy when they are set without similar values, and has no real effect.
- Setting to 1 makes cards bounce all over, 5 causes strange card round-robin like effects, 10-20 seems normal, 30-50 is like performance-mode, above 100 it just stalls the computer with no real gains.
- Suggesting an "overall throttle", all or none. Just adding a delay between "completed works", delaying longer per interval. (Before getting next job, not after getting the job, which would just cause stales.)

3: A "cool-down" interval... Options for "round-robin", or "all cooling". With the round-robin option asking how many to cool at once.
- EG, cool-down for 5 min, after 3 hours of work, 2-cards at a time, round-robin. Would slowly reduce load per card, until two are resting, staying rested for x-minutes, then slowly starting again. (Slow = less card fatigue and cold-weld shearing and allows voltage/wattage to be less of a shock.) {pun intended}

4: Correct the display when set to "performance mode".. it shows the last card in the list, not the "total", as it once did.

5: Include an "advanced mode" for those of us who know how to use the additional settings. (Also, for the hopeful addition of litecoins, which will need those settings, per card.)

6: Keep up the good work. I love this program. Saved me a lot of headaches. (When I didn't know how to use cgminer correctly.)

There was an issue at the server and I had to restart mining operations. Check your client if you use one that has problems with server restarts.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

The client tries to recognize your GPU and where the speed would normally be. That's where it places the green area for the hashrate gauge. For Turks that should be 105 Mhps. There are some different Turks models though, so that's not very exact.

If it shows 200 Mhps when the GPU name is "Turks" then that must be a bug, or perhaps an older version of BitMinter client - the numbers have been adjusted a few times.

In any place. I suppose that. The green zone is different in different computers. If the green zone it was the same from all the pc (with the same speed) it is right what you have written. But if is different that does it mean that different gpu have diferent green zone and the green zone of each gpu is showed at the Bitminter. At my laptop the mining is at green zone and the speed at this green zone is about 25-30 Mh/sec.

And were is it written that the "green zone" (I don't use Bitminter's client) is what your card should be able to achieve? I doubt any such promise is made anywhere.

I know this list but at Bitminer the potential of this card is showed much more... The green zone is at about 200Mh/sec

80-90 is perfectly normal

I have installed an AMD Radeon HD 6570. Have Catalyst 13.1 installed. I have an Intel i7 3770 and 8 GB RAM. But I can't go over 83-90 Mh/sec in mining. I used Bitminter (83-84 Mh/sec) and cgminer (90 Mh/sec). But I know that the potential of this card is higher. I see that at bitminter the green zone is about 200Mh/sec for this gpu. Can anybody help me to reach this speed to mine? Or at least to increase mine... I changed the various settings that are at Bitminter but nothing.... The speed doesn't move...

Thank you. It sounds like solid advice. I just changed a bunch of NMC -> BTC -> LTC and withdrew... I'm not sure LTC is the answer, but it seems sound, and it might have some upside...

I do not know. my method has been get in and get out of the exchanges.  I move the NMC I exchange I transfer.  Since the fee is about .01 btc to pull the money out I pull the btc out at the .2 btc level   It takes me a few days to get to .2btc 

So I got burned twice now. Not much less then .1 btc each time.  I just do not keep a lot in the exchanges . So I am now in btc-e

 with under  .2 btc this time I will  not leave as much inside it.

Ouch! I just very recently withdrew a few hundred NMC to the btc-e site to play around a bit with some alt currencies. (was very much considering going with vircurex but I couldn't remember the password for the account I set up months ago)

now I worry greatly about btc-e as well. is this a well-run exchange? trustworthy? is it only a matter of time before they are hacked as well?

No, the rate at which we generate NMC is determined by our hashrate and the NMC difficulty, only those two factors.

But is the NMC generation rate tied to the BTC rate? In other words, if BTC difficulty increases, will NMC generation difficulty also rise, or will NMC generation rate fall?

Just to clarify:

Merged mining of namecoins takes place on Stratum, GBT (getblocktemplate) and getwork.

Some pools choose to do namecoins only on getwork. That is a choice. It is easy to do with Stratum too if the pool op wants to. It has nothing to do with Stratum being a difficult protocol in any way.

It is normal to make many more namecoins than bitcoins. This is because namecoin has a lower difficulty than bitcoin, and because there are 50 NMC per block but only 25 BTC per block.

Not stale, fixed to show "processing" now, that was a bug.

We're getting so many namecoin blocks it's falling way behind.. I'll get this sped up this weekend. The payment server has a rather slow connection to the rest of the system, that's becoming a problem as we generate blocks faster. Apologies for that.
