stratum on port 5050 not working? my cgminer (2.10.5) show it activated but dead?
Looks to be working, as far as I can see.

Hash rate almost tripled in the Kepler architecture with some new code, would you consider adding nVidia support some time in the future?

That's nice to see, but I fear it's too late. Soon ASICs take over Bitcoin mining and it won't make sense to mine on nVidia. I don't suppose nVidia will make use of those new Kepler instructions in their OpenCL implementation.
I wonder if it would be worth it when LTC mining makes it to the top of the list. Not that I use nVidia in any of my systems...

I'll look at Litecoin when the most important Bitcoin stuff is done. One thing at a time. 
Thanks for the support, philipma1957, it is much appreciated!

Wow...Litecoin price is around $4 now. No rush, but I do look forward to using BitMinter for LTC mining.

Didn't last long 
I don't know what these 5-10 minute ddos attacks are about, but I'd appreciate it if they would stop.

We are receiving a DDoS attack right now. Sorry for the downtime. 
March 30, 2013, 03:29:51 PM
Yeah, I hear you. It's always a question of priority. I'm right now working on BFL SC support for BitMinter client. Even though I work hard I have an insane amount of work to do, so I can't give an ETA, sorry.

Hey Doc. What's up with all this stales? #228546 seems valid btw.
Yep, that was valid, as was the one we just made 1 minute ago now. Sometimes it shows as stale for a bit before it updates and shows 119 confirmations remaining. I'll see if I can speed this up.

since many avalons are popping up everywhere then any ETA, when litecoin is planned. Thinking of moving my GPU-s to litecoin already...gets too hard to mine bitcoins already
x2!
Started all ready with 50/50 - btc/litecoin.
Just to bad that bitminter do not offer litecoin mining, since i love the simplicity of bitminter
combined bitminter with BTCmon(ios) its awesome to monitor performance/luck/if something is wrong

Yeah, 5 stales in 2 days is a lot. I've been looking through everything to make sure nothing is wrong. I have several bitcoin nodes in different countries to ensure fast block propagation. This morning I upgraded to last one to bitcoind 0.8.1 which should move blocks a little faster. The nodes are all connected with each other and with the bitcoin nodes where new blocks are most often seen first. I'll be going through the list of nodes to see if it can be improved.
More hashpower joining the pool will not cause more stales and orphans. But the bitcoin network producing 7.3 blocks per hour (higher than the target of 6) increases the chance of stales and orphans somewhat. It's mostly just bad luck, though.
The first 2 though happened at a time with increased chance of stale/orphan blocks. Parts of the internet were lagging pretty badly at the time. I saw sometimes 75% packetloss in Frankfurt, Germany. That's probably related to Cyberbunker's DDoS war against Spamhaus.
Cyberbunker, which specializes in server hosting for criminals, was put on Spamhaus' spammer list. So they launched a giant DDoS attack against Spamhaus, so big it lagged the entire Internet. At its peak the DDoS was 300 Gbps, the biggest known so far. The Cyberbunker guy sits in a nuclear bunker in the Netherlands, claiming police and SWAT are unable to breach his bunker. And from there he coordinates his mad scientist plans to destroy the Internet. It sounds like a Hollywood movie, I know.

And 5 Stales now ? This has nothing to do with new Avalon's or Asic's joining the pool? Sure seems to have something to do with it. Pool jumps up almost a Thps over night and 5 stales since. So far. Should be around 10 or 12 by the end of the day.

What's the deal with all the Stales? All these rigs running for nothing. Sure seems strange Pool jumps way up in speed and 3 stales right after. This is a pretty big deal i would think? I heard of bad luck but way to much coincidence right after Pool gains huge speed we are mainly mining stale blocks.
Really hoping this gets fixed before difficulty gets out of control.

We had an issue with bitcoind (the backend to access the bitcoin peer-to-peer network), which caused mining to stop for a few minutes.
Everything is back to normal now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Two stales in a row.Everything is back to normal now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Doc, does the above issue have anything in common?
No, bitcoind is running without issues now.
It may be that the gigantic ddos going on against spamhaus is making block propagation a little wonky. Or it can just be bad luck.
Best
