pool speed at 99.15 Ghash/s gents. Good times.

Cool to get some more FPGAs connected! 
By the way, I noticed every once in a while there is a HEAD request to the pool back end. Is there miner software using HEAD requests?

Probably some search indexing bot, no?

Currently the server responds with "500 Internal Server Error" which is clearly wrong. I'll change this to either "405 Method Not Allowed" or "501 Not Implemented".
If someone has a need and purpose for using HEAD requests, I can implement it. It just seems odd as JSON-RPC is based on using only POST requests.

Don't know who else is using fpgas. Maybe it's ztexs mining software ? I have 800 MH/s fpga power at your pool, soon upgrading to 1.2k MH.

While nowhere near as large-scale as most of you guys, I'm planning on supplementing my 6770 with an FPGA sometime in the next 3 months.

I intend to add 1600 Mhash/s with 2 of the BFL fpga miners as soon as my tax return comes back. (We shall see if they can run like they say they do)

Spoke with Sonny not to long ago. I really hope they can deliver soon.

Nothing a doubling of hashpower can't "solve". At current difficulty it takes ~62GH/s to acheive an average of one block per day. With variance that ranges from maybe 3x to 1/3.
What seems psychological painful isn't long rounds (deep bit has plenty of long rounds) it is going a "whole day" with no payout.
At ~186GH/s we will average 3 blocks per day. 97% of the time our daily "take" will be 1 to 9 blocks. So on average we should only have 1 no-payout day per month.
Granted in the "long run" none of this matters because average reward is average reward but psychologically it will help gain and retain miners especially the kind who are influenced by luck and "not getting paid".
I believe we can get BitMinter to 200GH/s this year.

Yeah, but whos complaining. We are still way ahead of our expected revenue. You cant be lucky every single day. Well, at least its statistically very unlikely .
.Compared to other pools we have been very lucky so far. We had like two or three big blocks other pools have every week.

Looks like another stubborn block.

With all this SOPA crap going on in the US, and Censorship abroad, I believe Namecoin will come into its own. If I read everything properly anyway.

So I think I'll put this off for now. After putting in a lot of work changing the system so it can handle more than just bitcoins, it would be cool to make more use of those possibilities. But at the moment I'm not sure it makes sense.
I am sure eventually someone will make a an alt-coin with a purpose. Blockchains can be used for some many normally centralized functions. Coins which exist to be an alternative to Bitcoin serve no larger purpose. Eventually someone will make a useful alt-coin and then Bitminter will be ready.

Time & resources better spent making Bitminter the best Bitcoin pool.
True, adding new coins takes some effort. It's all about making the right priorities.
Alternative *coins are basically worthless and I don't think anyone actually gives a rat's ass about them.
Well, yeah, after all that hard work to implement merged mining, it turns out most miners don't care at all about namecoins. And some miners are just confused by them. They wonder what they should do with them, or how to put them in their bitcoin wallet.
So I think I'll put this off for now. After putting in a lot of work changing the system so it can handle more than just bitcoins, it would be cool to make more use of those possibilities. But at the moment I'm not sure it makes sense.
Time for a BitMinter rise to power?
Yeah, let's do this!
