Thank you Doc.... I am betting you don't get to sleep much any more...

My miners are hashing but the site shows 0 and total is 28,19 Thps... Will our work be lost or?
No work is lost. But live hashrates are only reported from one server. It will look wrong as we are transitioning from backup to main server. Should look normal again soon.

Status update: Switching back to main mining server. Live hashrate display on our website may be wrong during the transition.
Nothing was changed with the way we mine. This question comes up every time we some bad luck, there's always someone asking if it is something wrong. But out of 100 blocks on average one of them will have 99%+ CDF. Bad luck will happen sometimes. Same thing I've been saying for 2.5 years: the mining server is very careful to check all incoming work for whether it can create a block, and this is logged.
I think it might be wise drharibo to post what you actually updated in your latest software update mentioned in post #5475. Now I know the answer is right above it. But as our bad luck has coincided with that, I think that is where people are getting the silly idea you changed how we mine or something.

lol, this is too funny...nobodys holding a gun to your head to mine here. Dont you think its odd that nobody out of the top 50 is complaining? When i started mining here, 7 days to find a block was the norm.

I gave you an out! you can just blame it all on me! 
Well, thank you.
So was block 278333 ours or not? It shows up on blockchain.info but isn't on the Bitminter list.
No. blockchain.info just says it was relayed by Bitminter. That means the block was propagated through one of our bitcoin peer-to-peer nodes (and all the other bitcoin nodes in the network). It doesn't actually mean anything.
Unfortunately http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/blocklist.php (which actually attempts to see who created the blocks) doesn't appear to have the latest blocks right now.

I just don't get why I have only received one payment today, and only 3 yesterday. I haven't changed anything on my end. My wallet is at par with the transactions from your site. Sorry if I was acting like I jerk but my monkey mind was freaking out. 
This is because of variance. On some lucky days we pay much better than average and on some unlucky days we pay much less than average.

You can just blame me. I seem to be very unlucky, and I joined the pool just short of 2 weeks ago. I have cluster headaches, extraordinarily painful, but no cure, and little research since it's really rare and not life threatening, except suicide. There are some treatments, but none work on me. I got interested in bitcoin 3 years ago, I had a 5970 at the time, but my headaches ramped up before I figured out how to get it all working. Now the headaches are slowing down, so I finally got mining, too late to make any money with my current equipment, then the whole pool goes down. I was looking at buying 1.2-2.4 Thps in mining gear, but they only accept bitcoin, they put the gear on sale, I have no bitcoin to buy it so I go looking to buy some bitcoin. It takes at least a week to get set up with anyone to buy bitcoin. The sale will be long over by then. And that's just a small taste of my bad luck. So if you want me to leave the pool so your good luck returns please donate to me so I can buy some mining equipment and leave the pool to mess up someone else's luck and loose all the money I invested in equipment.

Mining is up on a backup server while we wait for our main provider to fix their problem. DNS propagation may take a couple min to kick in.

Oddly, after another very long wait for a block Bitminter seems to have found one about 25 minutes ago, but it seems to have taken down the whole pool. This is only the second block in in the last 1.5 days and it's not even clear what's happening now. Certainly "luck" is involved but wow, this is very unlucky! Hopefully everything is back soon and normal luck returns.
Yes, we had a couple of very unlucky rounds. But I don't think our unlucky block is what brought down our provider's entire data center.
Although I suppose it could be our bad luck rubbing off on them. January 02, 2014, 07:20:42 PM

Look at the blocks solved people. Doc is doing all he can for all of us. the diff jumped and the pool has been stuck for two days. that is the answer to your payment issues. look at your accounts guys.

at 295GH/s I should be making 0.1256 BTC every 24 hours at the current difficulty, because you have changed your system around I am lucky to get 0.016xxx BTC every 24 hours. Your system doesn't work, instead if lines your pocket and rips off people like myself.
I didn't change anything.
I'm not sure how it rips you off and benefits me. Why exactly do you think so?
If I was paying consistently 12-13% of what other pools pay, do you really think people would use the pool?
