I guess the way to look at it is that we should not see another anytime soon.
The bad thing with such "bad luck" events is that past results don't affect future ones.

Never was part of mining an invalid block before so having been a part of 2 in a days time came as a shock. I guess the way to look at it is that we should not see another anytime soon.
Atleast we are having some good luck now it seems with 3 blocks found in less than 4hrs.

Yeah that sucks... random bad luck. That is actually our 4th invalid block ever, out of 334 blocks, so we are at 1.1%. Thankfully this block was only 1 hour long, so it lessens the pain a bit.
You can get a full list of blocks with the link at the bottom of the block stats page.

Dam wats going on with the invalid blocks? Correct me if I am wrong but I thought these were a 1.5% possibility.
2 out of 9 blocks in a 30hr period being invalid. Would like to hear any thoughts or perspectives on such an occurrence.

I don't know of any Yubikey software unfortunately. I will look into it, though.

I have added a new feature:
EMC now supports the use of Yubikeys for two factor authentication. Activating your Yubikey on EMC is a one time, one way process. Once it's active, it can not be deactivated. In addition to your traditional user name and password, you can choose to activate the Yubikey option by putting in an OTP in the Yubikey box under My Account. Once you do this, you will not be able to disable or otherwise remove your requirement for a Yubikey, and neither will an attacker!
Additionally, I have enabled the stale share counter under "reset." Resetting your shares will now also reset your stale count.

Is there a Yubikey software or do I have to buy a Yubikey USB-Key?

Well that explains why I wasn't getting notified that we found a block... not sure why it's sending out emails as NMC blocks, but yeah those are BTC blocks.
I will try to address it tomorrow if the changes I made tonight didn't fix it.

Wrong email subject:
"NMC Block #161808 has been solved!"
Should be:
BTC Block #161808 has been solved!
Right?!
Best!

Hmm... I'm not sure why that is. I will look into it.
January 11, 2012, 02:29:35 PM
I see.
The login: I guess it happens the first time each time I login. So in order to access the Shares graph, I have to login twice.

An invalid block means we found a block at nearly the same time as another source. In this case, it seems to be P2Pool. It happens fairly rarely, but everyone experiences it the more blocks you mine. More sources validated P2Pools solution than our solution and thus P2Pools was accepted over ours.
As far as the login thing - does this happen every time or just the first time?
I'm not sure that is the case - it would seem bitcoind needs to be upgraded as well.
I am in support of the feature, but I'm not sure I can support the timeframe required to implementation and testing prior to a live rollout.

miners are asked to upgrade their software and put the string "/P2SH/" in the input of the coinbase transaction for blocks that they create.

Oh, and I'm finding if I click on the number of shares I submitted for a block, I get taken to the login page. If then I login and go back to the block stats and click the # shares it then takes me to the graph.
January 11, 2012, 01:27:21 PM
So an invalid block? What does that mean? An error during the calculation somewhere?
January 11, 2012, 12:05:47 PM
I think the appearance of support in the blocks will be the deciding factor on implementing the function. Your just saying yes I would like this change added by signing P2SH into our blocks. That was my understanding anyway, but like I said, it's a bit over my knowledge level.
January 11, 2012, 10:42:03 AM
But that would imply that the bitcoind would be ready to process those transactions and it wouldn't. Or do I misunderstand the BIP?
Just adding the appearance of support would be counterproductive, to my understanding.

To gracefully upgrade and ensure no long-lasting block-chain split occurs, more than 50% of miners must support full validation of the new transaction type and must switch from the old validation rules to the new rules at the same time.
To judge whether or not more than 50% of hashing power supports this BIP, miners are asked to upgrade their software and put the string "/P2SH/" in the input of the coinbase transaction for blocks that they create.
On February 1, 2012, the block-chain will be examined to determine the number of blocks supporting pay-to-script-hash for the previous 7 days.

just add it on the end of the coinbase - 5 extra characters '0x04' and 'P2SH'
(although it could be '0x06' '/P2SH/' the wording isn't really clear
