Yup, the curve is unique, but it makes logical sense when you think about it. Been used to PPS for so long, this might be an amusing change.
Plus, Namecoin is always a plus. That's a first for me.

Per Giga's invite, I have joined you all in the never ending search for love. Interesting method you got here, and I look forward to seeing how it pays out, literally and figuratively. I still have a few machines to move over, and hope to bring... meh, 6 more cards on next week? Something like that.
Love and kisses,
Hotdog

Welcome Hotdog. As you've noticed, the reward system used here is a bit different to those used on most other pools. I assume Giga's filled you in but if you still have questions about the reward system or your payouts then let us know.
Happy mining!
Hells to the yes. I feel like I'm in a biker gang.
You know what they do in biker gangs, when they run out of women?
They play cards.
You sickos.

For me it's the exact opposite - I can connect to the website but not to the pool. 
Strange.
Also, now that the site is back up the hashrate charts show significant downtime. I can't be sure but I believe my miners were working away happily throughout this period. Has anyone else experienced this?
It appears the site is down but the pool is still running.

Good thing urstroyer got us off that other server!

What exactly does a block being 'orphaned' mean? Sorry for my naivete.
Have a look at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_chain
EDIT: nevermind, got it working
By the way, in case anyone as an iPhone/iPad, the developer of BTCMon recently added the yourbtc.net pool to their app. More info here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btcmon-iphone-app-5-free-promo-codes-48969 . Really nice way to monitor your current hashrate, check if any miners are down and also see your current balance. If you message the guy, he'll probably offer you a free promo code for the app.
Super rad! Thanks urstroyer!

The latest btc block we found was orphaned... 
But we are in luck.
urstroyer has paid everyone in the round for the orphaned block. He paid out 62.61273634 BTC out of his own pocket.
I don't know about you, but that's one generous pool op.
I have up'd my donations.
Thanks urstroyer!

Good point. I thought something was up when Slush was no-where to be seen on the 24 hour chart.
Even funnier is when they put up names of Bitcoin core developers. Looks like yourbtc.net is climbing the ranks, we're the #8 pool by blocks found -> http://blockchain.info/pools?timespan=4days
I see us as #5 on the "4 days" chart and #4 on the "24 hour" chart; serious business!
I'm happy to report that the new server seems to be running fine for me. Time will tell if this solves the server instability issue.
Just so you know, that chart is wildly inaccurate, so don't put too much stock into it. blockchain.info doesn't get the blocks found correctly and incorrectly attribute blocks to different IPs/pools that they didn't find. For example, you can see the last 3 or 4 blocks in my pool are attributed to Alaska Pool, somewhere in Nigeria and some unknown IPs. The last few blocks for yourbtc.net show up as various IPs as well.
If you want to be sure, you have to cross reference your blocks found page with what's on blockchain.info. Most of it will be wrong. Maybe they reconcile later? I dunno how they have it setup though.

So I don't have to change anything to miner.yourbtc.net ?
Yep right, you can use whateveryouwant.yourbtc.net or just yourbtc.net. The only important thing is to use Port 8999.
Hmm, as [mining|srv02].yourbtc.net and *.yourbtc.net resolv to different IPs you're doing some kind of port forwarding or proxying there.
For a transitional phase this is fine but in the long run you shouldn't do this as it
- undermines the pool/website separation (see above)
- adds a additional error source to the pool
- slows down the connection to the pool
- makes it unpredictable where users connect to (which might become a problem in the future).
Anyway the new server works like a charm! My efficiency raised up to ~99.6% and cgminer warnings ("Pool not providing work fast enough") dropped by ~50%. Great work, urstroyer!
