I think there are some web servers (there are many) that are down. The load-balancer sometimes sends you to an 'up' web server and sometimes to a 'down' web server. Bit worrying.

[EDIT] Based on my api ticker - it's failing about 25% of the requests - so I reckon 1/4 of the internet facing web servers are not responding.

[EDIT2] I'm still with Slush tho - and mining is unaffected by the internet facing web servers - loyalty counts - have faith

The LB is supposed to detect that and remove it from the farm. Seems that there's no probe activated in the LB.

Dream become broken often
Not wanting to be junior poster painful for old geezers, but have been watching miners submit shares just fine for last several hours. 
So asking - do these seem right to others?  Shares were submitted whole time payments are saying none...

I can't see this as being a good thing, having so much mining power coming online from a single source, even if it is 2 or 3 sources that comprise the majority of the hash power, then all I can see happening in the long term is that bitcoin market could be manipulated as they will become the overwhelming share holders in bitcoins and therefore undermine the whole system.

why isn't asicminer solo mining? wouldn't think it makes financial sense to mine in a pool, sharing the win with others...

He moved that capacity over from asicminer on BTC guild to help them being under 50% of network.  Who is this who mines more than 25% of the entire BTC hash rate?   Why does he have so many ASICs and nobody else can get?

ASICMINER was a publicly funded company.  They developed their own ASIC hardware, and the people who invested in them at the start have already made their money back many times over with the dividends.  That's why they have so many ASICs:  They designed them.

They are now auctioning off hardware in batches as well so that they won't reach 50% as a single entity.  Oddly enough, they had no plans to sell hardware originally, and so far they're the best company to buy from because you'll actually get your product in a reasonable timeframe.

'realasicminer; on bitminter is running at over 5TH/s, roughly half of the entire pools hash rate, looks like the end is well and truly in sight for the masses using GPU's as the difficulty level is going to rise very rapidly if they continue to bring more asic's online.

Thanks!   That edit works to fix connection problem.  But code needs work, slush items like estimated reward don't work as is.

I tweaked it a bit on mine to give:



That looks very cool... how did you do it?

Thanks for the link, but mine doesn't show the BTC/USD exchange rate for example whereas yours does. Is that a setting I'm missing?

Cheers

Yes, I just came here to say so. One of my workers went down and after the reboot cgminer says slush's pools are down. But now it's back as I write this.

Well it's very likely our hero knows all about what's been going on despite or because of all the caterwaul on the forums, from me included.

Your hero I think!
Well over $1000 dollars a day should have afforded at least some public response from him or his representitive!

Well it's very likely our hero knows all about what's been going on despite or because of all the caterwaul on the forums, from me included. No one should expect old payments to be augmented because those on the lucky side can't have theirs reduced. I just want things to be sturdy from this point on. I haven't been mining too long but I have trust in Slush. Fingers crossed.

PS anyone know where he got that nickname?

Aye, tis was a great battle, when me and my mates followed us captain into the depths of a whale! There was a young lad with a powder keg strapped to his fine back...

This account was recently hacked
I seem to be able to access Slush's Pool webpage most of the time, occasionally getting the 'site down for maintenance' page with a link to this thread

Site is intermittently down. Anyone else see this?
from my end it is showing

mining.bitcoin.cz

Website is under the maintenance, but mining works without an interruption. You can follow updates on Bitcoin forum.

hope this means someone is looking in on the payments etc from the last week and not just a mass log dump and ram clearing.
