Cmon lazy monkeys lets find this block! Chee Hee hahaha

Holy crap!  You're killing me Larry! 

We briefly touched 9GH/s today.  Good job Monkeys!

Just added a CRAZY PYRAMID BOUNTY!

Block 1 - 4 BTC
Block 2 - 3 BTC
Block 3 - 2 BTC
Block 4 - 1 BTC

And if enough people sign up and we can find our fourth block by Friday of next week I will extend the 1 BTC bonus for FIVE MORE BLOCKS!!

THAT'S 15 BTC in BONUSES!


If you don't sign up with us, our monkey will throw poop at your miners.

BLOCK PARTY!

We found a block....on July 1st.

Reminder, this is a beta test. I did not develop the front-end and I have been spending close to 6 hours a day diagnosing and fixing it for you guys.  I apologize for any bugs we find along the way.

No shares were lost, everything was humming along just fine.  It's just that the accounting portion of the front-end that runs every 8 minutes did not detect that we had found a block - *doh*.  Once I corrected the problem it calculated all the shares and payouts based on 800,000+ shares that went into the first block.  Your balances are all updated based on the normal proportional method described earlier in the thread.

At this time automatic payouts are broken (another bug acknowledged by developer).  Manual Instant Payout works like a charm, though!

I announced the bonus after we found the block, but I am going to be nice and award it anyway.  If the winner wants to be named I can post his info here.  Stay tuned for another bonus reward for finding the second block!  My business partner is in the hospital with a very serious infection and is planning on offering the second block award.  I will wait for him to announce it here.

Edit (7/6/11 9:40PM PST):  We have added SSL support to the site.  This is a *real* cert signed by a real CA - RapidSSL, not self-signed like some other bitcoin sites.  The cert supports 256-bit encryption and TLS 1.0.  You can access the site through both https://bitcoinmonkey.com and https://www.bitcoinmonkey.com .  We haven't decided if we are going to force redirection of non-SSL links to the SSL version, yet.  Thoughts on that anyone?

Did we just find a block or did the work reset?

Is your favorite pool down due to DDoS?  We aren't!  Support decentralization of mining power and give us a try today.

WIN $20!
We are currently at over 1.1 Million shares this round and as a result I am now going to offer $20 (in BTC) to the miner who finds our first block.  That's right!  Once that block hits and gets confirmed, I will do a quick query on the db and find out who was the winner.  I will then contact you privately and send you $20.00 worth of bitcoins.

Why am I putting up a prize in USD instead of BTC?  Take a look at the market...the value is dropping recently and I want to make sure you get a fair prize.

Minor update:  JSON worker stats are 99% working right now (previously 0% working hehe).  This might open up some creative doors for those of you who like to utilize JSON outputs.

Yeah the stales are pretty low.  Long-polling works really well in our setup.  Also, I think since the pool is still small that's part of why you see less stales.

Amazing I get far less stales with your pool than most....2 or 3 per hour vs 10-15

Throwing some hashes at ya

nvm

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that BitcoinMonkey.com is going PUBLIC!



Main highlights of our Public Beta Test:

• Dedicated hardware on a full 100Mbps link
• Long-Polling
• Proportional payout with 0% fee during Beta
• Automatic payouts
• Graphical pool speed statistics

Many features are also in the works.  So what are you waiting for?  Sign up and start flinging your hashes our way!

And we are back online!  Looks like a network switch in the DC failed.  This is the only trace I see in my log files:


Haven't had announcement from our DC yet, but I might expect another outage or 2 if they are swapping equipment.

Experiencing an outage right now.  Looks like our datacenter might be down internally, as I can't even connect to our backup "KVM" (DRAC) server.  I will post updates here.

I would like to say thank you to our beta testers for their hashes.  We are at 7GH/s and growing, and we broke half a million shares recently.  The server isn't even breaking a sweat right now.  Working on adding SSL support (self-signed for now), adding features to the front-end, and making the front-end easier to understand, look better, flow, etc.

Pm sent, I'll give this a go

Front end is a modified version of Xenland's Mining Farm open source project.  If you have ideas for the layout and design I'm sure he wouldn't mind taking them!

It's a work in progress.  We are updating it but trying to not do too much at once so that all the changes can be tested and verified to be functional before moving on.

I find the front end confusing.

Just another note, we support long polling, we have JSON API, and we are planning on implementing SMS alerts for "lost" miners.  We are currently developing an android app for monitoring miner status, balance, payouts, etc but that is a work in progress.

Hopefully everyone got the info.  If not, please PM me.

Phorensic and I are in different time zones so hopefully we can answer everyone's questions
