I didn't realize this pool was so small lol. Is the competition still open? If so maybe ill point my 850khash rig at it lol. do you guys think this coin has a future or should I just sell the coins I get?

Just wanted to pop by and let you know that I am on board, and that this is the first time I have seen my name next to block found 
lol...
I wonder, do you fancy helping me tweak my miner a little? I have 2 7970's and I always struggle getting a good hashrate with script..
My current settings per card...
Msi ghz 7970
clock: 855
mem: 1500
guiminer: 7970 (low usage)
Threads: 2
Hashrate = 588
Powercolor non ghz
clock: 830
mem: 800
guiminer: 7970 (low usage)
threads: 2
Hashrate = 564
Windows 7, GUIscrypt alpha, 4gb of ram and an intel i5 cpu...
I can get a little more but I gotta crank everything right up and it doesn't seem worth the extra noise from the fans to get the little increase...
Also whenever I mine scrypt I see that I get loads of blocks on screen, but when I mine with bitminter client I don't get that and I get a better hashrate...
If you can help me out that would be great and as a thank you I will set my donation
Please help cos I don't seem to find anything that works for me...

Well, the first thing you should probably do is switch to cgminer. I mine with 7950's and I get 630 kh/s out of them so you should be able to do better than that with 7970's.
cgminer is not a gui program, it's command line but it's not all that difficult to get going.
Here's the stuff you need:
1. Cgminer for windows : http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/cgminer-3.1.1-windows.zip
2. My Config file, edit the username and passwords of course : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6PMWmOuapNud3NjajBjQzhBelk/edit?usp=sharing
3. My Batch file : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6PMWmOuapNuTzNuemtFTzcxZkU/edit?usp=sharing
Here's what to do:
1. Extract cgminer-3.1.1-windows.zip into a folder on your desktop.
2. Save the config file and batch file (#2 and #3 above) into the same folder where cgminer was extracted to.
3. Edit the cgminer.conf with notepad and enter your username.workername and password and save the changes.
4. Double click the batch file and see how it runs!
Now that you have it up and running with my settings, you need to learn what the settings are and how to tweak them yourself.
Here's a tweaking guide written by the author of cgminer (If I remember correctly, I copied and pasted it) : https://docs.google.com/document/d/14JJOGkO2t6Oh9CtIsX1Tb5rMfKJsqygkgXDh-uk1D7g
Here's the cgminer thread, scroll down and you can read about what each setting does : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-cgminer-mining-software-thread-for-linuxwinosxmipsarmr-pi-4110-28402
Let me know if you need anything else !

Made some tweaks to MySQL to reduce diskio and server load. Reduced server load by about 60% when lots of people are mining.

Bad weather rolling through town. Don't be too surprised if there is some unexpected downtime as a result.
May 21, 2013, 09:14:27 AM
I was getting 2.5% stales yesterday. Now with stratum it's down to .15%
Very nice!
Very nice!
Glad to hear it ! Thanks for letting me know.

I keep hearing stratum what is that mean?
It's a newer way for your miner to connect to the pool. It's more efficient than the older getwork method and generally results in much fewer stales.
You can read more about it here : http://mining.bitcoin.cz/stratum-mining

Ok, the new server is up and running, earlier than expected too. Hopefully everything will be much smoother than before. Please report any issues you experience using the ticket system ASAP!!!
Thanks Guys !
The pool's reserve balance is currently about 900 coins. Won't be long now till we hit 1000 and the contest pays out.
How about we see what this new server can do ?

Good, I'll throw 1.4MH/s at it.
Excellent ! Let me know if you have any issues.
The share difficulty is VERY low.
It's set that way to accommodate slower miners. If it becomes an issue than I will raise it. At the moment it's a pretty good compromise until I can get vardiff implemented.
Is it an issue for you ?
Yes, I'm getting quite a few stales.
Turn your scan rate down to 5. That's where I run mine and I get less than 1% stales.
Also, stratum is coming next, that will drastically reduce stales as well.
Okay, thanks.
Let me know if changing the scan time helps you out.
Nope, 5% stales.
Stratum support is now online. Change your port to 3333 and give it a try. Please let me know how it affects your stales.

Stratum support is now operational!
It's still in testing as far as reliability goes, but I have confirmed that shares are counted and found blocks are credited normally.
If you'd like to check it out use all the normal settings except use port 3333 instead of 8342 and you'll get stratum.
Please report any issues you find with it !!!!

As previously announced the server will be restarted at 8pm Central (about an hour and a half) in order to apply some performance tweaks to the new server.
Downtime will be around 10 minutes so stick around!

Ok, the contest has completed! Here are the results (Sorted by overall hash rate at the moment):
That was pretty fun... I'm going to do it again when the reserve balance hits 1,000 again, so KEEP MINING!!!

When the profitability of BBQ Coin finally rises to 122% people drop off the pool and now we are down to 6.79MH/s ? What's up with that ?
Also, hint.... The contest is nearing completion.

Pool update : 91 blocks found from midnight to 11AM (Central)!!! Rocking and Rolling!!
Edit: added post time to make it clearer how much time we are talking about here.

Hmm, that's odd. Well, after the server restart tonight the next thing on the agenda is stratum support.
I have everything I need to implement it all lined up, I just need to work through getting it working and testing it. Perhaps you can help me test it once I get it installed ?

So far so good on the new server. I haven't received any support tickets and I've been watching it closely.
I do need to restart it to implement some performance tweaks. I will do that tonight at approx 8PM Central time.
Downtime should be about 10 minutes.
