I just bought some more S7 Batch 12 Miners. As soon as they are delivered to my host I will get them mining here. Thanks Doc for this Pool!

There's a fun diff thread that runs every adjustment period, check it out for hourly updates and speculation. Still plenty of time in this period, but yea, it does look like it's going positive again.
Nice block solve, less than 0.5 CDF! Let's keep solving them like that.

Well that just sucks. I was hoping for another reduction

My estimate of 0.05% turned out to be pretty good

mint is currently an alias for us1. You can try us2 also, but I don't expect there will be a big difference in reject ratio.
Yep. Should help a little bit. Note that this is no big deal. But yeah, you'd probably earn about 0.05% more.
On the subject of servers I've got all my minera pointed at "mint.bitminter" they are registering and hashing but would there be any advantage if I pointed them to the eu server seeing as I'm in the UK?

Well after changing servers my rejected rate as gone from 0.05-0.07% done to 0-0.01%. So that did make a difference. Thanks DrH.

Looks like its going to be another loooooong block

Question regarding "Auto cash out", does the pool not send out payments unless the auto cash out feature is enabled? I am assuming payouts are only done manually using "send coins" unless we select auto cash out, but I did not see this written out anywhere. Thanks!
You can choose whether to use auto cash out or "send coins".
Auto cash out is free, but has a 0.01 BTC minimum.
"Send coins" has a small fee, but you can send tiny amounts.
Perfect, just the info I was looking for, thank you. I think I will set up auto-payment for now. I do like having the choice, either get normal payouts or sweep up the dust!

Recently I am getting zombie hashes while I am allowed merged mining script coins + BTC on your pool with some of my old Gridseed sets.
Coincidentally, it gets automatically fixed as soon as I stop mining scripts.

You mine sha-256 at Bitminter and scrypt at another pool at the same time? And then what happens? I'm not familiar with the term zombie hashes.
I think that has more to do with his equipment zombie in my experience your running your equipment too hard. It can't sustain the you settings consider lowering them.

First full shift after everything is running properly shows 70GH, just as was expected. Rejects are 0.02% less on us2 vs. 1, so I'll leave them pointed there.
This stuff happens to me with cars all the time, where you change one thing and something unrelated goes wrong and you wonder how the two are related... but they're not.
CDF is just about 50%, we could expect a block any time now.

Good stuff! Now let's find another block
March 06, 2016, 03:32:01 PM
I'll let everything run for a bit and then try us2, because I am still seeing the interrupt/reject share/restart work thing.
I put the usb sticks on my laptop and they're running just fine (14GH on the compac, 8GH on the nanofuries), so there's a usb issue with my poor old tower computer. I pointed them to us2 and have not seen any work restarts in the couple hours they've been running, so it's possible that was related to the problem with my other computer as well.
Mine on.

Woohoo!!! About time. Now it would be nice if we could get another before it hits 10%

About the disconnects, let me know if us2 or eu1 works better.
...
That is indeed odd. Does it go up and down a lot, or is it 4-5 GH/s all the time?
It was staying 4-5GH all day long. I could access it remotely and restarted it several times and nothing changed; however when I got home and physically restarted it (i.e. unplug from hub, unplug hub, etc.) everything was back to normal for a bit, now it's acting up again. Anyway, like you said, is not pool related and must be something else.

At Bitminter only a new bitcoin block makes old work get rejected.
That is not what I'm seeing, for example here is a reject that just happened as a result of the work restart:I meant that namecoin work flushes do not cause stale work at Bitminter. I was talking about the work flush (restart), not the disconnects.
About the disconnects, let me know if us2 or eu1 works better.
But yeah, have a look at the worker options and disable "Merged mining stale flush". That should reduce the frequency of those.
Done, I unchecked that box for all my workers. What are the pros/cons of that check box? I would hope to eliminate work restarts outright rather than reduce the frequency. Oh, and the screen cap immediately above was taken 15 minutes after I made this change, so it did not appear to eliminate it.That checkbox makes the server not flush work when there is a new namecoin block. It will still flush work when there is a new bitcoin block and in some other (very rare) cases. Using this feature will cause much more stale namecoin work, but namecoin income isn't that high at the moment anyway.
And no explanation why my gekko stick only mines here at 4-5GH instead of 12-14GH? It's very odd and I can reproduce easily, just change from kano to bitminter back and forth and note the speed difference.
