I didn't get both of the mails..

I am using an own domain, it's not in the spam and usually I always received it.

Now my Hashrate is 0, need to get to the datacenter as I don't have an access to the miners due to some stupid mistake..

It's possible neither email went out if the hashrate never went above the threshold after activating low hashrate warnings. Contact me using the contact page on the website while logged in, then I can see your user name and check into it for you.

AOL fixed their OpenID service. AOL logins are now working again.

There is frequently trouble with getting these emails delivered. Especially to Hotmail and Yahoo which have extremely sentitive anti-spam filters. Did you get the initial mail saying that your hashrate is now above the threshold and will be monitored?

hmmm, openID's not working for me at the moment, can't log-in Huh

Same for me since last night.

AOL broke their OpenID server yesterday and it is still broken today. If you use AOL to log in, you can use the contact page at https://bitminter.com/contact to ask for help with adding a different OpenID identity provider. You could also contact AOL and implore them to repair their OpenID service. To verify that this is not a Bitminter issue, try logging in with AOL at http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com - you will get the same blank page.

For anyone not using AOL; it's business as usual.

Useful observation: only Google has provided stable login services for the entire time that Bitminter has existed.

Make sure it's not overheating, one possible cause of hardware errors.

My antminer s5 produces lots of hw when start hashing because pool tells the miner to set difficulty to 4096....way too high!
It reduces after a while...minimum diff on pool worker settings is set to 1024 too....how can i get rid of the 4094 difficulty?

It should run just fine at high difficulty and that should not cause any hardware errors at all. This is odd.

It will go to 4096 diff after it serves you 1024 diff and your S5 finds many 1024-diff proofs of work very quickly. Normally I wouldn't expect this to happen, but rather that you would get 1024 diff all the time. It could be caused by batching proofs of work so sending them to the server is delayed, the way the old Avalon machines did it. But it's a really bad idea and I don't think any ASICs do this nowadays. So I'm not sure why this happens to you.

Normally I wouldn't worry about the difficulty going to 4096 for a few minutes and then back to 1024. It should not be a problem at all. But you say you get a lot of hardware errors. Are you sure they happen when mining at difficulty 4096 and not at 1024? It doesn't make any sense at all. On the other hand, it wouldn't be the first time an ASIC machine behaves in a strange way.

oafishally mining past a video card speed.. yeah me.. Roll Eyes

, i'm with the cool kids now...

I like your pool.. board's user friendly as well as openly supported... many of my questions, got answered in reading up and jumping around the rest of the board here..

I don't know enough to have a say BPwhichever.. my hope is, as the pool operator, please make the best decision for us.. don't care to follow meaningless banter.. nor care to support anyone's singular motives.. you've been doing this long enough and know all the key players..

thank you

I also prefer BIP100. A locked in block-size growth rate (BIP101) seems a bad choice given the huge number of uncertainties - it's just asking for another hard fork to solve the problem again later.

I believe it would be a good thing for us to support BIP100. But I'd be interested to hear the opinion of miners in the pool.

Not a miner here (or anywhere anymore), but just going to promote BIP100 nonetheless. Given a choice between BIP100 and 101, I would strongly favor 100, since the exponential increases in BIP101 last far too long to be considered reasonable.

BIP100 is my choice, thanks for asking !

You've probably heard about the blocksize debate in the news. Mining pools have begun voting.

BIP100: http://gtf.org/garzik/bitcoin/BIP100-blocksizechangeproposal.pdf
BIP101/XT: https://bitcoinxt.software/

You can see how voting is going here: https://data.bitcoinity.org/bitcoin/block_size_votes/
BIP100 at the moment has over 50% miner support, but the stats take a while to show this.

I believe it would be a good thing for us to support BIP100. But I'd be interested to hear the opinion of miners in the pool.
