my miners are working on the pool without any interruptions.

Website will be back in a bit after this issue is resolved. Mining continues as usual.

Some problems with live statistics this morning. Working on fixing it now.

Maintenance is over. Always nice when things go smoothly. Knock on wood. 
July 25, 2015, 04:57:29 AM
Reminder: a bit of maintenance coming up now.
July 20, 2015, 03:15:02 PM
Maintenance 2015.07.25 at 10:00 UTC to 11:00 UTC.
During this maintenance miners will be disconnected one time, but able to reconnect after 2-3 seconds. Your miner should reconnect automatically after a few seconds, and you should not really notice this.
The website will have some downtime, expected to be less than 30 minutes, within the maintenance window.
Apologies for any inconvenience. I will try to make this as quick as possible. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi. Dunno if this is the right place. But since the new round started (like an hiur ago) I fail to get work updates from Bitminter. Is anyone else experiencing this?
For Info: I am running two Antminer U2s (the "old" 2 GH/s usb sticks) using BFGMiner 3.10.0. Worked just fine until about an hour ago.

Which URL are you mining with? If you are using getwork or getblocktemplate, please switch to stratum. Getwork/GBT support is being shut down on the first of august.
That means switching from http://mint.bitminter.com:8332 to stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333
You may also want to upgrade to a new bfgminer version - 3.10 is very old.
Hi. I am mining on stratum. It's all fine. I didn't check on things for two weeks and missed that the minimum diff was raised. Obviously the U2s take longer than before solving diff 64 shares. This leads to a different output from BFGMiner. Before there were a lot of solved accepted shares reported with the occasional request for work in between now it is the other way around a lot of work request with the occasional solved share. So that is as should be expected.

I only am using one R9 295X2, I enjoyed seeing the little bit it was making... but also, yes, I am looking at a mining machine..
so currently, under my worker, in settings, I do not need to change anything, I can leave it at difficulty 1

Yeah, the live hashrates will not be reliable now at extremely low hashrates. Mining still works though.
I would not recommend starting with 1-3 GH/s. At 3 GH/s you are mining $3.12 worth of bitcoin in a whole year. Minus electricity. It probably comes out negative as those old miners are not very efficient and also require a PC (although you could run them on a raspberry pi).
1 TH/s is a better starting point.

my first post... been here like a week learnings and reading... and I finally have something to post...
these new changes.. as I am currently a nothing hobbyist 1 to 3Gh.. and new enough not to know anything about getwork/gbt closing.. how do they effect me, as I see.. my worker today, has had serious problems being seen as a worker.. then instead of my normal, very small change, I get no change and no worker, and then I get a worker, and a blast of 54 Ghps and it shows I have 640 accepted and back to 0 worker 0 Ghps.
is it now too difficult...

hey my miner on your pool is registering a best share of 0. Is there a way to change diff. I fail to find a guide on your website. currently giving at least 2T with one s4
Is your S4 not mining? I'm not sure what the problem is. Any errors?
Default diff is 512. You can set 1024 as minimum diff if you prefer that. Look under "my account" -> "workers" in the website menu and click the gear icon to access the settings.

Currently giving at least 2T with one s4 and i am on stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333. I have some miners coming of rental and was wondering if there is something i could do to increase the best share to better the results.Also i notice that there is some failover as well.
