I personally use CGMiner for my ASIC's then there's my Avalon which has it's own thing with CGMiner built in.

never mind its running and showing up on my dashboard. Helloooooooo BTCGuild!
Hi there, welcome. 
This is a great stable and fair pool. The pool OP is top notch with updates and status posts if issues arise. February 12, 2014, 09:58:49 PM

okay. so for BFL ASIC miners:
./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username -p password -S all
I'm going to switch as soon as this block finishes at the other pool.
./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username -p password -S all

Is this what you bat file looks like?
./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username -p password -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100
./bfgminer -o stratum+tcp://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u username -p password -S all --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100
That looks pretty close to what I used on my old ASICMINER USBs. I know the arguments have changed with newer versions of bfgminer though (now you just use -S erupter:all and ignore the --icarus stuff).

Im considering switching to BTC Guild from another pool, but I am still new.
Do most miners in this pool use CGminer? If so, why? Why not BFGminer?
I am currently using BFGminer and it works well. I have BFL equipment.

I personally recommend bfgminer over cgminer for ASIC users, but both are in the recommended clients. I've switched my preference back and forth over the last year, but in general I prefer bfgminer for ASICs.
I don't know for sure what the split is, but I'd bet it's fairly even between bfgminer and cgminer.

I expect commercial interests to take over the role of mining once the number of coins per block diminishes enough—the value of BTC will define was "diminishes enough" means. Certainly within 20 years, probably sooner.
Mining for transactions fees will become a low margin business, and as such will be handled by corporate interests who can invest enough on the infrastructure side to maximize profits. I could definitely see exchanges (or whatever replaces the exchanges) engaging in this as not only a side business, but a service for their users to ensures fast transactions.
So say I from my Throne of Prognostication™.

Once the commercial interests take over it won't be the same. It'll be just another venture for greedy CEO's to scam as much as they can. Just like they do with the US government today.

Wow!! That's a string of good luck. We just hit 6 of the last 7 blocks inside of 12 minutes!!!

Because of the inability to reorder workers, I had to rename and move some around. Well, it seems the rename didn't work the way I wanted it.
Ex:
MoreBloodWine_Avalon - Bottom of list, I wanted up top.
MoreBloodWine_Whatever - Top of list.
So I switched the names around and now Avalons on top but the mining data is still showing on the old, renamed worker at the bottom. I rebooted the machine to no avail. So I suspect something server side with the site is still still showing workers under the original name.
Any idea whats up assuming your following me Eleuthria ?

The renaming wasn't designed assuming you're going to rename workers into the same name of a previous worker. The pool servers have your old names cached to a specific worker ID, to avoid repetitive worker lookup queries to the database. That old information can't be cleared until the next time the pool servers are restarted.
You do know that all the tables can be sorted by clicking on the headers, right?
UPDATE: I'm not dismissing the problem itself, it is on the list of things I'm working to change. ScryptGuild is seeing some changes to how workers are cached in order to fix problems like this, and the occasional problem where an update fails to post to one server and the old settings remain cached. Unfortunately, right now there is no "fix" for a Name<->WorkerID association being stuck when you reuse a worker name. The only way to force that cache update is restarting the pools.

I nearly birthed bricks when I saw that cert error with the Coinbase thefts recently and now the bad transaction DDoS.

IE has been flagging secure connection for the better part of the last 6 weeks wonder why Firefox finally jumped on the same issue.
The error above happens when Cloudflare updates an SSL cert on a proxy (or starts a new proxy). They need to add all the domains to the cert, so for a brief period the certificate pops up that error.

The above error(s) happen once in a while with Cloudflare. It normally goes away in under an hour.
