I want to know how can I verify the luck value on your website?
Usually I add the total proof of work for all blocks found in the current difficulty and divide by the number of blocks to get a value, but I can't find this information on the website.
Is there a page on your website that contains this information in a table for easy copy and paste into Excel?

Good response. Diligent and trustworthy operators.
Most of the institutions the bitcoin community will need in the future are barely on the drawing board. It is good to see organizations like BTC guild leading the way.

Pool is back online and running. Website back as well. Sorry for the outage. There is one problem that occurred during the outage. A shfit was being closed at the same time as the DB server was overloaded. In order to get the pool back online immediately, I force reset the database server, killing that shift of data.
PPS shares are logged every 10 seconds, so they were not materially affected. PPLNS lost a shift worth of submissions. However, this just means the current 10 open shifts will remain open for an extra hour, and get paid accordingly. The only users that would be affected negatively are users who happened to *just* turn on more hash rate (or just start mining) during the shift that was lost. All other users aren't really affected since no *blocks* were lost, just a shift worth of how the blocks should be split. So by losing that shift, it just uses the previous 10 shifts worth of data instead of 9 shifts + the one that was lost.

Site is down.
Working on it ASAP, figures something is hitting the pool on Christmas Eve.

Some work is being started (won't see much progress til after Christmas) on a rewrite of the Stratum servers. The backend BTC Guild has been using was written in C/C++, and was actually designed for a completely different protocol which I had hoped to release before Stratum (more efficient, but less noob-friendly with the lack of JSON). While the current servers have proven to be rock solid (can go months without restarts), I'm looking to extend their capacity significantly, as well as make the different parts of the system handle threading better and as a result, make it more modular. Not much point in having quad/hex/octo core servers if the threading model puts most the load in one or two threads!
This new system will end up being tested on (gasp) an altcoin first, to get a sense of any bottlenecks/bugs, and give the modular nature a stronger test with multiple coin chains on a single service. Once proven, it will end up deployed for the BTC side as well.
Keep an eye out for the news section around the start of the new year if you'd like to give it a test with your old GPUs.

Is there any way someone could access my BTC Guild account, other than to see my stats with just my API key? Both my email and wallet are locked.
The API key is read-only. It offers no access to accounts and is not used to "prove ownership" of any accounts if somebody is trying to recover a lost account.
Info much appreciated!

Even more fun: Looks like NMC will probably break 1b difficulty in another day

My M's Pool Monitor shows Difficulty at 1180923195 ?! Can someone check what is going on?
Difficulty is now at 1.18B. That's what's going on.
I'm not sure what you were expecting?

What's going on? People are going hog wild on ASICs. Difficulty just increased again, welcome to billion difficulty.

bitcoin is about more than merely making us rich, and the value of our earnings will be determined by the direction the network takes as we navigate the rapids of regulation
