As my relative return goes down due to increased hashrates, i find myself shrinking the size of my payout to maintain approximately the same frequency of payouts. My question is, is this going to cost me more in transaction fees when the time comes to spend my BTCs due to the need to consolidate multiple small payments?

Much appreciated!

On last diff change eleuthria was kind enough to explain what number of blocks per shift would be considered 100% so I knew whatever above 17 was a bonus. Be kind again this time and pull out your calculator and see what is normal for this difficulty?
This is for people like me that have none to minimal brain cell.

12 blocks is very slightly under neutral luck. 13 blocks is a few % above neutral luck. Based on pool growth, this may be altered slightly before the end of the difficulty (shift 'N' value may be increased due to the speed shifts are completing at).

But the pool will have absolutely no problems handling it. The stratum protocol doesn't care about miner speed, it only cares about # of connections the server has to handle. The only thing more speed adds is more database load, however, BTC Guild uses a very scalable database schema which scales nearly as infinitely as the stratum protocol when it comes to faster miners. In short, the pool could care less about how much speed you toss at it, only how many unique miners it has to provide and log work for.
So I might as well go solo because any and all usb or under 100GHers has a way better chance getting lucky.

You can estimate it by looking at how many blocks are required to do a bit more than beat the PPS rate.
It looks to be a little bit more than 12.

I think he ment PH/s
Oh, okay. See, I did need that coffee. Sorry for missing that

Geesh, this pool is on it's way to a Th/s. Hope it can handle it.
History has shown #215613 doesn't always stick around forever. Maybe this time will be different

Maybe I need more coffee or somehow haven't been following the thread properly, but which pool are you referring to please?
I am assuming you're not referring to BTCG as our pool has over 600 TH?
Thanks.

....... and SOMEBODY has to pay for it even if it isn't you.
The environment, for example.
Don't worry, we're pretty green.
Not a problem though. Just have to find an alternative miner. Thanks!

i had ran across a newer miner that will still use a CPU but take the new Stratum servers. Ill look once i am home.

Thanks for the quick response. I quickly went back to check the News (I read every new one you post because of the number badge when something new appears), but I didn't see anything about it. I thought I missed it, but I still didn't see anything now that I know what I was looking for. I still couldn't find it.
Maybe you posted it on this forum? If so, I can easily miss that since there are lots of activity here.
Any ETA on getting ufasoft working? I know it's probably low priority, but I have lots of CPU miners because electricity is free where I'm at.

Shoot, looks like the news didn't mention Ufasoft (GUIMiner was the first reported incompatibility). I doubt I will update anything for Ufasoft at this point. If things settle down long enough I may have a direct stratum server available like in the past, but the risk of continued attacks are forcing me to keep the current filtering in place. There just is no justifiable use for CPU miners anymore. There is no such thing as free electricity, somebody is taking that bill. Heck, even GPU mining is completely pointless for BTC at this point which is why a fix for GUIMiner is not high on the priority list. There is no scenario where a GPU will outpace the electricity cost, and SOMEBODY has to pay for it even if it isn't you.

I noticed none of my ufa workers are producing any work. I checked, and all of them are producing these messages:

Found NONCE not accepted by Target
Sounds like it finds a solution for a share, but the pool is not accepting it.

As posted in the news during the attacks, Ufasoft is not supported by BTC Guild stratum at this time. The same goes for GUIMiner but I'm working on a fix for that one.

Well glad to know that the servers can take the heat.

Who the hell is doing this? 80,680.63 GH/s?
Same guy that was doing 105 TH/s last week at one point. My guess is it's either part of one of the large private pools (ghash/100TH/KNC) that has BTC Guild as a failover, or an ASIC manufacturer that is using BTC Guild to test.
