Anybody else having some weird issues with BTCGuild right now?  I was mining fine but then my computer had to update some patches on windows update and then when I rebooted bfgminer will connect to BTCGuild but it seems to only mine a single thread ONE asic chip.  The weirdest part is that if I use a different pool it'll mine perfectly, but if I use BTCGuild it screws up.  It also doesn't seem to be loading my worker difficulty setting correctly, at least not on the US server-it thinks my difficulty is set to 2 when it's not.  If I use the EU server it sets the difficulty correctly but also does the weird one thread only thing.  I don't know what the heck is going on?  It's not a hardware issue since the miners work perfectly on the other pool, and I didn't change anything with my configuration since it was working 30 minutes ago.

Weirdest part is that one of my miners on another computer is still connected to BTCGuild and that miner is communicating perfectly and everything is mining on all the chips.  Is BTCGuild's stratum server still being DDOS'ed?

No worky, anyone else have some feedback? 

It should just work with '-o stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333'.  You then connect your miners to port 8332 on the proxy's IP.

+1 eleuthria   

-15 me

Having the correct worker info really does help...  My bad.  Thank you!

Update on Getwork:  It will shut down on Friday, October 11th.  Exact time is not known, so best to assume anytime after midnight it may go down.

If you're using an ASICMINER Blade, you can use the slush stratum proxy to connect to BTC Guild via Stratum.  This is the most common method to use ASICMINER Blades on modern pools (getwork support is being less supported by pools every month).  Simply run the proxy with the argument '-o stratum.btcguild.com' to point it at our servers.  You can also use newer versions of bfgminer.  Instructions on how to do so are in the 'README.ASIC' file.

I still can't get this working with mining_proxy, what am I doing wrong here?

mining_proxy.exe -o stratum.btcguild.com -p 3333 -gp 8332 -nm


It just sits there at "Trying to connect to stratum.btcguild.com"  then I time out.  Help!  Sad

I am no expert on this but here is my 2 cents. use -o btcguild.com and take out -gp

Part of the getwork shutdown started today.  I've been cleaning out the old DNS entries that were used well over a year ago, mostly used in GUIMiner's completely outdated list of BTC Guild servers.  The following "recent" DNS entries were removed:

de.btcguild.com
mergedmining.btcguild.com
backup.btcguild.com


The getwork server shutdown is still planned for Friday of this week.  It will probably happen around 16:00 UTC.

Apparently certain ISP DNS servers are not communicating with Cloudflare properly today, causing people to have issues resolving some of the BTC Guild domains.  The most common culprit is the website subdomain (www).  I'm assuming it's related to the fact that the website DNS uses anycast, so it's not just a static record due to Cloudflare trying to make sure website traffic is directed to the nearest Cloudflare server to speed up the connection.

If you're having problems, you might want to look into using a better DNS provider (OpenDNS or Google's DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4).  ISP DNS servers are always pretty crummy.

So who is 215613?  They can't be new since they've already solved 99 blocks.  I guess, whoever it is, their order for 200 Jupiters just arrived.

That's going to be one helluva fire!  Grin

It maybe KNC "Pool mining"

Where is supposed to be meaning cloudhashing/cloudscamming?

Wow, our pool's hash rate shot up crazy high in a small amount of time.  I may have to quit mining sooner out later.  I haven't received a ROI yet!

Good idea to sell mining contacts instead?

You're not not-solo mining?  Or you're not solo mining and you have that hashrate?  Or, you're not the one doing that?  Or... Huh?
