Just for those wondering if the pool is having issues (pool overall hash rate drop): MegaBigPower began solo mining today, which means the previously fastest user is no longer on the pool. It's sad to see them go, but it was going to happen eventually (just like ASICMINER). At least it will remove some of the "omg BTC Guild is 51% again" feelings...til the next time. Happy mining all.

Nothing is "correcting itself" - 4 shifts without a block found is only ~2.5 hours. The pool had no blocks between 9:04 AM and 11:30 AM (Pacific Time).

Just got a block, so maybe things are correcting themselves. 
September 23, 2013, 01:20:50 PM
eeeeeek. Did it break? That's a lot of zeroes....
September 23, 2013, 01:19:16 PM
No blocks in almost 4 shifts now. Is something wrong?

Any Idea why I'm getting this:
[2013-09-22 22:58:10] pool 1 JSON stratum auth failed: [
-1,
"(2006, 'MySQL server has gone away')",
null
]
I'm getting work from Pool 0 and according to site getting shares.

Is BTC Guild your first or second pool? If its your first, that error isn't coming from BTC Guild. The error isn't something that my pool would generate, so I'm guessing your failover pool is having issues.
OK thanks

Later this week the public stratum servers for BTC Guild will be extended from 3 US servers to 5 US servers in order to give a better balance of the load, and extra redundancy in the event of an attack. That upgrade will be completely transparent and users will not experience even a brief moment of downtime when the new servers are added.
That right there is good stuff!
That right there is why BTCGuild is as big as it is. Keep up the good work Eleuthria. I guess he is getting ready for the pools exploding Hashrate coming here soon.
Eleuthria: Are you looking at selling the BitFury USB Miners? (Sorry if its been asked befor)

This is what I like about BTC Guild, it's an absolutely professional service on every level.
Thanks very much eleuthria, excellent work.
Yep. eleuthria always answer my moronic questions. Very surprising for someone running a pool this long.
As for that other pool with eternal blocks and an admin with unicornic characteristics.........

There is going to be a brief restart of the private server in the next few hours. Historically, most users on that server reconnect quite quickly, so it should be virtually unnoticeable. This restart is to link that server to a different bitcoind server until the new dedicated hardware for the private server arrives later this week. Recently the private server has been lagging a lot when new blocks hit [HDD speed bottleneck], causing a higher stale rate than what would be seen on the public servers.

Little or no understanding of how PPLNS works. I hear lots of comments like this - "I hashed at BTCG for two hours, and didn't make anything at all".

Of course the pool is steady, they've got 40% of the hashrate
You mean we?Of course the pool is steady, they've got 40% of the hashrate
You mean 35.7-36.1%?
Yes, they/we. I use bitparking because of the many different alt-coins available...and they cash out into bitcoin at some point and it's a slightly better PPS plan, rather than my measly 2.67 GH/s wasted on a pool that pays squat for PPLNS or even PPS...There's too much hash to compete with on BTCGuild, so I can't waste my time on it going up against people with TH/s at their disposal.
