No internation shipping this mont? Thanks!

Well, it was close, but it looks like I won't hit the goal of having inventory on hand Monday. A few big orders in the last 2 days have sold all but 14 units on hand. I have more units on order to continue filling orders. Any order placed as of this post should be shipped out on Monday. Any orders after this post, save for maybe a few small ones, will likely not ship out until later this week (Thursday-Saturday) depending on when the next shipment shows up.
I'm sorry I couldn't reach the goal of a 24-hour turnaround for the week of July 22nd, it's hard to guess what demand will be after such a huge initial rush, and the last thing I want is to be sitting on a huge inventory of Erupters when the new Blades/Mini Blades come out (which will also be offered by BTC Guild unless something changes between now and when they become available).

Yeah, 50 % luck on a shift makes you cry inside.

Great, That sounds like a plan 
but I have namecoins sent to my address that I cannot receive and BTC-E just gave me a different address then the one I have. So what to do with the namecoins sent to my address?
but I have namecoins sent to my address that I cannot receive and BTC-E just gave me a different address then the one I have. So what to do with the namecoins sent to my address? Using btc-e wallet works perfectly well.
If you've sent some NMC to a locally generated address that you cannot use,
then there's a few options:
- seek help in an NMC forum for getting your local NMC client to work.
- just forget about it. (1 NMC is currently worth less than 50 ($-)cents, so
it might not even be worth bothering.)
- make a backup of your local NMC-wallet to eventually get back to it, once
NMC value rises enough to be worth the time to deal with it.
PS: I generated a NMC address from the priv-key of one of my BTC-addresses
and sent the first mined 0.42 NMC there. I don't have a NMC client installed
at all, so these 0.42 NMC will rest for some indefinite time - maybe forever
Eventually I might install an NMC client, or find out how to create, sign and
submit an NMC transaction on my own...

So we can switch back to EU now?
Yes, EU is safe to mine on again.

I'm still going over what just happened. This has happened one other time with EU servers, and its related to losing connection to the database server. However, this SHOULD have marked the server as dead for miners! When this happened on the US servers (attack), within about a minute miners marked the pool as dead. But on EU, for some reason the pool is continuing to respond to miners when it shouldn't be.
The servers were rebooted and are working normally again. I am going to work on a temporary workaround (auto server restart on MySQL failure) tonight. Better to have the server go offline and restart than end up losing 30 minutes worth of work.

yeah same here, was on EU server, last share about an hour ago. Now on non-EU server and shares are being accepted again.
July 19, 2013, 05:28:46 PM
Just thought I would mention that eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 has just stopped counting shares from me, switched to the non eu server (stratum.btcguild.com:3333) and shares are being counted again. Not sure if its a bug or maintenance but thought i should say something in case others are also affected.
Pool speed also dropped...

My NMC go to my BTC-E wallet. Seems to have accepted the address OK, so don't see why it wouldn't work. BTC-E doesn't change the deposit addresses.

eleuthria, I'm having a problem with setting up a namecoin wallet, it just does not work. May I set the namecoins to be deposited into an account at a exchange?
July 19, 2013, 01:11:44 PM
Eleuthria, I've accumulated enough Bitcoin for another Erupter, but I'm thinking that it is unfair to you to order these at the rate of one a week. Also, a lot more expensive for shipping. If we have several open orders of 1 ea. would you consolidate them to make your life easier? or should we order less frequently to make things easier for you? What are your thoughts on this? On one hand i want to get them mining as quick as i can so i have more coin to buy more. But on the other hand, this must be a pain in the ass for you. Surely you have better things to do with your time.
It's really not a big problem. Yesterday I pushed out every on-hand unit that was ready to ship. Next batch arrives today, and on Monday I expect to ship out every backordered unit with a little leftover to finally get into a 24-hour turn around (exception being I will probably run out before my next batch arrives, but for at least a day I should be ahead of the orders).
Shipping individually does generate the least profit, but it's still profitable and worth the time to do it. No need to feel bad
.Maybe ya should get a High School kid to help ya part time

.Update related to the top post on the page:
New colocation plans are getting finalized, equipment being ordered. Hopefully by the end of the month, US Stratum servers will be relocated to a better datacenter without packet loss "hiccups" like what we saw the other day, and some extra work done to harden the connection against attacks with upstream filtering. The current servers will stay online for a few weeks to allow DNS to update and people to reconnect to the new servers.

50Ths Pool?? Would anyone had thunk it a couple years ago?
Funny enough, I learned about Bitcoin from the Security Now podcast. While testing chips I was going crazy, so I've been listening to podcasts and audio books. For fun yesterday, I turned on the old Security Now podcast that goes over Bitcoin. Steve mentioned in the video (sounding quite amazed) that the network speed was estimated to be 186 GIGA hashes per second at the time. Amazing how far it's come in 2 and a half years. Each of the top 50 users of the pool are now faster than the entire network was back then.
Funny enough so did I, and that's when i started mining with my old old 5670 and within a week or two solved 2 blocks less in a week part

I have been seeing this error intermittently since some time just after 09:55 PDT on 7/17:
504 Gateway Time-out
cloudflare-nginx
It is affecting access to the web interface and API stats.
Could this be collateral damage from the Network Solutions DDOS?

Whoohoo! Just went over 100,000 shares! 
Let's see whether I can get to a million within a reasonable time frame
