So I just wanted to leave a note of thanks to you eleuthria. I don't know how long you can keep this pool going as the mining becomes more & more centralized, but I hope you find a way & wish you the best.

I'm out; I can no longer justify running my hardware for obvious reasons. But it's been a fun run, and I don't regret taking the chance. I'm still in it for the long haul, and can't wait to see what the future holds for Bitcoin.

In the last 4 months unknown has grown at an amazing rate. The times they are a changing.
If you look at organofcorti's weekly analysis you'll find that the "Unknown" portion is mostly known. He has done an excellent job at tracking down unknown block sources.

Hey eleuthria will you uncover any address that was used by BFL in case you spot them? Just for the fun of it...
AFAIK, BFL never used BTC Guild for any testing. They almost exclusively used EclipseMC or private pools.
Slush and Eligius have moved next to BTC Guild in the hashrate distribution chart. I notice this happening from time to time. Not sure what's going on. Normally they are a smaller slice of the pie. Anybody know why some pools percentage of the network bounce around like this? Pool hopping?

Eligius has been very close to BTC Guild for the last few months, normally about 30% smaller in hash rate. Slush just gets lucky once in a while. When a small pool gets lucky, their size on that chart can more than double for a day or two. Right now BTC Guild is 1-block behind Eligius and Slush over the last 4 days, which isn't unexpected, BTC Guild had pretty poor luck for about 3 days (then the last 24 hours had a decent spike).
Guild did have it's 2 PH/s user leave again in the last 2 days. They seem to disappear for a few days every now and then.
I generally recommend http://blockorigin.pfoe.be/chart.php . 2016 blocks is a much better scale for comparison. Luck still has an impact, but it's not nearly as significant as what you see on a 1-4 day chart.
On a slightly different note, looks like the 3-month luck will be joining the 100%+ club soon (the 2 oldest weeks in the 3-month average were pretty low)!

Sure is quiet in here. Maybe I should poke the hornets nest a little.

Open a support ticket on the cloud mining dashboard. Elthuria is also full of all kinds of crap, so I wouldn't believe a word he says.

Stability issues is a funny way to hide the fact that they just don't like BTC Guild because I've never pulled any punches on calling Inaba/Josh out on his bullshit, and have always been vocal in my anti-BFL views due to their actions. The last time the pool had an outage that affected more than a fraction of the pool was 9 months ago (January), and the last time any outage lasted over an hour was during the massive DDoS last October which went on for a few weeks (though most users were only affected for a day or so).
That is the reason I am not leaving BTC Guild again. Too many issues on other pools.

Speaking of instability issues, Was last night great or what! Lotsa blocks! :-D

Hate to chime in just to whine - but boy this block is a doozy. Are these the first PPLNS shifts that closed at zero?
I shouldn't even complain, yesterday's luck was amazing. Just a zero-sum game...
(Edit: I originally posted this at 9:38:35 EDT. Then we found a block at 9:38:38 EDT.

Just posting another reminder that users should *never* use the same password on BTC Guild as they use on any other site. In the last few days, over 14,000 IPs have been banned for repeated registrations and login brute force attempts. There are now databases tens of millions of unique username and password combinations that have been harvested from websites (large and small alike). Using the same password on multiple sites that you consider to be important is multiplying your risk because it only takes one of them having a password leak to compromise all of them.
And as usual, set an email on your account to require somebody to have your email account as well in order to make account changes. Lock your email and they can't change it. Lock your wallet and they can't change it no matter how hard they try unless they actually break into your computer and steal your wallet.dat which contains the private key of your locked address.

There was an error earlier with the user login cache which wasn't being updated when a user changed their password (it also affected a few new registrations). For users that recently registered, it has been fixed if they were not put into the cache. For users that recently changed their passwords, you may need to change them again in order for the cache to reflect the change.
The earlier known instance of this error was approximately 6 hours ago.

What difficulty should I set an antminer s3 to under workers on btcguild? I set to 512 currently.
256 or 512 will both work. Even the default will work fine for them, it's only a small subset of miners (Dragon Miners and the rebranded copies of them) that actually *need* the difficulty changed to work properly.

There was a problem with changing wallet addresses earlier where any address entered would be rejected as invalid. This error has been fixed.

You missed a zero, stan.
I almost dug up an old post where I was bragging about cresting 1 GH on my mining setup.

1400 TH!
Edit. This forum does not like my mobile device. Pool is at 14,160 th... Maybe a solar storm hovers right above Bitfury KnC and China all at the same time.
