Think for yourself

You'll need to import your keys into the new wallet client.

eleuthria,
How does one go about doing that exactly?  I have seem many references to do this.  But have never been able to find any documentation or instructions on how to do it.
Thanks,
Sam

But if somebody want to use another wallet client? How can open that thing, eleuthria?

You'll need to import your keys into the new wallet client.  You were warned when you locked your address that it cannot be undone.


I am away from my rig, the girl friend has been checking on it

Tuesday morning she noted the miners were failing to connect.  She rebooted and restarted the miners and they still would not connect.  She has left them idling and 36 hours later no change, the box still has internet.

Any ideas??

Would need some kind of error report, miner client, DNS/IP being used to connect.

omg how do unlock the btc address in my acc?

Uh, you don't.  The purpose of locking it is so that nobody else can hack your account and change the address and steal your payout.

I sent you some NMC's, enjoy.
Sam
Wow, that was generous  Cheesy
Thank's again

Another option would be to add possibility to donate unused BTC and NMC to pool's owner.
Even if it's small amount - it just doesn't seem to be right if it will stuck in account forever.

No problem.

I do donate NMC's to a pool.  I also have some stashed in an offline wallet too.

As far as being stuck in an "account forever", I like to think of it as saving for the future in the hope that BTC will be a monetary standard at some point.

I was merely thinking about getting several BTC cents and may be 0.1-0.2 NMC as side effect of merged mining.
I cannot mine much more with my current hardware anyway.

But you can send as much as you want of course Smiley
My NMC address is MwaoMwvuJgzevoEAHLyoDb2gU1PUw3PhwW
Thanks.

Well you mine approx 3 times more NMC than BTC with Merged Mining.

I sent you some NMC's, enjoy.

Or maybe you can reduce these thresholds, especially for NMC?

How many Namecoins do you want?  Send me your NMC address and I'll be happy to send you a few worthless things. Smiley

Hi eleuthria, thanks for great pool with very convenient interface!

I wasn't here since 2011 and returned just recently to mine a few cents to play with. But discovered that with current difficulty and minimal withdrawing threshold increased by 10 times, I need 9-10 days of continuous mining just to be able to withdraw anything... And for namecoins, the time would be about 40 days Sad
Is there any way to withdraw a portion less than 0.1 BTC? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to have this feature. Delayed payment would be totally fine.

A DNS error occurred in the last day that wasn't caught.  Users pointed specifically at 'mine1.btcguild.com' were unable to resolve the proper IP address.  If you had a failover to any other BTC Guild server, no mining time was lost.

just one question, how about selling mined btc direkt to you? Just as a option for Guild Members with a small % fee for you.

For those unaware, Bitcoinica was compromised and a database leak is likely to be coming.  Hopefully by now all users have learned their lesson, but I need to stress this point:

If you used the same password on Bitcoinica as you used on BTC Guild [or ANY other website], you should change your password(s) now.

Could it just have been the site doing 5/4 rounding to 2 decimal places? If that was the case, then both of those results would have been correct to the displayed 2-decimal place number.

If the website just trims off the excess tho, then yeah, discrepancy.

No, he was right.  My formula was not adding back the rejected shares to the accepted shares.  It was calculating your accepted percentage as a percentage of accepted shares, rather than as a percentage of total shares submitted.

On the bright side, this error made BTC Guild's reject rate look [slightly] worse, rather than inflating the percentage above what it actually was.  Of course, as pointed out in ancow's post, the discrepancy was extremely minor.  The difference would have been more visible for somebody with a much higher reject rate, but still very close to the actual amount unless the person was seeing 5%+ rejects.

EDIT:  Ignore that aside note (leaving it there though in case anybody else thinks 0.5% is acceptable).  I noticed that your reject rate since 2/18 is 0.15%.

Yes, I probably should have mentioned that most of those were from back when cgminer still ignored MM-related longpolls; reject rates of >10% take a while to average out... Undecided

I don't remember when I first noticed this, but it has been around for ages:
The accepted share % seems wrong. To illustrate:
I currently have: 47025 accepted, a total of 241 rejected and an accepted % of 99.49.

If I do 100-(100*Rejected/Accepted), I get 99.48750664540138% accepted shares.
I I use the correct formula (100-(100*Rejected/(Accepted+Rejected))), I get 99.49011974781027%.

While with these numbers, the result is fairly close, it is still obvious that the incorrect formula is being used - when I first did the calculation, the numbers were a lot less ambiguous.

Thank you for pointing this out, it has been fixed.  As an aside:  You might want to look into your miner settings (intensity/aggression).  0.5% rejects is significantly higher than the pool average.  This is assuming the stats you linked are bitcoin side, not namecoin.
