I have been having some problems with BTCmine lately. I've been getting emails saying that payment amounts have been sent, but the balance in my Bitcoin client has not changed in the last 2 days. Is this a side-effect of the server switch? Is there any way I can fix this issue?

Does the address on the website still match the one you provided?

Is your client downloading the most recent blocks?

My address on both my Bitcoin client and in my BTCMine profile have not changed since I started in the pool. I cannot be sure if my client is downloading new block information. When I go to Generate Coins it says not connected, and seems to stay like that as long as I leave it on.

You do not need generate coins option in official client. It's useless for now.
What is the number of blocks and number of connections in your bitcoin client footer?
If client say not connected for a long time, probably you have problem with connect to bitcoin network and should check your network router/firewall/isp blocking.

Completely forgot about the minimum payout - it all makes sense now. Thanks a bunch!

Yes, depending on what you have your payout threshold set to, you can expect to eventually see all of your Total Bounty end up in your wallet. Of course, as it goes to your wallet the Total Bounty amount will drop (because its been paid out)

With BTCMine you get to set your auto payout thresh hold. If you set it to say, like 10btc, then you wont be paid out until your Confirmed Bounty exceeds 10btc. Not sure if that helps answer that question, or even makes sense.
I'm personally boggled why there's a Total Bounty field, when it's completely irrelevant to anything and it doesn't take too much effort to just add up the Unconfirmed and Confirmed amounts.

As for confirmed bounty paid out immediately, a lot of pool operators and miners will wait till amounts are 1btc or more before paying out, to prevent transaction spam and reduce fees. 0.01 transaction fee on a single 1btc transaction is a lot cheaper than 0.01btc transaction fee applied to five different 0.2btc transactions.

Thanks for taking the time Nythain, I appreciate it. One question - what is the difference between Confirmed bounty and Total payout BTC. Why would I not have the confirmed bounty paid out immediately?

The way you describe it though, I can expect all of the BTC in my Total Bounty (which is indeed unconfirmed + confirmed) to eventually make it in to my wallet, it just has to be confirmed and paid out?

Round - What does a round consist of? Just the time between blocks that are found by BTCmine? That's usually what a "round" refers to. Since other pools and miners are solving blocks on the network during this time, it makes more sense to refer to it as a pool's current "round"
Estimated score Not sure on this one since I'm unfamiliar with the exact scoring method BTCMine employs
Round shares Number of shares you have submitted this round
Average hashrate MHash/s Since pools can't get an exact hashrate from your miner/computer, they get an estimated hashrate based on the number of shares you have submitted over a given period of time, some pools 15 minutes, others 30

Bounty
Estimated bounty BTC - Estimated amount you will earn when the current round ends
Unconfirmed bounty BTC - Amount earned from blocks solved that haven't reached the 120 confirmation maturity yet
Confirmed bounty BTC - Amount earned from blocks solved that have matured
Total bounty BTC - Combination of Unconfirmed and Confirmed iirc, it's been a while since I've mined at BTCMine

Treasures
Solved shares - Makes sense
Solved blocks - Makes sense
Total payout BTC - Makes sense

Can someone tell me what the various statistics mean?

Bounty
Estimated bounty BTC - Huh

Unconfirmed bounty BTC - Huh

Confirmed bounty BTC - Huh

Total bounty BTC - Huh

I ran a traceroute yesterday or the day before and it went to the UK. Now I check the whois record and it shows Florida, and the traceroute does indeed stay in the US (although it seems to be California ... I didn't spend any real time checking further).

The server is actually located on a boat, for added security. It's like a pirate radio station. Contrary to popular belief, the "BTC" in "BTCMine" does not actually mean "Bitcoin," but rather "Boat-Transported Cooperative."

The captain made a quick trip across the pond just to keep things unpredictable. That, and the captain was highly drunk and irrational for about two weeks straight until dbitcoin finally was able to break into the bridge and subdue him until he "voluntarily" went back on his medications.

Just so you know, sometimes the captain goes below deck into the server room and hits a big red button that rejects a random miner's work result. Since his recent manic episode, he just sits there for hours, pressing the button again and again. It's a pain, but trust me the sacrifice is well worth it, as the vicious rejections provide the captain with a stress reliever and keeps him occupied.

Sarcasm appreciated. Roll Eyes

Registration temporarily closed until pool moved to another server.

Somebody really needs to host in the USA.

Used servers already in USA. Hosting use NY based datacenter.
From the pool start date.

Anybody getting a grip load of stale shares? I'm at 1.4% stale shares with around 6000 shares submitted. Huh

I was over 3% stale this morning. Had to jump ship for awhile. Sorry.

I signed up to tell you that I am sorry you see it this way. We run a few larger systems and we use Spamcop and Spamhaus for the initial SPAM filtering. You know what, using them will easily block a lot of spam because they are nice enough to keep track of all those home-IPs trying to act as an SMTP server! They also flag IP ranges where SPAM originates because where one SPAM domain exists the next is usually not far behind.
You placed your server into a bad neighborhood on the Internet and now you suffer for it. Ignore it if you think it is the right thing to do but you will lose customers!

You just miss my next post.
Hostings do not allow any spam operations for years. Home isp just continue ignore that for years.
But why spamhaus not ban big home isp segments sometimes and ban hostings subnets?
Why I should use this strange service?
Only because yahoo use it on some servers, and this service free or very cheap?
Well, and where is yahoo now? Slowly going to bankruptcy.
When this service ban your own corporate subnet, and start ignore your requests for years, then probably you start lose customers.

OK, well if you aren't going to take it seriously, you can forget my registration. Good luck with your pool.

Why I should take it seriously?
Probably some one said you what spamhaus honest and adequate service?
Ok, I told you: spamhaus service - not adequate and not reliably.
It's a old and boring story about small hosting wars (>5 YEARS OLD).
