I can't add any pools or workers - the changes aren't saved, any ideas on how to solve this?

It seems to be a bug in the system we will get fixed but you should be able to log out and back in.

Update

Looks like it was a bug on our side.  We are looking into it.  The system should be back up now.


Thanks

Update

So more of the same issues look to be happening with our old DC.  We are moving as fast as possible to the new DC but until we are migrated this crap will continue to happen.  We are working on it.

Sorry guys,

...the change to 25 btc rewards may not happen till 1/2013 or possibly later......

Unless we have a namecoin fiasco happening, the 25btc change will happen at the exact time it was planned,  More or less one month max.

Just think about it..  after december 2012, never again, ever, will 50 new bitcoins be minted at one time.. ever...
Actually it's possible to mine 50 BTC at once after december 2012.

OK, I'll retract the "ever" part... I wasn't adding in fees.. 

It does bring up a good question though.. can mined fees be traced back to the spending transaction?  Fees aren't really newly minted virgin coins are they?  They are just pieces and parts of transactions included in that block.. right?

I'll also give you the technicality that it is possible the change to 25 btc rewards may not happen till 1/2013 or possibly later...

nevertheless, I think my point still holds on the 50 BTC block reward rarity standpoint, as it will be easily verifiable from the blockchain if these coins are, in fact, virgin never used coins, and also, their original mint date.

Think of it as a Mint Proof Set:

Does anyone know when payments go out.


I might.

We try to do them around noon CST but today they will be delayed a little, but will still go out today.

why not? its the only usage i could imagine...
i dont see any other reason (except for 51%attack, but i dont believe they are big enough yet)


Awww.. come on.. I already gave 2 perfectly good uses a couple pages back...

here's a third:

Why in hades would someone pay 1.7 MILLION US DOLLARS for a PENNY  !!!! Huh   http://lunaticg.blogspot.com/2010/10/worlds-most-expensive-penny-lincoln.html
 
Think ahead 10-20-50 years... what is going to be the holy grail for coin collectors?  Answer:  a wallet with 50 "mint condition" _never_used_ bitcoins...    Just think about it..  after december 2012, never again, ever, will 50 new bitcoins be minted at one time.. ever... 
 
Sooo... pay 115% now, for bitcoins that will continue to appreciate with the economy AND get a 500% premium down the road..   For anyone thats hoarding bitcoins, this should be a no brainer.  Don't hoard bitcoins, collect wallets containing newly minted coins....
 
Of course, the risk comes in that bitcoin flops, and those precious 50-coin wallets become worthless…
 
Also, this takes the very long term view.. no instant gratifacation here

Should be less than that, but yea for sure.

So I've performed some testing from a few locations and it looks like some ISP's have stale NS records which we switched today.  So if you're having issues accessing the site this is most likely the issue.

Almost all US locations have the correct NS information.  Sorry guys.

Odd Undecided   I can't pull it up on my phone either. Thailand blocked it?

It's down for me too, but I'm in China. My miners, however, stopped working about 2 hours ago, I think.

EDIT: I fixed it by changing the DNS servers.

https://gpumax.com seems to be down, but my miners are still working. When this happens everything is okay?

Thanks.

hmmm, everything seems fine here.

Fine on my end also.
