Confirmed: Eligius is ASIC-ready. 
Thanks again for testing!
And, I'm probably less than an hour from having vardiff online (for high hashrate miners) if you'd like to take a stab at it when its complete.

W000t.... I want to buy one of these big boys and point it here... should I go for Avalon batch 2?

Ok, thanks.
I thought the violent line going down meant I was losing that part if I didn't wait until it consolidated (which will happen in a minute anyway).

If I go offline for some maintenance work, will this affect my earnings? (yes or no)
If you're not mining for 2 hours, you will lose 2 hours worth of earnings in the long run. Other than that, no.Well theres that. But I thought that was obvious and didnt need mentioning. Hehe.

No. No shares are lost and all shares have an equal chancr of being paid under CPPSRB, regardless of miner behavior. (Continuous, backup pool, low or high hashrate, offline for a bit, etc).
(Editted this out. Need to write a real post when I get home)
Hope this helps.

I hate it when having stability problems mean losing BTC you had already "earned".
You never lose BTC you've earned, even if you or the pool goes offline for any issue. I don't understand your statement.
First, let me quickly clarify that shares are never worth less in the CPPSRB share log. They are stored with the share value for the time they were mined.
Also, if the pool is offline, *no one's* balances are changing, so, no one could possibly lose earned coins.
Next, I agree that the graph should partition out the estimated earnings from the unpaid ("locked in") earnings. This is on my TODO list for the stats.
But, understand that you never ever lose earnings. If you stop mining during an unlucky round, then sure, your shares will be pushed further into the share log (dubbed shelved shares now, for shares not in the current block's payments) and just won't be paid immediately. They're never "lost." The pool tracks and stores every single share and its value at the time of mining, and they are only removed from the share log once the block which paid them reaches over 120 confirmations.
Hope this helps.

has anyone done a study on how CPPSRB compares to plain PPS, in real-world stats? I'd be interested to see this if it's been done. Say a set number of shares over a period of time, how many get paid and how much is made compared to PPS.

Trying to track down whatever is causing apache to go insane and spawn hundreds of processes.
I'll have it back up very shortly!

Are you certain about that? How are intermittent miners penalised? I'd thought CPPSRB was fine for all miners, big or small, consistent or intermittent.
I see your point if you compare CPPSRB to PPS. But compared to other non-PPS methods, it's not a penalty.

Good morning,
Just recently the server suffered from some issue likely related to our postgresql database software. We're investigating further and I will post details later today when the cause is determined.
No systems compromised and no data lost.
Thanks

Greetings,
Just an update, stats are back online.
I've traced the issue back to some type of disk i/o hang early this morning, which caused enough delay for stats update tasks to overlap. That combined with accesses from the web server hanging and such caused enough of a resource pile up waiting on disk usage to hang the server for a bit.
I've adjusted some settings and will be putting better checks in the stats update scripts to make sure that this doesn't happen again in the event of some i/o hang.
Still investigating the initial cause of the i/o hold up, but, I doubt it is anything serious.

Yes it does. Thank you.
Seems like with this schema that a smaller contributor can be left out in the cold more often and not have as regular payouts. Even if they contribute with a regular and consistent hashrate. Is this correct?

Actually, no. The system is basically tailored to work best for miners with ANY consistent hash rate. The variance of lucky and unlucky blocks will let any miners average around 100% PPS, with the pool never "forgetting" about any share's value, even for a 1MH/sec miner. Granted, it will take a smaller miner much longer to reach our minimum payout (which I believe I will be calling a vote for adjustment), but, that's with any type of minimum payout at any pool.

When you say 'much longer'. What are the timescales? I'm mining at aprox. 800 MH/sec. Could you guess a average payout window?
Just asking because as i've experienced mining here for the past 3 days, is after 2 days I became stuck about half way under the minimum payout. Which I understand is due to a run of bad luck, and I'm not actually losing money.
