I'll join your pool when you get your stats working (only then) and if I am still experimenting with mining.
Topic: seriously. its closed. move on. - page 9. (Read 14425 times)
Could you add the option to allow port 80 in the near future? I'd love to continue mining here.
I know there are huge plans for the pool in the next few days, can't wait!

Hello Union Members and Friends
Obviously some of you have not been following the thread and are just getting here and wondering - hey wtf is going on?
(which is fine)
So I will re-iterate my earlier posts to you.
First Let me State some facts to clear up any mis conceptions.
We do not use any kind of hosting companies or virtual servers.
We do not share or lease resources from anyone.
Our Entire operation (pushpoold, bitcoind, mysql, and web front end) are sitting on a Dedicated
3U Rackmount IBM eServer which is powered by (4) XEON MP Dual Core 3.66 Ghz CPU's
This server could handle 10000 G/hash if need be. Maybe more. The server is privately owned by me and sits in my office on a 15mbps Down / 2mbps UP connection.
When we first started the pool we decided to go with Mining Farm - which is an open source pushpoold front end designed by Xenland.
Within three days of launching our pool our speed grew more than 10 times!
From 2.5 G/hash to 30 G/hash and we quickly learned that although the server had a VERY low load and was working just fine that Mining Farm was NOT properly designed to handle speeds over even a couple G/hash. Unfortunately Mining Farm's handling of MYSQL queries is very inefficient, so we quickly decided this would not work for us.
We also had many requests from our miners for better stats and interface so what we decided to do is code a completely new statistical front end as well as a new GUI for our miners - implementing the great input and ideas you have all given us.
We also realized we were going to need more bandwidth and we planned for this. I have a business class broadband cable connection and my ISP allows me to scale it up as needed. However after deliberating on that notion my co-admin volunteered his PERSONAL 100 MB Redundant Fiber-optic link! Our server will be the sole dedicated user of this bandwidth and its entirety will be at the pools disposal!
We have a scheduled 2-3 hour downtime on Monday to migrate the server to my co admins office. At that time we will take the newly coded statistical system and freshly designed website out of the testing server and bring it online. IT IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!
The statistics you see are from the old system and are not entirely reliable. However that is just the Mining Farm front end screwing up. All your shares, hashes and rewards are being properly calculated by pushpoold / bitcoind and properly stored in the DB. You have nothing to worry about and you will see all of this on monday when our fresh front end comes online.
PROMOTIONS!
DAILY REWARD PAYMENTS! This is an exciting incentive to mine with us and don't worry on monday when the new server comes online I will be going through the database and looking and shares and who has been hashing and who has not. YOU WILL RECEIVE ALL OF YOUR DAILY REWARD PAYMENTS ON MONDAY! Which is .1 BTC per G/hash per 24 hours + .05 BTC BONUS for mining with us while our stats are screwed up. For Slower miners (100 m/hash - 999 m/hash) Your Daily Rewards are a little lower .05 daily and .025 bonus. I have already paid out several bitcoins in bonuses and I would love to continue to be able to do that so come on and mine with your union brothers!
WIN A BRAND NEW XFX 5770 !
When our first block is solved (which should be this week after we get the new front end and statistics up I KNOW our growth and speed is going to start multiplying again!) we will have a raffle amongst the miners who were mining when it was solved - the card is sitting on my self right now and I cant wait to ship it out!
FIRST BLOCK BONUS!
The lucky miner who finds that first block for us will receive +1 BTC PER G/HASH on top of your regular daily reward AND your regular round reward from the pool
PLUS A REVOLUTIONARY NEW PAYOUT METHOD THAT NO ONE ELSE OFFERS!
(i will announce that this week when we launch it)
Lots of exciting things going on - This Pool truly is the pool FOR miners and BY miners. There are benefits to being in any union and the Bit Miners Union is no different! So keep on hashing this is OUR POOL not my pool and I can't wait to show you the new features on Monday!

I hope the mining server is reachable because the HP is'nt...

You guys really need to fix your web page and remove all unnecessary "dynamic" crap, that obviously chokes your SQL/web page.
(Is your web server even configured correctly to handle little traffic?)
1) login - only thing that actually works at OK speed if the pages shows up. (but login expires to fast and is a major annoyance for a slow site)
2) statistics page - generate it once every 3 sec and serve it as a static HTML (forget SQL cache and what not. Looks like it is not used properly)
3) JSON stats work OK, thank you. Please make stats are up to date or you will lose your credibility really fast.
4) remove everything "dynamic" that adds no actual value to miners. Small, clean, fast and informative = good web page.
5) ...
Cheers.
PS! WTF is -0.43 BTC balance?

unless you can start accepting work on port 80, i gotta jump ship.... i had to move my miners into the office to cut back on my electric bill and i can only mine through port 80.
at this time the webpage loads very slow...
(it takes 20 - 40 sec. to load)
and often there is a problem with the API so my miner disconnects and goes to another pool...

2 mbps up
Well that explains why the site takes ages to load at the moment.
That fiber line will do wonders though. Nice.
Well said, BitMinersUnion.org. I hope you reported him as I'm absolutely tired of seeing this guy trolling other pools' threads. Good luck to your pool.
no actually your incorrect my friend
there is no "hosting" involved here what so ever.
Currently I have the physical server in my office, it is a IBM eServer x366 3u rackmount w/ four (4) Dual Core XEON MP 3.66 GHZ Processors
the server is owned by me and is completely dedicated to the operations of the pool
I have a 15 mbps down / 2 mbps up
internet connection in my office
my co admin has the dedicated 100 mb fiberoptic line in his office for his private use only
it is not with a hosting company and it is not shared with anything else
We do not and will not deal with any kind of colocation or hosting company
and thats one of the things that makes us different. we dont use virtual servers or anything even remotely like that
this is all privately owned hardware and bandwidth owned by us and for our exclusive use.
and I dont mean to be rude but you wont see ME, advertising my pool in your thread while trying to lie about your pool at the same time like you just did to me. It may have been subtle but i see what your doing my friend

Just want to let everyone know we are currently at DEF CON !!! we will be back on Sunday and Monday we are going to have a 2-3 hour scheduled down time to move the pool to a DEDICATED 100 MBS FIBEROPTIC LINE!
With our powerhouse server super broad band connection and custom coded pushpool front end
we are going to have a huge week this week, and I am sure that we will have our first block this week as well.

"Powerhouse server super broad band connection" <3
Gratz to the upgrades, but what you're talking about is regular low/medium-range hosting..
Still better then nothing tho!

If you are overdue daily rewards hold tight. We are going to be processing all daily reward back payments on Monday.
Monday I will be going through the database and seeing who has thactually been submitting shares all this time and who isnt
then I will pay you all accordingly
so please keep mining - on monday everything will be back up and operational as it is supposed to be
your going to love the new front end statistics that YOU the Union Miners Requested - and your going to love the ease speed and stability of our new server location
including redundant battery backups, diesel power generator and fiber optic 100 mb uplink!!!
Keep up the good work my union brothers!

@BitMinersUnion.org: Were the previous daily rewards given out? I only got the daily reward for August 2, but nothing since then. (I can send you an email about it if that would be easier)
Hi
I understand your frustrations. please read my posts in the above thread - we are creating a new statistical system - the current one that comes with mining farm (open source front end to push pool) is not well designed to take stats for a pool with our speed or higher. Thats why we are not only redesigning and recoding everything but we are also moving the server to a dedicated 100 mbit redundant fiber optic line on Monday.
so keep your miners mining - daily reward payments will continue to be paid!
come monday we will have a fully functional kick ass front end and 100 mbit line!
dont give up union b rothers!

Is the website down?
I managed to log ion and then it got really slow. Now I can not get past the front page to see whats up with the stats.
Hopefully you can fix it soon.

Hopefully you can fix it soon.
what is the formula your using to calculate payments?
As I understand it they are currently using proportional, but the admin has said he is looking into changing to a non pool hopper friendly method...
here is why I question the calculation:
total Shares this round:930515
my shares jjiimm_64 88750
my Estimated Reward this Round: 1.87 BTC
I have contributed about 9.5% of the 930515 (88750/930515)
9.5% of 50 BTC is 4.768 btc.
Can someone please explain this to me? Am I smokin the good stuff?
Sure would be nice to get an official answer on the payment question.
ungh... mining disaster.. i didnt catch it till this morning....
back up and running now.. youch!
back up and running now.. youch!
Can't wait to see the new statistics page. Hope we find our first block soon:-)
Hello friends and Union Members!!!!
my fellow admin and I have been working DILIGENTLY to get this new stats system finished
and we have SOME BIG NEWS!
Our dedicated powerhouse server is being moved to a new location!
We now not only have the crazy computing power of that dedicated server we now have a completely dedicated T1 connection, complete with professional grade firewall / routing hardware and battery / Diesel generator backup!!!!
My genius programmer co-admin is writing all new code for our front end and when stats come back we will have the stats you were asking for - it truly is all about you! The Bit Miners Union is all about the miners and the benefits are only going to get better!
Stats will be back up soon but PLEASE dont stop mining ! Every single share, hash and reward is being properly recorded, and none of that has changed we are just working on the way the front end displays stats to you the miner via the web site.
Daily reward payments have been made to most of the miners that have been mining over the last 24 hours including the bonus for mining while stats are down.
If you have not received your reward and you HAVE been mining over the last 24 hours PLEASE email me at [email protected]
and I will send your payment out today as soon as I can verify in the DB that you really have been mining for 24 hours and what your speeds are.
and dont forget to send your bitcoin wallett address so i have a place to send them
And of course once we solve our first block you will get your regular reward for the block plus +1 BTC for the miner that solves the block
+ One lucky miner is going to win this XFX Radeon HD 5770!!!!
thank you all for staying with us and being a par of the union
We are going to have an incredible custom coded front end not like anything out there
were are going to have this robust dedicated server on a screamingly fast and secure t1 connection
we are going to take this little pool up to super pool status
and we are going to do it with your help
this is a Miners Union - a Miners Pool - its all about you
we are going to continue to work into our pool the features you want
all these upgrades we are doing without taking down mining
speeds are staying steady around 30 g/hash sec and we should solve a block any day now
maybe even today!
Please note
although the new stats will be coming back soon
Monday 08/08/11 we will be having 1-3 hours schedualed down time to move our server to the T1 line
next week will be a awesome week for the union and its members
our new pool will be unstoppable and we will grow to the size we need to be at to solve blocks effectively
but i WILL NEVER allow our pool to get as big as deep bit. No offense to tycho but when a pool is that big it is not in the best interest of the miners it is in the best interest of the person collecting the fees - and we are the exact oposite
We are The Bit Miners Union
and thank you for being union members
this pool is going to huge things - we are going to change everything - its all about perspective and mentality
We come from a miners perspective we want this to be YOUR POOL - OUR POOL
So stay with it guys and again please email me your wallet addresses and how much reward you think is owed to you
I will go through the DB and verify the information and send out payments
but please dont request payment if you have not been mining for the last 24 hours with us
thank you and I will keep you updated as to when stats are coming back!
*** EDIT - I TALKED TO MY CO-ADMIN First Off I mis spoke earlier. This is no little T1 line we are moving to. This is a Dedicated , Redudant Fiber Optic Connection at 100 MBPS! DEDICATED COMPLETELY TO OUR POOL!
SECOND THING HE SPOKE TO ME ABOUT IS HE IS TRYING TO GET THE NEW STATISTICAL SYSTEM OPERATIONAL BY TOMARROW MORNING!
I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED!!!
TODAY I SENT OUT SEVERAL BITCOINS WORTH OF DAILY REWARD PAYMENTS AND MORE WILL GO OUT TOMARROW
BENEFITS FOR UNION MEMBERS ONLY BABY - I LOVE
YOU GUYS ! ITS ALL ABOUT YOU!
sorry about the caps im just excited!
