Re: [4700 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+Orphan+NMC, Stratum, Private Servers
Minor Irritant feedback
The little tooltip message that pops up when the mouse is over the pool luck graph at bottom of PPLNS page uses 24 hour time format
The rest of that page uses am/pm format
Trivial I know, but it caused me some confusion at start when new to BTC Guild, so perhaps when developers are not launching new scrypt pools, or updating servers or dealing with DOS attacks, falsified transactions, etc, etc etc

Updated to 12-hour time format.
Funny enough, BTC Guild hasn't been affected by transaction malleability. Maybe it's my accounting background, or maybe it's common sense, but my system doesn't rely on your transaction ID getting confirmations before marking it as paid on your account. If I push out a payout, the payout has already been marked as sent in my system before the actual push to bitcoind. You can fix a failed payout. You can't fix/reverse a double payout.
Congrats eleuthria and to all of us miners!
please explain to me why this is a good thing?
BTC Guild represents one of (if not the) largest group of miners. We have fallen from 1st place in terms of raw speed. However, GHash.io's last statement was that 45% of their speed was their private farm (cex.io). BTC Guild itself has no private hash rate. My ASIC collection consists of a single Avalon and a dozen USB Block Erupters, none of which are currently running. Eligius has passed BTC Guild on occasion in the last week, because it now has 2 users that represent approximately 35-40% of its entire pool speed. BTC Guild has some power users, yes, but the largest one is not even 8% of the pool. The top 5 users represent approximately 20% of the pool, and then it drops *drastically* after that.
