If you weren't solo mining, you are not going to see more of that block solving than the normal amount you get for your few ghashes.... Did you actually think the site will pay you the 25 btc?

No...

Brace yourselves for the 32.4% increase in difficulty.

You should not go anywhere imo... I got a mini heart attack myself as well, when saw the first time all my machines offline, and I'm just 11ghash, being 58ish on the hall of fame (which is kinda crap, but hey) so please don't panic if you have anything lower than that.

No worries. It is hashing away just nicely, dont panic TM

We are in the same boat. I was happy to use the worker online/offline feature to check on my stuff from work, but it's giving me a mini heart attack in every 2 days so far :/

Like yesterday, I assume we will. (Although yesterday the income counter was actually moving, even if the workers were showing an offline state. Now the income is not moving, but don't panic TM )

Just wanted to say, everything became all right.

One question though still, anyone of you experienced cgminer to behave on certain rigs as it submits tens of thousands of shares, then it reconnects stratum, and ALL the shares become rejected from that point? Every single one, although it is working....

(I assume maybe cgimner 2.11.0 caused it, just upgraded to latest, hopefully this solves it ((just realized on the first machine it had the older version, not like the rest)

Okay. It has been 90 mins now, 2 blocks found by our poool and still nothing. I try not to PANIC Tm

I highly doubt that we haven't found a block in 40 minutes. BUt ok, I'll wait

(I stand corrected, actually we did not )

It is not just that...I have initiated a payout transaction, and although it says executed, i still see no sign of it, not even as unconfirmed in my wallet.,

Dafuq?

Says no such transaction. BTC of course not in wallet, neither on website.... Oh man, why is it always like this? Can't just a man mine on a pool without issues? I guess this is the exact same that drlukacs mentioned earlier, but 50BTC said it was a temporary test. How the hell is it possible that I had this 30 minutes ago then?

Guys, I just got a message that all of my workers are offline.

They are hashing, and pool accepts through stratum many shares, is it just the frontend, that has this issue?

Because checking cgminer logs, it lost connection once, but reconnected, although since that point website did not show any shares.

Is this common and they are counted, or the reconnects are not successful?

It might have to do something with stratum not connecting on many of my machines, why would that be?

I'm issued LP on 4 machines out of 6... The other 2 connects to stratum, cgminer files are exactly the same, only editing the worker name.

Insight?

ARe the unusually large number of rejects normal with this pool guys? I am getting 10% rejects on half of my machines.

If I use the exact same cgminer with only editing the worker name, and I use the same network to connect to the internet with, why on earth is half of my machines DONT get stratum, only LP?

Any insight would be appreciated.

That'd be great. But ye, the invalids are a pain :/

Gotta love these 5 hour rounds though :/ Of course it is when I join the pool.... Since 20 hours, instead of 0.45 i got 0.18

Variance, I hate you

Ouch. I would not sacrifice stratum for getwork, so I can have NMC as well I suppose...

Guys, sorry to ask, but I can't seem to be able to set up namecoin merged mining with slush's pool for the life of me. I am a miner of many types of coins, but nmc doesn't seem to be activated for some reason.

This is what I did:

I have set the namecoin address to my BTC-e nmc deposit address, I have downloaded namecoind, i made the bitcoin.conf file (user and password can be anything right? i mean anything that is not slush's login and password for a worker...), everything in it is as it should be, NO server=1 so no solo mining.

It launches, the cursor blinks, but i don't get any shares. And btw, how do I set namecoinD to handle the btc-e address? I have a feeling somehow I should let the exe know that that is my address where it should accumulate NMC...

Any help please?

(Using stratum, 7 workers, i guess I should setup namecoind for ALL the workers ((every worker is a machine with 3 cards)), but I have yet to succeed in one's setup, that's why I ask for help...)

Fair enough. Did not mean to be hostile, just shedding light on the bride from a different angle.

Below 20, only those could get money out of it (and let's put the ideologistical bs aside, 99% of the people are into mining for the money...) that were fortunate enough to ride the recent bubble since February. Now we're in a slow, but steady decline, difficulties reached the point where everyone realizes, who jumped in, that: Ohwaitaminute, the golden age seems to be ending, wtf..?!

It'll, and it'll just get even worse. Temporarily LTC on gox will soar the prices of LTC a bit (and knock btc down a bit in my opinion), but after 10-12ish USD per LTC it'll collapse back to nowadays level. In 4 hours of trading. Then, for a year minimum, we'll never even see 100USD BTC, and 6-7USD LTC ever again.

But I am no oracle of course, but now we'll have to wait 2 years again for a surge like this we had the last few months.

PS: You know, a miner, who mines seriously, the only way to maintain income is to "flee ahead" and convert the earnings to hardware, so they can keep the steady flow of income. There is a point (mind you, in a week) where cashouts will be a LOT heavier, and they'll decide, after putting numbers in the magical excel sheets, which gets the data back as: not worth it, leaving advised. The last bump everyone is waiting on is coming hopefully this year having LTC on gox, and what's left after that? Nothing. Be around for those few hours, cash out, and come back in 2 years to do the ride again. I myself surely will do that (And I'm no high roller, I have only 12 gpu's) And what does heavy cashouts do? What you see now. Decline in price. And this is a baby's bottom cashout amount now, it'll get a LOT worse.

You might say that is a good thing. Because difficulty is not tied to the price, but inversely yes. But I don't think so.
