Now that I got the U3 up and running I'm trying my luck with the CrytoRig HitchHiker I mentioned previously. I am using BFGMiner with this stick and appear to have successfully joined the pool, but it is not reporting any successful shares like cgminer did with my U3. Is this normal to not get shares due to the slow speed of a single USB stick, maybe BFGminer doesn't report them like cgminer does, or is it indicative of a configuration error on my end?
the ports on the beta web page and the webgui of your miners may not correspond!

the port may have switched or changed
is that gibberish to you?!?!?
Connection settings seem to be unavailable while a rig is rented out. I can view settings for unrented miners, rented miners, connection settings are not visible for me. Check my gibberish when you get a chance.
Edit: I'm not sure if the settings are available after a miner has re-established a connection. I think things are still changing on the site.
The way this upgrade was done. If the rig was rented then as the rental's we're re-added to the new system then the port would open up and it would connect the miner's to the renter's pool. This was neccesary in order to get all the rental's going again.
The system is now back online with the old server's being used at the moment. With the new one ready and waiting for DNS to be switched. I wll be giving 30 minutes to ensure that everything is working okay before i switch the DNS and this migration will be complete.
I'm very sorry to everyone for this emergency maintenance caused by packet loss issues at our hosting provider forcing us to move our system elsewhere. As a goodwill gesture for both our renter's and rig owner's there will be 0 fees on the site from the moment DNS is switched. until monday morning GMT.

Ahmed, I'm sorry to say, but you're thoroughly full of shit. Why don't you explain what exactly is happening. Restored some old backup? I don't get why some of my rentals are set back by 2-3 days, and it looks like I'm not alone. This is not about lost packets, not about DNS, or some other excuse you're waffling here. You should shut it down, including stratum servers and don't start until it's restored to where the problem started, not some random point in the past. If you can't do that, cancel the rentals and start over. Deal with your renters out of your pocket, not at the expense of rig owners, since you already collected their payments. Discount on fees is not going to cover 3 days worth of revenue for me.
If my renters would like to reach out to for resolution outside of betarigs, please feel free to message me here. I'm unsure if messages are being sent/received currently via betarigs.com.

How do we deal with our rig rentals. Do we extend rentals? if so, when exactly did the system fail so I can ensure I my renters are compensated correctly.
1 rental reverted back a few hours. Another rental reverted back to the first day - which was 7 days ago. I can't honor all 7 days again, this problem began 24 hours ago. How do I move forward, without disturbing my customer? They're a regular, I'm sure they'll understand, but be disappointed none the less.
Rig owners should extend for the downtime, that's at least what I'll be doing so my renters don't have to file tickets. Kind of a messy situation.....
I'll be extending down time to renters, any idea how much time they've lost so far? I've been aware of the outage for about 3 hours.
Edit: Would be nice to pause rental timers - in the event when the hosts stratum proxy goes out. @mrbodz - What can be done about the timers that continue burning our renters BTC?

Re: [4000 TH] CKPool (www.kano.is) from the cgminer devs [0.9% PPLNS]
I cannot find anything in my account that says what I've earned, what I've been paid, and what I'm owed. To say I don't get paid until N exceeds 5 x difficulty + delta tells me exactly nothing. What is my N Do you have any plans to provide transparency for miners
I think PPLNS is the worst thing ever conceived for miners. I can see why you like it since payouts significantly lag work done.
I guess in 14 hours I'll see how much I'm paid for the first block found since I started mining here.
Everyone has been paid from this pool, and quite consistently for those who just leave miners running. Unless you entered an incorrect address, give the pool a few days. You can also verify this by checking out their payouts at blockchain.info.
It's not the pool ops responsibility to keep track of your BTC earnings. Simple stats are provided for what seems to be convenience only, not actual record keeping.
The code running this pool is available for download, if you need more transparency you could always run your own pool.
Some pool options for you
http://solo.ckpool.org/ - Solo mining without setup - you get something like 99% of the total block. May take a few months.
https://bitbucket.org/ckolivas/ckpool - Good place to start if you want to run your own pool, or make a better environment for miners alike to work in.
cheers!

Re: [ANN] Spondoolies-Tech - carrier grade, data center ready mining rigs
Looks like the canadian winter has got the best of my SP10 already. What do the recent updates do, does the SP10 suffer from the same bug when ambient goes below 0c?
I have a few SP10s running between 10c - 15c, no issues before or after updates.
