Mining is confirmed to still be operational.  Future fixes should not require any additional restarts of the mining server.  Unless something goes wrong, the only thing that will have intermittent service is the website itself.  Shutting off the website provides a SIGNIFICANT boost to how fast operations can be done on the database, mostly because the website is essentially under 24/7 attack these days so there is a lot of database load all the time.


UPDATE:  Problem has definitely been found, now working on fixing it.  Pool servers are still online and functional, just keeping the website off a little bit longer.

I have 2 BFL singles. Customer service may be garbage but these thing are rock solid. I've never seen any ASIC miner do as low as 0.02% hardware failure rate that bfl is pushing out.

Attempted. Not finished yet 

I don't understand why all other pools have almost zero blocks found, yet btc guild is finding more than everyone else

See blockchain.info

6 blocks in a row - btcguild

That does nothing. Doesn't even most the blinking prompt line.

I should also mention that because of the formatting I can't see any of the 'Settings', 'Pool Management', or 'Display options' messages.

I'll have to dig through my inventory room.  Recently stocked up massively on packing supplies due to ramping up USB sales, and also preparation for next gen (I really hope I'm not waiting til February for that).  I want to say there were 2 backplanes leftover, but when I was paying some friends to help clean up the place to provide *some* order to all the boxes, envelopes, packing materials, etc., I think that box got shifted somewhere not readily available.

Whitelisting does not work.  iptables does not work.  Once an attacker is already flooding your pipes, blocking them does not magically remove their traffic that is already hitting your switch.  Upstream filtering IS in place at BTC Guild, but this is hitting through Stratum ports.  There simply isn't any way to completely block the traffic, outside of having enough bandwidth to absorb it.  Then the problem becomes identifying good vs bad traffic.  BTC Guild regularly has 25,000-30,000 active stratum connections.  It's *extremely* hard to separate the good from the bad.

It was running 13.3.  I'll maybe have another go with it sometime, perhaps there was something strange with my install, or I missed something.  I'm pretty sure I did everything I should have, though.

I'm rejiggering my workstation in the next few days, including a fresh install, so I'll see if I can have another go.

Still, all that said, I'm still getting far better returns from a larger pool than I did on p2pool.

Got ya. Na my only luck is 2 dlink -dub-h7 with 5 erupters a pice plugged into a pi. however on the otherhand i got 4 dlink + 2 anker hubs plugged into another anker hub that is pluged into my litecoin miner and its just pichy also. I guess the hubs kinda have a mind of there own... damn that sounds familure working with CNC's

Pictures or it isn't true.  I think they only come in black... 

Well shoot...I was getting excited about finally writing a guide for running a BE Blade on BTC Guild...then I found out I have to cut up 12v wires from a power supply and buy fans if I ever plan to use one.  Was really hoping the new models were at least remotely plug & play.

I need a server closer to my location. Any plans to expand somewhere eastward, say Florida?

Duh!  Been way too long.  Thanks.
ETA: Sent a bitcent your way.

I don't remember why, and I can't find a post saying why, but I'm still running 3.1.1.  I decided to try out 3.4.2 and I get this:from the exact same configure command I can still run in the 3.1.1 source and get this:.  Any chance a change needs made in the source to fix that again?  I know this happened once before and it was a pretty quick fix, after which I redownloaded.

Awwwwww - someone doesn't like the truth.
Did you buy lots and only now realise how silly that was? ...

I hate to be that guy but I see group buys for block erupters at .18 btc. Any reason they are able to go so low yet btcguild cannot? I saw the drop to .35 but that is basically double of what we could get elsewhere.
