24 Hour Luck       +72.5%

holy shit.

and my miners have been lucky on top of that (they are reporting about 20% higher hashrate than they actually get) so all in all I've made about double normal earnings in the last 24 hours.

When I try to do a payout I get this message:

Payout Request
An error occurred while processing your payout, please try again.

Any ideas?

Getting the exact same message, I've sent an email to BTC support hopefully get something back soon ( very annoying though).

Looks like BTCguild is down or at least the site is down.  Hopefully they fix this soon.

Looks like its just the website. My miners are all connected to uscentral fine... at least for the moment.

Good to know as I'm not home to check my miner and make sure it is connected.

If you have a smartphone, http://teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx is amazing. They have iphone and android apps that can directly control your pc at home.

I hereby accuse E of adding fake blocks into the pool to artificially increase the luck... especially now that we are at nearly 10% good luck.

I am a network administrator and hosted services provider (webhost, voip, etc) to small businesses and I have a couple of servers that have pcie slots labeled PCIeX8 and PCIeX4. Are these just normal run of the mill pcie slots that are x4 or x8 instead of the standard x16? Are there any video cards that would get a decent hashrate and work in these cards?

Thanks for your help.

The slots look like this:

PS this is a repost from the tech support forum but I guess it fits here better.

The slots look like this on a few of the servers, otherwise they are the same size but are just hardwired into the servers instead of on a riser.

Dayum. I guess it would have helped to check the stats page. That is so far away from expected value that I didn't even consider it a possibility. Thanks for the quick response.

I think something is wrong. I have been using uscentral for about a week and a half now and have been getting very consistent rewards, especially after E killed the hoppers. For the past day and a half, however, I have been getting approximately 60% of the expected value for rewards. I understand that the difficulty went up and therefore the expected value goes down... but not by 40%? My miners all have the same hash value, same everything... just different rewards. I have temporarily moved to deepbit but I like this pool and I donate at the 2.5% level. Is it just the website stats being wrong? Any help is appreciated.

I replace my laptop on average every year and a half (its a company laptop on lease). That being said, I am not overclocking it whatsoever and the fan barely runs so I know it isn't overheating. On top of that I don't care if it would ruin the laptop because I get a new one on a schedule and the warranty covers if it breaks before then.

Here's the best I can do for now. This is during normal workload as well. Approximately 8 tabs of Firefox, the miner, 5 remote desktops, Microsoft Outlook, and my company's IM program running.

I have real rigs and I average around 1 to 1.2 GH/s with those but get this:

32MH/s from my laptop with poclbm's f40 flag so it doesn't affect performance AND averages 15-25 watts during usage. Its running a HD6470M which I believe is a severely neutered 5850 (maybe 5830?). I am not advocated going out and buying $1000+ laptops for mining, just wanted to share my experience.

Sync issue on US East again last night from a 22 second round, caused our blocks to not announce for a few hours.  Just fixed it and the blocks have been announced.  Our luck had a -massive- swing last night from around -7% to +8.3% since this difficulty kicked in.
I was wondering what happened. I checked yesterday afternoon as was right at expected value for my hash rate and this morning I was 20% lower (for the rolling 24hr average). Thanks for staying on top of things so well.

Added personal user charts (Under Management -> My Charts), and a copy of the charts to the pool performance page as well.  Some more pretty pictures will be added over the next week.

This guy is awesome.

FWIW I switched BTC Guild from my back up pool to my main pool today with my 1.2GH/s when I learned about delayed stats being implemented. Before, my payouts were highly erratic and slightly less than expected. We'll see after a few days how they are, but so far the payout per blocks are pretty consistent. Kudos for sticking it to the pool hoppers.

I am thinking about trying out this pool in hopes of replacing my main pool (deepbit) due to deepbit's ddos issues and recently banning ufasoft's miner. I have caught myself up with this thread and noticed that the USWEST server is new. I live in the central US but obviously pings all over the US don't really vary by much. Is there any real difference between the west server and the central server to the end user? Less stales on one or the other? I am bringing a new rig online tonight that should kick me over 1GH/s so I guess I could run both mines for a while to test, but what are your thoughts? (sorry for rambling)
