Hopefully only SP to have some gear. Speaking of blaming entire race I will vote for AVALON  Despite of the hate here against them. In tech terms they are the only ones who know what they are doing - exelenT hardware and a TRULY OPENED SOURCED CODE including PCB layout and PIC part - nobody (had done) is doing this at the moment. In business terms avalon learned their lesson with Yufo involvement stollen chips drama and so on and I do REALY hope that they have closed that chapter and have no business relations with comrades if this is possible at all in China .

No shit
They will do nothing until next bubble  
And do remember to remove 30% from advertised hash rate and double w/GH in order to face real world from China specs
Finaly be prepared for a battle with bright and shiny Chinese web and closed source shitty software...
How nice a?

The real problem is not that your btcd is overloaded. Every btcd will reach max peer count sooner or later. Just make sure that there is always a room for relay client
Can I say that my btcd with 150 peers is overloaded - no of course. I just want it to work that way but I do always have a room for relay client always

Super  
Listen to Mat advise ...
You need to hack your Bitcoin or to restart it while relay is running as temporally solution and pray to good it will connect
Note if relay client disconnects from btcd for some reason other peer will take it's place and same shit will happen again

p3yot33at3r,

What is your isp connection?
My impressions are that you are using some kind of DSL with PPPoE or dhcp.
You need a static Routable ip in order to play this game. If you are behind nat your router gw is a private ip or your Routable ip changes too often that will kill your tcp connections for sure

If your ip is public and static you can try kano tcp6 sock hack.

The above is a BULSHIT Forget it

Back to your problem
 I do not think that dropped connections have anything in common with bitcoin rpc max threads at all.
Relay client is not using RPC at all. It talks raw to btcd and relay servers
Other thing to check is your BTC max peer count. I had this problem when I reached max peer connections and I have restarted relay client it would never connect.
So one of the hacks to  my btcd deamon is to use peer -1 and always to have a room for relay client  
I am running btcd 0.11 and relay with kano hack (because it never worked without it-thanks kano) and after block downloading again after mats incident it works just fine no issues

you wish
Despite of us who can be robbed scammed from companies all over the world CHINESE comrades never forget
I guess he missed to pay to someone and who knows what happend...
Same will happen with bitmain sooner or later. Comrades do not care if btc Is 1k or 1 euro. They want their money and unfortunately there are no chances comrades to be scamed

Pm Guy from spondtech.
Good luck

Ha
POSERCOTO ZIPKIN IS STILL ALIVE
hello poserko I am still waiting for my 10 BTC  
I will show some mersy you can send me some crap to review it and I will tell you how much gold can you extract from this shit
------
Josh spent 2 months in china building and shipping miners, making sure it got done.....
-------
You mean fucking Chinese hores, drinking and spending customers money?
I do REALY feel petty for him but I can fully understand why his wife left him if that is true of course.if not and she happen to read this that is the first thing in the morning to be done
-----
AMT shut down outsourced operations there
-----
Do you call ductaping miners outsourced operation
The most pathetic part is that Zipkin poserkoto  was sitting over gold mine for almost a year and instead of being milion are with honest business and a lot of happy customers he is one foot in the jail now ....
There were a lot of pics here from his famous trip to China but I am too tired to look for them. But for sure it was fun trip

I am wandering how is your fat Masson ass lately doing Do you start to feel that sweet ass pain already
Be prepared PSERKO BE PREPARED your colorful friends are eager to meet you in the....jail
Have a nice day poserko

Or maybe bitmain moved 20 ph somwhere else to keep decentralization propaganda allive   

They will go down to 0 as long the communists start to charge for electricity. As long as they pay the ransom to people with power they will rule the BTC world. They have it all free chips a lot of men power to assamble and cheap components also. The only thing that may go wrong is BTC price to fall or to start paying for electrycity as all of us do!
I do hope that second will happen very soon if BTC price stays same
What happend to ghash.io is not because we unpuged our 20g 1k eur miners, but because THEY unplugged their farms and went out of the game ....
BTC is still very risky business with zero or loss short term return. Bitmain took the wave on top of the bubble, made good money. I am damn sure that most of them were taken from the party but life sucks sometimes As long as he is making 1cent per miner ant pool will stay allive  
The comrades are the ones to decide how long pool will stay allive!

Bellnick,
Please do read once again pool home page. In order to solo mine and get block reward if you find it, you need to use your BTC adress as user name

Oops
Another lucky winner with 4Th only:)
So everything is possible. Congrats and merry Christmas

I am on 0.11 also

That is odd. I upgraded this morning and commented out some TX printf's

I see blocks but i am wandering why do i see

It is cluster of machines as far as i know So the scale matters at the end...

REALY?
Having in mind that net diff stays more or less same each pool operated by honest people shal give same predictable income. The only thing you need is patience....and you can be sure that 100% avarage luck is not a science fiction...

Yeah it is very hard to explain to Chinese "engineers" that something is totally wrong. As long as it is working "somehow" they will do nothing about it and there is no force on earth that will make them think the opposite  
They are just copy pasting from each other and that is all.
And they do not care..
The usual excuse is please do understand...we will put more men's power.
You need to put more brain power folks and make things right!

Using a certain pool is meter of trust. Do not count on pool stats or that blockchain will show you all blocks mined by pool. If in doubt just CHANGE POOL.

Chinese are famous with their skils

Oki let us not fight because of it. everybody has own oppinion yours and mat is spam my is opposite
Peace...
