We currently average around 4GH/s, we want to get that up to around 10-12GH/s.  There is plenty of room to grow, no fees, on time payments, and a fun group of people to chat with while you mine.  Come join us.

All the stats were being saved, but there was an issue with the web server software, took me all day but I got it resolved.

After about 10 hours of work, I got the webpage and stats back up.  As you can see, those who kept mining continued to get credit.  None of that was messed with, it was only the webpage.  But it's all back to normal.

Yeah, everything should stay fine unless you leave the page.  I'm still working on it.  I may have to wipe the whole front end and re-install, but that's a pain.  Mining will not be effected.

Added telegram chat, will put the link on our website later.  Now everyone can talk.

Yeah, it can be done, but you should use claymore and run each in a different instance since your command line arguments will be a little different for each card.

Yeah, it's slowly going up.  Hopefully we can get it high enough that blocks are found more often and payouts more often.  1 or 2 blocks a day would be great, more payouts.  We just need more miners. 

Found the root of our issue, the folder that kept all backend stats was only set at 4gigs, so once stats reached that point it stopped working and caused our issues with the server trying to resync to the raid, etc.  So I fixed that problem and it won't happen again.  A few hiccups for our first month hasn't been too bad.  Got hit by a hacker for 0.66eth, had a stubborn block that went to 175% variance then turned out to be an uncle, and now a server crash, which was 100% my fault for not monitoring the folder size.  I don't think anything else can go wrong now, so we should be in the clear.  Just afraid we have lost the faith of a lot of miners over these things.  Hopefully we can get our hash rate back up soon, we were at 6GH, now we are down to 2GH.  But even 2GH isn't that bad. 

Okay, figured it out.  With the amount of data the server has been pushing, it was forced to do a re-sync with the raid.  That's what caused our crash, it couldn't handle the resync while we were still pushing so much data.  Once the resync is finished it won't happen again because there will be much less to sync, this is the first time since starting the server it's had to do this. 

The sync will take another 10-15 minutes and everything will be restarted.  Sorry for the problems.

Yep, restarting the server.  Will be back in a few minutes.

Not sure what caused the crash, happened while I was asleep.  But glad it corrected itself.  Only problem is we lost some miners.  Hopefully they come back as well.  I'll check the logs and see if I can figure out what happened.

An uncle block is kinda like a stale or orphaned block that you would see in some other currencies like bitcoin except with Ethereum you still get paid some.  The normal rate for uncle bocks is about 3%, so the fact that we found one on our 3rd block is just really bad luck.  I'm sure someone could explain it better.  Some pools don't pay for uncle blocks, but that seems really unfair and would cause a lot of people to stop mining if it were on a small pool.  On big pools you might not notice it. 

Yep, you still get paid for the work you did, you don't have to be mining when we hit a block to get your payout as long as the amount you mined is enough for you to reach the payout threshold. 

And on a positive note, I almost have the email notifications working.  I'm so close I can taste it, just something isn't exactly right.  I know it's gonna be something simple, like a port number in a config file..

Yeah, was a rough week for noobpool.  Things should be better now.  Uncles are such a low % chance to get, and we get one on our 3rd block, and at 175% variance. 

I don't have to cut off my face and eat it afterall.  On the downside, it was an uncle.  But at least we are passed that block and looking for better luck on the next.

Yep, maybe the next one we'll find at like 5% to make up for it.  

If we don't hit it by 200% I'll eat my own face.  I'll cut it off and eat it.  I'll upload the video to youtube.

Please make it stop.  It's killing me, and not in a turn me into a vampire kinda way...  

Another update, watching New Moon now.  Oh god it's boring..  I want to stab myself in the eyes.  But this bottle of wine helps a little.

148% and still no block.  Okay, if we don't hit it by 151% I'm going to binge watch all the twilight movies in order and keep watching them until we hit the block.  Please god let us mine that block soon.

Update:

The pain begins... 

Welcome, our first couple blocks were at a low variance, but this one is being stubborn, up to 140% so far.  Maybe the next will be at like 5-10%. 

Maybe because he mined for 10X as long as you?  You earned more and only mined for 21 minutes, he had to mine for 3.5 hours and got less.  Math seems about right to me.  At least with the top example, don't know about the times for the last 3.
