My connection has been weird all day today. Not saying this is related, but I was chatting with a couple people all within 10 miles of each other, and our screens flickered twice, first disabling windows 7 aero (almost like a graphics card failure) and the second time it enabled it again. We all shared this experience, and realized when one of my friends was "what can cause my screen to suddenly flicker>?"
Sounds bizarre even for me, but I wouldn't doubt it having anything to do with the network troubles a few of us seems to be having here locally.
Oh, and my friends are both on Comcast.
I'm not familiar with Aero, but a flickering screen certainly wouldn't have anything to do with network oddities: power issues, on the other hand.... Around what time was this? I awoke to a locked system (alas, it was the one mining), and since it is a new build I haven't been able to adequately troubleshoot the issues. Power has been my primary suspect. According to my system logs, the last entry before the reboot was 18:02 (of March 26th), which I've taken to mean that's when the system locked. The last entry in my poclbm-mod log file is 11:20:10 of March 26th, but I'm not sure what zone that is. Yeah I thought it would have been some kind of a graphics card issue or a power issue, not a network issue, but I wasn't ruling anything out. I'm not new to computers, I guess I was just tired from being up for 2 days straight and wanted to share that weird happening :-P For us it happened around 1-1:30am EST |

This is frustrating. I too am on the East Coast (of the USA), and I can not access bitcoinpool.com at all. I can, however, access it using its IP directly. The frustration comes from changing my DNS to 4.2.2.1 (at the router, and /etc/resolv.conf), seeing the same behavior, and all the while sites like isitup.org, and kloth's nslookup service, report it as expected. Yet nslookup locally reports failure: $ nslookup bitcoinpool.com 4.2.2.1
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached Not so for google.com: $ nslookup google.com
Server: 4.2.2.1
Address: 4.2.2.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Address: 74.125.226.113
...snipped How dynamic is bitcoinpool's IP, if at all? Is it safe to rely on the number retrieved through the aforementioned sites? I would very much like to continue my assessment of bitcoinpool before testing the others (thanks for upping the account inactivation time, btw), but this situation has forced my hand --- well, my miner. Hello to all, by the way. Brand new to bitcoin, and this forum. I finished reading this thread in its entirety on the 25th (maybe early 26th), and I'll be writing a reply in the not-too-distant future: questions, comments, suggestions, requests, et cetera, etc. My connection has been weird all day today.

Can you try a nslookup with a global DNS server like 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, or 8.8.8.8 (Google's Public DNS)??
The globals work, but not the AT&T uVerse DNS server. Makes sense, that's what I'm using. I'm also East coast USA ATT just bought T-Mobile, and they are in the merging process. They are experiencing various temporary problems from delayed SMS to intermediate network connectivity issues, and I would guess DNS would be the problem in this case. Yeah... I'm not a big fan of Monopoly merger... makes sense though. I've been getting dropped internet all week. My first instinct for when I can't get a page to load usually isn't to check the DNS routing lol |

SH@#$%%#%t I got the idle message and lost 4 hours of mining and now says problems communicating with Bitcoin RPC WTF
and cant connect to your site
I can mine with the deepbit pool just fine
We're still crunching away with 96 active users. You might want to double check your setup. I'm having the same problem when I just tried with the same settings I have been running for the past few days. Rebooted and still problems communicating with Bitcoin RPC for some reason. |

I also have three like this, remained 0/ unconfirmed. :-/
So basically, we just have to wait it out? Or there something we each individually have to contact the admin for?
There is nothing that we can do about it. The pool has already sent the payment, and no longer has the bitcoins. It is purely a matter of waiting for the network to sort out the transactions and get them included into new blocks. Unfortunately, someone seems to be flooding the network with micro-payments right now, which is causing a significant delay in the amount of time it's taking low priority transactions to get processed. A transaction can be marked as lower priority if the amount is low, the transaction fee paid to send it is low, or nonexistent, and if there are other higher priority transactions in front of it. It's a queue that the network has to work through. I've honestly never seen it this delayed before, but rest assured, you will get them eventually. I'm sorry it's taking awhile, but it's out of our hands. We're currently looking into ways to avoid this situation in the future. We hope to have a resolution in place by the end of the weekend. I'm not blaming you or anyone else, I'm just trying to better understand what is going on... and you really cleared things up. I really appreciate what you are doing and to keep up the good work |

I having the same problems as bobR.
I've had a bitcoinpool payment that hasn't been confirmed for almost two days sitting in my bitcoin client. Yet a payment I received last night from a forum member has been confirmed 75 times.
so they are stuck in this stage?:  I also have three like this, remained 0/ unconfirmed. :-/ So basically, we just have to wait it out? Or there something we each individually have to contact the admin for? |

Hello I am new here from the past couple days. I have a question after seeing how long it takes to get the payout: This is what my profile says: Earnings - Est. Earnings: 0.26690391 Unconfirmed: 0.32957912 Historical: 0.40150722 Unpaid Earnings: 0 Yet when I look at my account... wait a minute!I was just about to ask why my account hadn't been paid out to yet even though it says it has under historical (i'm assuming), but I just checked and had received new payments pending... new question!  Those blocks were confirmed yesterday, does it usually take 12+ hours to receive payment even after a block has been confirmed, or is there unusual strain to the system causing delays? I was just curious because it seemed like it would have been really fast right after a block had been confirmed. Thanks! |
