My antminer S1 is configured with the exact same eligius details for primary and secondary and then I have a different pool for the third one.  Over time I notice that it seems to "leak" hashes to the second one, and very occasionally to the third one.  But the third one gets like just a handful of diff 128 shares in a few days time.  The fact that it goes to the second pool configured, which as I mentioned is identical to the first, is strange.  I am thinking it sees some sort of hiccup and switches but since the second pool is identical to the first that "hiccup" must be short indeed since it is then able to mine on the same address at the same pool as the primary.  I also like how these things switch back right away if the primary pool is available.  

If you are seeing lots of switchover to backup you might try just configuring the backup the same as the primary and see if it actually keeps it mining on eligius.  

I had some other smaller miners (asicminer cubes) setup on eligius too but I never configured a failover on those and they seemed to do just fine with the bfgminer proxy.

Me too.  Been "no sooner than a few seconds" for a couple days now.  I'm not worried though.  Looks like it means it about it having to be a manual payout which I guess means WK needs to pop in and do it.  It'll happen.  Don't worry.

Yes I am also seeing a little bit of failover as well.  Not much, a minute or two every 30 minutes or so.

Two or three business days?!??  Good luck with that.  Took me more than two months to get my ticket resolved and that was months ago.  That place has been in a death spiral for awhile so you may be lucky to get any resolution at all at this point.

2-3 days is nothing.  You should try getting support on one of the major exchanges.

GHash was caught using their mining power to force doublespends on the network.  Someone was sending bitcoins to a gambling site and simultaneously doublespending the coins, but the doublespends were not broadcast.  Instead GHash was picking up the doublespends on blocks they mined and scamming the gambling site.  I forget the details exactly but this was all exposed some time ago.  They blamed it on a rogue admin who they supposedly fired.  You can find it somewhere if you search for it.

They "lost" my coins too, months ago now.  Took me a full two months to get them back.  I also predict they are on the way out.  Just don't be one of the idiots with funds there when it happens. 

Working here.

Indeed it was!  Thanks.

I am having the same issue. I included a decent fee and it has been something like 5 hours now without any confirmations.

I have a transaction sent from my blockchain wallet going on more than 3 hours with no confirmations despite a high priority fee.

It's up but I sent a transaction from my blockchain wallet with a high priority fee and it still shows unconfirmed after more than an hour and a half.  Maybe bad luck but...


EDIT: Well I don't think it can just be bad luck now.  Something like 3 hours with no confirmations. If I look at the transaction on blockchain website it says: Estimated Confirmation Time - Very Soon (High Priority).  Something appears to be wrong here.  

I was logged in and charts were updating but after seeing this I switched to a different currency pair and now I see it too.  Only in firefox and IE right now though.  Chrome is working for me.


EDIT: Admins in troll box say they know about it and it will be fixed.  They need a new SSL cert.

Oh I see.  You were being more precise in your terminology than I was, which is weird because usually I am the most pedantic person in any conversation I have.  Thanks for the clarification.

I guess I don't understand how everyone's NMC address was changed to the same thing if there was no hack.  I also haven't seen an NMC payout since the 9th.  Do we need to go back and change our NMC addresses to what they should be or will they be restored from backup?

I had an account but nothing in it.  Now there are a couple other exchanges that if they did the same I would lose something, not a ton but something.  I felt like Gox demonstrated pretty clearly that they should not be patronized a long time ago.

Yesterday mine seemed to get pushed out of the queue after having been in.  It went from so many blocks ahead to you have 0.00000000 to enter the queue.  Now I am looking at more than a double my usual payout whenever it gets paid.  No worries for me though.  I would be hodling in my wallet so I don't mind hodling it in the pool for a bit.  Besides, as someone who has one of those jobs where you are never really "off" I sympathize with WK's position.  Everyone deserves the opportunity to ignore non-emergencies for a few days in a row once in a while.

Maybe it's a technical problem.  Some of them are working again.

I know these guys are owned by tibane.  Seems they stopped updating today.

This is a really interesting story.  I look forward to seeing the movie (when it comes out on DVD, I don't really get out to the theaters much).

But I wonder, and I know you didn't mention it, but what if MtCocks tried to blame some of their woes on the digitcoin protocols near the end?  Then wouldn't the MtCocks sourcecode which was later released either help substantiate or refute that story to some degree?  I mean I know that the release of any of the source code by your magicians pretending to be hackers supports the story that MtCocks was an amateurish exchange, but if MtCocks was really trying to blame the digitcoin protocol, it would seem that their own code would have to support that story.  Otherwise it is a potential point of incrimination for the CEO.

You know another thing that occurred to me, if you had gotten away with something like this, what would prevent you from just doing it again?  I mean if you already had people lined up for roles it seems like you could shift some things around, open another exchange, lather, rinse, and repeat.
