http://waffles.wilschrader.com/ seems cant get api from new servers
wil if yoiu are here fix it please

Nothing has moved/changed in terms of the web/api server.  The only things I've changed are the stratum endpoints (where your clients connect to)

it says remote api not reachable...
is it okay for you?

I'm still pulling data with no issue, so pretty sure its not a wafflepool issue.

My python scripts pulling data from API also broke.  It seems related to new DDOS protection that was implemented a couple days ago.  I got back up and running by emulating proper browser headers in requests to API.

Does anyone know whether the above changes are the same as the 5-minute failover interval that is discussed at below links?  Just wondering if there are additional improvements that can still be made.
They're not the same. The keepalive changes only modify how long it takes before a dead connection is discovered.

You can find the failover interval value in the code section after the "Only switch pools if the failback pool has been" comment in cgminer.c.
It's 300 seconds by default, but I've lowered it to 60 seconds in my version.

Kalroth - One more question, if I may:  I noticed in your version of cgminer, that the tcp_keepidle and tcp_keepintvl values are only modified in one of the two locations these variables appear (i.e., under #ifndef WIN32, tcp_keepidle=45 and tcp_keepintvl=30 are retained).  Any reason not to change in both places?

Thanks for clarifying and pointing me in the right direction.  Much appreciated!

There are currently some network issues with coin switching. It occasionally doesn't switch, and hangs for 20 seconds or so. This seems to happen once in every 5 switches or so.

I'm working on a fix, but in the mean time if you want a workaround, and you can are ok with recompiling cgminer, you can:

in https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/util.c

change:

Code:
const int tcp_keepidle = 45;
const int tcp_keepintvl = 30;
to:

Code:
const int tcp_keepidle = 5;
const int tcp_keepintvl = 4;

These occur twice in the file.

Thanks to `Kevin on IRC for this.

So a few pages back someone was complaining about how h2o holds the coins before exchanging them... Although I agree that h2o does a decent job when it comes to exchanging, I too see a problem with this, with an example.

I check my balance/unexchanged/immature every hour or so. I checked it and my balance was .0030 (after payout of course), my unexchanged was .03195, and my immature was .01233. Now I check it, and my balance is still .0030, my unexchanged has gone down to .0254 and my immature has gone down to .0054. I understand with the immature coins you can't exchange them, but since my mature unexchanged coins didn't get auto-traded, I lost .006 btc. I understand this isn't much, but if it effects me, then I'm sure it's effected others that had a higher unexchanged balance.

I saw the same behavior.  I think it may have something to do with timing of exchanging coins and updating of middlecoin JSON.  See spikes in my graph below, which suggest that nothing is "lost", since graph resumes approximately where it left off after downward spike.  My graphs are different from coinGeek's because I plot summation of Immature (purple shading), Unexchanged (yellow shading) and Exchanged (green shading).  So on my graph, there should always be an upwards slope.  The spike and then recovery could impy that Unexchanged coins were sent to be exchanged, but JSON was written before Exchanged balance was updated.  It may also have something to do with the Immature coin balance temporarily dropping to zero, though I'm not sure why.  Regardless, the balances appear correct in is following JSON updates.

Bottom line:  I don't believe you "lost" any unexchanged coins.

I emailed them and they transferred my balance over to requested address.

I get the same error.  I have useful info to post elsewhere, but can't.  Mods - I am not a spammer.  Please allow me to post.  Thanks in advance.  :-)
