Our pool isn't being DDoSed 

Grandma's Boy is such a great movie.

BLOCK PARTY!

We found a block....on July 1st.

Reminder, this is a beta test. I did not develop the front-end and I have been spending close to 6 hours a day diagnosing and fixing it for you guys.  I apologize for any bugs we find along the way.

No shares were lost, everything was humming along just fine.  It's just that the accounting portion of the front-end that runs every 8 minutes did not detect that we had found a block - *doh*.  Once I corrected the problem it calculated all the shares and payouts based on 800,000+ shares that went into the first block.  Your balances are all updated based on the normal proportional method described earlier in the thread.

At this time automatic payouts are broken (another bug acknowledged by developer).  Manual Instant Payout works like a charm, though!

I announced the bonus after we found the block, but I am going to be nice and award it anyway.  If the winner wants to be named I can post his info here.  Stay tuned for another bonus reward for finding the second block!  My business partner is in the hospital with a very serious infection and is planning on offering the second block award.  I will wait for him to announce it here.

Edit (7/6/11 9:40PM PST):  We have added SSL support to the site.  This is a *real* cert signed by a real CA - RapidSSL, not self-signed like some other bitcoin sites.  The cert supports 256-bit encryption and TLS 1.0.  You can access the site through both https://bitcoinmonkey.com and https://www.bitcoinmonkey.com .  We haven't decided if we are going to force redirection of non-SSL links to the SSL version, yet.  Thoughts on that anyone?

I've come up with a fix for the problem described above.  However, I'm too tired to post it.  I've come to the conclusion that there isn't a single page of this project that works right out of the box.  I have had to hack every single file to get things to work.  Very frustrated at the moment.  I have a feeling there is no testing that occurs before each release.  There are large portions of code--for critical features--that just simply do not, and cannot, work.  I realize I can help by posting commits on github, but I do not have the time to do that while I am trying to diagnose, fix, and add to our pool in production.  Grr.

I am experiencing the same bug.  Whe accountDetails tries to send a manual payout the variable is undefined and I get this in my apache log:


I've tried to recode it over and over again, but $cashOutAddress doesn't seem to get defined, even though the getCredientials->sendAddress command works everwhere else in the page.

Yes it really is *that* hard to stop DDoS attacks.  Malwarebytes probably isn't going to do much on a *linux server*, lol.

Is your favorite pool down due to DDoS?  We aren't!  Support decentralization of mining power and give us a try today.

WIN $20!
We are currently at over 1.1 Million shares this round and as a result I am now going to offer $20 (in BTC) to the miner who finds our first block.  That's right!  Once that block hits and gets confirmed, I will do a quick query on the db and find out who was the winner.  I will then contact you privately and send you $20.00 worth of bitcoins.

Why am I putting up a prize in USD instead of BTC?  Take a look at the market...the value is dropping recently and I want to make sure you get a fair prize.

Minor update:  JSON worker stats are 99% working right now (previously 0% working hehe).  This might open up some creative doors for those of you who like to utilize JSON outputs.

Yeah the stales are pretty low.  Long-polling works really well in our setup.  Also, I think since the pool is still small that's part of why you see less stales.

Download it from here http://www.digip.org/jansson/.  And yes, do ./configure, make, make install as usual.

Great progress!  One question, are we tracking this fork on github?  I didn't see the patches on the network graph there.

What about phatk performance?

What you need to do is uninstall the ATI drivers, then install without the CCC option during setup.  CCC takes control over the cards and doesn't let other overclocking software do its job.

I did some research and I see other people have this error, but with different programs obviously.  They all point back to the kernel.  Try upgrading your kernel.  They also mentioned video card drivers, which directly communicate with the kernel, so just make sure you are up to date on those also.

TeamViewer has replaced RDP and VNC as my method of choice to remote into desktops.  It punches through firewalls, it has better speed, and it's easy.

I would like to take this opportunity to announce that BitcoinMonkey.com is going PUBLIC!



Main highlights of our Public Beta Test:

• Dedicated hardware on a full 100Mbps link
• Long-Polling
• Proportional payout with 0% fee during Beta
• Automatic payouts
• Graphical pool speed statistics

Many features are also in the works.  So what are you waiting for?  Sign up and start flinging your hashes our way!

We are going to need more information, such as what type of cards you have and what your clock speeds are at (over time).  It would be nice to see what your temps and fan speeds are after it slows down as well.  Also, set your aggression at 11 and don't touch it.

And we are back online!  Looks like a network switch in the DC failed.  This is the only trace I see in my log files:


Haven't had announcement from our DC yet, but I might expect another outage or 2 if they are swapping equipment.

Experiencing an outage right now.  Looks like our datacenter might be down internally, as I can't even connect to our backup "KVM" (DRAC) server.  I will post updates here.

Noitev, how much acid were you on when you made your signature?

Have you tried compiling libjansson from source?  Sometimes a PPA cannot be trusted, it's not part of the official tree.
