Old simplecoin thread

[sirky]

I just refreshed the stats page, and my round shares dropped from 300,000+ to 189,892!?! And, stales went from 2% to 3.3%
What's up with that?

Edit:
Now my lifetime shares dropped from 444,000ish to 328,000!!!

You solved a block! Good job!

Congrats on the block! any chance you deleted a worker? That should be the only way to lose shares currently. If you remake the worker you will see them again.

(went and checked!)
I thought you guys were BSing!
Sweet!!! That's my first, out of 2,000,000+ shares!  

I forgot! I think I saw that earlier in the thread! Re-making now!
Thanks!


EDIT:
Oh yeah!  WOOO!

Woot! Grats! We needed that one

I thought my replication server could handle the load of stats. Since it can't, I think I'm going to up the processor 8x. In fact, I may just upgrade all the servers...

So yes, the site is timing out, pool is still up.... I'll have it up again shortly.

UPDATE: It's up. Bonus 2btc paid sent!

Thanks, I'll take you up on that soon. Gotta get some sleep now though.

Another 1BTC bonus for the next round!

[sirky]

Woot!

More behind the scenes tuning. Website response just keeps getting better.

I'd still like to move the main sql server off the website/pool/btc server, but that would be about 15-30 minutes downtime.

So, going forward: It seems the cheat-proof method is no longer the payout-method du jour.

Would anyone prefer Max-PPS, or PayPerLastNShares to the current implementation?

*MPPS is a terrible method.

PayPerLastNShares is much better, and cheat-proof, so I would prefer that!

The only downfall to maxpps I see is slower payout and a larger balance in the site wallet.

That said, I've posted a discussion on the simplecoin forum if anyone wants to weigh in there.

Looks like my godaddy dns server just took a dump....

Use 74.117.57.70 if you cannot resolve simplecoin.us.

I have a ticket in, but I'm not sure what godaddy's response time is.

Read this thread, especially around the second and third pages: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=27698.0

I wish you didn't have to log into simplecoin and then log in again to the forum

I understand... That said... I'm close to pulling the trigger on a bigger server. I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle the load. Migrate sql or pushpool/bitcoin to the box with more cores... which will benefit more...

On on hand mysql could run more efficiently, on the other pushpool/bitcoin might announce slightly faster and require zero downtime..

I may just hang on to the older server for the forums, menial tasks and backups.

Any reason that you can see that the server load indicator seems to randomly move between high, mid, and low?

Yes, it's almost realtime. whenever a huge mysql query or new block loads up the processor for a second or two it captures the stressed load. That said, I need to recalibrate what I consider low/mid/high/critical. Currently critical doesn't even cause site or pool lag.

Also, got my new miner, aka beast online. tuning it now for speed and sound. Using the auto-temp clocking script to ensure max hashrate.

I was just about to ask that!
Nice!

No more top spot for me!
