[0Th]Ozcoin Pooled Mining |DGM 1%|Stratum+VarDiff port 80|NEW CN mining|

[Blaksmith]

Getting miner idle alerts mining on US.OZCO.IN.  Miners are hashing away just fine and shares are being accepted it appears
Just saying in case it helps or matters. CGMiner 2.11.2 on all systems.

Hoping I am actually getting credit though.. I should go look

I have been looking into the issue the last 2 days, and I have found some of the problems with it.. All shares are accounted for, just some major delays, and I'm still digging to ease up some of these delays.

Just an update.  I have found a few more ways to ease up the delays in the core of the shares accounting section.  I do believe that I have gotten the idle worker notification issue resolved for the time being. 

Please let us know if there are any more notifications that go out when your miner is still working perfectly fine.

Thought the issue was resolved for now, but apparently not... I just saw a few notifications go out again.... Still working on it

cheers Blaksmith


just something of interest

latencies are rather high around USA atm and between USA and Australia - this will affect Ozcoin's site loading time as well as mining - this is just one example of things that are out of the control of pool operators

Ok, well, they say the 3rd time's a charm.. so, let's hope that this 3rd time of tweaking fixes it!  You may have gotten a few extra notices since my last post on this issue, but things are looking a bit more sane on the delay issues in the db.

Cheers,

I found strange prevhash in logs of my miner

Code:

000000000000024707121ff9ca5ff5dde6edef1928a0d2369bebaceb7a7846a7

but I can't find any info about this block. Your pool provide this prevhash in works for my miner. Can you try to find any info about this block in your blocks history?

I can not say for sure, but I think it happened at the beginning of last week. Unfortunately, the logs is not available.

There was a major blockchain split near the beginning of last week, if it happened during this time I cannot help
I will see if we can find anything

Later, I will be able to find a more precise time. Thanks for your response!

We are checking
which mining node do you use - will make investigating easier if we know

[Graet]

bitcoind version 0.8.1 is available for pools to update
Over the next 24 hours we will go around the mining nodes 1 by one doing updates, not sure on exact timing yet
downtime will be kept to  a minimum but as always I encourage miners to set a separate Ozcoin node as 1st failover

[Graet]

 au.ozco.in is updated
eustratum is updated
stratum.ozco.in is updated
us.ozco.in is updated

ecoinpool/getwork servers will be patched sometime over next 24hours

non mining bitcoind will also need updates, this will affect stats and possibly payout for a short time - will update eta

[Graet]

It's been good to us but everything has it's time
ecoinpool servers cannot be patched without help from the author

ecoinpool servers also make version one blocks
block.version=1 blocks will all be orphaned soon
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=154521.0

For these reasons getwork will be turned off on Saturday
This also means merged mining of Namecoin will cease

Please move to mining software that supports stratum or setup a stratum proxy to use mining software that does not support stratum
Mining urls are listed on Worker page on site

Thank you
Graet

Hi Graet, can I still connect to Ozcoin with BTCMiner after the ecoinpool servers shut down?  Not interested in a stratum proxy but would like to stay with Ozcoin if I can.  Not sure if we would get statum support with BTCMiner/ztex anytime soon...

You won't be able to without a Stratum proxy.  However, is there any reason you don't want to use one?  I stopped mining on GPUs back in 2011, but I have 10 ztex 1.15x boards which run on a Stratum proxy flawlessly, starting just a few hours after Stratum was publicly revealed.

What is happening with stratum server? My miners have hiccup. Few times in last few hours I've been disconnected Thank god that cgminer can switch to spare server...

Which stratum server are you using?

I'm using stratum.ozco.in and it seems to have been stable here.

I applaud this smart, bold decision.  Is it safe to assume that any remaining NMC balances will be paid out per profile settings or would you like users to do something specific?

eustratum server had an issue, just restarted mining

98% of users that merge mine autoconvert NMC to BTC, if anyone actually being paid out NMC is stuck under threshold I can sort that out if contacted

Good to hear. Last 3 hours are stable
