In other news a 5Th/s miner has ramped up to > 15Th and a couple of other bigger miners have joined - pool hashrate has jumped

[-Redacted-]

Wow - pool has jumped to 36 Gh/s - quite a bit higher than it was the last time I mined here!  Guess I'll give it another go on Oz...

Hell ya!

On another note, my miners are still hashing away, and cgminer says the pools are alive, but I'm getting idle worker notifications, and the widget is showing everything has offline. Pool hashrate as 0. I'm assuming the server has gone down again, but mining will resume?

yep, bitcoind got stuck this time, rebooted the offending server, good news is we found  BLOCK: 255742 despite it
stats should be coming back now

[-Redacted-]

Same thing to report - pool doesn't seem to be counting my shares....

[Graet]

at the time the bitcoind stuck some kind soul
<ozbot> This round pxxxx has 748788 shares (220077948 stales; 29391.223%),
flooded us with stales, if not for the timing it wouldnt have been an issue.
db is chewing its way thru, stats will return, mining is ok and shares will be counted in turn
apologies for the inconvenience

[-Redacted-]

Wow - that's got to be some kind of record - 29,000% + stales.  He must have been saving them up for a week....

[Graet]

yeah its ugly, still trying to bash stuff back into shape
good news is BLOCK: 255757 came along despite it all

[Graet]

running some updates on www/db server completed

Payout threshold reduced to 0.01BTC to help smaller miners.
Please be aware lowering payout threshold below 0.1BTC will likely incur higher fees when you go to spend your coins.

Nice touch!

Edit:
Why does payout threshold still say this when I log in?:

Payout Threshold:    0.10000000 BTC

Will this be corrected?

Did you change it yourself and then it changed itself back? Or were you expecting it to automatically reduce itself to 0.01?

Oh, I thought it would be adjusted automatically. Did it myself, thanks.

Does Ozcoin support GBT protocol (GetBlockTemplate)?  According to Wikipedia, it doesn't

No, we prefer the stratum mining protocol.

AU mining node down while bitcoind reindexes after a crash
seems there is corruption somewhere in the blockchain, this has affected quite a few people now, Bitcoin devs are aware and looking for the issue

[-Redacted-]

Yes, my bitcoin (8.4-beta) wallet just announced that my block chain was corrupt and started re-indexing the whole thing...

gmaxwell has a patch out for testing https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2982
short term fix is: specify the command-line or configuration file argument -checklevel=2  to Bitcoind or Bitcoin-qt.
reindex will not fix it, but once started you will need to wait for reindex to finish.
above from Devs

Edit: AU mining node back online
AU mining node ongoing issues
We are stopping mining on au.ozco.in until we can make it stable, sorry for any inconvenience

[Graet]

found a new server and host for AU mining node, will be moving over next couple of days
also upgrading DB/www server over the weekend
downtime will be minimal
cheers
