Do we need to sacrifice a lamb to get out from under this bad luck?

[Bitinvestor]

And it's gone! You just have to complain a little.

All I can say is check your miner settings and make sure you're not logging in with the wrong credentials, if that doesn't work, delete the workers and try again, but use completely different usernames.

Doesn't work. Will use single worker.

Whoa!!! We made it!!!

I sent over a few Gh/s to help get over the hump.  Even though I don't use Mt. Red Anymore, it's still by far my favorite pool.   

[Tomatocage]

MtRed! y u no MM???

[Sant001]

Instant payouts not available?

[Sant001]

Both mtred.com and pa.mtred.com off-line here   

[keewee]

Both mtred.com and pa.mtred.com off-line here   

Here too. Any news?

[AndrewBUD]

Yeah it's down.... Hopefully it comes back soon....


Damn site is down.. I need those coins

[Sant001]

I've decided to myself that this pool is too good to be true.

Free PPS pool? Sorry, not possible. Moving on.

[Shadow383]

Site's totally down for me right now, has been all day by the look of things 

[AndrewBUD]

Yeah it's Thanksgiving today in Canada so I would assume it will be back up tomorrow.

It is supported by donations instead of fees. The uptime isn't perfect, but it is zero fee.

I've been mining and donating and happy with mtred for quite a while, and I know there is only limited time to dedicate to this pool. However I'd like to ask if there are plans to modernise it in light of likely upcoming changes to the bitcoin mining scene at large? Specifically if stratum support and higher difficulty shares would be considered, as the current hardware seems to struggle under the existing load and with a huge boost in hashrate it cannot be reasonably expected to survive. These 2 changes would likely make it survive 10x the hashrate without any change to the hardware.

[AndrewBUD]

Is there much difficulty when adding stratum support to a pool?


I like the changes in the newest cgminer for native Stratum support

I second that emotion.  Stratum has spoiled me and there's no going backwards to olde-timey getworks.

At this stage, likely the mtred pool software does not has native support for it, nor is there any code to draw it from, so it would need to actually be written (slush and btcguild use different pool software).

Thanks I like the principle behind stratum, and although it's been a lot of work, and probably still a bit rough around the edges, I can only see it as positive going forward for pooled mining.
