[CLOSED] MtRed (PPS, LP+, API, 0 FEE) STRATUM on mine.mtred.com:3333

[phantitox]

this pool block gpumax users? i got a few miners offline , the console show me this

2012-10-10 00:06:06: Listener for "test1": MSG: upstream error upstream EUNHEALTHY
2012-10-10 00:06:06: Listener for "test1": [10/10/2012 00:06:06] Failed to connect, retrying...

every other pool works good but mtred show me this , and this is from a few days ago , since the last downtime of the pool. any ideas?

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.

The silence suggests mtred may go the way of arsbitcoin...

Thought I would try this pool out.

I've got numbers showing up in the dashboard for Bitcoin but all zeros for Namecoin. Is merged mining not working?

[Bitinvestor]

Is merged mining not working?

Nope, not for 109 days.

I'm tethering from my phone here, just credited the orphan.  New (and old feature ie mm) engineering will begin again soon. Been busy, moving around, new jobs, yadda yadda yadda.

Great to hear that. MtRed rocks.

Awesome stuff!

I suggest stratum + variable diff with an upper limit of 20 shares per minute since the groundwork for what constitutes a scaleable yet tolerable variance has been done by other pool ops.

I agree.... LOL @ Luke-Jr ...

Problem with multiple workers #627 solved. Newly created workers doesn't work on pa.mtred.com and work perfectly on mtred.com.

Merged mining working @ Mt Red? Didn't seem to be on my last visit.

No, and they really should change their website where they say they offer it.   

[arklan]

site been having trouble today? had a load of rejects the last while, and it's currently down entirely.

[AndrewBUD]

Not for me.

I do not know what is wrong with mtred site ... for the last round I have about 8000 successfully submitted works but now when the block was solved I see only 15 (yes fifteen) from all ~8000 listed for my account on the last solved block.

redditorrex, please check what is wrong ... I hope it is just a displaying issue. I posted the issue here because I was not able to create an account on reddit.com (the captcha does not work)

My work log for the last block on your pool show the following:

Pool: MtRed (mtred.com & pa.mtred.com)
Getwork requests: 621
Submitted solutions: 8052
Accepted solutions: 7965
Rejected solutions: 87

It looks like (to me) that PA is not syncing back to the site. I've been mining mostly on PA, and none of those shares are showing up, only when MPBM submits shares for main pool work does it show up on the site. (and then I get a miner offline when it switches back to PA)

[JakeTri]

It may be the case that PA is not syncing back to the main site but I'm still waiting to see that sync restored and all submitted jobs credited to my account ....

For now, I'll avoid using MtRed pool just in case ....

[AndrewBUD]

why not avoid using the pa server?

[JakeTri]

why not avoid using the pa server?

Mainly because I do not know if PA sync is the root cause of the issue. After it is confirm I'll avoid PA server but until then I'll avoid MtRed as a pool.

[AndrewBUD]

I have only used the main server and have never had any issues.. I always compare the site stats to my API stats... Never had any problems.... Some downtime but never a discrepancy on shares counted
