poclbm is mining but gives this error continually

I agree, please include a sum of worker hash rate on dashboard...

Not ok... continues to happen.

Not sure if it's pool problem or poclbm one https://github.com/m0mchil/poclbm/issues/18

[Keninishna]

Has anyone else been having trouble connecting to mtred? Past few days guiminer runs for hours then randomly stops and sits at connecting...

[pdawg]

Running fine the last 24 hrs. On linux...

[fxgmblr]

is the US server down right now?? i can't connect!

[fxgmblr]

yay its up, were back in business!

[Mousepotato]

Is MtRed having issues right now?  Pool rate dropped below 50GH/s.

We have been experience the 'attacks' of large botnets that have been plaguing other pools.

I'm pretty much living in the term of the server making sure its crank full speed. 

Work for a new architecture outside of pushpool has begun and I look forward to releasing our own version of pushpool soon.

[Stupidpal]

Best. Pool. Ever. 

[redditorrex]

Best. Pool. Ever. 

I can confirm this statement.

[Mousepotato]

Man, this latest round is brutal.

[redditorrex]

Man, this latest round is brutal.

Yea that one was long. But we still hit 3 today.

But you know how lady luck favors RED.

[Stupidpal]

That must have been the shortest block ever.

I was working out some numbers and thought that I would share. I worked out the average time it is taking this pool to solve a block at each difficulty. I only went back as far as Duration was listed under "Found blocks".

Code:

current difficulty 135072 (still ongoing - Next Difficulty in 1006 blocks)
5.568678161 hours for 29 blocks from 135110 (7/7/11 04:36am) to 136058 (13/7/11 11:14am)

last difficulty 133056
5.598598485 hours for 44 blocks from 133151 (25/6/11 03:34am) to 135052 (6/7/11 05:45pm)

Don't look at the above times and cringe, it make no difference what pool you are in. If they are solving on average one block every 20 minutes (microscopic payouts) or one every 2 days (larger payouts), you will end up being paid the same (excluding fees, donations and minimum balance for payout).

It may be that this pool is lucky at the moment and solving blocks faster than it was at the last difficulty, but it is more likely due to the Ghash/sec growing because new members are joining.

[Mousepotato]

Woohoo!  Blocks are now clickable from https://www.mtred.com/blocks.html!  Thanks! 

And dammit, I bailed on the last block at 11hrs.. then a few minutes later the block is solved, followed by another one 18 minutes later.  FML!

That isn't true.  Moving pools when one gets unlucky is very smart.  I started at deepbit until it stopped making me as much as I should be making.  Jumped over to bitcoins.lc and made WAY more than I should be making for several weeks.  Then it started to get really unlucky.  Jumped to MtRed for 2 weeks making way more than bitcoins.lc would have made (i monitored it daily).  Dumped MtRed a few days ago and went back to deepbit and so far have outperformed MtRed everyday since the move.  Sticking with a single pool is a good way to lower your efficiency.  

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love MtRed because of the awesome features, but I go where the bitcoins be flowin.
