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

[John (John K.)]

PS: I think the server is down. I can't reach it.

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.

Bump? Suggest stratum + share rate of up to 24/min. Would be nice to mine here once again, but at 50 times the reject rate of a modernised pool, I'm finding it hard to justify. (2% stales on mtred versus .04% on ozcoin)

I'd like to second this request. I'd really like to mine here again too.

Startum proxy will come up soon, and hopefully MM after that. I getting ready for a big push of code. New web server is mostly up and running, we will switch web first. Mining will remain on main for a few week after, but will be migrated to new servers as well.








I wanted this out on new years, but you know how crazy holidays can get.  Sometime early in 2013 will switch. And stratum, followed my mm.

Nice! Can't wait, RR!

The ISP of pa.mtred.com is telling me (and i'm seeing it as well) that they are experience some datacenter problems and want to migrate us to an Atlanta DC. I will be working with them to get us migrated asap.

New PA Server: 199.101.100.218

New PA Server: 199.101.100.218

Getting high stales on PA serve. I switched to it to test it. Been about 15 hours. 3.6%

[jddebug]

Hows it looking for Stratum support? That should solve the issues I have so i can mine here again.

Same here. I love Mtred but wasn't here for 3 months just because of high stales 

[ssateneth]

Just updated my picture of PA. Still 3.6% rejects. Switching back to beta. BTW my miners on beta pool have had rejects jump up from 0.8% to 1.2%. I restarted one miner in hopes of getting 0.8% or lower back, but here is a picture of beta pool for the last 12 days @ 3ghash from a different miner.

Can't mine anymore, Mt.Red down? what's going on?

yeah I'm done with Red; when I mine all night with RPC and I login it doesn't have any rewards for last 24hours

I've been using MT.Red for the last 3 days OK, then all I am getting today is :-

Then I failover to my backup pool.

Anyone know whats up with MT.Red ?

Their own forums last post was 17 days ago !

I noticed one weird thing.
Sometimes the pool goes down for hours and when is again up (although I see other users connected) I cannot connect my workers again no matter what I do.
However, if i delete my workers and create them back (using the very same name and password) the pool promptly accepts me back.

I do not mind about pool being down sometimes, I have backup pools for that.
For a single_pool rig MtRed would be terrible, but for a rig with backup pools is just fine.

[ssateneth]

pa.mtred.com was available just fine during the outtage. I did not lose connectivity to the mtred pool. You just need to make sure your backups are set up correctly

Had no idea, thanks. I am using only Beta though...the other two (Main/PA) are giving me too many rejects.

[maunderingcabal]

They need to change the title to this thread, take out the merged mining part. Does anyone get NMC from this? I'm not.

As for reliability, every just SET UP A BACKUP POOL. It seems like most pools tend to go down at some point.

Stratum test on pa.mtred.com:3333

From what i've seen its looking very performant, give it a test and let me know.
