My miners  have been getting steadily worse. I'm pretty sure the problem is not on my end as it's happening in two different mining shops.

Definitely noticing way more issues lately than I have in the past.

Any updates on this front Slush?

[allinvain]

This is getting rather annoying. Miners go from low to OK in the space of a few minutes. I guess I'll try send them a support e-mail too than.

The start times for the light and back. There are several reasons which might explain that.  The first thing that comes to mind is fucking DDOS attack. The other could be  the lack of server capacity to accommodate all miners involved.

Slush support guy says that they are not aware of any issues on their end:

Hello,

unfortunately we don't have any US server issues reported. I can see in our database that your hash rate drops last only for a short period of time and your scoring hash rate is stable , therefore it has no effect on your rewards (thanks to our moving-average based reward system).

However, there might be some internet connection issues which cause these problems. There are not many similar issues from our customers, however, they show from time to time and usually it is caused by worse internet connection or some error in the miner.

You can lower your alert limit to avoid these notifications or you can also try co connect the problematic miners to another server to see if there is any change.

I guess I'll have to try using their main stratum.slushpool.com address and see if the same thing happens.

Sometimes disruptions go from DNS servers. I've gotten over it too many times  And all I did was the replacement of  the pool URL with its IP address. Try the same. May help.

I'm seeing the same behavior with my miners at a data center on the west coast. It's very annoying. Woke up to a ton of alert emails this morning.

The URL I'm using is: stratum+tcp://us-east.stratum.slushpool.com:3333

Obviously this is affecting a number of us. Either they're wrong and there is a problem on their end, or maybe some sort of general routing problem between us and them.

[allinvain]

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I just let their support tech know that others having the same issue. I asked him if he needs some traceroute copy and paste txt so if he says yes maybe it would help if you send one as well.

[Par Avion]

There is 100% an issue.

Something is going on with this. PLEASE look into this asap.

[SlushPool official]

There was an issue with Stratum proxy that should be fully resolved by now. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you still have any issues.

[comby]

Still have problems with any slush server.

OR is slush kicking machines connecting from miningrigrental?

Please let us know if you still have any issues.

After this post everything seemed to return to normal for two hours, but now again big drops in hashrate.

I'm using the EU server.

[allinvain]

Thanks Slush team! I'm pretty sure the issue is resolved. I haven't seen a miner hashrate drop notification since an hour ago so all should be well going forward.

[allinvain]

Ok, I take that back lol. It's still happening:

My antminer R4 connected to slush is doing fine, but I cant connect my rpi3 gekko set up to it at all. Keep getting the pool failed alive testing error in CGminer.

Weird. Make sure you have the correct stratum server address. Are you able to traceroute or ping the pool address from the rpi3?

[zachj00]

Have tried all slush URLs and none wanted to work for me.  Used an antpool URL with a random username and got it hashing right away. TBH, im not sure what you mean by traceroute/ping it.

Open a command prompt from a machine on the same subnet as the miner and run "tracert us-east.stratum.slushpool.com " . You can google "how to trace route" .

[zachj00]

I got it to work by just using stratum.slushpool.com:3333 for the URL

Not really sure what was going on.

Issue does not seem to be resolved.
