[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

[Littleshop]

Hey guys I'm new to the pool. Mining with a GTX 650 at a whopping 14MH/z. Just getting to grips with everything and thought I'd stop by and said hey!

While I am not a litecoin fan yet, mining litecoin and selling them for BTC will yield you far more due to your nvidia card. Look into it.

I can not see the pool.

Yup. He said he was going down for maintenance before he went down completely.  The notice said that mining would continue on the back end - this downtime is only related to growing his website's load-handling capability.  He also said there'd be updates here. I'm sure we'll see something when he's not in the middle of whatever he's doing, yes? 

Also (correct me if i am wrong slush) i believe if there is too much load or too many simultaneous requests for the website or other load problems it will give that maintenance page intermittently..

I'm having hard time connecting with stratum. CGminer (2.11.3;2.11.4) says pool slow/down.

THere has been a huge increase in load on the pool recently and slush is doing some upgrades so this will occur occassionally until he gets it sorted out.  He is usually very quick with this..

Oh, so it's not just me. Thanks!

Thank GOD someone admited there was a problem.. I was starting to freak out here

I'm migrating the database right now. Website is off, pool will be just restarted in few minutes.

I'll set minimal threshold back to 0.01. Considering current rise in price, threshold 0.05 is quite big for common users...

Love you bro

[Lucko]

Slush did you consider punting NMC(and maybe some other coins that can bi mined together) on stratum? Or is that impossible? And please consider LTC(coming ASIC domination)... I can't find pool that I like but I love your system(stable and nice user interface).

[jerethdaminer]

thanks

im only a little prospecter but i do love the feel of your nice community driven pool

[slush]

Fine, so the database is migrated. One reboot of stratum backend was enough, as expected. Current average load on database: 0.00 0.04 0.13  .... pretty nice :-)

Unfortunately the website is stil f***ing slow, because now the website is on different datacenter and there's some latency between website and db. I'll eventually fix this by moving website to the same datacenter.

reset pw doesnt work for a day  now. anytime soon ?

[slush]

Oh, and the minimum payout threshold is now 0.01, enjoy :-).

I'm still getting the "No connections could be made because the target machine actively refused it" error in guiminer

It's only when I use it through my vpn, which I consider essential for using the internet.  Why is my VPN fucking this up?

I downloaded the latest guiminer before I made this post and am still getting the error.

Slush? You around bro?  Any idea how I can fix this?

I'm pretty sure it starts hashing automatically after a few minutes of getting the error.  I'll report back.

Add this in the server.ini of guiminer.

restart guiminer, Try the alt server. All your setting should be there still.

Code:

        {
            "balance_host": "mining.bitcoin.cz", 
            "balance_token_url": "http://mining.bitcoin.cz/accounts/token-manage/", 
            "balance_url": "/accounts/profile/json/%s", 
            "host": "stratum.bitcoin.cz", 
            "name": "slush's pool(IPv6/alt)", 
            "port": 3333, 
            "url": "http://mining.bitcoin.cz"
        }, 

This seems to be my issue but I am NOT using GUI miner I am doing this command line:

"C:\Users\Liquid Silver\Dropbox\Hashing\guiminer\miners\Coin\coin-miner.exe" -u Galaxy -p 1234 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

Also tried: -o stratum+tcp://api-stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

I guess nobody knows the answer to this problem.

[slush]

I guess nobody knows the answer to this problem.

Does it happen everytime or just time to time? Looks like your IP is blacklisted on the server for some reason. Can you PM me your IP?

[luffy]

cgminer reports half of the utility i have in other pools.
 Moreover avalon hashrate is reported in the site the half of the actual! 
i use stratum with merge NMC

Thats kind of worrisome. A lot of people pulling coins out of exchanges?

[Xenotron]

Slush, is there any reason that Graphs show values only up to 9th of April?

Not a very common occurrence. Nothing to worry about.
