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

[Evan]

It was down, and is back up now.

I still have random clients I have blocked by the Host... this really needs to be looked at I am loosing about 1:6 of my clients to this phantom issue.


AFTER EXSTENSIVE TESTING...


SLUSH DOES AN ACCOUNT HAVE A HARD LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF CONNECTIONS?? ?

am new can someone look at this and tell me if im right

and is cpu worth it

trying to set up a cpu mine   when i click start bothing happens

any help would be much appreciated

[Richy_T]

CPU mining is pretty pointless at this point. In fact, it's even negative for me on my quad-core amd as it slows my gpu hash-rate.

[felente]

and is cpu worth it

absolutely not worth. only wasting of electricity (=cpu wattage)

...it slows my gpu hash-rate.

and that too

Hi,

I've got some translation suggestions for Dutch language selection;

Under "My account"
"Threshold om te versturen" -> "Uitbetalen bij"
"Coins zullen verzonden worden eens de beloning de over de threshold gaat" -> "Coins zullen worden uitbetaald zodra de totale beloning over de ingestelde drempel gaat"
"Ongeconfirmeerde beloning -> "Onbevestigde beloning"
"Beloning in afwachting zijnde van ongeconfirmeerde blokken" -> "Beloning in afwachting van onbevestigde blokken"
"Geconfirmeerde beloning" -> "Bevestigde beloning"
"Uw geconfirmeerde balans van geldige blokken" -> "Bevestigde balans op basis van geldige blokken"
"Ongeconfirmeerde + geconfirmeerde beloning" -> "Onbevestigde + bevestigde beloning"

For list of workers (table)
"Log in" -> "Gebruikersnaam"
"Suggested difficulty" -> "Voorgestelde moeilijkheidsgraad"
"Editeer" -> "Aanpassen"
"Verwijder" -> "Verwijderen"

Slush - your website is down again.  No server response.

Yes, webserver died without any obvious reason. I was AFK, but I fixed the issue in ~20 minutes.

[slush]

Pool is Dead?

No. What's your IP? I recently added many of IPs flooding the pool to the blacklist...

[slush]

Still randomly getting some of my machines blocked by the pool.

Oh, I didn't imagine you have so many miners. Yes, there's hard limit of 20 connections from single IP as a prevention to DoS. There's *really* no reason to not use stratum mining proxy for such big operation.

Is there a fix or a work around???

Yes, install stratum mining proxy and point all your miners to that IP.

[slush]

Hi, at https://mining.bitcoin.cz/ you forgot to update the url

Not absolutely correct. Stratum url in news is fine. However people don't understand what Getwork/Stratum is, so it is easier to point all them to api.bitcoin.cz and if their miners support Stratum, they will be redirected.

Unfortnuately I have many users who pointed getwork miner directly to stratum api and even after many days they didn't realized that their miner isn't working.

Is there a problem with the last block 17489? I was connected and hashing for the whole time and it is reporting no shares for it after two hours.

[VishwaJay]

You know, I don't see a lot of thanks going to slush for operating this pool. I just wanted to express my gratitude today. And though my miners aren't very quick, the two that I have operate more or less within expectations.

I have only two machines, and both specifically use slush's pool and only slush's pool. I occasionally have to take the faster machine for work, but when I get home, it's working.

The pool does occasionally go down, but nobody can realistically expect 100% uptime. That's why God gave us server redundancy. But that costs money.

This is why I would like to humbly suggest to slush that there be an optional setting within the user's parameters to add an additional percentage of the work as a donation, so as to help with mirroring and redundancy so as to prevent (or at least minimalise) down-time. Even with today's exchange prices, such a server setup is likely to cost in the 20 BTC range per year, and will require a lot of time and attention. Money is merely a fact of life. So to donate a little extra, I would like to ask that this be added as a parameter on each account, to donate an additional floating-point decimal amount at cash-out.

I realize that there is already plenty of money flowing right now, but perhaps slush could afford (with an extra couple of percents) to hire someone where he lives to monitor the pools at night, to get some rest and allow the pools to be in the hands of someone else for a few hours (someone slush picks and trains local to himself, so that he can slap their head if they mess up, etc.). This would benefit everyone in the pool by allowing 24-hour responsiveness and giving slush a break every so often.

I also have a problem with this, slush usually fixes it after a few hours. It's usually just a database glitch and requires only a recompile of database stats.

Im using BAMT and the old getwork protocol.  What would be the easiest way to get this stratum compatible?  

The proxy?  I tried that when it came out, but I couldn't get it to work.  I tried to put it on a windows machine and then point all my BAMT machines to the proxy, but that didnt work.  After some more reading this morning I realize that I need to install it on each BAMT machine.  Is this the case?  Im not sure how to do that...  I found some posts saying that it doesnt work well with BAMT.

I could also try to upgrade my miner in BAMT right?  I found some instructions here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127622.0 but that is a bit over my head.  Also, the link for the replacement mother doesnt seem to be working.

I'm guessing putting the proxy on each BAMT machine would be the easiest way out for me.  Any tips on how to do that?  I am a novice user.

[jerethdaminer]

statistics page seems out of whack for me looks like 0 stratum and 7777 getwork connections, also the table isnt listing my account shares and such per blook ? ideas

It shows the same for me for some reason Pretty sure I have some shares in that block

[felente]

have read the whole thread over time and there ARE lot of people thankful to Slush, but yes, did not seen some thanks in last time...
I appreciate VishwaJay's initiative and would like to join him.

that's really good pool with very kind operator.
thanks.

yes, there is a problem - i have a lot shares there too, and sure it will be corrected soon.
