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

[felente]

You know, I don't see a lot of thanks going to slush for operating this pool.

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.

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.

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

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

Good to go now. F5

Yes, there was a glitch in processing block rewards. It is fixed now.

Thanks Slushy

[slush]

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.

The pool uptime is more than 99.9% all days, for 2.5 years. Well, except few DDoS issues year ago. Can you be more specific about your downtimes? Logs, pings to the server at the downtime etc, so we can see hard data?

Edit: To be exact, Stratum interface was down for total 3 minutes since September 2012, regards to statistics from external monitoring service. If you are using getwork, that is another story, I don't maintain Getwork interface for pretty long time, as I announced months ago and as says huge red box on pool profile. Getwork still works, but it is flaky.

[slush]

statistics page seems out of whack for me looks like 0 stratum and 7777 getwork connections

Yes, these numbers sometimes displays wrong numbers (i.e. "0"). I need to rewrite that backend stuff, but it has almost zero priority, it is just a display glitch.

As I wrote you to PM, pool blocked you because flooding traffic coming from your IP. It indicates some problems with your miner. Please update to Stratum (or use Stratum proxy) to prevent flooding the pool. stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 will work for you if you'll setup Stratum miner.

[jerethdaminer]

thanks for letting me know slush

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.

I used google cache just yesterday to get the updated mother, it's just a perl script. If you can't get it that way I can probably pm it to you or something. If you just copy and paste the lines from that thread on the upgrade it'll work (or it did for me)

3 minites down time since September. thats un acceptable.. /s

no actually thats pretty damn amazing ive seen milion dollar companys with flakier service, me thinks ill be mining in your pool tell the end so long as im welcome

[Sharky444]

I've installed namecoind, created a bitcoin.conf with user and pwd, started the daemon which downloaded all blocks, then retrieved my address and entered it into the mining.bitcoin.cz account.

Is there anything else I must do to start the namecoin mining?

What is the username and password for?

Apparently slush's pool no longer supports merged mining according to "fourd00rgtz"?

See this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976.msg1764838#msg1764838

Try this pool for stratum based merged mining: http://mmpool.bitparking.com/pool

At namecoin's current difficulty level (seen here: http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php ) it is going to be a long time until you mine a namecoin block going it alone unless you have an ASIC handy.

Thanks! I still don't know what is the username/pwd I had to create in bitcoin.conf for. Where to enter it?

[jade087]

I would really love to see Namecoin merged mining come back soon on stratum interface. FWIW I use Namecoins to register .bit domains and there is a lot of attention and activity in the Namecoin space recently... I might have to switch to another pool.

[slush]

Well, except few DDoS issues year ago

Somebody mentioned DDoS a day ago? It's here!

Ok, I'm working on it.

[slush]

Well, probably not a DDoS, just some weird issue on server. Seems to be fixed, I'll watch it closely for some time...

Edit: I also fixed that displaying bug in "Stratum connections" on Statistics page.

[Xenotron]

There will be no complains and/or requests to Slush in this post.
Just wish to say "Thanks" to him. For all his terrific work and swift reaction.
