[40+ PH] SlushPool (slushpool.com); World's First Mining Pool

[ewitte]

What is the longest round you've seen? And I mean when the pool is at normal capacity...

Here's two back to back 5hr rounds just before I joined the pool:

17325    2013-04-07 10:49:25    5:05:30    30603679    none    none    230105    25.35777321    confirmed
17324    2013-04-07 05:43:55    5:09:28    31541022    none    none    230072    25.06230000    confirmed

I've seen several over 8 may have been a 12 in there.  Was unstable a few weeks wasn't looking all that closely.

they all balance out.

last week we had a 10s block and then 2 or 3 later a 2s block.

[jerethdaminer]

not when you get no shares in said 10 second block

[Lanidarc]

they all balance out.

last week we had a 10s block and then 2 or 3 later a 2s block.

Yea I totally remember that! I managed to get 1 single share in each of those -- got a whole fat bit-cent for one of them!

I'm using cgminer 2.11.3, 2.11.4 and 2.10.5 on several rigs.
I assume that using http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 should autoswitch me over to the stratum port. And it appears that in the past that was always the case.
Has something changed recently?  When I logged into my account today, the profile page had a big warning about my miners connecting via getwork.

Do I now have to force port 3333? is 8332 only getwork?

[nybbler905]

I just migrated pool to another datacentre (longer story later...). There are three loadbalancers behind every of following DNS:

stratum.bitcoin.cz
stratum2.bitcoin.cz
stratum3.bitcoin.cz

So nine machines are filtering the traffic right now. Balancers behind stratum.bitcoin.cz seems to be dead from the attack, but time to time I see some accepted connection. Once the connection is established, it will be kept by the balancer (that's nice advantage of Stratum protocol).

Please try these URLs in your miners, some of them will, at least after few tries, work for you.

some one may want to copy this in to a sticky some place.... the Stratum servers ( yes plural ) have changed and yes Port 3333 and not any thing else for Stratum ( getwork will cost ya 10% fee otherwise )

[PetrovMichael]

... before APR 16 i saw access time [73ms] [78ms]...

I'm keeping all this very seriously...

Slush, thank you ! today much better [62ms] [77ms] max [78ms]

During the recent DDOS I switched to BTCGuild for a while. I'm back here now. One feature that they have which is pretty nice is the "Inactive Miner Notification". It sends an e-mail when a miner becomes inactive for over x minutes. Any chance of having a similar feature in this pool?

[joolzg]

also Slush whats the reason for 100 confirmations before earnings become confirmed?

Yes, soon.

Hey, can you make stratum proxy compatible with python 2.4.3?

Python 2.4.3 is quite obsolete now and I have no plans for adding support for 2.4 branch. However I'll accept patches adding compatibility with older versions.

[slush]

also Slush whats the reason for 100 confirmations before earnings become confirmed?

100 confirmations for block maturity is one of basic bitcoin rules. I cannot move coins which are "locked" in unmatured blocks.

im using gui miner and i want to mine with cudaminer but i cant any suggestion why??(my gpu is gt 440).for now i mining with opencl just fine...

There's not much reason to make that move with that card. You won't get any performance boost.

You should read this thread:

Thanks Slush for getting the pool back up!  

Given all the DDoS and the surge in new users, have you ever changed C in the score-based reward algorithms or has it remained to be 300?

[ntgrac]

Approx. cluster performance (30 min average):    9048.284 Ghash/s

Very good work slush.

[Oktoberfest]

Alright, great you've got it back up! Good work slush!
Question though...

Is it alright to use any three of these still?

stratum.bitcoin.cz
stratum2.bitcoin.cz
stratum3.bitcoin.cz

I'm still on 3 since that's what worked yesterday when the others didn't. Just need to make sure. Thanks in advance.

would it be possible to add the feature to make different workers payout to different addresses? might be useful so I can keep track of the ROI of different workers  (I understand if it just complicates things and gives more chance for errors, but from a users point of view it would be nice) not really necessary, I could also just write things down or something I guess

Why don't you simply make multiple accounts?

Also, while I can see this being interesting for a few people, the ROI on any setup simply comes down to Mh/s and one can simply use one of the online calculators to see the merits of any given machine/device. Since the difficulty and pool Gh/s change with time, the ROI you might gather is pretty much meaningless other than sum total BTC by some particular setup. Why waste Slush's time asking for crap like this?

Would it be possible to get a maintenance mode? Yesterday I had to wait for more then 4 hours for block to end so I could shout down miners for some maintenance. I'm not asking for much but to be able to use this option 1 per mount and rewords would be calculated not with slash method but with some other more linear one for block when it was started... Or maybe with slash but it would use the time of the start of maintenance mode as a end of a block... If this is too difficult I understand and I have a work around. When I plan to do that and I don't forget I switch to BTC Guild and PPS at earlier time so I can turn down miners whenever I like. But I would like to see a way to do it without waiting for the end of a block.
