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

[slush]

it will make a good story for the grandkids in a few decades.

...and now kids, now I tell you how your grandfather went to madhouse. Few decades ago, there was one opensource project called Bitcoin...

[bulanula]

Hope you get it sorted out. Why not use Winblows in the meantime

[slush]

people will bitch but...

...most of them don't know how to quit vim. I don't care anymore about some guys on this forum.

I haven't been able to connect to the website for a few days... is everything ok?

[RobertRibbeck]

Im guessing it will end up invalid.  Not sure why, but a lot of the blocks I've seen that short end up being marked invalid.

I'm here for a moment . No, this block is perfectly valid, you can click to blocknumber and see details on block explorer.

Enough with the added extras
more important
   how about processing payout since this all day outage

We've been WAITING on namecoin payout for 3 days

clicking on the block number isn't a recently added extra, it has been there for a long time.

1. Strange, re: waiting three days since I believe my last namecoin payout from Slush occurred two days ago.
2. The webpage says (although down at the moment) that payouts should be processed by Nov 3rd at 12:00 UTC

Funny I've been checking every hr & never saw said notice

This IS BAD up & down for at least 3 days is BS
playing with tor instead of TCB
I've been getting http timeouts for 2 wks but only on one machine and yes it's using api2 address

I was trying to check namecoin stuff and have been waiting for funds to build & process

at this point I've gotten more straight pay out from deepbit in the last 24hrs
than slushes proportional pay scheme for every day last week

putting it mildly I"m not a happy camper

oh REALLY
pool still down -- NO payout

oh REALLY
pool still down -- NO payout

Use another pool and stop crying better yet use a real miner which instantly switches to a backup pool.  The 15 bitcents you got tied up will be all right.

FoxMURDER: Database fails in access to disk sectors, although disk looks good. It happen only under high load so I'm expecting bug in vmware disk abstraction layer.

I'm going to remove virtualization completely and try to run pool on bare metal. However it will take some time to install and setup everything.

bloody hell, that's going to be MPITA to debug ... i wish you a good luck and non-failing connection ...
if you, by any luck, felt, you need any help, lemme know ;-)

Problem is you can hardly find any better merged mining pool than Slush

Does Guiminer for windows do that?

I am not sure.  Once you learn how to use cgminer I guarantee* you won't ever use anything else.





*your maximum damages if cgminer isn't the greatest thing since taco salads is me saying sorry.

yes GuiMiner will switch to a back up pool
but it won't correct SLUSH PROBLEMS as someone wants you to do

too bad it does not work as well on WIN 7 as XP

[worldinacoin]

How do you enable Guiminer to switch to backup pool?  I don't seem to be able to find this function.  Appreciate if you can advice.

in your extras flags add
 [your login worker]:[your password]@[what pool]:8332

replace [your login worker] with your worker's name
replace [your password] with your password
replace [what pool] with pit.deepbit.net for deep bit

That is so true and more people find that fact out each and every day, only to wonder why they hadn't made the switch to CGMiner earlier...

[Idzy]

really cgminer eh.  I use windows so I don't have to go to the command line.  All those tools are nice to have in one place, but its not like I don't have them with various gui's already.  Why go back to the dark ages and use a cli.

[Idzy]

guiminer backup pool instructions are in the first post of this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3878.0 

though the ones above are better

I'm pretty sure his estimation on when the payouts would be processed (and there was something he had to do manually) was annihilated by the pool going down again. I know that the message that was on the webpage 'disappeared'.

Personally I prefer him working to get the pool up and running again as opposed to processing the payouts (since both will take time, he is prioritizing to get the pool back up. Also if the error is with the machine, do you really want it running the payouts program while it is unstable? You can be sure that in addition to some manual effort there are programs involved also.)

Slush:
Minor webpage error. In the "My Account" section I have an error message:
"This is not a valid Namecoin address. Please install Namecoin client to get one."
despite the address being the same one I put in before you started paying out namecoins.

Thought I'd mention it in case it isn't just me. If it is just me, I'll generate a new one and toss it in.

Thanks...
