[OLD] Eligius: ASIC, no registration, no fee CPPSRB BTC + 105% PPS NMC, 877 #

Forgot to mention, I have 2 cgminer instances (2 machines) connected using the same bitcoin address. Is that the issue?

Are you using a local proxy or connecting directly? I have 3 separate instances using a stratum proxy (and the same BTC address) and they aggregate just fine.

I cant seem to find the current PPS amount in BTC on the website anywhere?
Am i missing it or is it not there and either way what is it?

thanks, if the stratum bug gets fixed in GUIMiner i'd move here from 50btc!

Nice day today gents.  Solving blocks like there's no tomorrow. My unpaids and shelveds are going down like Kim Kardashian and Ray J on the Titanic.

I think you'll find that's me not you.

running stable here... no poblems

Wynx, where do you live. I live in the US and I can't access the eligius site and I can't mine from eligius either.

Greetings Eligius miners!

So, I was up yesterday morning at 5:30AM local time (Saturday!) because of one of my "pool is broken" alarms.  Turns out some insanely huge botnet has decided to call Eligius home, and is adding bots at a rate of about 2-3 unique IPs per second.  And of course, these bots are connecting on port 8337 (getwork/GBT).

So, of course, after building up for a while, the server got bogged down and tripped my alarm.  I've since been trying to figure out a solution to the problem, and it is now just about 27 hours later (I had about a 90 minute nap somewhere in there).

Anyway, after many many attempts at different methods for fixing this, I ended up coming up with a solution which basically amounts to load balancing port 8337.  I've also moved stratum (port 3334) to it's own independent process.

Now, eloipool wasn't really designed to do this, so, I don't know if there are any unforeseen issues with the way I've attempted this.  One side effect comes to mind, and it involves variable difficulty calculation for miners who mine from multiple IPs.  Most likely their vardiff number will be lower than it normally would be because of this if they use GBT/getwork because they wont be getting/submitting work to the same server on the backend.  Not a huge problem.  One which I will solve soon.

Edit: I also just realized that this setup affects vardiff for anyone with hashpower on both GBT/getwork and stratum.

So, conclusion, the pool is up, its handling the new traffic now, and all should be well for miners.

Have you considered what happens to variable difficulty when multiple miners are using the same IP and the same payment address. For example one public IP is used for three miners behind a router and firewall but they have varying hash rates (180, 90, 70000) requiring difficulty 1, 1, and 64, respectively? This appears to be a problem even when using the new addresses for getwork for the first two and stratum for the third - where the slow miners usually end up getting difficulty set far too high and the fast miner occasionally has difficulty set too low. The same appeared to happen more than one miner used the new stratum address.

site is down for me. USA.  Cgminer shows shares being accepted though.

Ah Europe

[aahzmundus]

Am I crazy? Or were we at >9999% round luck for a while there.... How..?  What?

[mb300sd]

Website seems down, miners working fine.

[Sweetrevenge]

haha yeah the mining works I was using the wrong port rofl

If you're mining on the same username, then no difficulty set by the pool is "too high" for sure.  It can be too low for the sum of the connection through IF a) miners come from different IPs, or b) miners are using different protocols.  If you have all of your miners on the same IP and username and protocol, the pool should properly assign difficulty.

How can i get a manual payout? I am mining from a small computer and just reaching the minimum amount takes 2 weeks and i only need a tiny amount more to afford 2 avalon mining chips.
