What the hell is fail safe mode?

Cant they be more details?

[AbiTxGroup]

Same here.  All of my miners went to my backup pool.  My new Antminers started beeping like hell when they lost connection to Eligius before the autoswitched to the backup pool.

I wish I had an app that would warn me that connection was lost to the current pool for my windows based miners.

SERVER DOWN FOR EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE
edit:
we are on now

Hi Eligius Miners,

Always seems to be a catastrophe whenever I'm busy IRL. This week has been more hectic than I figured for the holiday.

Anyway, long story short, a disk in a RAID array on the main database server failed.  For some reason this slowed down the database enough to get a backlog of share inserts. (I'll be investigating this further.) Fail-over database actually failed under the pressure since it hasn't been upgraded enough since our recent growth due to lack of time to do so. (I'll try to make time for this soon.)

There was enough RAM on the primary and backup servers to hold the backlog for a while, but, I took the pool offline as a precaution to make sure no accepted shares were at risk of being lost while the bad drive was replaced and the RAID array resync'd.  The data center responded and had the drive replaced in under 5 minutes while I was on the line with them, so, kudos.

Looks like when I took Eligius offline a good chunk of miners failed over to Bitminter, and they were knocked offline momentarily, presumably due to the influx of new connections (over 100Th worth).  Sorry Bitminter!  I still recommend Bitminter as fail-over in any case.

Everything is back up and running with the new drive fully synced, and every share that was accepted is accounted for and in the CPPSRB share log.  We even found a block within minutes of the pool coming back online!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Edit: Upon further inspection, it looks like the first system to be affected was the stats-side database replication.  About an hour of stats data isn't replicated to the stats server.  I'll work on manually importing that data later.  The core side has this data (for payouts/accounting purposes), so, nothing to really worry about.

Luke-Jr, any idea if/when the Hashfast Micro boards will be back in stock?

Thanks for the quick response.

Has NMC been paid out recently? I havent received mine since Dec 13th

[wizkid057]

Daily.  Including just now.

[smooth]

Daily.  Including just now.

Can we get some kind of minimal NMC stats, like a list of payouts?

[Luke-Jr]

Luke-Jr, any idea if/when the Hashfast Micro boards will be back in stock?

Hashbuster, not HashFast!
But no, I have no idea when/if they will produce more.

Its on the TODO list, but its not a priority.

More important to get more BTC-related stats and features working, IMO.  NMC stuff just works.

any fix for errors kncminer?

[wizkid057]

any fix for errors kncminer?

Currently working on a rewrite of the cgminer driver for KnC, but my time is limited the next few days, so, I don't expect to complete it until mid next week.  There may still be an issue with the KnC FPGA code, however, but I won't know for sure until i get my standalone test code done.

Last I checked KnC pushed a commit to their cgminer branch that fixed some of the HW errors, but does not fix the flush issue.

thanks wizkid057
i am using last version but continues issues

[seriouscoin]

Is there something wrong with the reward?

Mine keep resetting. The "as of last block" is still at zero and i dont see those payouts.

The balance graph is also messed up ... it doesnt show any BTC paidout or earned.....

Hashrate reports fine.

 

So after checking further, i have mined for the past 8hrs without any reward.

The last paid out was after the server got back up online. I switched back from my backup pool 8hrs ago and my unpaid balance is still zero.

Can you explain pls?


EDIT: i'm not even in the payout queue even tho the stats says i would be in the next block.

[bmoconno]

Same here.  It looks like I got a double payment though (I was in the queue when the pool died last night).  So I'm guessing that maybe the system is "catching up" to get me back in line where I should be?

[CanaryInTheMine]

Double payment? you meant you got paid twice of what you earned?

I dont see any double payment. The last payment i got was what i earned b4 the server was down. I switched to my backup pool and didnt switch back until 9hrs ago.

Is your unpaid balance still zero? but you dont see any payout?

[seriouscoin]

same here...

That sucks


Everyone should stop mining until this is solved.

[seriouscoin]

I'm really tired of these lame stats. No shares per round, no shares per day or hr, and no total shelved shares. Its hard to keep track of my submitted shares.

From what i read, my shelved shares will always be paid out. Yet for the past 2 months my shares reward has never been above 99%. Either the pool was never "lucky" or my shelved shares were never paid fully.

As for the NMC, its completely in the dark. Just paid out, noway to know if its counted correctly.
