I seem to have broken the balances portion of stats again.
I will fix them tomorrow (11/17) afternoon when I do updates to CPPSRB!
Sorry!

Hello again,
This has been a rather rough week for me in the real world, so, I haven't had hardly any time to put into updates. The few major ones I want to get done are getting out a payout for the latest work, and fixing CPPSRB code to correctly handle the orphan/stale blocks we had the other day. (This is what halted balance updates on the stats.)
I have to do both so that the payout calculations are correct. Bear with me here, since I may have to rebuild the CPPSRB database a few times to make the update, and there are millions of shares to parse to do that.
I shouldn't have anything come up today which would prevent me from getting this done in the next 12 hours or so.

Greetings Miners! Finally got some massive code changes in place to account for stale/orphan blocks and other such nonsense. Woot! Still some work to be done on that, but, no catastrophic failures/errors should happen now because of them. On that note, a payout was sent for recent work. Txid 2e1af4c4307e1d05427b73584b27b08ae68d04ba4e0c8e9a5d62303b7b46fef6. Stats balances and graphs should be right once again. It should be noted that it was pointed out to me that in the current graphs, estimated rewards from the current round are added to the locked in unpaid reward amount and shown as the unpaid reward on the graph. This should be changed to show that part of that is estimated, like the old artefact2 stats. I will be making that change soon enough so that there is no confusion. Enjoy! -wk P.S. - Still shamelessly begging for donations! 1CPPSRBAhYcYtLN7Y6n1KcwhF49VwMtptT . Thank you to those who have already donated! (A total of exactly 1 BTC as of this writing)

Does the .us (or was it .st?) back-up work still? Not last time I checked, I'm in the office now and cannot try.

I only checked eligius.st. It came back soon after I posted. If you check the pool hashrate graph you can see a down spike in activity.

Greetings, once again, Eligius miners. Seemed to be a small coding error in the CPPSRB code in my first attempt at payments directly from the coinbase transaction, which caused some minor issues with stats and stability this morning (EST). In any case, it should be corrected now and balance graphs should once again be updating. The good news is, the code to pay people directly from blocks works See transaction 8ee5543686a4acc25dfb8b22dc1bc4b97b85dfb147d5a7ac1be9cb89a61e30f7-wk

In other news, I did actually get the pool hot line working. Not for chit-chat, but, If there are any issues with the pool, call 1-877-281-POOL (7665) (or, from outside the USA or Canada, call +1 818-688-POOL (7665)) If I'm right here at my desk, it will ring me and I'll try to answer. If not, leave a message and I'll attempt to respond back ASAP. Even a message saying, "Hey, can't connect to the pool man!" would be sufficient in that instance. I figure this is something useful to have. -wk

Greetings again! Looks like the CPPSRB code is successfully and correctly generating automatic payouts directly from the block's coinbase transaction, as intended. This should put it virtually on auto pilot. So, as far as miners are concerned, its basically done. As for me, it needs some more work on the back end to tweak a few things and finish some coding loose ends, but all in all, miners should now be paid automatically based on the payout queue every block, provided they meet the either the minimum payout (roughly 0.67 BTC) or timeout requirement (no shares submitted for 7+ days). Thanks everyone for your support! -wk P.S. - Lets try to get our hashrate up before the reward halving! Refer refer refer!

The pool itself has been online, but, assuming you mean the automatic payouts, then yes, they're officially back online. The CPPSRB code generated payouts successfully for the past two blocks so far: here and hereEdit to add links

Greetings!
No updates for a little while. Nothing new to report, really. So far everything seems to be running smoothly. The block reward halving went over without a hitch and we're still mining away.
Automatic payouts are happening as planned at block generation, now in 25 BTC chunks. The payout queue has been staying a few blocks long since then, but, it should work itself out soon.
In any case, I'm going to probably take the CPPSRB code offline for a couple of hours tomorrow (somewhere around 20:00:00 UTC) to do some optimizing and tidying now that the existing code has had plenty of field testing. This will have no impact on mining, you can mine as normal, nothing is lost I promise. The payout queue, balance updates, and automatic payouts will just be unavailable (or rather, frozen in time) until I bring the code back online fully.
Thanks everyone, for your support!

400 TBC (so about 0.67 BTC) still yes. Although, 1 week of no change in unpaid balance overrides the minimum still. Also, I broke my main PC Monday and Im waiting on replacement parts which should arrive Monday. So I wont be as active until then. -wk

OK I just wanted to confirm what I thought. I'm afraid I'm too small to mine at eligius any more.

I really like the idea of the new reward method, looks interesting, but I already have 3 pools I send hashes to. I wish I could mine on all the interesting pools!
