Everything is down. What's happened again?

Nothing is down, looks like an issue with the .ST domain registrar.  Seems we're having terrible luck on all fronts lately.

http://eligi.us and mining.eligi.us are working.

On a side note, stats and performance issues have been resolved.

is the move from eligius.st to eligi.us temporary?

Well, eligius.st and eligi.us DNS zones point to the same places.  But, eligius.st is already back up.

I've noticed for the past 2 days or so, my hashrate average has dropped by about 50MH.  And this is a long standing average of many months. Any ideas why?  I'm seeing this on both my local machine and website stats.  Nothing on my end has changed. It seems like its been ever since the new server.

There is virtually nothing pool-side that could cause a drop in your hashrate... especially with everything on the new server running even smoother than on the original.

I would suspect that something has changed on your end, as I've not personally had any issues nor have I gotten any other reports of issues like this since the switch to the new server.

Depending on your total hashrate, 50Mh/sec could be well within normal variance.  And if you're seeing a change in your hashrate locally, then I suspect it is certainly an issue on your end.

i've noticed the same problem...
MH/s rate reduced from 2000 to 1850

If you want to provide your mining usernames I will gladly check things pool side when I get home.

I have 2BTC in "Old SMPPS Extra Credit"

Will I ever see these BTC?

I have 2BTC in "Old SMPPS Extra Credit"

As has been asked many times, the answer is: unlikely.
Please review the pages on SMPPS and CPPSRB for details, but the short of it is that the pool can't (and does not attempt to) pay what it has not mined.

I spent some time reading the site and I couldn't find anything about it (specifically about getting paid this old SMPPS credit or not).

As of a few days ago I was also seeing screwiness with hash rate unless I stuck to using stratum instead of GBT. My hash rate would be quite variable and, as I said before, sometimes one of my miners would get stuck in a state where it would constantly throw an error about "unknown user" until I killed and restarted it. Using stratum, none of these problems appear, so I've stuck with that. My hash rate is where it should be and I don't see any weird errors.

My hashrate has trended up since. It still seem unstable-ish, but it is higher. I ran a ping yesterday and today to 'mining.eligius.st' and both times it was in the 115-120ms range. Seems kinda high, especially being it looks like the server is located in KS. Is this a expected ping? Thanks.

The new server is in AZ, USA.  I'm 2300 miles east of it in NJ and I get about 60ms ping to it.  The old server is on the other side of the globe and gets about 175ms ping to it, which should be about the worst possible.

I have a related question, since you said "unlikely" instead of "no": will it change things if I point more mining rigs to this same address?

I use different addresses to keep a clearer record of mining performance. I expect a couple of ASIC blades and I haven't decided where to point them yet.

Honestly, it doesn't matter. Obviously the added hash power overall will help the pool, and could help the pool get lucky enough to get to paying some SMPPS extra credit. But it doesn't directly help you with your SS or EC.

But please do point your miners in any case! The more hash power the lower the variance the better things are for everyone!

I intend to favour Eligius if it gives me similar performance as the rest. I got 2 ASICMiner blades in the fixed price auction (you can see my nick there https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=201753.0 )

AFAICS I will need to run a Stratum proxy because they only support the older getawork protocol and they would be inefficient if run directly. I only found it documented here:

http://mining.bitcoin.cz/mining-proxy-howto for Slush.  

Any ideas? Maybe Eloipool? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=61731.0

I have no experience about this. If someone wrote a decent guide, maybe we can get some of these ASICMiner blades that are actually shipping in volume now to point here at Eligius.

You can use the stratum proxy with Eligius. Also I believe bfgminer has support coming for the ASIC miner blades which would eliminate the need for the proxy.

Since your pool doesn't required password (I read it on the faq)

"bfgminer -o mining.eligius.st:8337 -u YourAddress -p x"

what's represent "-p x" ?

I'm missing something ?

Thanks in advance

Apparently you have to provide some password. Guess providing 'x' works...likely anything other than that will work too.

Any feedback by babies miners(~600mh/s) on this pool ?

[toolbag]

I'm not sure what feedback you're looking for, but I'm only running about 520 Mh/sec and Eligius has been good to me. I've maintained a very steady hash rate since the recent problems have been resolved and I get my payouts like I should.
