Ok, thanks for the answers.

While I can clean out old shares from the core database, the webserver still requires a full history of shares for active servers.

That sounds like a pretty bad design flaw. So I have to assume it's more a case of using a product to perform a task it was never designed to do or even using it in a manner never envisioned by the developer.

The buffer was exhausted. Due to timing, I ended up with 0.20 BTC leftover. I don't consider this amount worth the time trying to figure out how to split it up.

Enjoy your $1.32

No, we just never envisioned a pool server running on for months at the time. There were (multiple) plans to rewrite it by the original author and others, but nothing has come to fruit from them so far...

I'm more concerned about the current state of "buffer empty". You mentioned that it is acting as if "proportional" now and the per-share price varies. How is this affected by pool-hopping? Since the share price is varying would this make the pool a target now?

The share price isn't itself varying; the currency is. Since there aren't enough Bitcoins to go around, the pool issues its own fiat "currency" called "extra credit"; this has no value itself, but the pool tries to convert it to Bitcoins every block until it's gone.

Specific to pool hopping, the whole premise of hopping is being able to get more than the fair PPS price for shares. This is never possible with SMPPS.

Also, I'd like to note that we're gaining and will probably have a buffer again pretty soon. However, the law of large numbers means that in the long run, the buffer should get closer and closer to zero.

The hashing speed drops, but cgminer shows there's no problem submitting shares, and cgminer don't switch to other pool.

Anyone noticed this?

Yes me, usually I mine at 700M/s but now I'm at 400M/s. No problem in the logs.

[Luke-Jr]

We're under a tight DoS attack. Been analyzing it, but not sure what the cause is yet.

[finway]

I guess this is the new type of "dos attack"    

Under the old dos attack, if speed drops, then there should be some share submitting problems with cgminer,
and cgminer will automatically switch to other pools.

This new "dos attack" does not. It EAT shares,  Strange

Any shares accepted should be represented as usual. If that's not the case, please double check your miner isn't dropping the shares (eg, with Wireshark) and get in touch with me about it in our IRC channel.

The cause is you dumbass,

Lets see how you handle this pool from now on.

Classy, as usual. Even had the nerve to steal Inaba's profile picture.

wow, that threw me off. I was thinking to myself, "What the hell crawled up Inaba's butt tonight?" =)

Seeing who it is, I am not surprised. Though, I can't really disagree with the sentiment. But the judges give it a 1 out of 10 for his approach.

cheers


P.S.  *offers Plastic.Elastic a hug*


On Topic;  Luke, is it the getworks that are slowing down the hash rate without tripping CGminer to fallback?  That parts seems a bit strange.

Use the load balancing feature in cgminer and it'll help with that.

If I knew the problem, it'd be solved.

Set up a private pool for your important miners. Only tell them the IP.

[epsillion]

anyone tell me if the eligius pool is still down?

[Schleicher]

It's up.

[Hotdog453]

My miners have Eligius as a backup, and I'm seeing it down. YMMV.

What's up with the Namecoin transactions info? I just checked my NMC json info using the python tool and it now shows my address as not existing any more.

I checked on the Namecoin block explorer and it shows a payout on the 19th. Was this a flushing out of balances and reset? Just wondering because I didn't get those NMC in my address at CryptoXchange even though past ones worked fine.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import json, urllib2, datetime

address = 'YourNameCoinAddressHere'
url = 'http://eligius.st/~luke-jr/raw/7/NMC/balances.json'

data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen(url, timeout=5))
print "Address  : " + address
print "Balance  : " + str(data[address]['balance']/100000000.0)
print "Everpaid : " + str(data[address]['everpaid']/100000000.0)
print "Oldest   : " + str(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(data[address]['oldest']))
print "Newest   : " + str(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(data[address]['newest']))

Did you change the /5/ to /7/ in the python code?
