NEW POOLS AND AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE DISCORD
hanksy - Last Wednesday at 4:37 PM
Announcement:
Hello mining/Discord community. You rule. This pool has been growing and we are pushing the US server to it's limits. Payments are starting to back up again because there are so many coins being generated and so many people to pay. Additionally it is in the Western US which is not a great solution for our large number of European and Asian miners. The "New" server that was deployed Nov 13 is located in Japan and seems to be too far removed from the rest of the active network. This has been causing a large number of orphaned blocks and what appears to be non-competitive work delivery performance. The bulk of the Electroneum mining community appears to be from the UK, the US, the Ukraine, France and other neighboring countries, although nearly every continent is represented. To improve the performace for our international users we have restructured the network in the following ways:
The network has been divided into US, UK and Asia based pools. The US pool is the same Seattle-based server you have been mining on since day one and will not have any service interruption although the stats interface has been moved to a high availabiliy hosting environment as noted below. The "new" server we have been testing is now the Asia installation and service will not be interrupted there either. The UK server is completely new and shares the same configuration as the existing two. It is located in the UK West region and should perform best for European users. We are trying to offer the best mining and community experience possible in this knife fight we call the internet, so we thank you for your effort, help and patience. HASH ON!

@everyone.. The pools have been reorganized by location. There should be no service interruptions. You can change the names in your miners when you feel like it. The original pool us the US pool, The "secondary" pool is now the Asia pool, and there is a new UK pool that should perform better for European users. Payments were backed up today but most have been pushed out now. I identified a problem with the wallet that was causing transactions to get backed up due to erroneous double spend errors. I will keep working on configuring the system to handle a high volume of miners, but if we spread them out over the different servers it should work out better for everyone. Thanks.
