Question: I want to point all my servers with a total of 160.000 khs to the VS server. But, we use linux and i cant find any compiled versions that are good to use with middlecoin.
Any help?

So a few pages back someone was complaining about how h2o holds the coins before exchanging them... Although I agree that h2o does a decent job when it comes to exchanging, I too see a problem with this, with an example.
I check my balance/unexchanged/immature every hour or so. I checked it and my balance was .0030 (after payout of course), my unexchanged was .03195, and my immature was .01233. Now I check it, and my balance is still .0030, my unexchanged has gone down to .0254 and my immature has gone down to .0054. I understand with the immature coins you can't exchange them, but since my mature unexchanged coins didn't get auto-traded, I lost .006 btc. I understand this isn't much, but if it effects me, then I'm sure it's effected others that had a higher unexchanged balance.
I saw the same behavior. I think it may have something to do with timing of exchanging coins and updating of middlecoin JSON. See spikes in my graph below, which suggest that nothing is "lost", since graph resumes approximately where it left off after downward spike. My graphs are different from coinGeek's because I plot summation of Immature (purple shading), Unexchanged (yellow shading) and Exchanged (green shading). So on my graph, there should always be an upwards slope. The spike and then recovery could impy that Unexchanged coins were sent to be exchanged, but JSON was written before Exchanged balance was updated. It may also have something to do with the Immature coin balance temporarily dropping to zero, though I'm not sure why. Regardless, the balances appear correct in is following JSON updates. Bottom line: I don't believe you "lost" any unexchanged coins. https://i.imgur.com/7ZA93x0.png |

Instead of all this load sharing and recompiling nonsense. Why don't you guys just set the U.S. server as the only server in CGminer and don't set a failover? Cgminer won't give any of these problems if only one server is listed and the --failover-only flag isn't set.
Then when both servers are fixed, you can go back and set the EU as a failover server??
I know this means that if the US server were to go down than your miners would be offline but it appears H20 runs a pretty tight ship around here so the odds of that happening look to be pretty low.

Is that true? What ping do you have? |

Bottom line: I don't believe you "lost" any unexchanged coins.  Sometimes the exchange APIs go down causing the unexchanged/immature coin values to not display correctly. You don't lose any value when that happens, and it should come back to a higher value when the exchanges come back online. Also, coins tend to increase in value as often as they drop in value during the time before exchange. In fact, from my experience, the exchange frequently results in more BTC than estimated (which a good autotrading program should). The payout is always timely, so I have no issues with any of this. |

Is that true? What ping do you have?
Its very true. Try it yourself. Cgminer 3.7.2 happily switches to new coins with no issues with no failover set. My ping to the US server 100ms. |

Is anyone getting lockups with the eu server? My computer started locking up after ~15 minutes of mining. Im not sure if its cgminer related or what because i havent installed anything or browsed the internet on my miner. All it does it mine and something has happened to it.

It depends on how many switches are happening at once. I was watching CGminer a second ago and the US Middlecoin server switched to three different coins in the span of about 5 seconds. That kinda threw CGminer for a loop (said lost connection) but it recovered after about 5 seconds or so. If the coin switches are slower, then CGminer keeps chugging along with no issues. I'm not sure why Middlecoin switches coins that quickly though sometimes. I'm assuming that is part of the problem that H20 is going to correct. I can't believe there would be a reason to switch from one coin to another in the span of less than a minute to make much of a difference as far as profits are concerned. |

Yeah, mine drops a bit too during coin switches but then ramps back up again. I can live with it until H20 makes the coding changes to the server to help with coin switches. |

I am assuming it is when a new block is detected with a new difficulty. |

are you looking to launch any server instances in the Sydney region as well as there are a number of Australian miners who would appreciate a regional hub to use.
First I'm going to fix up the EU server, then I'm setting up either Toyko, Singapore, or Hong Kong. Then I'll look at other places like Australia. Singapore would still be great for us Aussies... Should mean roughly 100ms ping Yes! Singapore please! I am hoping for Singapore server as well  |

Sorry but I would not suggest running without a failover, unless you can monitor the miner constantly. I can imagine a lot of scenarios where you could loose a lot of mining time by not having a failover, even though middlecoin might run fine. For example a problem on dns resolution, ip routing or whatever. |

Similar things happened to me. Yesterday, my unexchanged dropped from 0.023 to 0.003, but I didn't get any payments or balance http://middlecoin2.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/reports/1CKi6ZS34WRMXF24ZAvaQkyDDYAZfzTs1N.htmlSo a few pages back someone was complaining about how h2o holds the coins before exchanging them...

That's messed up for a couple reasons. It looks like you were overpaid last time, had a negative "payout" balance after payout, and something broke. |

I would suggest PM'ing the OP if you have not doen so already. Your issues look like they have nothing to do with coins devaluing or exchanges going down, more like a database issue on middlecoin. |
