that mighty miner experienced some high rej problem on HHTT. hopefully it will get resolved soon
One of the nodes is down for maintenance and it was a while before I noticed and pulled it from DNS. That might be explanation. Maybe I'll add DNS health checks to my todo list to take care of that automatically. This is done. It is somewhat simplistic but seems to work. Route 53 FTW.

fireduck,
are TOR hidden service URLs still valid now that pdx, iad and dub servers are no more online?

Yes, I need to relabel them. 2/3 should be up right now. One isn't up because the instance is in zone maintenance but it should be back eventually.

Yeah, but we should really ask ourselves why are they leaving? What is making them swith pool? Pool's variance only? If half of those that mined here for one day were still here, pool would be at 100 TH at least. I'm starting to think that, apart from variance, the current coloring scheme of pool's home page could be annoying for someone and, worst, everybody has some coloring combination that annoys him and which gets selected randomly during the day. For example, this one is unbearable for me... http://imgur.com/VW3qlvJNow, I don't know if coloring is the real issue, but such violent colors can make your co-workers wonder what you're staring at, for example, which could be annoying in itself ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) So my question is: fireduck do you think that it would be possible to have some way for users to choose a color combination they like and "freeze" it for the future? What do others here think about this issue? spiccioli

I'm not sure that colour is the reason. For me, some of the stumbling block is fees. I'm more than happy to pay them, but of course they decrease with difficulty increase. I feel this is innappropriate unless Variable Diff is included in the pool.
To lower my fees, I put my diff as 130 (ish) but because I have only 25gh/s to my name, it take ages to find even one share, but I pay less fees. I recently had a go at comparing emc with hhtt, and I'm trying to decide which pool to settle on. (which considering Josh is an A hole should be an easy decision)
If fees were based on the same priciple, but used varidiff instead of 'pick a number and use it' it would be a little fairer in my opinion.
Thanks

Well, with vardiff and a 25GH/s you'd end up with a low difficulty value to keep a certain share-per-minute rate, but a "high" fee. I think that pool fees are high when difficulty is low mostly because the high availability solution fireduck is using is costing him monies and the more shares a miner sends the more it costs him (amazon message services have a fixed, even if low, cost per message sent). By the way, you don't have to put your difficulty at 130 given that minimum difficulty used by pool (if not explicitly set by miner) is 128 now. In any case, adding a fees paid field to user data could be usefull to see how much one is paying in fees at any given time, which does not solve your issue, but at least shows you how much your spending... spiccioli

Well, pool could set a maximum share per minute and force miners to use the resulting diff. value if the one set by the miner is too low. This would make fireduck expenses more predictable, btw. spiccioli

I've been thinking about that. My plan is to include in the page somewhere what the value of the base color is and then allow a url parameter to always use that base color but as it is part of the CSS style sheet loaded by the browser it isn't entirely trivial.

I've written up some sample cgminer configs and make some new dns round-robin pools for faster failover: http://hhtt.1209k.com/config.phpThis way cgminer can fail away from a failed node much faster than my health checks will pull it.
