The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

I have no backup pools, but I feel safe knowing the swap will be quick as possible.

Chipped in. And Ill regularly abuse the secret address until you have a more permanent donation method.
BTW, when do you plan to switch? Might be good to give an estimated time if you can.

Thank you kindly, sirs.  BTW, when do you plan to switch? Might be good to give an estimated time if you can.
I wasn't sure if I might make it tonight. But it's getting rather late now. I want to test things out a bit before making the actual switch. I also don't want to switch just before going to bed in case something goes wrong. So most likely tomorrow evening, european time. I have no backup pools, but I feel safe knowing the swap will be quick as possible.
Doing kind of a "practice move" right now. If it works ok then the actual move should be as fast as possible. |

Server move took 11 minutes. I was hoping just 5-10 min, but not too bad.  Unfortunately there was one problem. During the switch an NMC payment was executed an extra time. A few users now have a negative balance of NMC. You can look up every payment on blockexplorer from your transaction history on BitMinter. If you have a negative balance you will find two payments with the same amount but in different blocks on blockexplorer. Normally the pool should not pay out money you don't have, but you can consider this an advance.  It will correct itself after a couple more NMC blocks are confirmed and your balance will be positive again. Let me know if this situation makes you unhappy. When I switched over I set up a tunnel from the old server to the new, so you can mine even if you use the wrong IP address. I'll take this down later. Currently almost 500 connections going through it. Weird how long new DNS data takes to spread even with 5 minutes TTL. My ISP at home was even serving out the old one after TTL went to zero. TTL went back up to 5 minutes, and still the old IP. DNS is not supposed to work like that! Oh well.. A relief to see everything running smoothly. |

This is the new server: > host bitminter.com
bitminter.com has address 176.9.104.178
You shouldn't have to flush anything. The TTL (time-to-live) value of 5 minutes should make the cache flush this IP address after it has been stored a maximum of 5 minutes. I was a bit surprised to see this not work properly at home though, took probably 15-20 minutes before I could see the new IP. At the office it worked fine, though. |

We have moved from American to German server. In the long run I would like to have multiple servers and probably spread out across the world. But I don't think this should have a big impact. If your round-trip-time went up by 100 ms, that would be 50 ms longer delay one way. I guess that means if you are American you may now get long poll messages 0.05 seconds later. Except the server is much faster, so it's probably faster than before, also for Americans. |

So we're at Hetzner now, Doc? Nice, just 8 hops away.
Round trip time of 62 ms is nothing to be scoffed at.
Stales are looking quite promising as well.
Congrats on the expedient and painless migration.

P4man, nice numbers! I'm still hoping pool-wide rejects will go down. It might help when miners connect directly to the new server instead of going through the old one. Since the switch, we've gone from 493 connections down to 433 through the tunnel from old to new server. Going down slowly. It may be that some miners need to be restarted to force them the resolve the hostname again and get the correct server. So we're at Hetzner now, Doc? Nice, just 8 hops away.

Yep, at Hetzner. They have some very nice prices. Now we just have to get the hash rate up. The new server is idling too much. Congrats on the expedient and painless migration.
Thanks, it was a big relief! |
