[DEAD] DeepBit.net PPS+Prop,instant payouts, we pay for INVALID BLOCKS too

I'm not surprised if 111 Eighth Avenue has some minor congestion. Though I'd also suspect any other possible route would be worse.

OK, I will bite ... what is at 111 Eight Avenue [presumably in New York City]?

Holy crap it's Google... 2.9 Million square feet of Google.

Ha!  Well, I doubt they are the one saturating Comcast .. way to many connections to the major U.S. backbones to throttle one Comcast router where BGP would likely balance it nicely ... funny none-the-less

Comcast intentionally keeps their traffic on-net for as long as they can. And last I checked, BGP didn't react THAT fast.

I Use MSIa fan profiles aswell, My cards run at 75°aswell, I had the "schedualer" service disabled but a registry value stating "perform first defrag?" was never answer, So when the OS went to call upon the schedualer to tell me to defrag, It sat there looping with requests until it filled my ram, Once my ram was full, My comp went "yo dude your ram is full, This is bad" and then Qued a system restart, Wich could not be done due to no schedualer service, So it flooded the ram as much as it possibly could with requests, Until for somereason my OS lockup and stop responding, At wich point my cards continued to mine somehow (i assume) Whilst the auto tune profile didnt update fan speeds in relation to card temperatures, Causing the cards to "restart" at 110°
The othercard, (i assume) never reached 110 because it's Next Door Neighbour in the case "restarted" but couldnt due to full ram.
I only know this because this is what the event viewer has recorded.

I recommend that you get Diskeeper 2011 Premier; they have a full featured trial.  This is  not a plug beyond that I have used it for years [and swear by it] and will completely avoid this problem forever.  Get the SSD extension for those of you [like me] that boot the OS and programs from the SSD and store data and swap on hard drives [granted, I have 12GB of tri-channel RAM on my machine, so, I rarely see much use of swap [although a relatively large file is reserved of course].  Scheduled defrag [especially on Windows XP], is terrible.  It is best to keep the OS from fragmenting the data in the first place when practical [and clean up when it has too].

[EDIT] Even with an admittedly small sample (would like several thousand) and while I have uTorrent running grabbing the latest Debian 6.0.1a DVDs [all 8 DVDs, although I personally will probably only need the first one or two].  You might find it interesting that both miners are have the same percentage loss ... although that is likely somewhat coincidence.  It definitely could be worse.

1205 (0.66%)
1054 (0.66%)

And all that research and the loss is fairly similar to what I have been seeing with BTCMine.com lately [nearly the same number of long-polling pushes obviously].  I ran the same tests, but found absolutely no packet loss.  Used the DSL Reports tool I mentioned on the first hop address on my traceroute for deepbit.net and it came up great with low jitter, 25-27ms latency from both servers used [West Coast and Central I think it was].  So, while the packet loss through New York is part of the problem, it seems like long polling isn't quite as good as it is reputed to be [or could be improved] ... still better than the alternative of not having it though.

One step ahead of ya, It's already on a network harddrive now, And the HDD is in in a bay, Wich is connected to an APS now i only need to worry about my lan cable falling out.

So Tycho said he'd comment about hte eta on the email notify system within 16 hours, I wonder if it'll be tonight or tomorrow morning

[Veldy]

FWIW - it seems that now that the Internet rush hour is largely over, things are looking up.  Still, no congestion going to Great Britain [England actually], just via the Comcast router leading to the France to Germany routed indicated before.

Now I am seeing some better numbers which included that difficult period from earlier:

2101 (0.38%)
1811 (0.39%)

Would I be correct in assuming that the pool was down for a bit today and that's why the rewards for about 6-7 hours were "none?"

No, the pool was not down today.
This may be caused by a connection problem at your side or switching to PPS mode.

This depends on your timezone :)
Initially I wanted to implement failure detection by monitoring submitted shares, like it's done now for making worker name red, but then we decided that this may generate some false alarms due to randomness of the process, so now i'm replacing this system by another that will watch over getwork requests, not the shares.

UPDATE:

Please use pit.deepbit.net as the hostname in your miner settings instead of deepbit.net

[luffy]

is this permanent?

[[Tycho]]

is this permanent?

Yes. Currenly both hostnames will work, but setting new one is recommended.

Stats page updated with mtGox rate and pool's luck history.

[luffy]

Tycho,
your stat page is the best!
very nice work indeed!

[melco]

What was happening? Server was down

[[Tycho]]

We have some problems, trying to find out the cause, sorry.

[0 Khash/sec] [719 Accepted] [56 Rejected] [RPC (+LP)]

This number of stale shares is normal? It says RPC (+LP) but i don't see any "LONGPOLL: pushed new work" in the console.

[Eikill]

We have some problems, trying to find out the cause, sorry.

You got an ETA when it'll be back up?

[jasonk]

Been down over an hour... time to switch pools I guess.

[[Tycho]]

There is a DDoS attack happening against deepbit servers.
Now I'm taking some countermeasures against this.

Sorry again for the delay.

the pool is great and tycho you do a good job always monitoring and getting it back up as quickly as you can and you respond right away.  but that doesn't discount the fact that you keep going down reguarly, pretty much almost daily now, and for extended periods of time.  can you setup something so that there is 0 downtime?  an automatic backup of some sorts?
