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

[[Tycho]]

blah, the constant changing of IP's for deepbit.net is killing me. I have to go around and change the IP in the routing table on each computer I'm mining from every time it changes, :(

Are you using some special routing rules for mining ? Usually this shouldn't affect users.

What happened to the average shares numbers at the top of the stats page?

Average shares per block display is automatically hidden after each difficulty adjustment because otherwise it will show some meaningless jumps up and down for a few next hours.
Will be enabled again soon.

Ahh thank you.  I'll add this to the FAQ.

[[Tycho]]

Some changes were implemented.
Report please if you feel that your deepbit mining experiense is now better or not.

Yes, the machines are on an intranet but by setting up routing rules to the deepbit.net IP I can get them to mine.

I'm starting to get quite a few of these messages from GuiMiner using Poclbm:

For the last 1/2 an hour.  Is this normal or due to a problem on your end or maybe mine?  Any help or suggestions would be great. As I'm typing this it seems that the whole pool when down.

No, everything is looks fine at my end.
Do you have any packet loss between your PC and the pool ?

Also, PM me your IP please.

Yes, the machines are on an intranet but by setting up routing rules to the deepbit.net IP I can get them to mine.

Very odd indeed.  I assume somewhere NAT should be doing all the work for you.  What I have done is to setup QoS such that outgoing connections to 8332 are given priority over everything [even multimedia and VoIP].  For wireless [since two miners are on wireless via an 802.11n bridge [solid connection repeatedly and thoroughly tested] and I setup 8332 as priority with WISH as well, so that my Wife watching videos while syncing iTunes [files on NAS] over wireless don't interfere with MY priority traffic .  Netflix and multimedia get the 5.0GHz band so no issues there.

Perhaps nothing I have said is of help here, but I find it strange that you are setting the routing tables to make this work when NAT on the border router(s) should take care of this [minus priority].

Oh ... is your DNS honoring TTL?

I seem to be submitting a whole lot less stale/invalid shares lately. It could be that I upgraded phoenix, but I thought I would share, [Tycho], since you had asked if anyone's experience had changed recently.

[Veldy]

I also am seeing a significantly lower number of stales on both poclbm and phoenix (phatk).  I am guessing there is some balancing to a deepbit pool server near you (near is relative on the Internet ).

You upgraded phoenix?  To 1.48?  Or did I miss a new one?

[ataranlen]

I'm actually noticing alot LOWER stales. Across 10 workers, They all used to be about 1.5+% stale. Now my highest is 0.5%, with 4 workers at 0%!

[borito4]

I think the site/pool just went down...

[Mousepotato]

Looks like it...

[Veldy]

I am thinking that whoever is attacking the pools, is lurking in these forums, either as a participant or just a read only lurker.  Either way, it seems whenever somebody reports stability, something happens and it goes away.  Maybe stability posts should not be posted here [meaning for all pools, not just deepbit].   Granted, it leaves negative comments about a pool stability more prominent, but there are ways to praise the pool without saying whether it is stable or not and even if you are using it or not.  Somebody out there has an agenda and some power to disrupt.  Is that the case right now, I have no idea, but I don't believe in coincidence so, in cases like this [and with clear public enemies ... i.e. US congress and the U.S. Federal Reserve], I prefer to remain a bit cynical.

There was a DDoS attempt at this moment.

Recent connection issues and increased stales percentage were not caused by DDoS.

[Veldy]

Well, I guess, unfortunately, cynicism confirmed.  I have no doubt in my mind that whoever is responsible watches these forums closely.  The admin could probably pull IP logs and get an idea; especially if the user is not a member.  A member may be more difficult to detect.  My guess is; this can be tracked if somebody puts the resources into doing so.

I really don't understand what anyone has to gain from these attacks.  They don't bother me at all, they don't affect my mining income more than 1-3% a week, they don't lower the power of deepbit.  Heck still hovering close to 50% some days.

Why does anyone waste their time?  Silly kids these days.

[marvinmartian]

Yup, can't get to the website.  Am too tired to go back down to the basement and check the machines I just finished setting up.

I assume you were releasing those changes you have been working on. Like I said in my last post, I actually noticed BETTER stale percentages.

Why on Earth would they need to watch the forums? They can attack whenever they please. What benefit do they get from watching this thread?

May be to check when admin is sleeping ? :)
