[204 GH/s] yourbtc.net closing it's doors on 2011-12-08

[jamesg]

Looks like the pool has hit a new milestone. 150Gh!! 175Gh  

Welcome all new miners and thanks for being a part of the pool.

[shads]

Thanks. I donated my prize to shadders for his work on poolserverj.

and he loves you for it... not often I get donations direct from miners.  I guess psj is kind of below the radar for most miners which is kinda funny since it's actually their point of contact with the pool.

This is what happens when you make awesome software!

Speaking of awesome software, I have been keeping track of my payouts vs.  PPS and since I started mining at the pool, I'm at PPS + 20%! 

So as of right now, I am upping my donations to urstroyer for making such an awesome pool. Thanks!

[urstroyer]

We just broke the 200 GH/s barrier today! I wan't to thank all member for this milestone!

Brand new server is comming up next week and a bunch of new features and improvements were made this week. I'll post a summary tomorrow.

Can't seem to access the website.

[freshzive]

Yeah, seems to be down currently

Edit: miners down as well

[Inaba]

Heh, I was wondering why my hashrate keeps jumping all around. It seems some people use me as a backup pool to you... so everytime you go down, my hashrate doubles to 250 - 300 GH/s heh

[jamesg]

urstroyer has ordered a bigger server to help with the cpu spikes. He will also be installing monit to monitor and restart services if necessary. Unfortunately, every pool goes through growing pains and we are experiencing one now.

It's 3am in Germany, so he'll be up in a couple hours to restart the services.

Even with sporadic downtime, yourbtc is still the best pool around, hence the massive growth it has started to see. IMHO it will be a top ten sticked pool within the week.

[Pontius]

Pool is back online.

[jamesg]

It would now seem that yourbtc.net is a top ten pool. How do we get this tread stickied!

you wait for DiabloD3, to do the top 10 at his leisure usually every week or so...

Why are forum admin or moderator remove signature of yourbtc.net from user profiles like mine?
I think this is really odd, since other pool signatures are still online.

Anybody got a clue why this is happening?

Current Server Stability

As many of you already recognized, we experience some server stability issues recently.

In order to eliminate those issues whe migrating to a way more powerful server early this week.

More details will follow up soon. Thanks for your patience!

[teukon]

I've just gotten back and am glad to see that this pool is doing well (aside from the continuing server instability issue).  Reaching 200 GH/s, if only briefly, was unbelievable.  Does anyone know what caused this spike in hashing power?

@urstroyer: What's the situation with regard to the correct proportioning of share scores with respect to currently available transaction fees?  I noticed that while merged mining and the new PoolServerJ were being discussed that bitcoind 0.5 was mentioned (I forget where).  Certainly I'm not asking for such a tweak in the near future, I'm merely curious about the current state of affairs.

As soon as we migrated to the new server (which could be tomorrow) poolserverj will be updated to the newest release and of course bitcoind 0.5.
When we got that working, the total reward (B) for each submitted share will be block reward + transactionfees that would be incluced if the share would solve the block.

Eta should be next week!

Cool!  With such an update I believe it could be argued that yourbtc.net is less hoppable than most existing (possibly all) PPS pools!

[Inaba]

Err... PPS pools aren't hoppable by nature.  Can you clarify what you mean?  The de facto definition of hoppable is a pool where one can gain a monetary advantage by only submitting shares during a limited time/shares (typically 43.x% or 46.x%, I forget which) window.  While you could hop to and from a PPS pool, it will gain you no advantage.  So while every pool is hoppable, only certain pools will realize an advantage to a hopper.  Those that won't are typically considered unhoppable.  PPS falls into this definition by default.

[jamesg]

Looks like the pool is firing on all cylinders right now! 

It's so awesome to see this pool go from 10Gh to 150Gh we're running at now.

Welcome all new miners and thanks for making this pool awesome.
