richmke, that speaks bad for the configuration on the miners, don't you have a backup pool? Like EU primary, useast as backup1, etc? This way when any falls it just switches till it is over.

I start cgminer with a batch file. How can i setup a backup pool in the batch file?

cgminer.conf file maybe?

Never done, I use configs, but: http://worldcoinforum.org/topic/943-how-to-add-a-backupfail-safe-pool-in-cgminer-guide/

add the following at the end of your existing batch script
--failover-only -o stratum+tcp://blah -u blah -p blah

basically the basic cgminer command without the --scrypt flag

Hi,

When everything stablise, will there be an Asia server for WafflePool?

Thanks

Yep, its actually up and running, just not in DNS yet.  Moved USE and EU to new servers late last night, and then my internet went down (working off a tethered 3g connection now, hooray).  Going to move USW over to the new servers, and then make sure SEA is up and running. I'll post back (and put it on the site).

The next time you are doing something that will take the servers off-line, can you please post a message on the Stats page? Advanced warning would be nice so I can point my miners somewhere else. Lost 8 hours of mining because I could not reset my miners when I am away from home.

I mentioned it multiple times in the thread, as well as on the home page for a few days (that there might be a tiny bit of downtime and to setup a failover pool).  When it was actually changed over, there wasn't more than a couple hours of up/down time (where servers were constantly switching), and during that time it was more a matter of just disconnect/reconnects as connections were switched to the new servers and back to the old, definitely shouldn't be 8 hours of mining time (from start to finish of the full switchover was about 4).

That said, a backup pool is _always_ a good idea.  In case we get DDOS'd, or we have emergency upgrades (or planned upgrades), its good to have your miners automatically jump to a working set of servers (either another cluster of ours, or somewhere else).

How are the new servers looking so far?

Definitely better.  That said, not as good as I was hoping   Adding SEA might help (some users will move from eu/usw to sea).  I was hoping the new servers would give us room to potentially double capacity, but it doesn't look like we got that.  First estimates are maybe +50%, instead of +100%, meaning theres some limits we're running into that are a bit tougher to track down (potentially network bandwidth, latency, buffer sizes, kernel parameters, etc).

Once these are up and good, I'm going to start working on optimizing the actual stratum servers a bit further (read: rewriting pieces).  We shouldn't be capping out this large of boxes at the current loads, which normally means poorly written code somewhere

Nothing has moved/changed in terms of the web/api server.  The only things I've changed are the stratum endpoints (where your clients connect to)

it says remote api not reachable...
is it okay for you?

Aye, not in a long time tho, now in mobile device development... that does not mean I don't use customers to test my programs
Thing I don't like about high-level languages and compiler optimizations is that the result often defies logic and I'm even further away from the days of looking assembly code generated by some crap to see what can be done. Just out of curiosity - what is the server coded on?

I'm using the gridseed miners, and the controller does not have a failover option. Also, it apparently does not try to reconnect. I'm working on getting a raspberry pi controller, but for now, I need a stable mining pool.

[danilom]

so the pool is working yes or not?
i pointed my workers 11hours ago, and still no payout....

how many payout do the pool /day ?

i used the syntax #myBTCadd_Workername as user IS OK?

thanks all

I'm still pulling data with no issue, so pretty sure its not a wafflepool issue.

[phrozenspite]

poolwaffle, i'm not sure if this would be profitable/practical for a switching pool, but have you considered merge mining some of the coins that can act as secondary chains?  I noticed this pool has a few http://manicminer.in/

I wasn't aware of those.  I'll check out how difficult it is to implement

My python scripts pulling data from API also broke.  It seems related to new DDOS protection that was implemented a couple days ago.  I got back up and running by emulating proper browser headers in requests to API.
