Once they're in a block they won't be in the unconfirmed transaction list, which is what un linked to.
True, but blockchain.info still knows about them, and you can use it compile a list of them. |

this seems to be happening alot? Are you getting hacked alot? Cant be this many hardware failures. not trying to be a smart ass or rude, just curious. I love mining here, just seems to be somewhat of a 'rough patch' lately! ##### edit ###### fixed already, that was quick, i was expecting to having to hunker-down for a few days of 'faith based' mining (pun intended, a nod and a wink for luke  ) |

It's probably the fact that Eligius is now well on the road to 7PH, when it was barely at 1PH a few months ago. Something's gotta give with that speed. |

Hi all, The couple of stats fail-safes over the past few days (none of which lasted very long) were due to orphaned blocks which required human double checking (long period of time between mining and actual network-side reorg of the block). One of several fail-safes that I'm working on writing code to eliminate the full need for a human double check. As everyone knows by now, the pool continues to work as normal and your earnings are tracked as normal when these happen and even when the entire webserver is completely offline. Any blocks found while in fail-safe mode generally do not have automated payouts however, because the system is in a state where it is unsure if those payouts would be correct until I give it the go ahead. Its not a hardware failure or a hack or anything, its just a security measure put in place to make sure that the pool doesn't double-pay anyone. It is much preferred that coins end up in the Eligius cold wallet then get manually paid out then for the pool double pay people and not have the funds to catch up. Since Eligius pays from the coinbase/generation transaction generally, things need to be pretty precise on this side. On another note, the frequency of which we find blocks has increased substantially. This is causing a minor amount fail-safe blocks to pay the cold wallet without automatic payouts a bit more often due to all of the sanity checking I have in the CPPSRB code. Sometimes it is not able to compile a new payout list for the next block before a miner actually finds a block. So, the payout queue (and next manual payout) gets larger when the block pays the offline wallet instead of miners directly. This isn't really an issue, and everyone is still paid and credited normally. However I am going to work to optimize the code so that the next payout list can be ready and fully verified a bit faster so this happens less often. Again, security related code in place here. I prefer security over convenience in this case, especially when it comes to the amount of funds handled here. I'd much rather manually pay everyone a little later, but correctly, than to have something not get verified and have even one person paid incorrectly. Anyway, aside from these minor items, all is well on this end! Happy mining, -wk |

I'd like to sponsor development of specific features you have said are on the list so that they get higher priority. Just let me know what is the best way to communicate and we'll get something worked out. Best, James |

I thank you for all your hard work, wk. My payment was only slightly delayed since yesterday and was successfully received about 5 hours ago. I'd much prefer it to be correct and fair than hasty, inaccurate, and a detriment to the pool, so I appreciate all your efforts. |

I guess I'm confused. You have nearly identical unpaid balances and nearly identical most recent payments (yesterday). |

You weren't mining for nearly 24 hours a little bit ago. Most likely you're being paid up for the shares after that. |

Not really following what that means but it slowly crept its way back. It was a shock to see that drop. First thing I did was check the total hashrate. The first thing that popped into my head was that some huge mining farm just came online and pointed themselves to this pool. |

A huge farm pointing itself to Eligius should not reduce any user's payout nor apparent hashrate. It should only reduce the variability. |

Same here. Probably took the website offline to update the stats page.

Makes sense. Wanted to be sure it wasn't a local network issue on my side.
Thanks for the post...
