I thought the S1s were strictly failover. I figure you could probably edit /etc/init.d/cgminer to add the --failover-only to your secondary and tertiary pools, but OOTB, it's not there.
Yes, they are, but apparently the DDOS attacks were causing some miners to disconnect, which would make them failover to the backup pool. The DDoS ( or perhaps the attempts at mitigating it ) appears to be limiting the amount of connections to the stratum servers. No matter how many different ways I restart these ant s1's, only 2 of the three will connect / report an 'alive' mining connection. |

Then you only have one connection going in. I use slush's stratum proxy here w/o an issue. M |

Yes, they are, but apparently the DDOS attacks were causing some miners to disconnect, which would make them failover to the backup pool. That's my point... since the S1 is failover, if it was disconnected from Eligius due to DDOS attack, it wouldn't go back to Eligius without a reboot (or changing the pool configurations). They wouldn't "leak" shares, they'd simply stop mining on Eligius altogether. Nope they don't failover until they are rebooted, cgminer will check the connection every 3 mins or so and if the Eligius connection is available, it'll switch back again. |

What are your pool settings on the miner? I get close to 1TH/s consistently +- 10%. The diff on the miner config is set to 256. Last difficulty reported in the miner.php page is usually 512 when I check it, sometimes higher. Also, no issues with my antminers or BFLs connecting. This last block is a doozy... Regarding the MiTM attack that some users reported, are those users able to see the payout address used by sniffing the outgoing packets? Is there a white list of Eligius IPs I can configure in my routers for mining traffic or any other addresses other than the one reported to block? So there is no way ... because dragon miners need the difficulty to be handled be the pool . I try the dragon miner on Eligius and does not give normal speed See if the Dragon miner people will provide a sample unit and docs so I can implement BFGMiner support. Besides having support from the leading mining software, BFGMiner support avoids bugs like this. I think that Eligius experts must take care of this problem and contact them to find some kind of solution. I like Eligius but I am forced now to go to BTC Guild |

Why in the world should outgoing packets contain payout address? |

I like Eligius but I am forced now to go to BTC Guild I have two dragons working on Eligius. They started with more than 1 TH but soon went down to about 600 Gh. It turned out that Lketc had used bad cables for powering the boards. Finally, when they were burning and the PSU went to electronic heavan, a new PSU did the trick. Since then, no problem at all with Eligius (but I swear: Never again, I'll order a Dragon...) |

Are we still being credited for NMC? If so where can we check the balance?

Does anyone know how to get in contact with Eligius? I dont care if the web is down but I really hope mining is proceeding! The last block was over 7 hours long and I am renting some miners right now... could be a big loss for me.

My miners all are working, it is obviously only the website which is affected (ddos again???) Well, long blocks are part of the pool-luck... |

+1 for owning your own gear. Mining up for me - 3x S1s. |

I'm new to this, I don't know if they do or don't, I should read up on stratum to have a better understanding of how it works and sniff the traffic to understand what's being sent over the wire. Can someone can explain how the hijacked work is redirected/attributed to someone else? Please excuse my inexperience/lack of understanding. From what I've read in this thread it sounds like work is hijacked and sent to another pool, is that correct? Is the theory that the stats pages are being attacked to mask what's happening to miners by preventing them from seeing their stats? Regarding the MiTM attack that some users reported, are those users able to see the payout address used by sniffing the outgoing packets? Is there a white list of Eligius IPs I can configure in my routers for mining traffic or any other addresses other than the one reported to block?

Why in the world should outgoing packets contain payout address? The MITM attack isn't rewriting the payout address of your workers. It's actually redirecting you to a different mining server, which is why your stats stop working. If you're affected, you'd see your speed drop off on Eligius. However, it WOULD be possible to see the Bitcoin address that coins are being mined to on the attacker's server. The stratum work messages include the coinbase which has the payout address in it. That is, assuming the server you're redirected to is it's own mining pool and not a proxy to another mining pool/service. |

something is up today - i have been unable to properly load the stats page all morning, now its a 502
atop of that, all my miners went offline briefly nd just started mining normally again ~2minutes ago. not sure if this was a pool issue or a network blip on my end though, since my teamviewer link dropped off briefly as well (but seemingly after the miners stopped hashing)
I like eligius a lot as a pool, but whatever is causing these DDOS attacks needs to be dealt with properly rather that just fail-safeing the stats page every other day
