Waiting for a blockchain download before the pool comes back online. It takes a while to get those last 20k blocks or so!

0.23% stale so far today... awesome

I'm experimenting with a cjdns interface to the pool. Running cjdns provides a virtual ipv6 address and allows connecting to the virtual ipv6 addresses of other nodes connected in the cjdns network. The traffic is encrypted and the real IP address of the endpoints are hidden. One possible feature of this would be avoiding pool DDOS problems. If you'd like to experiment with this:

1. Install cjdns from https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns
2. Connect to a cjdns peer. Possibly one from the public peer list or PM me for a connection to one of my nodes.
3. Point your miner to: http://[fc9f:ee0a:c283:c945:ede0:8a59:78e7:99d6]:16098. Longpolling also runs over cjdns.
4. Access the main pool website for withdrawals at: http://[fc9f:ee0a:c283:c945:ede0:8a59:78e7:99d6]:90/pool

This is an experiment and I'm interested in the performance of it. let me know your feedback if you try it.

There will be a few minutes downtime as I update the bitcoin version running on the pool sometime in the next hour.

Upgrade done, pool is back online.

Can your pool handle bitforce singles and others asics joining in october?

I'm currently working on pool backend improvements to enable it to scale better in case there's a dramatic increase in load, so hopefully. I'm certainly working towards it.

There were a few periods of downtime today while I updated some components of the pool. The downtime was just stopping and starting the pool so should only have been a few seconds. There was a period of increased stales during that time lasting about 5 minutes while I fixed a misbehaving component. The changes reduce the cpu load of the pool enabling it to handle load better. I was previously using the namecoin merge mining proxy to handle the merge mining. This was written in Python and becoming a bottleneck so I rewrote it in a lower level language to get better performance.

For some strange reason, the last two BTC transactions that I've received from withdrawing from the pool aren't getting any confirmations. I simultaneously made a withdrawal from MtGox and it has received 6 confirmations already. This was over an hour ago. Is this unusual?

I see two unconfirmed transactions. I'm looking into it now.

And as I wrote that one got confirmed. Can you let me know if they still show unconfirmed for you? It looks like the bitcoin network is under a fair bit of load. My node as almost 2000 transactions in the memory pool. That might be why things are taking longer to confirm.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I sent you a PM with a few more details. So far I am not seeing any confirmations on my end, nor through blockchain.info. Most likely the network is lagged or something.

Looks like confirmations are starting to trickle in. Thanks again and no worries.

Pool down due to a daemon crash. Bringing it back up now.

Thanks for being so on top of things!  I'm gonna send you another 3ghash.

Pool is having issues with the bitcoin daemon hanging. I've restarted it again and will monitor it to try and find out the problem.

Due to issues with i0coin mining I've had to withdraw support for it from the pool. Unfortunately the number of stales from the coin make it not break even for the pool to pay a reasonable PPS rate for it. The pool has been making a loss mining i0coin coins and has been covering the shortfall with existing i0coin funds which are now depleted. Existing users with a registered i0coin address will continue to receive coins for a short period of time until it is turned off and withdrawals will remain enabled for longer. Once withdrawals are turned off all remaining i0coins will be sent to users registered i0coin address.

Why don't you raise i0coin fee?
To 5% or maybe more... (but only for i0coin )
