Yep this is just too much.......
The pool is continually playing up.
This is the first I've heard of this. Are you on getwork or stratum? giving the miners work then continually rejecting it.... with "unknown-work"
'unknown-work' means work is being submitted to the pool that it didn't serve. What mining software are you using? Do you have backup pools configured with it? Do you have any logs you can provide to look into it? |

If this is biased on my comment it is my fault that I have problems. I see them in CGminer but can't trace them and I saw a clue that my speed changes when switching pools. I'm looking on a way to trace that. But it is complicity problem with my setup. |

It looks like you fixed 3.x bug... Since you reported the fix not one disconnect or jump.
Fantastic! Thanks for letting me know. Disconnects are back. I have them now for 5 hours... EDIT: They are so bad that I had to change the pool... Had 3 cgminer crashes in 1 hour... |

WTF happen? Block found 14 minutes ago but not send for 10 minutes and and BTC Guild found it. Or did you reset block data by mistake?
EDIT: Pool down?

Had to do a quick bitcoind update to fix pool issues over the last couple of hours. You'll have seen a few restarts during that time. |

The pool was a block behind the mainnet at the time the block was found and it was immediately orphaned on restart of bitcoind when it caught up on mainnet. The reason the pool lost connection with mainnet is due to a bitcoind issue that I've now patched and applied in the last restart. I'll write more about that when I can. I've left the block as pending to investigate further tomorrow (it's 3:30am here). This is the orphan data btw - block 242435: {
"address" : "18cSDzSuRa4BtfKNu4qAPfeiS57uC9kER4",
"category" : "orphan",
"amount" : 25.05510000,

I would like to know the % of orphans other pools have, because I still have the feeling that this pool has a fairly high ratio.

This most recent orphan was caused by a bitcoind issue that an emergency patch was supplied for. The issue caused the bitcoin daemon that the pool daemon was hidden behind to crash due to OOM and the pool daemon no longer received updates. It's unfortunate but not much could be done about bitcoind bugs. |

I can tell you that all pools have problems since 0.8.1. Before that it was normal to have 1 to 2 %. Slush record is 3 orphans in a day... It is more of a bitcoind issues lately. I first thought WTF but when I got explanation I perfectly OK with it. |

You know I'm on strat because we HAVE discussed this.. that is why you 'retired' some servers. I have TWO Identical accounts under different usernames on the servers with IDENTICAL settings and yet one continually plays up. I.E Stratum worker authorization timed out 2013-06-21 18:31:22.532 [400] *USERID*_Stratum2: Successfully subscribed to Stratum service 2013-06-21 18:31:25.196 [350] Worker_H01_12: Found share:

I get quite a few emails and requests for support, it's helpful if you answer questions in a civil tone with the information requested so we can move towards a solution. If you're not willing to do this I suggest you mine elsewhere. |

It appears that not all of my shares are being counted. I restarted my miners right at the last block to make it easier to count, and since I have been seeing a discrepancy lately, and about 20% of the submitted shares are not showing on the stats page. No errors on my end. Shares are not being reported as rejected.
I have also noted some lag on the stats page where a few refreshes inside of a minute or so will show just about everything changing except my shares, and then If I keep refreshing eventually the shares will jump by a significant portion.
Is it possible the missing shares have not been added to the stats yet? Twenty percent seems like a large portion to be missing especially 4 hours into the block.
I only have 2 miners (400Ghs each). They are both connecting on port 3333 using the same credentials. Given that about 1/5th of the shares are not being reported on the stats page it is not a problem with one miner working and one not. There are too many shares reported for one miner but not enough for them both.

If you're not willing to do this I suggest you mine elsewhere. I have been civil, and this is a poor attempt at deflection There is more than 20Gh I can point at your pool, but if I have to continually adjust my costings and monitor the setup so I don't loose money (something you are being paid to manage), then I can just as easily point it at Elgius. You provide a chargeable service, perhaps it would be conducive to your pools health if you started to act like it, or perhaps it is YOU that should not be in this business. But I will take your suggestion.... If your system can hold together long enough to for me to meet the minimum target for payout. To that end I have thrown 4GH/s at your pool to see how long it can go without serious issues, but the pool has already started to 'pull' downwards. Elgius shows the same allocation as >4.4GH/s  |
