[ Bonus PPS Pool - 130% PPS - OPEN ]

[Clipse]

Most of the users have since connected without gpumax and there is none of the issues

That seems to work, and it's mining for a while now, but the stats page is showing me as 0 hash rate and no new shares, is the site working properly?

Ive posted about that a few posts up, I dont have power atm they are working on the circuit since we had heavy rain here the last 2 days something got flooded.

I was still busy on server and before powering down I just made sure the pool came back up thus couldnt get updater for webstats going yet, it will be up as noted before as soon as my power comes back on.

I gotta learn to read. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't submitting my shares into no-where

Caught up with the shares and updater running again.

Still not sure why the connection from gpumax to pool break things, direct connections to pool however seems unaffected.

GPUmax suxors?

[Clipse]

GPUmax suxors?

Nah it worked great and zux who manages GPUMAX is really great at what he does. Somewhere something changed rather than just broke on its own and Im sure once that is located things will be purring along from GPUMAX to bonuspool.

That said, it broke bonuspool without any changes made on bonuspool side so I really hope he will know exactly what might have triggered the flooding from GPUMAX side.

[AndrewBUD]

Good to hear

[Clipse]

Im just glad things are up and running again.

You have no idea how frustrated and psychotic it made me as I work remotely on the server while it was down and then between struggling to figure out what is killing the server I had to deal with 20-30 blackouts before they came to our house to tell us that we should probably power off for the next couple of hours because they are working on the main grid that got flooded.

[AndrewBUD]

Ouch That's no fun. If you have local power outages does that affect the pool server at all ?

Nah, pool is in datacentre in another country

But it didnt help having me work on it(was busy with the LB stuff) and then power outtages on my side leaving the pool down until I get back on however just to be greeted with another power outtage.

EDIT: So now that all is up and running and I can actually remain online I will send through the payments within the next hour, crazy day.

[Clipse]

PAYMENTS PROCESSED:

All Pure PPS + Bonus PPS for 21 June 00:00:00 - 23 June 23:59:59 paid.

Thanks...

URGENT NOTICE FOR GPUMAX USERS:

Until further notice please dont point any traffic through GPUMAX to Bonuspool, I am blocking traffic from GPUMAX until I can resolve whatever is causing the problems from GPUMAX -> BONUSPOOL that started yesterday.

If you dont stop pointing to Bonuspool in GPUMAX there is a good chance GPUMAX admins will ban your account so please make these changes urgently.

I hope to figure this problem out soon but this is the best I can do for now.

URGENT NOTICE FOR GPUMAX/BACKUP POOL USERS:

I will discontinue support for backup users, this includes GPUMAX users and users who only use us as their backup pool wherever they mine otherwise when the next payment cycle start Thursday June 28, 00:00:00. I am busy working on a whole new upgrade that will be able to support on/off users such a GPUMAX / Backup users along with the Dedicated miners however I will not have it in place along with other changes by Thursday.

Dedicated miners can continue mining as usual and I will keep the rates at 110% right now for you however if you are a GPUMAX/Backup user and end up using Bonuspool on Thursday onwards you will have to either continously dedicate xGH to Bonuspool or stop using Bonuspool since I will be enforcing for the first time the anti-hopping policy with regards to Bonuspool which I have not used once since the start in February.

Right now while I work on scaling the pool I am more than happy just to deal with dedicated miners who keeps a continous reliable flow to the pool and in return I can ensure the best PPS rate along with the best performance I have to offer.

So to recap:

Dedicated miners you have no changes coming your way. Keep your hashrate stable without obvious fluctuations and you will be fine.

GPUMAX/Backup pool users you should stop pointing your hashes at Bonuspool on Thursday 28 June 00:00:00 and if you want to continue you can become a Dedicated miner by pointing a steady flow of GH at Bonuspool without obvious fluctations which I will be looking out for this time around and you will be penalised according to the original signup email.

Hopefully I can resolve the scaling fast and bring both types of miners back onto the pool however for now its just not possible with the current setup.

Feel free to email or PM me if you are unclear about the changes mentioned above and I will be happy to clarify it personally.

Awesome to hear, thanks Clipse.

Gosh, am I ever glad my 2 Ghashes pushed us over the top to be self-sufficient! 

I think this to be a very fair and reasonable solution, I know that the server was going nuts all weekend, so calming it down is only reasonable.

That's fine by me. I'm sure it is too early to ask but do you have any idea what this rate would be?

[Clipse]

If you refer to GPUMAX/Backup users who keep connected and jumping around on/off they will be warned fairly early and if they persist then I will pay them at 90% as was the rule from the start yet I was lenient enough never to enforce it even after having multiple users who simply ignored any signup instructions given by me.

So right now I want to focus on getting things as stable as possible first for dedicated miners and then get GPUMAX/Backup users back on a seperate node and they will also be earning at a different rate to be announced once I am ready to have them back on.

I got things set up, and it seems to be mostly working.  I'm using cgminer 2.4.3, and I've seen some messages like:

Pool 0 not providing work fast enough

New block detected on network before longpoll

Are these normal/expected?

Im looking to get that fixed but its mainly due to the ton of Backup users who will have to leave by tomorrow night then these few slow work issues will be resolved.

Ok i have been using BAMT for like a year with not problems.

The last 3 days have been hell since i tried to get cgiminer working instead of phat2.

well lets just say it NEVER worked right.  Went thru the process in the bamt posting here about how to upgrade to the newest cgiminer in bamt.
All seemed to go fine but it just never worked.

SO i just gave up. 

I just erased all the backup pools i had listed after bonus pool and am going with phat2.

So i am hard coded to here so Clipse you can't go down ok

I had to get rid of my backup pools since for some reason i was constantly switching to my backups.  Bonus pool was not down but some of my miners would switch and of course never switch back till i noticed then did a reboot.

Meanwhile a 6990 has been sitting dead in one of my other rigs for a week now while i mess with cgiminer. Who knows what the 6990's problem is.

lets just say i am not impressed with cgiminer.
