Ok, new efficient PPLNS pool is running on s3.mining.eligius.st. Use at your own risk-- it's obviously quite untested so far. Until we find the first block, both stats and time-based fee are known to be broken (that means you get less basically-no-fee-anyway until then!)  Primary DNS names will remain pointed at Europe until it finds its last block... |

Looking good so far. Latency/getwork seems much better, for a start... often got up towards 5-10% fewer shares/hour on Eligius-EU compared to other EU pools lately, but number 3 seems to be up to the task. Will be interesting to see how the payout system works. I'm putting a little something in the donation jar... I think you might need a cold beer and some rest after setting this up...  |

I'm running windows and I want to send a non-standard transaction to Eligius because it would be cheaper
what's the easiest way to do this?

I hope things get better at eligius. The luck hasn't been good along with this downtime. 8 Million share block then 19 hours for only a 3 million share block plus 2 invalid blocks.  just wtf get out of here. This new server seems to be doing well so far 2mil shares no block yet but given the current difficulty its not unreasonable so far plus I like this new payout system. My estimated reward just keeps going up over time.  |

Yay! It found its first block ca. an hour ago! Let's hope for some nice short rounds.  |

Just an update... Eligius-3 seems to be running stable now. |

what does "hoppers ok" mean? It means pool hoppers are welcome to hop into (or out of) the pool at any time. They will not be punished for doing so-- nor will they be paid more than the fair earnings for the work they do. |

Why is the share rejection rate of Eligius for me consistently worse than other pools with LP? I've seen Continuum, Bitcoin Pool, Eclipse, and even bitcoin.cz (which doesn't have LP) all do better than Eligius in this respect. Yeah, this concerns me as well. Every time I look at my miner to check if it's doing ok, within minutes it shows a "timeout - can't connect" warning and about 8% of the found shares do never get to Eligius. That is also why my hashrate is under-reported. After the next payout I will give BTCGuild another try. Try the bleeding-edge DiabloMiner (I don't know what version; Diablo just fixed it a few days ago) or my branch of poclbm, both of which have been made more robust to handle network issues (which should hopefully be much less with the big upgrade). Since I'm in the US, that's probably part of the reason why the first three were getting less stale shares, as they are closer (and Eligius' US server has been down for a while). However, since bitcoin.cz is in Europe and doesn't use LP, I'm not sure what to say about it. I'll have to run some more tests at some point, but right now, I've decided to stick with pools that are closer by. When will Eligius have a US server back up? |

US balances have been paid in full via a standard sendmany transaction (txid: 451718e781fe39e6014d0000f891659d571eff25995e943b864a641b412dcd62). Since I didn't pay a fee, the network won't relay it, and you won't see it until it's confirmed, which should be no later than Eligius-3's next block. Assuming no problems, I plan to do the same for Europe's balances. |

Despite what Artefact2's stats page says, our last block is valid (and has 2 confirmations as of the time of writing this). It included, in addition to the usual Eligius-3 payouts, also the sendmany for all the US balances. This means that if you had a US balance remaining, it should now be paid in full. Please report if there seems to be any problem with it. If I don't hear any problems with the US payouts, I will plan to do the same for EU balances on Thursday.

I was wondering how I got paid for block listed as invalid I believe the shares counter on the main page will need a reset too as its currently at 1,600,000+ |

Is the threshold for normal payments now set to .33 as you mentioned it would be in an earlier post, or is this temporary?

Since Luke-jr took down EU, my local bitcoin node had no connections, thus marking new blocks as invalid. [Edit: fixed.] |

Shared Max PPS seems to be working. First block that paid me came just about 24 hours after the new pool started and I currently have 0.483... BTC maturing in my wallet, which I believe is more or less what the ~700Mhash/s I have in the pool should be expected to generate in a day at current difficulty. So, that would be some real world approximate numbers. In case someone is interested. |
