What's going on with my account stats? My total worker shares have been slowly going down all day 

[1714217640]

I spotted some of the final sync issues that were being caused between the new UK server and the other servers.  Share totals are now being reported properly and not doubling up incorrectly on the My Account/API.  Last share time is also fixed on both, meaning miner idle emails are going to be started up again this evening.

All 4 servers had a pushpool update run today to keep them sync'd up properly in the event of a MySQL connection failure.

Block 473-474 were affected by the sync issue, and I'm working on rerunning the allocations on those blocks, giving users who were under-reported their actual rewards, but not taking away rewards from those who were not affected.  This reallocation will occur later tonight or early tomorrow.

I earned double what I would have expected in block 472 followed by none in 473, you might want to check 472 as well.

First time joining a Pool so im hoping i do it correctly.

[kokojie]

hmm website is down for me, anyone can open the site?

edit: sorry didn't realize I had to put www in front, otherwise it will appear as empty site.

[KJaneway]

works fine for me. Be Sure to add a www before btcguild.com. It is nesseccary since the have installed two new servers.

[jonnynogood]

none of my shares have shown up for this round and i am running 6 miners at about 1.3gh

some of the block stats are a bit strange as well.  they sometimes show up a -20 until confirmed  and the most recent #495 was confirmed instantly

#487 was instantly confirmed as well

[takrash]

Same here. No shares --> no unconfirmed rewards for (at least) this round.

EDIT: New shares coming again.

I still havent figured out why the heck long poll pushes from btcguild absolutely kills my miners!!

Those 4 LP pushes locked this particular GPU down...hard.  I have to reboot my ubuntu box completley once it locks like this.

And? don't like it? leave...we r happy to have solved those blocks quick, mundane technical problems are none of our concern. omfg im rofl-ing so faking hard...how can some ppl post a BS like CB? eh? O.o meow!

My point was two-fold.  First, for some odd ball reason I only received those long polls from the miner that was running on btcguild.  My deepbit miner DID NOT get those LPs.  I found this very very odd. 
Secondly. I have no idea why Long polling freaks out my GPU as much as it does.  Now, I dont contribute btcguild for that, its quite possible that phoenix and phtak are dying and hanging the gpu. I have not nailed it down yet.

Did BTCGuild get ddos or being ddos'd as well as Deepbit? Site is extremely slow and the round shares have reset a time or two with no changes on the block statistics page.

[Clipse]

Same issue here, guiminer also having issues reporting shares inside client.

It is mining though but website damn slow and I dont think the shares displayed on website is accurate.

[TheMoneyStorm]

I'm not having any problem with the website, but the statistics are out of wack again, eleuthria will take care of it as
soon as he's able to.

As long as your miners are submitting shares, Your getting credit on the backend, It's just the webstats that are messed
up.

http://www.btcguild.com/ is very slow for me too.
Try using https.  Much faster at the moment...  https://www.btcguild.com/

I found out that only 'account' part is slow, other parts such as index page and block history is still fast.

Current shares(including user's and site's) keep getting reset but round count is not advancing.

[relmeas]

the main page claims

9,584 workers at 1,496.59 GH/s
Round Time    4:46:03       Round Shares    611823

how is this even possible? this much shares are contributed in about 30 min at that speed...

[asfas16123]

lets hope it is solving blocks at all... doesnt look like it anymore.

[mrx]

Round shares get reset again. I think the pool just get another block, but the web interface is not working.

[eleuthria]

Last nights rounds have now been properly calculated.  Apache was locking up overnight which runs the front-end calculations.  Nothing was lost at all, and thanks to all the security checks I added for server sync, all the round data is in-tact, including accurate timestamps for each block's solve time.

To keep up with my track record, the technical cause of the issue was that the pool's massive expansion (we were capped at 550-600 GH/sec as of Monday, it is now at nearly 1.5 TH/sec on Sunday) finally found something new to break.  The Apache server had been modified only slightly to give the MaxClients value to the max of 256 (before adding a ServerLimit change, which I did this morning).  With the pool's massive growth, and the variety of apps/widgets out there which poll the API once per minute, the limit was just too low.  Luckily, the Apache side is hosted on US West, which has massive amounts of RAM and a much better processor than the slave servers, so increasing this value was not a problem.

[TheMoneyStorm]

Thanks for handling that so quick, You Rock!
