[~1000 GH/sec] BTC Guild - 0% Fee Pool, LP, SSL, Full Precision, and More

[minerX]

Severs having problems again?  Lots of idle miners and TCP timeout errors in the last few minutes....

Yar.  Deepbit is down and I think a few others as well.  Can you move US servers to europe?

We had a DDoS attack, but the pool is not down at this moment.

I can not access your webpage at the moment. Tried three times.

UK server coming online soon.  Also ordered a US Central server.  This isn't the most effective way, but right now with our rate of growth there simply isn't enough time to make completely custom pool software.

eu.btcguild.com  will auto balance between the NL and UK server, so the current overloading of EU server should die off soon after the new server comes up.

Hey everyone...first time mining on BTC Guild...I've had the same estimated reward since 11 am today (so roughly 5 hours) and nothing is showing up under unconfirmed rewards? Is this normal?

[Carnth]

Me as well.  Idling a lot.  Getting many "Warning: work queue empty, miner is idle".

Eleuthria is prepping the new UK server. There are going to be many issues as the servers are re-balanced.
Again, you patience is appreciated.

As always, you can configure your miner to mine at a backup pool especially if you use poclbm.exe.
Run two instances of poclbm per GPU. Use the "f" command to give one pool priority over another. -f30 to one pool will have priority over -f60 on a second pool. This will split your GPU processing power to about 92% | 8% between the two pools. If one pool is idle, poclbm will automatically shift your mining power to the backup. This is even easier to setup and monitor using guiminer.
This has worked flawlessly for me and has always kept my GPUs at 100% through BTC Guild's growing pains.

I switched after Deepbit went down again earlier today. Now that BTC Guild is up to 20% of total BTC computer power I don't plan to switch back .

[eleuthria]

UK Server is now online and running.  I recommend everybody use btcguild.com as their miner address to eventually cause the most even distribution of work among the servers.  However, if your performance is suffering, the following addresses are available:

=== Preferred (By Me) ===
btcguild.com

=== 2nd Best ===
us.btcguild.com  :  Points to US West / US East (and eventually US Central)
eu.btcguild.com  :  Points to EU (NL) / EU (UK)

=== Last Priority ===
useast.btcguild.com : US East (Florida)
uswest.btcguild.com : US West (California)
uk.btcguild.com : UK
nl.btcguild.com : Netherlands

Please only use the last priority series of servers if you are having problems with a specific server.

[eleuthria]

UK server bug has been fixed.  I did not log out and back in after updating the limits.conf to allow the pushpool user to run more than 1024 connections.

[MrGaSp]

Looking good, 4 servers at 300-350GH/s.

I am wondering though, mind making a total speed stat? (if theres already one, mind pointing it out? =P )
Edit: nvm looked and see the big bold letters -.-

[aznsniper911]

Was there a slow down today or something? I originally had only my single 6970 mining on BTC Guild then today I decided to add my second 6970 but it seems my Bitcoins earned is lower then that of a single 6970 from the last two days.

[hugolp]

The main page, btcguild.com is down. It shows the apache "It works!" message.

EDIT: I take that back. It seems http://www.btcguild.com works fine, but http://btcguild.com has not been correctly redirected and shows the "It works" message.

Same here, just before it went down.

You're great Eleuthria,
I was having issues for the last couple of days, thought i'll be fixed when EU server comes up, which for a while worked out, but issues came again until a while ago when you kicked the UK server on-line. Great support!
Im increasing the donation percentage a tad higher!

Weird earned statistics:

475   130056    2011-06-11 15:03:10    0:31:12 duration    47 my shares 0.00550424 earned. This would be 107Mh/s for me during this round.

That makes like 1.5 shares per minute, I had a look at poclbm and I wasn't able to find this slowdown within 2hours. I have 2x 6950 doing at ~670Mh/s total.

Previously I also got this kind of round:

464   129962    2011-06-11 05:38:38    0:40:54 duration   1117   my shares 0.04807224 earned. 1955Mh/s over 40mins...


So there's something weird going on..

This happened to me too, i submitted 5 shares and none of them got counted, and weren't counted as stale either :S i changed to the eu server and it had the same problem, so i tried the UK one and it fixed it wierd problem though.

[fasti]

ah.. must be side effect of this problem:

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7760.msg194957#msg194957

guess we will see ~random earnings until this is fixed? :)

[BookLover]

Has anyone noticed that guiminer slows down and only ~80% GPU power after running ~30min?  I'm also getting about 2.5% stale shares and the error "warning, job finished, miner idle" a lot, is there any way to fix this?

I'm running two miners per core one pointed at btcguild.com with the flags -v -w 128, the other pointed at mine1.btcguild.com with the flags -v -w 128 -f 37.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Eleuthria!

P.S. I'm running through Tor.

[CubedRoot]

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.

[William Reed]

How long does it take get this fixed? I just saw over 5000 shares disappear from my worker summary.

Lovely pool, awesome community.
