Speed of my workers just halved and total Pool speed also down significantly to around 1800GH/sec Strange ! It's back up again

... Failover when a sub-pool crashes takes about 4-6 seconds to kick in, meaning you can point your miners at one IP and it will automatically put them at an internal pool. ...
So it sounds like you are collapsing the multiple names (uswest, useast, uscentral) down to a single address with multiple servers behind it. If this is the case, please post the DNS name of this "one IP" as soon as possible so that we can get our miners reconfigured. (And point that DNS somewhere useful in the meantime... ) Thanks for the hard work.

Im getting lots of miner iddles. The weird thing is that if I restart the miner they will get work.
All this disconnects are probably why the total output of the pool dropped to 1800. The situation is getting ridiculous.

If this is the case, please post the DNS name of this "one IP" as soon as possible so that we can get our miners reconfigured. (And point that DNS somewhere useful in the meantime... ) Thanks for the hard work. When the new server is ready, all the US pool DNS entries will be pointed towards the new pool. 24 hours after that happens, I will shut off the other pools (US East and US Central). I will post the IP for manual pointing if your computer has an error with resolving the name (DNS caching gone awry). Regarding today's huge number of issues: I just finished filtering out large portions of the networks that were attacking the servers today. Mostly they were hitting DE1/DE2, but the rules are now on all servers. If you ended up getting caught in the ban, send me a PM or a support email with your IP address and I'll whitelist you. I know these problems were terrible today, but this is the same kind of attack DeepBit had to deal with a few weeks ago. The problem with DDoS prevention is that mining looks a LOT like a DDoS, especially when a server is having connection trouble. Standard DDoS filtering techniques will end up having an obscene number of false positive bans on a pool server.

Before you guys try freaky shit with your servers maybe you could send out a warning e-mail.
Profits are razor thin for me I don't know about others
I'm sorry, the next time we have unplanned server issues I'll make sure to warn everybody in advance. ... I LOLed

Hashing rate on my miners going down again. So is the total pool hashing rate. Something is wrong again.... Oh well, will be solved as usual

I've switched my 6990 miners back to Deepbit. Sorry man, but your servers are experiencing some significant downtime over here. (Boston, East Coast, USA)
When I log into the My Account page, I get: "Failed to connect to EU DE BTCGuild."
Hopefully this gets resolved soon.

Looks like it was just solved, but something must have been goofed up again:

more coins more problems. Glad I switched pool before the weekend but I'll be back when the new servers are online

You can not roll a BitCoin, but you can rollback some. Roll me back: 1NxMkvbYn8o7kKCWPsnWR4FDvH7L9TJqGG

" I need you guys to come up with a list of all unknown issues and prioritize them immediately." They figured out (after a bit) that I was BS'ing 'em to make a point to the big dogs. Unfortunately I think my bosses boss like the idea :-( Skip

Sent you PM with my IP and userid.
Lost connection to central about 3:30am and still couldn't connect at noon today (CDT). I can't tell the reason as I can ping central up in Dallas from down here in Austin. 1 machine connected to east didn't have any problems. I've moved the others to east for now.
Slept in today so didn't catch this for about 8 hours :-(
Skip
UPDATE: 9pm CDT, still no connections to central server but east working fine.

New registrations have been disabled until our new server is in Chicago, or a fix to pushpool's scaling is found, whichever comes first. Estimated time of the new server coming online is July 11th-15th (shipping it this week).
I'll be bringing back NL1 and NL2 tomorrow (and pointing their DNS entries back) to alleviate the stress. They're much weaker than the other servers, but its better than nothing, even if it does slow down API/My Account pages.

Put in some filters to stop the botnet(s) that were pointed at the servers. IMMEDIATELY saw a performance boost to the servers. Will monitor the results overnight to see if banning THOUSANDS of CPU miners cures the problems.
If you're having trouble connecting after the filters were put in place, send me a PM. Botnets need not apply.
Registrations have been re-opened due to the servers showing an incredible recovery after the bans.
The account balance of the botnet has been donated to Bitcoin Faucet.

Well it is sporadically working on/off for last 10min or so now.
But mostly not working, ie disconnected, failed to connect, queue empty, miner idle etc.

Lesson learned. Filtering out a botnet ends up in a DDoS. I guess they had to do SOMETHING with all those computers.
