you doing an ip range? or just selected ips? (just wondering if you're covering dynamic PIs, I've been on the wrong side of a stick when someone else has been banned off a site and my IP was in the same range)

You're unlikely to be hit unless you did something ...

i was using a 3G connection at the time, so i probably was part of an IP pool from the isp, that the forum blanket banned..
there were thousands of users on that forum, a reset of connection fixed my issue, so it'll unlikely happen on the pool for dynamic ip range banning.

i still find it funny that people are trying to find a hole to get into the server via the api/front end ...

It's pretty standard to find people trying all sorts of stuff on your internet servers.
Happens even at home for me but that happens to everyone, just most people don't see it, I (of course) run everything at home linux including my internet connection being a linux server, so I can see what is actually going on.

Hmm quiet on the front.
Well we found another block - so that's good
The pool had the recent issue not long after we found the block, so we did a few software switches that caused all sorts of trouble and then we're back to ok again.

We'll probably do one (or more) again later - but again - as we can see, it's not affecting the pool luck at all (luck has been, well, very good for the last 3 blocks) but unfortunately a few short, or very short outages in between.
Pool rate has picked up so that's the 2nd important thing (after find blocks)

cheapest option over net+phone line rental, but hell, once i went to dsl and paying 2x as much for "unlimited" data, i don't think i can go back without a fight...

running hax'ed up kubuntu on this laptop, i would run it on my game system, once all my games can run on it, and when i get my but motivated again, 15 systems here going to be clustered up with MicroCore linux

when i was 3g'ing, had IPcop running the connection to 3G and squid caching the webs onto a 50GB drive, damn that dropped my quota usage, just needed to download what was needed, pull the rest off the drive. when google decided to change is logo every week, it made hell for the cache, i seen a different logo for every different tab and page.

Also..
2 block in just 3 hours, nice.

Suggestion:

It might have already been ruled out, but having the "when" information for the blocks on the "Rewards" & "Payments" screens would be nice for when you are looking at a specific date range.  I find myself having to flip to the "blocks" page to get the block range based on dates and then to the other pages to compute rewards.

Probably not on the Rewards page - it's already very wide in it's current layout.

The Payments page, yeah still not done the blockchain transaction verification, but there's quite a bit of space - will depend on what I need to add (i.e. I've not decided yet)

i put both of my s3s on this pool to test it out.. my s5 is on solo pool till the diff hits 50b.

anyway i noticed on the shift graph some how i can list both of my workers separately..
its default with ALL on worker1.

i dont know what to put in the box to list them individually.

never mind i wasnt doing it right, i had worker1 and worker2 but i didnt put the . in front..

its fixed and working..



edit.. some reason my s3s keep showing this pool is down and switching to my backup pool for a few minutes every hour or so.. any reason why?

Still working on the problems but it's not every hour

There were a few of times when we've been restarting things a few times in a row over a short period though.

The pool uptime now lies
There's 2 parts to how it's running at the moment but the time on the web is the main backend that doesn't always get restarted when we make changes.
Not sure if I should just remove it from the web page for now until everything is solved, or leave it.
The last restart was everything so it's correct at the moment.

Edit: actually the (long) sharp spikes down on the pool graph should show most of the restarts that mean a failover.

Very interesting. I may point some has at this soon as I am currently back in "testing the waters mode". p2pool has been good to me and I've roi'd on 2 s1's but starting to see non-paying blocks. I'll be over shortly, have a beer waiting for me  

Well if I can update the S1/S2/S3 driver in a few days hopefully more of the S's will join too

I don't understand ? 

I have had s1 s2 and s3 s here and they work fine. Why do you need a new driver?

I still have s2s and s3s here.

Kano
Is there better software I should be running on Antminers?  I would like to make sure I'm getting the most from hardware.

at this point in mining anything that helps could make the difference of tuning them off or let them run . 

[jeffy1021]

Only 500TH now?  That's pretty low no?

[jcumins]

All my s5 are now hashing at 230 what up with the pool

looks like pool is just coming back online again. Was down for about 22 minutes. My miners are reconnecting again.

[-ck]

To put it simply, we're dealing with the usual fuckage and nothing can really connect to the pool while it's happening even though the pool is still running, and try to restart things as soon as possible to minimise the downtime. We've excluded quite a few possible causes but not found the problem yet and are still investigating and hopefully narrowing in on the true cause.

No, I asked bitmain to fund (10BTC) doing work on the S1/S2/S3 and they said no they are too old and wont waste money on them.

Wow, gotta say, totally awesome.

Bitmain of course dropped the ball on this and have given up on anyone who bought their S1/S2/S3 saying they don't care.

However, someone (who wants to remain anonymous) has sent me 10BTC and asked me to do the S1/S2/S3 work.

Guess I'll be spending the time on this over the next 2 weeks that I was asking to do and get the S1/S2 updated and sort out some p2pool issues, and also merge a working S3 into cgminer master
(and of course dust off my old S1/S2 and get them working again)

The kano.is pool problems (and a backend ckdb change I've been working on) have been taking a lot of my (and of course -ck's) time, but I think I can handle both (if I ignore everything else )

Good news

[mrquick]

Quote from Kano "I think I can handle both (if I ignore everything else )"

What, like eating and sleeping? 

I for one will be looking forward to any updated software for my old s1's. I cant afford to upgrade my miners so anything to prolong the life and efficiency of my S1's would be very welcome.

Respect to you Kano.

Wow, what a great community!

Thanks to the generous anonymous person who financed that and thank you Kano for taking the time to do it.   

[jonnybravo0311]

Whoever the anonymous donor is, thanks for stepping up!  Seeing the S3 binaries updated from their current 4.6.1 version will be nice .

You constantly hear negative press about how company X screwed over everyone, so seeing that someone put up 10BTC to fund development work is extremely refreshing.  Thanks again to whoever donated the coin to kano!!!

We all appreciate the effort you both put into keeping this ship afloat, I've no doubt this bug will be squashed.

I have to agree, totally awesome!  Thank you, anonymous.  My S1 and S3+ thank you as well.

Good luck, Kano, should be a fun project.  

[Mikestang]

2nd edit: Is my small 450+GH going to be good enough to be on your pool? Thanks for any replies

You'll get about 0.005 btc / block.  Not profitable given electricity costs, but if you're just in it for the satisfaction of mining your own btc then it's perfect.

[sorry2xs]

I sure would like to bring back the S1s back to life i do have a few left.
