There will be a very short failover - failback on the UK node in about 1 hour 02:00 UTC This will ONLY be the UK node, no others. It will be 5 minutes at the most. If your pool2 points to another kano.is node then you should just failover to the 2nd node then back again.
So I tool advantage of this to test the cgminer failover setup--shenanigans, I tell ya ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) --which proved to be interesting to watch in real-time. First, I set Pool 1 to UK and waited for its cgminer Status=Dead; however, I was surprised to see both 2 & 3 seemingly simultaneously go StratumActive=true and both of their GetWorks starting to increment... This is when it got interesting. Instead of Pool 2 (US) taking off and doing it's thing, Pool 3 seemed to win out, and Pool 2 gave up. After refreshing some more, it then switched to Pool 2, and alas, I eventually reconfigured my Pool 1 back to NYA. This concludes my testing. Make of it what you will... Shenanigans. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

AWS has found a problem with the underlying LS hardware, so I just need to restart it and it will move off the problematic hardware.
The UK node restart was longer than anticipated due to the node losing it's IP address. It took 18 minutes. It's all ok now. My mistake ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) The default AWSLS is to have a dynamic IP, so any restart loses the IP address ... oh well my mistake I guess for not knowing that in advance - but they didn't mention it when they told me I had to restart it, or mention it anywhere on the Instance creation page: you just get an instance with an normal IP address. Looks like I'm going to have to plan to restart all the nodes in the near future and change their IP addresses to static (a new IP). I'll let everyone know when I'm going to go it, it may be a week or more though until I do and of course I'll stagger them so that only one node at a time will have a transient IP when I do them all. The normal operation is to never restart them, alas when problems occur with the provider (AWS in this case) and they require me to restart a node, it will lose it's IP so there'll be another 10+ minutes of DNS change outage - so I'll plan to do that once for all nodes to switch to a static IP on restart, in the near future. ... and having said all that ... I realised the obvious ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) No I wont do it to any of the nodes unless they require restarting in the future. So each node itself will only have the IP updated once IF it ever needs restarting - the nodes normally run non-stop forever, so until one requires a restart - and I'd do the usual restart warning about it - there's no need for me to actually update the IPs. Mine on! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I think he tried it out on a test server, and found bugs nobody else knew about so he is avoiding implementing it for now.

Hopefully get time to debug that crappy code in a few days. The T1 is hell noisy loud even in quietest mode - minimum 62dB - so I'm a little limited on when I will test with it also. (whereas the heater I run Canaan A741 is 40db or less in my heating quiet mode) The web interface sux though, it's missing the two most important numbers DA and DR and the developer helping create a miner that you are locked out of sux also - open source my ass. Clearly you can pay someone to do anything ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) For a couple of days, I've just been working on the after effects of moving to a new server - that's all done now for everything that matters. However I've found a rather interesting event occurring on the server over the last few days that I need to sort out a solution to - the SPS often doubles to more than 7000 - works OK, but I need to sort out a straight forward fix I've realised to reduce that in case it doubles again ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

over 300 percent block out there waiting to be cracked. Let's get this one...haha
Nah, we can let your other pool have that one. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) I believe he was referring to the network block, not the pool. (I could be wrong) I'd be all-in for a 300% network block...lots of transactions.

There was a failover on the JP node for about a minute at 05:09 UTC It reconnected OK and seems all OK again ... so most mining on the JP node will have failed over to pool2 or pool3 for 5 minutes. Though it looks like one user didn't fail back so if you're one of the few mining on JP you should check if you are the one who didn't fail back.

my iPad App, which runs on a iPad 2 with IOS 9.3.1, is not showing my miners any longer. This started happening a day or so ago. It worked great for a month or so. Over on the Kano postings I see others are reporting similar results. Thoughts?
Not sure where anyone else has said his app has a problem in the last couple of days, but the person who does the iApp is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1344360.0Post there and he should reply.
