Hey dinox you doing some sort of maintenance? Because I've been watching my miners and its seems to be getting disconnected from the server (upstream error) and then reconnects again this past 12 hours. Simply its doing a yo-yo effect...On, off, on...etc.

Or

Is it being overloaded? 

Yep, I had to restart bitcoind due to including it in a monitor tool. Now it will restart automatically if it fails and text me if restart fails. The downtime was about 30sec.

Mining my little GPU's butt off.  My 157Mhash/s is yours.

I love small no-fee pools, it means bigger shares for little guys like me.  If your BTC/Day calculator is correct, I'm gonna be here for a long, long time.

Nice you like the pool. I should notify that swepool is not an no-fee pool (probably impossible to maintain a no-fee PPS pool) but it is very friendly to low-hash users. The calculator is as correct as the MHash/s rate is at your profile.

* Swepool has now taken some measures against ddos and should be able to hold up a minor ddos at this point.

im pooling here now, adding 580 mhashes, ordered 2 more cards to total 1ghash. lets see what this pools all about.

Only thing I dont like is:
"1Pays out every day at 14.00 UTC. Only balances larger than 1 btc will be paid out with autopay. "
-Instant payout would have been cool.
-15 minute to 10 minutes would be neat
-I'd like to see the current block with my rewards status + confirmation status like slush has it

What are the advantages of joining a smaller pool compared to joining a bigger pool?
-bigger pool, paid more frequently, lower btc rewards
-smaller pool, less often, higher btc  rewards

correct me if I'm wrong- thanks

Nice!

"1Pays out every day at 14.00 UTC. Only balances larger than 1 btc will be paid out with autopay. "

Instant cashout is there and activates when you have above 0.1 btc in your account to spare me from tx fees. Just login to your profile and press "Instant Cashout".

-I'd like to see the current block with my rewards status + confirmation status like slush has it

The pool uses Pay-Per-Share, that means you get your money instantly. Profile page updates every minute with new balance and when you have above 0.1 btc you are able to cashout instantly, even before the block has solved. Current round info is therefore irrelevant, but you may see solved blocks at stats-page (for the lulz).

A large pool is not good for the bitcoin network. Smaller pools often pays out money very late. Swepool takes the best of these and is a small pool which pays out instantly.

Perfect, I'm already starting to like you

Honesty too!  Let me just mine up to the next bitcoin on BTC Guild, and I'm comin' your way.

BTC was awesome, but then people signed up like crazy and my shares dropped 70%.  I'm so outta there.

[timmmay]

All my miners are running slower now since your last restart.  I'll investigate and see if I can work out why!

Im getting various console lines like the one above, including many RPC communication issues, any idea?

[fsasa70]

Yea am also getting the disconnections and the reconnect issues as well. Happens like every hour and so and then repeat. (Started yesterday for me)

[Grike_SixEcho]

I'm getting a 20-second disconnect every hour or so.

Still better than most pools I've been in.  Less stales, too.

Pushpoold has apparently having some problems with stability last time, it has crashed of some strange reason and doesn't give me much information when doing so. I have a monitor tool that restarts the process automatically, which is why you only experience about 1 min downtime before going online again. I have had problems with pushpoold before, and thought I had solved them when I got 3-4 days of indisturbed uptime, but now they are kicking at me again. I'll try to investigate what the issue is.
