Just reporting I'm getting frequent idle worker messages again now for about an hour.
I've once again switched back to btcGuild where it's rock solid.
I don't undertsand why this happens now and then.
Is it DOS attacks or something interfering?
Topic: [0 GH/s 0% fee SMPPS] ArsBitcoin mining pool! - page 22. (Read 123775 times)
Figures I've found 3 blocks since I started mining early August and I haven't even earned 100 coins yet 
Anyways just wanted to say BT keep up the good work. Definitely making ARS my home! Got about 6.5 GH/s up now and can maybe push it to 8 if I can find out how to space the rigs in my wife's office without pissing her off

So uh, we found a couple blocks... 
This has been be the best 1 day ever for ars. 16 blocks found on the 21st and the day even isn't over yet. Hopefully this will push us back into payouts every couple of hours with a big positive buffer.
Things can move real quick (in either direction) with our higher hashrate these days.
And hotdog... lol...

There is no better feeling in the world than waking up and seeing a result like that.
My morning wood lasted until like 12PM today, it was fantastic AND awkward.
Buffer went from 60 to almost 700. That's crazy.

Seems like multiple pools are using poolseverj now and they seem to think it is more efficient for a large number of miners. Maybe this is worth looking into to keep a single server?

Yeah, I want to look into it again. However, shifting the main server to it still might be a bit of a risk. I think the largest pool using it is BTCGuild's PPS Beta, which is at ~85 GH/s.
It may be that I look into using it for Server 2 to resolve my pushpool problem there first.
Sorry for the lack of activity lately. Been a bit busy, and a bit less motivated thanks to BTC price ;P You may also be able to blame a friend of mine for getting me into league of legends....
Still busy the next few days, some people from out of town staying at my place. However, maybe near the end of this week, or on the weekend, I want to do a few pool improvements.
Items I want to look at first:
1) Server 2 stability. Pushpool still randomly decides to use ~100% cpu on Server2 occasionally. Haven't been able to figure out why. Doesn't seem load related. A simple pushpool restart fixes it most of the time. If I can't figure out the issue, I need to write a script to detect the condition quickly, and restart it automatically, or see if I can just consolidate back to using one server ( would have to improve Server 1 performance somehow.) The main server has been extremely stable in comparison, but a day or two ago we hit ~950 GH/s max, so I don't think just one server will cut it.
2) Fix block stats issues (missing blocks I have to add manually, and other such things.) I started this work as part of the PPLNS stuff, so I need to get back to it and implement some fixes. The main issues currently are related to finding blocks in very quick succession, or issues with blocks from server 2.

Seems like something is wrong with the server at the moment. I've had about a half hour of constant idles & disconnects. Also my stats page was down and couldn't login. I guess I'll switch to btcGuild until this has stabilized...
Eligius is also (the original) SMPPS, which is what Ars uses for rewards, FWIW.
Hint: To have any kind of meaningful statistics on non-PPS pools, you need to average it over a few months at least.

hi,
do you have any plans for merged mining?
if you want to discuss it i opened a thread a here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/thoughts-and-questions-on-btc-pools-and-merged-mining-44546

Been having some issues with server2 this morning. Hopefully things are fixed now.
I believe these issues caused our share count for our last server 2 block (145,626) to be wrong, which affected our current round count as well. However, this is only the shares per round number. User shares/rewards are calculated completely separately and they are fine.

Buffer skyrockets, followed by an 8 million block, followed by a 200k, and a 1 million block. It's an emotional roller coaster folks, someone hold me.
Buffer just sky rocketed
Ah, that explains it, I was looking for coins to be paid when blocks were found, but it makes a lot more sense that they are paid when they are confirmed. I guess it just worked out that a few blocks were confirmed at just about the same time new blocks were found right when I started, and I saw the payments made and jumped to the wrong conclusion. Thanks for the info.
