I'm getting a lot of connection errors again...any issues still going on?

Yes, I started getting a LOT of them recently. It makes me nervous. I have already woken up or come home to miners which had crapped out due to communication or long polling issues ... since I have to sleep, what is one to do?

I use the flex mining proxy, plus a custom reboot system.

Yea I'm still getting random spikes here and there. Is the server being overloaded?

I hate it when it seems like the DDOS is following me...

@eleuthria

found the source of my API problem, apparently your json generation has blank total shares for some not active miners that i'm currently building that such they return

Quote

"total_shares:, and "total_stales":,

which json parser throws a fit and refuse to parse. this has been a problem since your reset, I easily wrote a replacement fix for it, but could be nice if you can fix it server side.

With a little luck, everything will be returning back to normal after this post. If not, I've added some extra logging to the connections that are hitting the server. The massive drop we had was definitely not a bitcoind, pushpool, or mysql problem.

Try pinging the server, see what kind of results you get. If you're using phoenix, the problem will normally go away completely by adding -q 3 to your command arguments.

What's the address for that? "btcguild.com" never replies to pings for me .... I can mine there though.

randomly my Json API stopped working on both my localhost test lamp and a vps in england, using php file_get_contents and json_decode, it just returns null for some reason

though I can access API just fine via browser, odd...

Kk I'll switch for now, I'll be waiting here to see what happens.

Thanks for all your hard work Eleuthria. Seriously.

I'm looking into it...smooth sailing for a half hour followed by worse idles than I've ever seen on my personal machines. Not calling it an attack yet but the pool has never taken such a nosedive across the board in a 5 minute timespan.

A whole tonnn of idles...all 7 of my workers went idle for at least 5-7 minutes. Should we switch or is it going to be fixed?

For poclbm, it prints it out on a separate line just like a share acceptance.

FYI: I am now at 35 minutes without a single idle across 4.2 GH/sec worth of machines running, so it looks like the issue has finally settled after the tweaking took effect.

Thanks.

Just opened up the console in guiminer and am seeing a bunch of problems communicating and idle miner errors. Looking on the website, the last share submitted was 3 minutes ago. This was a recent development...

Same for me. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Question: How do you know if you have idle errors?

Pretty much. Over several weeks, BTC Guild has paid me pretty much exactly what I expected based on my hashing rate/return calculations.

The idle worker issue is better but still getting 1-2 every 2-3 minutes.

I know I shouldn't use 24 hour periods to judge a pool but I've mined 4 BTC over a 24 hour period at Guild. BTC Mine with their crazy stale shares still gave me 5-6 BTC before I came to Guild. Deepbit gives me 5 BTC using PPS.

Is it because we just had shitty luck and some outages over the past 24 hours?

Eleuthria mentioned in the IRC channel that he found the cause for the idle miner issues, which should be much better now. Apparently, the server was mistaking miner traffic for syn floods.
So, everything should theoretically be back to pretty stable now.
