Seems I partially missed the good 5 days. For the last 3 days, I was mining namecoins...
July 23, 2011, 10:36:15 PM
Same here. The last 5 days have been very consistent but today is down about 1/3 
Too many evil 2+ hour block sucking out all our luck 
Too many evil 2+ hour block sucking out all our luck slush's pool is in the same boat we are in. about the same speed and an awful lot of 2+ hour blocks
sprinkled in there.
deepbit on the other hand has been seeing very consistent results... very few 1+ hour blocks for
them in the last 24 hours.
we had a good last 5 days and now we are paying for it.

Dayum. I guess it would have helped to check the stats page. That is so far away from expected value that I didn't even consider it a possibility. Thanks for the quick response.

I think something is wrong. I have been using uscentral for about a week and a half now and have been getting very consistent rewards, especially after E killed the hoppers. For the past day and a half, however, I have been getting approximately 60% of the expected value for rewards. I understand that the difficulty went up and therefore the expected value goes down... but not by 40%? My miners all have the same hash value, same everything... just different rewards. I have temporarily moved to deepbit but I like this pool and I donate at the 2.5% level. Is it just the website stats being wrong? Any help is appreciated.
I believe it is because we have only found 10 blocks in the past 19 hours roughly...

i have read your posts above but it does appear like the stats problem is back. my worker speed is 0
and the last share value is 5 minutes and counting.
er... it just updated. never mind.

I've been doing some cleanup on the code before preparing to move the website, so a few small anomalies might appear for a few minutes here and there. Mostly working on the server synchronization and making it far more aggressive, now that we're only running two major servers. A lot of the scripts are now executing almost instantly thanks to only needing to open up 2 remote SQL connections instead of 6-8.

Heads up regarding maintenance tomorrow:
Tomorrow at noon (PST) I will be moving the website to a different server. The pools will remain functional during the move, and your shares/rounds will be allocated once the new website is in place. Estimated downtime to move the server is approximately 1 hour. It may take a little longer for your DNS cache to update to the new IP address.

An update on last night's stats problem:
The host for the OLD US Central server is physically moving locations. This information was not available in any obvious posting/alert, it was hidden in their support desk about 2 weeks ago.
When the stat scripts / new block scripts run, they abort if a server connection cannot be made (otherwise the block would be calculated missing a server of shares).
Luckily we're no longer with that hosting company, I'm just waiting for it to come back online so I can transfer the BTC to our main wallet. I've already manually set the US Central (old) blocks to 120 confirmations since they were stuck around 30 confirms remaining.

Fixed the issue. Stats script/new block script were failing to connect to the OLD US Central server, which was cancelled. It shouldn't have gone offline though (its supposed to stay active til August 10th). The host for the old Central is pretty laggy, so its possible they're getting attacked again [unrelated to us].

Updating now. We were probably being DDOS'd (maliciously or not) or it was self inflicted from the new server stress testing.
July 23, 2011, 03:37:56 AM
I just confirmed this by logging in to check the 8 accounts I manage, stats are frozen but more importantly rewards earned are too. WTF is going on.
I'll confirm this, stats are not updating at all.

I'm not seeing my worker Mhash/sec rates for some reason, but the console output shows it's connecting to uscentral.btcguild.com:8332... Is there something up with that stat?
July 23, 2011, 01:14:02 AM
It was still 31% on central and now it's 45% on west. Nothing changed over here, either.
July 22, 2011, 10:36:28 PM
There have been a few restarts on the Central server to correct the scaling issues as they show up, which boost the reject rate for SOME people (depends on if you land back on the same node or not).
Since the last round of setting adjustments, at 1.4 TH/sec the server is not having long poll related issues currently, even when 3 of them hit in a 5 minute window.

30% reject rate on your new central server. Nice!

Just because I got an email about it:
US West is fine right now. The reason the speed is declining on West is I'm stress testing US Central to get an idea of how the new load balancer can hold up. All of the "unofficial" DNS entries are currently pointed at US Central.
