Topic: [~1000 GH/sec] BTC Guild - 0% Fee Pool, LP, SSL, Full Precision, and More - page 54. (Read 379087 times)

I am thinking about trying out this pool in hopes of replacing my main pool (deepbit) due to deepbit's ddos issues and recently banning ufasoft's miner. I have caught myself up with this thread and noticed that the USWEST server is new. I live in the central US but obviously pings all over the US don't really vary by much. Is there any real difference between the west server and the central server to the end user? Less stales on one or the other? I am bringing a new rig online tonight that should kick me over 1GH/s so I guess I could run both mines for a while to test, but what are your thoughts? (sorry for rambling)

What address were you tracing and using to measure the packet loss.  I need something concrete to send to my host to figure out where this issue is coming from.  Servers are showing NONE of the usual idle signs.

All clear up to the two entries listed below.

   .2% packet loss @ aliix-gw.ip4.tinet.net
11.7% packet loss @ aliix.10ge5-1.cr1.lax3.awknet.com

US West just had a bit of packet loss resulting in some idles/disconnects.  At this time I can't say if it was the server or the ISP having the issue.  Absolutely nothing unusual on any of the pushpools or pfsense.

Still having some disconnects from time to time, but the stales have decreased by a LOT. Thanks for your work, it does not go unnoticed.

With how smooth things have been going today, I may squeeze in a little time to get the Hall of Fame back in, with Top 100 Donators and Top 100 Block Finders.

speaking of donation.  it would be very kool to see the list of top x donate rs.  I am usually between 25th - 75th  top  shares, but many above me do not donate anything.  I would love to see the top 10 donations per block.  Especially since I have not actually found a block yet.  (glad I did not go solo, avg about 4G for a month with no block!)

Everyone should be using a different password for every website. Period.

But it's so hard to remember all those passwords.

Then don't. Use a Password Card:

https://www.passwordcard.org/en

A password card is a randomly generated, card of characters that can be used for passwords.
It looks like this:





The password card is something that you can print out and keep next to your computer, or on your person so you can use it to keep track of all the passwords for all of your web sites.

Use it like a crossword puzzle. Just pick a character to start and continue for 8 or more characters. All you have to remember is what row or column you started with and the card takes care of the rest.
For example, I can start with the character and go from top to bottom for my online bank password. The password it created, "v9PQHCvm" is strong, 8 characters and includes uppercase, lowercase and numbers.
Next I can use the Heart symbol and start with the cyan colored row (row 8 ) and go across until I each 8 characters... or 10, or more. As long as I remember heart/cyan, I will always have the password.
As you can see the possible combinations of passwords on one card are huge.

When you load up the password card web site, it generates one for you. Click the Reset button if you want a new card randomly generated. There is also an option to include special characters to make your passwords even stronger.

Now there is no longer an excuse. Separate passwords for every website!

What happened with the EU servers of BTCGuild?

This is why I had that notice on the site header for almost a full week after the leak.  If you used the same password: CHANGE IT!  If you were using the same password on multiple sites, odds are it wasn't as secure as you think (unless it was something you had to copy/paste...but thats a whole other discussion about poor password security).

ALERT: the wallet address associated with my account recently changed without my input, and now my confirmed rewards are 0.  (Previously they were 0.04 btc).  Not a huge amount of coin, but still...

Here is the offending wallet address: 14WosrXn3jMZ5frLbxgs4URCRvvfLYQBMq.  I just changed it back to my real address, and I've updated my password, too.

(I guess someone finally cracked my Mt Gox password.  I thought it was relatively secure, but perhaps not.  Boo!)

Clear your cache.  The security token is a cross site form request exploit prevention to prohibit a malicious site from tricking you into requesting payouts, changing wallets, emails, or passwords.

Sometimes I have to click payout more than once after logging back in...

Hrm getting

Payout Request

Your request did not contain a valid security token. Please try again.

Tried logging out and in again and still the same.

Something gone sideways with the server right now?

anywhere i am not seeing that you can tell if you have solved a block or not? not that it matters but just nice to know for personal satisfaction lol

yes they can. create a shortcut for the exe, right click it and go to properties. add the following to the end of the target line but use your info instead. (without the quotation marks)

 "-o http://username_workername:[email protected]:8332"

you can also do 'useast' or 'uscentral' instead of 'us'/'uswest'. these last twi being the new server.

Hi

can Ufasoft  miners mine at your pool?

Hi

I'm shopping around for a host that can offer hardware similar to what is in place in US West.  My goal is to consolidate us down to 2-3 servers with roughly the same setup, each one capable of holding well over 2.5 TH/sec, since we were around 3.2 TH and still growing before the DDoSes took us down.  The second server is being shipped to Texas tomorrow and will eventually replace US Central & East.  So far the only comparable EU servers I've found cost nearly twice as the US ones do, which is funny considering the old server hardware was significantly cheaper in EU.

For those afraid of losing East and Central - US West was a project that I've been preparing for since we hit 2 TH/sec a few weeks ago.  There is no way to iron out these bugs in a test environment, due to the nature of the problems (block solving, long-polling, and a massive number of unique IPs hitting a source-based load balancer).  The kinks have almost been completely ironed out based on the last couple hours (and block solves), and the new Central wont be replacing the old servers until I'm positive it can handle the load as well or better than the current servers.

Will the eu server be back?

ok,  thats it.  I'm donating 5% for a while.   

Thanks again.
