It's over, the Eternal Block is over! Now that the servers have stress tested a 7 million block share, lets double our old record and go for 16m! Just kidding, don't hurt me T_T.

need an expert to answer this:
is it possible to submit the same shares to multiple pools?
thus getting double paid.

No. The shares you are working on contain a hash of the pool's payment address. This will be different for every pool and all other pools will reject any work that didn't come from them.

unless I don't know what I am talking about, (which can be the case quite often)
Everyone looks for the same block. one block at a time until it is found. right?

yup.. even deepbit has not had a block for 2.5 hours. unless I am reading it wrong. I am not very familiar with their site.
July 11, 2011, 10:24:33 PM
4 hours no block

Eleuthria quick question for you: When this is all over, what addresses(s) would you prefer that we aim out miners at?
July 11, 2011, 09:57:46 PM
I'm guessing you forwarded uscentral? My stales were super low < .5 and have gone up to >2.00 in the last 30 or so. Granted it could be something else entirely, but if you are looking for feedback ;o)

Patch was just deployed on US West (which has currently taken over every server except for useast and uscentral) to fix the stale/invalid issue that was happening during the 1.8 TH/sec stress test. Giving it about an hour to settle in, then I'll be pointing East/Central at it again temporarily to determine if the problem is truly behind us now.

i only mined .97btc in the last 24 hours with 2.3Ghash. Whats the problem? thats like 50% of what I should be mining.
NOTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT 24 HOUR LUCK. EVERY POOL HAS BAD LUCK STREAKS, EVERY POOL HAS GOOD LUCK STREAKS.This is getting frustrating as hell.
I don't mean to sound rude, but you are free to mine at whatever pool you choose. In fact, I am mining at 3 different pools right now (the other 2 are mostly for backup). If you mine at several pools at once, you spread your luck around even more.
This happens because if a pool is having bad luck, it means the other pools make up for it and vice versa.
That is a good idea. I will do that as soon as Linuxcoin goes to a release version (supposed to be this week) which includes Smartcoin. I will split my miners to three different pools.

I'm getting about 1.5% stale shares. Why is it so high? For comparison, Deepbit gives me about 0.4% stales
As stated in my post directly above yours:I was running a stress test on US West to see what kind of speed it could handle. It turns out it can easily handle the entire pool worth of speed right now, the issue was it was tossing out stales (no idles though).
I've found out why it was tossing stales, and will attempt another test tonight. The goal is to consolidate the servers to a load balanced location to reduce the overhead of sync'ing servers all over the world, and to give us one location behind a provider that understands DDoS and will help us with perimeter level filtering if we are attacked again. Cutting out some of the monthly costs is another plus.
If you see my above post, I was getting idols and disconects (still am)
I do not use IRC.

Reporting much much higher Stale shares here as well,
used to be below 1% now it's up 3-4%

Im getting like 6-7% stales on us west. Nothing changed on my side and i was having <1% stale shares before. Something wrong? 
July 11, 2011, 03:57:43 PM
OK, you convinced me to go back to uswest. I put all my miners back on uswest and now I am getting work queue empty, miner idols and disconnects.
This is getting frustrating as hell.
Try east or central. They probably have better latency and such than slush which is euro and not LP. This is getting frustrating as hell.

Just concluded a stress test on US West (pointed all DNS entries to it for about 45 minutes). 1.8 TH/sec and no idles reported in the chat room during the test. We did find that occasionally a long poll would be met with multiple stales (sometimes as many as 5 or 6), so I'm looking into that before merging any servers into it.

at lease your up and running... I lost 4 of of 5 rigs to the heat. and I will not be home for 3 hours down to 1.2G now
Ouch. That sucks. Summer is a bitch man.
