what was the crush to the uk server?
June 19, 2011, 12:16:23 PM
UK server replaced by NL2 server. btcguild.com, uk.btcguild.com and the old eu.btcguild.com are now all pointed at NL2 to get the load off of US Central/NL1.
I have switched my miners towards nl2 to get load out of the others. Now the Last Share stat does not work. It shows always 1s. The Shares (Stale) stats seems to be working.

There is no load balancing. btcguild.com => US central server, AFAIK.
Exactly. In fact, for several days there was a message on the main BTC Guild page saying NOT to use btcguild.com as US Central was overloaded.

I think people should consider avoiding mining from specific servers if at all possible and just use the load balanced btcguild.com address.

I was pointed to eu.btcguild.com, which only gave me downtime of like 6h, dunno why it didnt switched to other eu server.
Backup EU server is up - how long will it work? And will all miners pointed there change to uk when its back?

Much much connection problems for last hour, speed went down by almost half.
My stales went up about 0.5% overnight, otherwise no problems pointing to btcguild.com (not a specific server). I moved to another pool temporarily only to lighten the load which might help others who are having difficulty or not actively attending their mining. I'll switch back when the dust settles, even though it was working pretty well for me.

I lost several hours of mining because your servers went down 
Regardless of which pool you are in, you should always set up backup miners. I love that BTC Guild has multiple servers because then my backups can be on BTC Guild itself! In my case, I had each card hashing on UK and NL, so when UK went down, they automatically switched full-speed to NL. Also, if one server has idle issues, the other worker picks up the slack.
This is quite easy to do. You simply start two workers per device. You can prioritize them if you wish with poclbm/-f or Phoenix/AGGRESSION. I have mine running on Phoenix with equal aggressions, so it splits 50/50. On the other hand, the frames trick for poclbm will allow you to give one pool 99%+ of your hashes and another pool < 1%. If Pool A goes down, Pool B gets 100%.
Even the biggest pool has had connection errors, DDoS, and other problems, so the responsibility is on you to prepare things wisely on your end so that everything is smooth and automated. And the pool operators will do everything they can as well, of course.
For me, especially since I didn't have any real downtime, our recent luck more than makes up for any complaints:
Luck in past 24 hours 724013 shares (+21.2%)

Servers are trully overloaded (nl.btcguild.com at least). Any idea whats going on with uk one? Its disabled rather long.
June 19, 2011, 10:48:15 AM
Backup EU server is coming online in the next few hours.
June 19, 2011, 10:10:46 AM
I don't know what's going on but the last 12 hours my workers have been getting idle messages, disconnect and rejected messages from btcguild. They'll eventually reconnect and get some shares in. But total GHash/sec is about 1/2 of what it normally does on the web page. I know there was issues yesterday with uk server going down. I've always used used ubuntu with hashkill and phoenix on useast.
It doesn't show any signs of improvement since yesterday. I need to look for another pool at this rate.

You have no fallback code to handle such situations? June 19, 2011, 05:50:48 AM

Same :/ June 19, 2011, 05:04:45 AM
Is there a option to change the time zone of the website?? This will make all stat much more understandable ...

Aff, was pointed to ue.btcguild.com. And none of workers changed server ;/ 6h of mining is gone.

UK server has been temporarily taken offline. DNS will route you to the NL server if you were pointed at the UK server (assuming your computer and/or upstream DNS servers don't keep the old IP cached for too long). You all probably saw some errors crop up in your miners pointed at the other servers. This was due to removing the sync code with the UK server, which required a pushpool restart on each server.
