We'd need a coalition of major pools setting a deadline and removing CPU-mining support "for the sake of server loads"

That sounds like a great idea to me. Does anybody here have authoritative contacts at other pools that we could ask to hop on board with phasing out CPU mining?

It's obvious that CPU miners require a whole damned lot of getworks to mercifully complete one before it's gone stale.
I just wish to see them shot. Either you are able to achieve reasonable efficiency or the pools aren't interested in talking to you.
My guess is "reasonable" could be as low as 10% to allow for really slow GPUs.

OTOH, it's not that easy for one pool to fight against botnets - the owners retaliated to previous attempts with DDoS attacks which they can freely perform at will.
We'd need a coalition of major pools setting a deadline and removing CPU-mining support "for the sake of server loads", without even explicitly mentioning botnets.
Remember that cyber-thugs are still nothing more than thugs when push comes to shove.

Uhhh... why are we at >1% stales?
Who invited that CPU-mining botnet in? Wink

Got I hate them. My hypothesis is that the efficiency (and thus # of getworks per share) for some accounts is very low, significantly lower than entire rest of pool. Which means GH per GH they put a larger load on the server. 20 GH @ 10% efficiency is like another 200GH load on the server (in terms of getwork generation).

The point was D&T could use the X10 protocol to control the garage door. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X10_%28industry_standard%29

I think thats far more useful and practical than a thermostat on his AC

Man I wish I had IP access to my garage door opener. Could open it wait 30 seconds, and close it. Should drop temps 5-10.

The hardware exists for it.... http://www.komar.org/cgi-bin/christmas_webcam

Holy jesus that site is ugly. Looks like its been run through the Geo-cities-izer machine a few times too many.

The dude does that on purpose. Wink

:p

where are you at that its hot in Feb DT?

Virginia. Usaully it is not hot but this winter has been really mild for the most part. Today it is a high of 71.

4 rigs @ 870W = 3.5KW. I am not sure what the air temp in my garage is but it must be high because every couple minutes cgminer drops the clocks on a GPU trying to keep them under thermal limit.

Don't look now but we just hit 150!
I guess "bronan" was just waiting for the new server.

Stupid hot febuary is killing my hashing rate. Yeah I didn't think to turn the AC on before I left for work because it is FEBUARY!

cgminer's auto-gpu keeping the cards "cool" but hashing power going down, down, down.

Im not even sure what scoffing means, but I scoff at it:

to scoff == to ridicule, to make fun of, to mock

"nothing to be scoffed at" == it's pretty good

I guess that means if you are American you may now get long poll messages 0.05 seconds later. Except the server is much faster, so it's probably faster than before, also for Americans.

My pings from the southwest USA are now about 125ms. Not sure what they were before, but that's still not bad at all. Also, the website is blazing fast compared to what it used to be. Thanks for all the hard work Doc!

Awesome server migration and I am back. BTW we are north of 130 now. WOOT!

Needs more jiggawatts

P4man, nice numbers!

I'm still hoping pool-wide rejects will go down. It might help when miners connect directly to the new server instead of going through the old one. Since the switch, we've gone from 493 connections down to 433 through the tunnel from old to new server. Going down slowly. It may be that some miners need to be restarted to force them the resolve the hostname again and get the correct server.

So we're at Hetzner now, Doc? Nice, just 8 hops away.
Round trip time of 62 ms is nothing to be scoffed at.
Stales are looking quite promising as well.

Yep, at Hetzner. They have some very nice prices. Now we just have to get the hash rate up. The new server is idling too much. Grin

Congrats on the expedient and painless migration.

Thanks, it was a big relief!
