Epoc:  Right now, US1 and US2 are pointing to the same server, there's about 11k LPs going out at once when a new block hits.  Try switching to US3 and see if that solves the problem.  I will be dropping a new US1 in the DC probably Monday (maybe this weekend), and then moving traffic back to it, which should alleviate the US2 issue.

Hey Inaba,
Since Stratum has a new mining.resume function I was wondering. Do you know how difficult it would be to add it?
It would save shares on disconnects so that would be a plus.
Thank You for all your hard work!
slush, Eleu, conman, and I discussed mining.resume on IRC the other day, and decided to replace it with a different resume mechanism.
I'll work on an Eloipool implementation after getting through the BFL SC support in BFGMiner, and sometime after that a BFGMiner implementation to use it.

Us1 and US2 are the same server at the moment.  Try US3.

I have a new US1 built and I will be dropping it in the DC as soon as I can get through the snow to downtown.

Epoch - I am looking into your issue.

I'm getting a lot of "communication failures" with us1 and us2 using 2.10.4 cgminer.  It's been going on for a few days.  I've switched to another pool until this gets fixed.

Over the past few months I've been noticing the following (here, Pool 1 is Eclipse and is the primary pool, Pool 0 is bitminter and is the backup):

Code:
2013-02-22 11:22:57] BFL0: Abandoning stale search to restart
2013-02-22 11:23:13] Pool 1 failed getblocktemplate request; falling back to getwork protocol
2013-02-22 11:23:20] LONGPOLL from pool 1 caught up to new block
2013-02-22 11:23:34] Pool 1 http://us2.eclipsemc.com:8337 not responding!
2013-02-22 11:23:34] Switching to http://mint.bitminter.com:8332
2013-02-22 11:23:46] Accepted 586d6dad Diff 2/1 BFL 0 pool 0
2013-02-22 11:23:46] Accepted ad1f45ab Diff 1/1 BFL 0 pool 0

I often get the 'failed getblocktemplate request' message, either after a longpoll or sometimes just 'randomly'. The miner switches to the backup pool for a while, then sees that Eclipse is alive again and switches back to it. Not a big deal, but I'm wondering if it is normal to get this message. And, what could cause it?

I am using bfgminer 2.10.5 (I've had this problem on earlier versions as well), and I use the following switches:

Code:
--disable-gpu --no-submit-stale --no-stratum

Am I using the correct Eclipse server(us2.eclipsemc.com) and port (8337)? I run with  Stratum disabled; enabling it gives me other problems which is a tale for another time ...

I'm still running cgminer 2.10.2.

Thanks for checking.

This is the closest candidate block I can find: http://blockchain.info/block-height/221984

What version of CG or BFG miner are you using?  I'm not sure if it's been fixed in newer versions, but at one point at least cgminer I believe was reporting erroneous maximum share values.  I'm not sure that's what's happened here though... another possibility is you did find a winning share to an older block and it was invalidated after sending it to the network/bitcoind.  Given that a block was indeed found right around that time, this sounds like the most likely explanation.

Without knowing what time zone is shown there, it's hard to say.  There's a number of reasons that can happen though.

I can tell from my cgminer stats that I solved a block for EMC within the last 24 hours, but I don't see it showing up under the block stats.

I know it doesn't affect my reward, but I'm just curious if there's a reason it wouldn't show up.

Code:
 [2013-02-19 18:10:13] Started at [2013-02-15 20:14:33]
 [2013-02-19 18:10:13] Runtime: 93 hrs : 55 mins : 40 secs
 [2013-02-19 18:10:13] Average hashrate: 1556.4 Megahash/s
 [2013-02-19 18:10:13] Solved blocks: 1
 [2013-02-19 18:10:13] Best share difficulty: 7.6M

 [2013-02-19 18:10:13] Pool: stratum+tcp://us3.eclipsemc.com:3333
 [2013-02-19 18:10:13] SOLVED 1 BLOCK!

I check it at least once a day, and didn't see the 7.6M share yesterday, so I'm pretty sure it was within the last 24 hours (and within the last 94 hours for sure, since I just started it 4 days ago).

Yeah, sorry for getting people excited.  One of the servers had a problem and shares got backed up on the rest of the servers.  It did not affect mining, but when the website was able to reconnect, it processed all the backlogged shares, which shows up as a super hashrate. 

I just acquired new hardware for US1 which I will be configuring this weekend.  US1 is up and running fine, but really needs a reload, so I'll be working on that and swapping out US1 sometime next week.

Yah, I see it has went back to normal.  I got excited there for a moment.

I've been working on the servers.  Still a bit more work to do and I will be moving the website to a different server in the next few days or this weekend.  I'll keep people posted.

I'm not sure what might be causing your problem juggalo... what browser are you using? 
Sorry for the late response, I'm using Chrome. The issue only lasted for a little while but has been fine since.

It showing that EMC is doing 16.77 TH/s right now.  It is climbing like crazy right now.  The last three blocks were solved in 0 seconds.  Since I started typing this, it has raised to 17.03 TH/s.  Anyone know what is going on?
It is just the recently restarted server catching up with the queued work; this is normal and expected behavior, don't worry. The numbers will come back down to 'normal reality' soon enough.

It appears this morning that whatever selection I make on the page it takes me to the login page but won't let me log in.

For the last couple days, I'm having random disconnection issues to all 3 servers.  I am using cgminer 2.10.5 and my Internet is still working fine when these short drops occur.  They usually only last a few seconds, but it is enough to cause cgminer to move to the next pool in the list.

Anyone else noticing this?

They are still there. I can initiate a withdrawal of them if you want.

Perfect, thanks. I will send you a PM.

Hi Inaba,

I've sent you a pm in this forum and an email nearly 3 weeks ago. I also didn't receive any response from my reminder.
Would be nice to see my NMC's again ;-)
