The pool has to run 100% flawless before more miners will come over...

Not sure if you are new miner or not. If so, I am happy that you came over. Cheesy

I know urstroyer has setup a "test" server to try out 0.4 of psj. I will help him test it with my hashing power to make sure it is working smoothly before moving over to the main pool server. If you have any other suggestions, let's get them over to urstroyer so he can implement.

I have also recommend he use monit to monitor the different services on the server and restart them if necessary. Hopefully this will be implemented soon.

I am glad to see the pool is growing. Grin

How do we get more miners to come over?

teukon,

touch wood, the 0.4.0 upgrade should be smoother than previous ones. The merged mining implementation touched pretty much every part of poolserverj's internal due the major refactoring required. The additional features in 0.4.0 are built on top of the merged mining code and each feature is very much more self contained in it's own part of the code and tested in isolation from the other features whereas merged mining had to be done in one massive change then all parts of the code tested. Also these were no where near as rushed as merged mining so have had an awful lot more testing on my local test environment before I committed them. But as I said... touch wood. Wink

Sorry, have been really busy the last couple of days. Here is a statement in short: under certan circumstances the server doesn't respond anymore (workaound server restart), i'am looking for a fix today.

Quote from: urstroyer

As many of you noticed we experienced small outages of our poolserver in random intervals recently.

We are looking forward to fix this issue with an upgrade to PoolserverJ 0.4 today at 06:00pm (GMT+1).
The downtime window for the upgrade will be pretty small, just a couple of minutes.

I take this to mean that the problem is in software rather than hardware. The new version of PoolServerJ 0.4 is much more than just a few patches and bugfixes. See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announce-poolserverj-workmaker-edition-released-040rc1-51226 for a full list of new features.

Best of luck with the upgrade urstroyer. I'll be watching my stales, new jobs, uptime, et cetera like a hawk when this is put into place. I hope this will help squash any last minute bugs and/or configuration issues as quickly as possible.

Its "ok" for me, just some minor downtimes where cgminer automatically switches over to deepbit:

I've noticed the server has been going down rather frequetly recently. I remember not long ago I managed to fill my hashrate graph with solid mining (save one barely detectable blip) but now there are a bunch of spikes to 0, some a full hour wide!

Any idea on the cause?

Some minor points on the charts:

- Credit History charts still have an old "Estimated Payout" label at the bottom.
- The geomap occasionally displays the figures on the colour key to a large number of decimal places.
- Credit History charts need a scale on the x-axis.
- The Namecoin luck chart could do with labels for the scale on the y-axis.

All issues fixed.

Can't reproduce the large number of decimal places on our geomap. If it happens again, it would be great if you could take a screenshot for me.

I will if I see it again.

Urstroyer? Have you considered asking for this pool to be added to the pool comparison table discussed here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/mining-pool-features-table-12920?

I've come across this at several points in the past and it appears to be actively maintained. I think yourbtc.net would look pretty good on this list and its inclusion may attract a few more miners.

Just a thought.

Also this week here are some exciting news for you:

- BTC block and converted NMC payments are now combined and send as one payment instead of two.
- E-Mail notifications about BTC payments can be disabled by every pool member (enabled by default).
- Added FAQ content for more information about how payment for both Bitcoin and Namecoin work.
- Lots of other cosmetic improvements and bugfixes on the web frontend.

Promise: I won't get lazy now, still a load of new features incomming over the next weeks!

Looks like the pool is down again; website is unreachable and all my worker are on the backup pool.

yep

pool is down about 2 hours already... urstroyer, please, investigate stability issues.

Server is up and running again, sorry for the outage.

I identified the possible source of the problem and will report back soon.

After a few days, it is safe to say, that merged mining implementation works really well.

Already over 20 nmc blocks where found, distributed on double geometric method and converted to btc for payout. This should be a nice boost for your mining rewards.

We recently added luck graphs for each blockchain, if you are interested:
https://yourbtc.net/content/luck-bitcoin
https://yourbtc.net/content/luck-namecoin

I've just seen some of the changes to the site and everything looks good to me. Well, to be honest, I still think "Estimated Payout" and "Estimated Payout next Block" are incorrect labels but it seems I'm the only one that has a problem with this so I'll just let it go. Changing all the "Invalid" to "Efficiency" is much appreciated, consistency is good.

The luck graph with 20 entries seem fine to me. I think the luck graphs are a very useful element of the site and are good for people scouting for new sites to see at a glance that the site is working fine.

The pool seems to be settling down nicely after the upheaval of merged mining. The only minor problem I see now is that the site is down. Other than that everything looks good. Tongue
