slush, how long do we have to switch to api.bitcoin.cz before mining.bitcoin.cz stops accepting work?

I'll switch it today.

Oh NO! Please don't do that. It will take me several days to get all my miners switched to the new server. PLEASE PLEASE give me at least week before you shut off mining.bitcoin.cz!

I'd say it's a problem with his phase coil inducers. Rerouting power through his secondary transmogrifier manifold should do the trick. Worked last time it happened to me, at least.
How do I do that?
Is that via software, or hardware modification?

forget that. they are joking. your miner tells you that there is a hardware error. If you didn't overclock, then you have to RMA you card. If you did overclock, then go back to previous speed.

Oh that's not nice...................................................(lol).............................................but kinda funny!

Hello!

Is this the right place to ask about mining performance issues?

As far as I understand (and I could be way wrong), my BTC generation should be independent of the network's or the pool's total hashrate, but however random.  So, in the end, my BTC generation rate should be somewhat variable, but depend mainly on my cumulative hashrate.

My machines generate about 290 mhash/sec.  I expect that this should generate about 0.5 BTC/day.  It did, for a day. Then DDOS and other things, but I think we are back to optimal conditions, and I see about 0.15 BTC in 16 h.  Is this normal?

I also noticed something else that is weird:  I think find (pool) blocks faster on slush's pool and in deepbit.  Does that make sense?  I would have thought the probability would be equal.

Your insight would be most welcome!

Regards,
Tom

Slush, silly question, but wouldn't it be better to test out the whitelist setup now, while we're not getting DDoS'd?  Be a lot easier to work out the kinks when there's not a million connections coming in every ms Smiley

Not all users filled their IPs, some users have dynamic IPs etc. No need to shape regular traffic with IP whitelist when there's no ddos.

FYI... Guiminer has been updated with the new api.bitcoin.cz address. Also you can choose which processor cores to use.

Whitelist is currently not enabled as site is not under ddos, but it is important to prepare everything to next ddos attempt.

Just a question: whitelist for manually added dynhosts on your website are updated once a day. But when? If IP updates twice a day or something like that or just changes after you did your update ... - the miners have still access? Maybe every whitelist entry have a TTL longer than a day? That would fix the problem. I noticed that today, one dynhost could not connect for some hours, dynhost was on your whitelist but ip was different (real and that from your last update).

Hello, dns resolving will be faster than that, maybe once per hour or even faster. Additionally, there will be special IP which you will call everytime you change IP on your side. Using this notification will be almost instant.

How do I fix this?

Looks like hardware error. But correct me if I'm wrong...

slush, I've used that image from your website, and if you are not okay with me using it I will remove it from the widget. :-)

I found this image somewhere on this forum, it is public domain, so don't worry Wink.

I have made this little widget for the Mac OS Dashboard, it gives you some overview over your slush pool stats, just enter your API Key in the settings. Feedback welcome! Oh, also: Who would be interested in individual worker support?

Is the pool down? I just a "backend is not connected" error message with a "call to bitcoind failed ... connection refused" My gf also mines here and she says her's is fine, so I pointed my miners at BTCGuild and I don't get any errors. It's just slush's pool for me.

Hi, there was problem with one backend server. It is fixed now, I'm sorry for troubles.

no i am not.

if you see cluster performance its falling slowly but steadily (was 1.6 and now 1.3) so lots of people affected.
