Please, what kind of proxy? Reconnecting you to backup pools when main is down? How is it done?

So does anyone have the postmortem on this multi-site/pool outage?  Huh

You want an autopsy and the body is still warm!

But it was dead to the world... Were you able to mine on slush throughout all of this?

My Diable miner kept saying "Unable to connect..." (or something like that), at the same time the website kept giving me 502 errors.

It would be nice to know what happened.... it is a little concerning that a similar event at the same time occurred to the two largest pools.

I was mining on slush all evening until a short while ago. The website went down but as far as I could tell they never knocked the pool offline. Got a lot of miner idle though, so I set myself up a proxy. Smiley

It looks like slush is back up.... at least the web UI is.

hmm... I see... I was in the midst of getting poclbm to work in Ubuntu and kept wondering how come I couldn't connect. So slush is down?

yes someone just dumped 150ghash/sec within the last few hours, solo miners are jumping on the pools it seems :/

looks like because deepbit is down...

By the way, webserver is pretty overloaded last two days and crashing more often than I want Smiley. Initially there was few thousand pageviews per day back in December and January. Now we're on few milions pageviews (including json stats)... I'll move website to much stronger hardware tomorrow, hope it will keep up for following few hours.

I highly recommend to all users to change their weak passwords to something stronger to protect your funds! You can change your password using 'Forgot username/password' link on login page.

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up slush Smiley

Warning!

During last two days, three users reported that somebody attacked their pool accounts and steal their bitcoins. All users told me that they used weak passwords or even same password as login Smiley.

Solo mining was becoming annoying without proper hasing power.
What do you think is good hashing power to go solo? over 1gh?
Those beautiful days you could mine solo at 1GH/s will never return.
At the current difficulty, I'd say you need at least 5GH/s to think about it.
In other words, you should probably stop thinking about it.
Would it annoy you if I told you that I mined my first 50 BTC solo, with a quad-core CPU? :-) I used my puny 5870 (340 Mhash/s) to mine quite a few blocks solo, too. But those days are, as you say, sadly long gone :-(



oooooorgle... tell me about it. haha

Sure, its cooperation between pools & miners. & This pool actually called in the name of "cooperative mining"
Why should pool owner convince a miner?

So if I want to contriube 568MH, what is the payout like? *never pooled mine, just curious..if you can convince me*
I need to hit another 500MH soon before though.

Didnt mean it like that. Just wanted to see peoples thoughts and advantages between the two.

Calc says I'll do 1.30 BTC solo, so does the pool calc at deepbit if I pool.
So far so good though, im already pooling and liking it.
