During the recent DDOS I switched to BTCGuild for a while. I'm back here now. One feature that they have which is pretty nice is the "Inactive Miner Notification". It sends an e-mail when a miner becomes inactive for over x minutes. Any chance of having a similar feature in this pool?

I just migrated pool to another datacentre (longer story later...). There are three loadbalancers behind every of following DNS:
stratum.bitcoin.cz
stratum2.bitcoin.cz
stratum3.bitcoin.cz
So nine machines are filtering the traffic right now. Balancers behind stratum.bitcoin.cz seems to be dead from the attack, but time to time I see some accepted connection. Once the connection is established, it will be kept by the balancer (that's nice advantage of Stratum protocol).
Please try these URLs in your miners, some of them will, at least after few tries, work for you.
some one may want to copy this in to a sticky some place.... the Stratum servers ( yes plural ) have changed and yes Port 3333 and not any thing else for Stratum ( getwork will cost ya 10% fee otherwise )stratum.bitcoin.cz
stratum2.bitcoin.cz
stratum3.bitcoin.cz

I'm using cgminer 2.11.3, 2.11.4 and 2.10.5 on several rigs.
I assume that using http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332 should autoswitch me over to the stratum port. And it appears that in the past that was always the case.
Has something changed recently? When I logged into my account today, the profile page had a big warning about my miners connecting via getwork.
Do I now have to force port 3333? is 8332 only getwork?

they all balance out.
last week we had a 10s block and then 2 or 3 later a 2s block.

Yea I totally remember that! I managed to get 1 single share in each of those -- got a whole fat bit-cent for one of them!

What is the longest round you've seen? And I mean when the pool is at normal capacity...
Here's two back to back 5hr rounds just before I joined the pool:
17325 2013-04-07 10:49:25 5:05:30 30603679 none none 230105 25.35777321 confirmed

I've seen several over 8 may have been a 12 in there. Was unstable a few weeks wasn't looking all that closely.

Hash rate is coming back up. Maybe we lost some miners or they just haven't reconnected... but we bounced back pretty quickly I thought! Although the 2000ghash rate I saw on the upswing reminded me of the good old days not so long ago...
April 18, 2013, 08:05:01 PM
hm we have 30% lower hash rates compared to before the DDOS attack, higher difficulty but 163% pool luck? something must be wrong 
Nothing is wrong, pool is just lucky. Btw luck has nothing to do with difficulty change or pool hashrate, it just reflects if pool needed more or less shares to find a block than it should in average.
Seems that luck is sometimes followed by bad luck. NO blocks for over 4 hours. Crank it up guys!

Thanks digital, new to this. wanted to make sure it wasn't me making a mistake somewhere.
np, you'll see it going up as more shares get submitted....
April 18, 2013, 04:29:01 PM
Is this just a bug on the website. program reports 60+ on website its 5?
the rate reported on the website is not very accurate first off, and second it's a half hour average based on shares submitted during that time. So if you just started a miner after over a half hour of down time it will take 30 minutes at least before is shows a fairly accurate rate.
Actually, now that i think about it, i'm not sure about the half hour part. It might be the average for the round based on shares submitted...

Is this still valid? or has it been updated?
-o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
technically yep, ya can use stratum2.bitcoin.cz or stratum3.bitcoin.cz -o stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
and yea, it's been updated to use those 2 new addresses ( still same port )
Cheers buddy

cosurgi, thanks, I'll google it. Right now I'm designing "final" EC2 architecture so any experience in this area is valuable.
I think I found it:http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/12/14/1851240/why-anonymous-cant-take-down-amazoncom
and I found an older one too:
http://it.slashdot.org/story/04/07/07/1811211/akamai-how-they-fought-recent-ddos-attacks
But I think that going with amazon is a good bet.
EDIT: just remember how bitomat.pl went bankrupt: he kept wallet.dat on EC2 (maybe cloud, or something, I don't remember) and reconfigured something in the servers. After restart the system was "clean". So as usual, keep backups safe
Yeah, from the control panel, the instances are delete on termination by default so it deletes the volume that used to boot the instance.
