Once you learn how to use cgminer I guarantee* you won't ever use anything else.

Hmm, gave it a try
Result: Doesn't work so well for Windows users .. apparently it was able to read GPU frequency and fan rate, but not to write it, so all the smart controls weren't working ..
Back to MSI Afterburner+GUIMiner
cgminer works like a charm for me on Windows 7 x64 with and MSI R5830 Twin Frozer II, it automatically switched to deepbit when Slush went offline and now it seems to have switched back to Slush.

On that note, welcome back Slush ! Thanks for all your hard work !

That is so true and more people find that fact out each and every day, only to wonder why they hadn't made the switch to CGMiner earlier...

omg ... why didn't I try this earlier? Thx for the info.

slush, hats off to you for your effort and final success in bringing the pool up. i hope you don't get upset about the unhappy campers that complained about non-payment during the downtime. you will notice that there were only a few of them versus a LOT more people who showed their patience and supported you. it's bad mining strategy if someone hasn't set up their miner to fall back to another pool in case of downtime and it's not your fault if anyone has lost any amount of mining time due to this reason.

kudos.

tinmann: I'll recalculate all those blocks affected by outages with proportional method. You're right that score method don't work well when miners cannot submit their shares. So I'm sure you'll have something from those blocks, too.

Last few weeks were really crazy. It started with merged mining hacking, then DDoS attack, cancelling linode, finding another provider and migration from Xen to VMWare. And finally debugging that strange disk issue and migrating from VMWare to bare metal. Of course with very long and painful outages, but sometimes many weird things happen at the same moment.

Now pool runs nicely, actually the server is idling for current hashrate. Everything I wish is to have pool stable for some time, because I simply need some rest.

Great job.  A 34 hour block wasn't fun.  But it will be worth something, but not to me, all of my shares were submitted before the crash.  I bet scoring provides me little on that round.

Ok, I think I'm done. Anybody see any issue in mining?

I'm sorry guys, but payments must wait, I need some sleep. It's 6am here and I don't feel so fresh after 9 hours of intentsive work on pool setup.

Common guys, it's not configured yet. Be more patient, please.

Confused, the pool is up and running at 350 Ghash/s.  I'm happy about that.  Payouts will come later.  I am only using 165 mhash/s for myself, so it isn't that much anyway.

No its not just you, and when I do try to throw a new address in, the website returns 404 and then I get an "Under maintenance" screen.

I'm sure you are working feverishly, I shall make a sacrifice to the gods for you to have success.

Slush:
Minor webpage error. In the "My Account" section I have an error message:
"This is not a valid Namecoin address. Please install Namecoin client to get one."
despite the address being the same one I put in before you started paying out namecoins.

Thought I'd mention it in case it isn't just me. If it is just me, I'll generate a new one and toss it in.

Thanks...

Im guessing it will end up invalid.  Not sure why, but a lot of the blocks I've seen that short end up being marked invalid.

I'm here for a moment Smiley. No, this block is perfectly valid, you can click to blocknumber and see details on block explorer.

Enough with the added extras
more important
   how about processing payout since this all day outage

We've been WAITING on namecoin payout for 3 days

clicking on the block number isn't a recently added extra, it has been there for a long time.

1. Strange, re: waiting three days since I believe my last namecoin payout from Slush occurred two days ago.
2. The webpage says (although down at the moment) that payouts should be processed by Nov 3rd at 12:00 UTC

Funny I've been checking every hr & never saw said notice

This IS BAD up & down for at least 3 days is BS
playing with tor instead of TCB
I've been getting http timeouts for 2 wks but only on one machine and yes it's using api2 address

I was trying to check namecoin stuff and have been waiting for funds to build & process

at this point I've gotten more straight pay out from deepbit in the last 24hrs
than slushes proportional pay scheme for every day last week

putting it mildly I"m not a happy camper




oh REALLY
pool still down -- NO payout

I'm pretty sure his estimation on when the payouts would be processed (and there was something he had to do manually) was annihilated by the pool going down again. I know that the message that was on the webpage 'disappeared'.

Personally I prefer him working to get the pool up and running again as opposed to processing the payouts (since both will take time, he is prioritizing to get the pool back up. Also if the error is with the machine, do you really want it running the payouts program while it is unstable? You can be sure that in addition to some manual effort there are programs involved also.)
