So fees are still kept by pool right?
Correct, transaction fees are currently used to build the pool reserves.
You do know what you say when implementing new system?

With regards to transaction fees I've not yet enabled the payment of these to users - the pool still keeps them - but I expect to do that in the next day or two once the orphan code has settled.
So you are kind of eating up your words. I thought you have problems implementing...

The fact is my post is clearly time stamped, from the time I posted the "yellowed" out image, to the date  & time stamp in my last post.
I'm not sure what this is referring to.

Thanks. Any chance of getting the rest of the information I asked for? It would be most useful.

K the answer is a 'couple of hours', that is the apparent maximum the service is stable under a 4GH/s load...
Given that there are miners mining with 100+ GH/s I don't think that's true. Again, what miner are you using. Do you have backup pools configured. Can you paste, PM or email the command line and/or configuration file you use for the pool. There's obviously something wrong with either your setup or the pool's setup such that it doesn't like something your mining software is doing and it'd be good to work out what it is.

Restarting the software and system clears it up for a bit of time, but then it comes back straight away.

Its about 500 shares low now and it was about 400 shares low 4 hours ago.  Does that sound about like the queue delay then if I am at 800Mhs?
No, that shouldn't be the delay. It would help to track down what's happening if you can email [email protected] with:

1) Your pool username
2) What miner your are using
3) Have you got any backup pools configured
4) Logs of a mining session that include lost shares. Something about 30 minutes long should cater for the delay.

The more detailed the logs the better but anything that includes submitted/rejected/accepted is helpful. If you could also let me know the timezone of the logs so I can match up with what's in the database that'd help.

Thanks!

I have also noted some lag on the stats page where a few refreshes inside of a minute or so will show just about everything changing except my shares, and then If I keep refreshing eventually the shares will jump by a significant portion.
There is a number of delays between a share being submitted and stats being shown on the stats page. The page itself is cached by the webserver for a number of seconds to reduce load. This means it is always behind. When you submit a share the share the result of that submit (rejected, accepted) goes into a queue. That share is submitted to the database when the queue is processed. This can take some time depending on pool load, database activities, etc. Once it's processed from the queue the web server can report it. This has been the apparent discrepancy in the times that others have reported issues.

You have not. You have not answered the questions I asked to track down the problem. Your response to my questions was "Seriously...". That's not being civil. If you really want to resolve the issue then to help find out the issue, please provide the information I asked for:

What mining software are you using? Do you have backup pools configured with it? Do you have any logs you can provide to look into it?

In particular, with regards to logs, if you can provide protocol dumps (cgminer uses "-P") that would be most useful.

You know I'm on strat because we HAVE discussed this.. that is why you 'retired' some servers.
I get quite a few emails and requests for support, it's helpful if you answer questions in a civil tone with the information requested so we can move towards a solution. If you're not willing to do this I suggest you mine elsewhere.

There is more than 20Gh I can point at your pool, but if I have to continually adjust my costings and monitor the setup so I don't loose money (something you are being paid to manage), then I can just as easily point it at Elgius.

You provide a chargeable service, perhaps it would be conducive to your pools health  if you started to act like it, or perhaps it is YOU that should not be in this business.

But I will take your suggestion.... If your system can hold together long enough to for me to meet the minimum target for payout.
To that end I have thrown 4GH/s at your pool to see how long it can go without serious issues, but the pool has already started to 'pull' downwards.
Elgius shows the same allocation as >4.4GH/s

It appears that not all of my shares are being counted.  I restarted my miners right at the last block to make it easier to count, and since I have been seeing a discrepancy lately, and about 20% of the submitted shares are not showing on the stats page.  No errors on my end.  Shares are not being reported as rejected.

I have also noted some lag on the stats page where a few refreshes inside of a minute or so will show just about everything changing except my shares, and then If I keep refreshing eventually the shares will jump by a significant portion.

Is it possible the missing shares have not been added to the stats yet?  Twenty percent seems like a large portion to be missing especially 4 hours into the block.

I only have 2 miners (400Ghs each).  They are both connecting on port 3333 using the same credentials.  Given that about 1/5th of the shares are not being reported on the stats page it is not a problem with one miner working and one not.  There are too many shares reported for one miner but not enough for them both.

Why in your GUI can we not get  access to the orphaned data(block number)?
Block numbers are available here. Block 242,435 is the one referred to.

I would like to know the % of orphans other pools have, because I still have the feeling that this pool has a fairly high ratio.
This most recent orphan was caused by a bitcoind issue that an emergency patch was supplied for. The issue caused the bitcoin daemon that the pool daemon was hidden behind to crash due to OOM and the pool daemon no longer received updates. It's unfortunate but not much could be done about bitcoind bugs.

This one, or are we talking about another one?

Yep this is just too much.......
The pool is continually playing up.
This is the first I've heard of this. Are you on getwork or stratum?

giving the miners work then continually rejecting it.... with "unknown-work"
'unknown-work' means work is being submitted to the pool that it didn't serve. What mining software are you using? Do you have backup pools configured with it? Do you have any logs you can provide to look into it?


Seriously.......

And yet I have  ZERO problems with elgius,BTCguild,ABCpool
50BTC gives me problems when it is DOS'ed

So why is it that one account mines fine and yet another is continually a problem, or is it that the 'new' account is the only one that works reliably ?

I can tell you that all pools have problems since 0.8.1. Before that it was normal to have 1 to 2 %. Slush record is 3 orphans in a day... It is more of a bitcoind issues lately. I first thought WTF but when I got explanation I perfectly OK with it.
