ethought, the mec pool is acting up again. hashrate not recorded.
in fact, it's been going up and down for the last couple of hours.
is it a traffic problem? does it has something to do with the new guy came in with 50k hash ? lol
also, were those shares while hashrate down counted? because while the hashrate shown is zero, my miner keep hashing like normal, and shares shown as accepted.
please investigate.
thank you.
Yes, had some problems again with the Megacoin pool. I finally tracked the problem down to a bad Fastcoin client that was just about killing one of the servers and causing delays on all data access to one of the stratum servers from the master pool server. I have since removed that fastcoin client and added more resources to that particular server and that seems to have solved the problem.
Apologies for the intermittent problems over the last few days.
Also, as explained in the FAQ, when one client is down stats are paused but the other stratum servers (in the case of Megacoin the other 3 Stratum servers) keep running normally and once conectivity is restored to all stratum servers all accepted shares are counted and paid out as normal. That is part of the reason there are redundant stratum servers, so if one dies you can keep hashing on the others in the meantime. The only thing that stops working are the front end stats. The reason the stats stop updating is so that the system does not miss paying out shares that were on the stratum server that is no longer contactable before it became inaccessible - if that makes any sense.
