both pools just went offline at same time and after looking at logs it looks like someone was trying a scripted entry but just resulted in a DOS of the pool servers  Undecided

both pools are back up and no access was gained  Cool

Can you tell me which part is unstable? While Im solo mining blakecoind likes to time out sometimes.

The current problem is with the shares submission to the database at some point the socket(db connection) is locking up and creating a broken pipe, this looks like it is due to the structure of a few functions that opens the connection and then opens the cursor but does not close it correctly, best practice says to close the cursor and db connection after you have finished insert but the pool code is not doing that it even reuses the socket which can also create issues and it should be flushed before reuse?

edit:
on windows due to a bug in the boost library you can get a timeout/lock that is due to be fixed in 0.9.0 by upgrading the boost library to 1.55

Added a pool in New York  Grin

I was using this as a test server but have cleaned the db and fixed the front end, it is using the same code base as EU server so might still be unstable until I have rewritten a few functions  Embarrassed

payout was working but not tested since wipe

I am now working on a third server that I am doing all my tests on  Cool

this should work for a pool only failover cgminer.conf:

Code:
{
"pools" : [
{
       "url" : "stratum+tcp://eu1.blakecoin.com:3334",
"user" : "UserName.Worker",
"pass" : "WorkerPass"
        },
        {
       "url" : "stratum+tcp://ny1.blakecoin.com:3334",
"user" : "UserName.Worker",
"pass" : "WorkerPass"
}
],

"intensity" : "10",
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"no-restart" : true,
"queue" : "3",
"scan-time" : "30",
"worksize" : "128",
"temp-hysteresis" : "4",
"blake256" : true,
"vectors" : "1",
"failover-only" : true,
"no-submit-stale" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/"
}

still unstable Embarrassed

Edit:
updated the code to match latest I am testing on the New York server

Edit2:
kramble recommended adding a failover to solo mining, so my cgminer.conf now looks like this:

Code:
{
"pools" : [
{
       "url" : "stratum+tcp://eu1.blakecoin.com:3334",
"user" : "UserName.Worker",
"pass" : "WorkerPass"
        },
        {
"url" : "127.0.0.1:8772",
"user" : Walletuser",
"pass" : "Walletuserpass"
}
],

"intensity" : "10",
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"no-restart" : true,
"queue" : "3",
"scan-time" : "30",
"worksize" : "128",
"temp-hysteresis" : "4",
"blake256" : true,
"vectors" : "1",
"failover-only" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/"
}

if it was pool 1 and pool 2 you can also add:

Code:
"no-submit-stale" : true,

but not recommended for solo or mix pool/solo like the above

might need to re-write the share submission and open/close the cursor within the function
