I know what you mean, its going to be an interesting week in Cryptoworld.
Guys, no need, trying my best, the amount of downtime I've had at Hash@Me has been really minimal (like 2 hrs in a month tops) and 2/3rds of that was planned maintenance.
Seems that the massive increase in hashrate really crushed the server with the diff set to start at vardiff=16, my mistake, far too low. I'm mining at the pool now, can someone else confirm it is working correctly please?
So now there will be no vardiff? It will be static at 512?..
vardiff starting at 16 was good for cpu. My gpu mining at ~1.3M was feeling most comfortable at 128-256diff. 512 is little bit too hard for slower hardware, but good for highend hardware and farms... So the best scenario was variable diff.
Vardiff is still there. It just needs to start at 512 and drop to 16, rather than start at 16 and go up from there. It should drop if you mine for a bit.
