~~100% reject rate... What did this actually fix?~~

Someone in the 3-connections is feeding bad block data. Issue resolved, again, by deleting all the block-data, and reconnecting until I got a good reply from the good server.

You need more main servers participating in the block distribution, and something that allows the bad-block data to be removed and replaced with good data. If it is one of your servers, you may have bad RAM or a bad HD sector... be sure you are using "error correction" switches in your compiles for your servers, which should have error-correction memory and HD ability. (If you are running this off a home-PC... just surrender now.)

Finally it is mining again. Try and try again... I think all the evil has been rooted-out.

Are there stratum problems?

Code:

2013-05-13 09:57:09,990 ERROR proxy # Connection to upstream pool timed out
[2013-05-13 09:57:39] HTTP request failed: Operation timed out after 30015 milliseconds with 0 bytes received
[2013-05-13 09:57:39] submit_upstream_work json_rpc_call failed
[2013-05-13 09:57:39] ...retry after 30 seconds

Got these Messages over and over on all my miners for a few hours now :/

Vipah had to reboot the pool. Not sure if this is related to what you have going on or not just thought I would pass along the info.

Don't dwell in the past, don't dream of the future

This pool does not work with cgminer. I tried everything. Popped on reaper and pow, accepts.

I was too experiencing "time-too-old" errors. Setting expiry didn't seem to fix it. Sad

But when I add -Q 0 to cgminer, "time-too-old" errors almost disappear. Cool

same as you Sad

why is the pool stale shares so high ?

Any word on this pool having a PPS (pay per share) option instead of PPLNS ?

I think the pool was going through some growing pains as it went from 10 miners to 80 miners now. Looks like my stale issues have been fixed, but I mostly use Reaper now because it's faster and seems more stable.

Same here, switched to reaper and things seem to be a bit smoother and a bit higher hash rate too! Grin

Trying to find my way.

I tried the expiry flag for CGminer and nothing has changed. I've noticed this same problem only recently, and still nothing seems to work. Is it related to the pool or what? Here's what my batch file looks like:

Code:

@echo on
ECHO "Example cgminer miner startup file (set your own user and password)"
ECHO.

cgminer.exe -o vircurpool.com:8337 -u Dreamweaver.Test -p HD --worksize 256 --

thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 --scrypt --expiry 10

EDIT: Whoops! I missed the post regarding the pool's increased hashrate xD I suppose we can disregard this then.

Awesome, just put my miners back on and it's working for now, hopefully your fixes should prevent it from happening again

Hey guys.

Currently working on fixing some of the issues that are popping up. The increase in hashrate is exposing some issues that I've been working on solving as they come up. The the erratic stales and hash rate throttling should clear up as these problems are dealt with.

Thanks for your patience.

Yea it just happened to me again... and I'm using reaper btw. For some reason I'll stay at 5.6k for a half a day, then all of a sudden all my miners drop to 10-30 k/h giving me a total of only around 300 k/h. It's very frustrating especially since this is PPLNS, and I've never gotten my percentage of estimated coins per day. I've been mining 3 days now with my estimated coins per day being 500-1500, and I only have 900 coins because I keep having to rebuild my PPLNS count.

I've noticed a few BIG hashers on the pool CRUSHING it. Very NICE ! Grin

Hi, congrats with this.
I used the above instructions, but:
- CPU does not do anything, GPU is mining using CGminer. I want the CPU to mine for LTC it reaches 48kh/s (2600k I7)
- I have a 6950 card, and a hash rate of about 8-15kh/s, seems low?
- Half of the shares are rejected (time-too-old)

If I am doing something wrong, can you explain how to fix it?

Try reaper , it will mine with your GPU and CPU by default. Edit reaper.conf so only litecoin mining is enabled. Then in litecoin.conf put the pool details and you should be right to go.
