Yeah I noticed that too so I bought TAG only to see the price drop 20% soon after I bought in.... Cry

TAG has gone from ~$2.50 to 80 cents over the last week or so. I'm not panicking though. A lot of hash power and attention has gone to the "coin of the week" - DOGE a coin that has gone from nothing to the second highest hashrate after LTC in about a week (hence the current diff drop in TAG) even though it doesn't have a proper exchange to trade it on. Go figure.

It's funny a hype driven coin like a doge takes off and TAG continues to be largely ignored. I still think TAG is a few milestones and press releases from taking off.

You could do a jackpot based on finding a block, but have it weighted/adjusted so that whether you have 300kh or 300,000mh, you have the same chance. This may attract numerous smaller miners? Having whales is nice also, so maybe a prize for fastest found blocks or most frequent finds or something?

I like the fastest block idea... that's a reward that anyone could possibly get, and easily traceable.

I was thinking about giving away some of the Tagbond RFID cards I have as rewards. I know it's not cash or coin, but it would help spread the word. I think the biggest thing is just getting more people on the TAG bandwagon.

Maybe we can pull Mark over here with his farm Grin

The whale will probably be back. If not, spread the word about the pool. If GPUs were available right now, I'd put some jackpot money into a GPU for a monthly prize. But that would require a working exchange too lol.

Maybe I'll look at this for next month. Anyone have any suggestions for promotions to draw in new miners?

We lost the whale... now if we can just pick up some block while the difficulty is low... was down to 34... have not seen that for a while.

Just a reminder to the miners out there that the jackpot logging started about 9 1/2 hours ago. Remember that last week's jackpot pool has carried over to this week due to the issues we had last week.

So get in now if you want to try for the double jackpot this week!

Ok here's the skinny on what was happening:

Bad news... the mysql slave server at some point lost connection to the master which threw it out of replication. So the front-end knew that it had written block, share and payment data to the master database, but when it went to read the info from the slave it wasn't synced. Thus the missing block confirms, finders, etc.

Good news... nothing was lost during this time, and the time earlier today. All the data was properly written to the DB. I was able to shut down the slave and kick the reads back over to the master without any downtime. Also, I've been monitoring the resource usage on the master DB, and it looks good. I think with the live data turned off, we'll be ok just running the master for now. Looking back now, the upgraded server we had before probably would have been fine had I known about the live stats being the issue. Either way though, we're still churning out blocks, and the pool is working properly now.

So crisis averted... again.

Thank you for all that you are doing kind sir! It is nice to know we have such a good pool admin :-)

I found a block... I found a block... I found block #17371!!! Yoo hooo!!!!

We have been doing some really long rounds today... hope tomorrow is better.

Grats, mate!

Now make sure you say that every time we have long rounds... we had 7 rounds that were 25% expected shares or less in a row. You're like a mining round fortune teller.

The last 2 times it got stuck were both unusually long rounds. Would that have anything to do with the glitch?

We're still recording blocks and shares, but the front end isn't reading the back end properly. I am looking at it right now.

It's doing it again Fuse. 20 blocks mined by network since the last one found by us yet block stats showing 199 confirms to go.

Quote from: johndec2 on December 14, 2013, 04:53:11 AM

Something is wrong. Block stats haven't updated for over 3 hours and pool stats say we haven't found a block in 3 1/2 hours which is impossible with our hashrate?? Block stats is stuck on 198 confirms to go on a block found over 3 hours ago. In that time ~ 40 blocks have been found.

I'm up... and I'm looking into it.

I've restarted the databases, and some of the block stats have started to populate. I'll see why they all haven't. Worst case scenario, I'll manually alter the tables with the info in the logs. There was no lost mining, shares or payouts... just for some reason the front-end wasn't reading the back-end correctly.

I'll update as I find out more.

Update- Everything is back to normal. I'm going to say a hiccup.

Not sure. I'm guessing that the backend is still doing the voodoo that it does, but just in case, I'm mining some dogecoins just for fun till Fuse wakes up and fills us in.

Did we find the blocks and the front end is not reporting or did we just lose 3 hours of hash-time?

Keep mining or take the miners off-line?
