You sound like a bit of a whale yourself? A few hundred?!

The pool seems best both in yield and query times around 60Mh/s...

Noo, not quite there /yet/ lol. I'm trying though. I was referring to an SHA256 coin, so it was GH.

Fuse,

Since the whale left, query times are sub-100ms, averaging around 60ms.

If he was running 119 workers, then he must be using GPU's and running a instance for GPU because he is averaging 700Kh/s for each worker. It is a shame to see him leave, so maybe suggest that he combine GPU's so he needs less workers or maybe the he ramp up his miners over the course of a few days to provide you a chance to work out what is needed to handle the load.

HashFaster's pool is running around 130Mh/s, but according to the pool register the largest miner is about 10Mh/s and the load is spread more evenly across the top 15.

Not sure what I can do to help, but let me know what you need and I may be able to contribute something.

24Kilo

Edit - query times for HashFaster's pool as I type this are 3000ms plus... fluctuating between 2500 to over 5000 at times.

How big is your server upload? And do you have loadbalancing software?

Server upload? You mean bandwidth on the upload connection or the size of the server?

The back-end mysql cluster is load-balanced via mysqlnd_ms, which is supported on the MPOS installation. I can see traffic between the cluster, so I know it is working properly. I need to trace the bottleneck and find out if there is a fix. I'll be working on this throughout the weekend.

I logged into the Hashfaster pool and saw that they're in the same boat as us when they hit ~150MH. I might drop a line to a few helpful pool ops and see if they have any suggestions. If anyone is a server pro, PM me if you have any advice.

If another pool is having the same issues, that's a starting point. Are they on the same service provider? If so there's a possibility, but if not it could point to an issue with the backend of the coin itself.

I mined some cubits when they first hit, and it was fine with low power but when I threw a few hundred at it, the server choked. Others reported similar issues. Pool operator kept saying nothing was wrong, but it ended up being a bug in the coin/code.

I wish I had access to cheap processing like in China.. lol.

What provider are you using? It's definitely seems like a pipe issue.

Also, is this likely why the dashboard doesn't show all of my miners? They say they're connected and providing shares, but the dashboard isn't crediting me. At times it's showing no miners.

I'm using Digital Ocean. Support ticket went in just now, so I'll see what they say.

I think the worker issue is definitely related to this slowdown. Right now, that whale is throwing exactly 119 workers at the pool. That's wrapping up the workers table with his workers, and I think that's where the issue with the missing worker stats lies. Make sure your workers are showing up with hashrates in the workers page. I read somewhere where the pool ops were turning this off on the dashboard to save resources. I might try that for a day or two later to see what's going on.

If the whale isn't gone by the end of the day, I'm going to email him again using google translate.

Well here we go again Angry

.

Ok, so this definitely has to be a traffic issue at this point. The CPU and memory graphs, as well as running TOP, on the frontend and DB servers all come back with little to no usage. I'm going to be putting in a service inquiry to the server provider to find out why they can't seem to handle the load.

In the meantime I've asked the whale from China to leave. I know he was pulling blocks for us at an awesome speed, but I'll take a steady pool over the lag we're getting any day. I sent him an email this morning, so we'll see what happens today.

I'm sorry guys Sad

. I was banking on this upgrade fixing things. In the meantime, I guess I'm going to start having to look for another hosting provider with a faster connection. Fudge-knuckle.

Scrypt ASIC... only a matter of time I suppose... will make GPU's a thing of the past for mining scrypt just like SHA256.

Definitely.. and I want in on that action. I haven't heard from any of the 3 places claiming to be working on a product. Has anyone else?

As to the query times, is this a bandwidth issue? Seems like it.

Would also love to know what he's using. Everytime I try to talk to one of the whalers, they refuse to talk about their setup. Kinda sketch if you ask me, it's just a generic question.

Query times blown out again... 1200-1500ms... I hate to think how much Fuse has invested in this pool, but things are not great.

HashFaster's pool has been slow as well since the hashrate went over 100Mh/s

Fuse,

I have 3 small systems pointed your way, and all 3 show connected and providing shares. The dashboard interface is only reflecting hashpower from 2 ,and only showing 2 of my workers online.

Querytime averages about ~1200ms.

I heard it was speculation. The UK based scrypt asic designers were supposed to already have their prototype out. I'm on the ~~mailing~~ "preorder" list, as well as with 2 other places, but no news in over a month.

Some 'experts' said it would be awhile before we saw anything working because of the technology itself being unable to do what the designers want it to do (crazy hash rate, small 1-4U sizes, low power).

I always like seeing what people have for equipment though

Keep in mind, I know it's unethical, but some people use the GPU research/processing power at universities and companies, to run scryptcoin.

Guys mining goes shitty. over 2000 ms and after 2 hours still same coin rate i had before.

@24kilo

Some people already have a Scrypt asic. i was reading a article about it 2 weeks ago, im not sure were.

Since the whale joined the pool my query times have gone from 50-90ms to 250-600ms.

At 85Mh/s as a single miner, he is almost double the rest of the pool miners. I am would really like to know more about his set-up, that is a lot of hashing power, that is a lot of GPU's!!!

Edit - Query Times around 90ms

I'm getting ~ 200ms on my wireless laptop, which is OK. Only seems to lag at > 500.

Fuse,

Coming online now... thanks for all your hard work!!!

NP, mate. You and Johndec keep me informed of how your querytimes are looking down there. I had to move the servers about 3000 miles farther away from you. AFKMPEG, if you come back to the pool, let me know how you're looking too. It would be nice to get an idea of the world speeds. That would be a really slick plugin if they ever made it, like a hashrate map of the world for the pool. I wonder if I can parse that and dump it into a Google map API script. I'll have to look into that

.

Things are looking pretty good right now with almost 40MH on the pool, but only time will tell. I'll take the slow increase in hashpower right now... the wife can't take another day of me glued to the computer screen Roll Eyes

lol. If a whale comes online and buries the server, I will lock them and investigate the lag. We won't have another hard down like that again if I have a say.

So keep me informed of how things are going, I'm going to step away from the screen for the first time in a long while. Night all.

I am trying to be one of the big fish while the pool is small.... trying to squeeze 3Mh/s out of my rigs... have a some issues with heat though... saw John got lucky and found a block again... wonder if I can be so lucky!!!

We've found our first block since being back online, and we're looking good on the backside. Let's see what happens as the hashpower ramps back up.
