Seems to be working well now, thanks Flound!

Quick question, since the multiport basically gets us to pool hop (and there's a LOT of hopping going on over the past 24hrs), wouldn't it be best if the reward was proportional instead of PPLNS.

Sounds like "Stress test time baby".. I'm switching back to the new multipool servers.

Also, the low confirmations I have set on most coins make it easy to transfer and trade them quickly.

Torn, you can mine LTC directly on port 3334 if you want to.

"/Rant: Unfortunately what is going on is what I feared would happen. With so many alts on the multiport now, it is switching coins so often none will be really profitable. The profitability is useless to look at IMO since by the time you get any and trade them, their value has dropped. I don't care except for the fact I joined pool to mine LTC and the multiport may never switch to LTC again with new alts popping up everyday.
 If you have coins and sell them at the moment profit is high then it may count but that's counting chickens before they hatch.  The PPLNS method from everything I've read says your efficiency doesn't get to max until you have been mining for at least 24 hours, so how can mining for a few minutes here and there on any coin do any good? /Rant"

GL all.

That wouldn't have been possible at the time you posted since all of the poolservers and the db were down.

Great work flound. Let's hope the hiccups are gone now, you must be worn out by now
Thanks for the work so far.

We're up..  Stats will take 10-15 minutes to return to normal.

Looks like the pool is back up and mining WDC. The user stats still aren't refreshing though.

There have been a lot of hiccups in the past week.  That's exactly what I plan to do once things are running smoothly.  I need a break!

The recent issues aren't really about the new coins though.  Most of the issues are due to concurrency issues running multiple copies of stratum.  It wasn't showing up with only 2 backend servers, but now that there are 6, it's causing some unforeseen issues in the db.   I'm watching the db closely right now to see if the upgrade fixed the issue.

Yeah I think flound should let his system settle down. It seems like in the past week there are hiccups every day if not every six hours. With people demanding new coins or different systems and what not. If I were him I'd wait till the system runs fine for a month or so and handles scaling growth acceptably before powering in more features. At the EOD though it is his product to do what he wishes with.

It IS mining just terribly inefficiently.


Just asking when should I report back, there is some expected time when it will be back online, isn't it?

flound is working hard on it to get it running smoothly.
i think its a big work with us and eu server now and many new coins on multiport.
we should give him time to get things running.

You should set a fallback pool in your miner config like most people do.

Seems that there si some upgrade going on, when it's going to be up and ready? I keep getting stales and whoever knows what on Pool-X all the time, I am leaving that bloody pool forever…

Pool's going down for DB upgrade.. 

It looks like we're running into a mysql bug..  http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=16708

Basically what's happening is a bunch of updates are hanging and everything is grinding to a halt.

I just restarted the db..  Hopefully it helps.  Otherwise we may be looking at an upgrade to 5.6.6.

I've had to restart the pools several times in the past hour due to code changes.. 

Multiport is dropping out once every minute. This is on the load-balanced server.

EDIT: And now it has died completely. 

There were some db issues last night causing the stratum disconnects..  I have patched stratum and I think I have the problem sorted out..
