Can't connect to any ports on multipool. So site still has numerous issues to resolve.
Also, on the Help section of multipool, the option to use the freenode for multipool is USELESS for people who don't have any idea how to use freenode. You folks might want to either put instructionis on there on how exactly to connect to your freenode channel, OR make the link on your site take you directly to your channel on freenode, as other sites have done.

Its hard to run a site like multipool, esspecially when the hashrate almost doubled in a week, i, and i think most miners can understand the difficulties.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Now I'm confused.
Suddenly hordes of "Newbies" with knowledge and hash power that outperforms couple orders of magnitude their status here making constant unnecessary pressure. 
I believe that if someone tries to track down this "newbies" it will go down to the source of multipool attacks. 
I'm not moving away of multipool. Two days mining for the pool without payment for one year period is less than 1% donation. Flound, take Your time.
You're confused? About what? I may be a new poster here but I've been mining BTC since the old CPU days on my laptop, then with a GPU farm, now with ASICS. Now I use my GPUs for Scrypt. I've used (and paid for) most major pools and a lot of little ones. I've never dealt with an admin who had a major problem then gone completely dark. Have you? If you think this is "normal" tell me the other major sites who behave this way. I can't think of one (except for a few scammers). Just because you trust him doesn't mean I should with my 80,000 outstanding coins.
As some very wise poster said, lack of communication leads to speculation. You accusing concerned posters of causing the outage is speculative and outrageous.
Flound should issue a short update to stop folks like you from making irresponsible speculation - 'cause you just don't know, do you? Only Flound does and he ain't talkin' apparently......
Most system-admins have to learn how important feedback is, esspecially when there is somekind off trouble, looks flound is a technical admin, when there are problems totally focussed on it, and forget his users.
Flound is also never too old to learn
Its funny newbies calling not so newbies newbies beceause they are new on a forum.
Everytime it happens, it make my day

All of my miners have switched over to the backup pools, too much load on multiports causing connection difficulties?
January 25, 2014, 01:04:39 PM
Yes multipool is back, but i can´t still mining on EU or US DOGE pool
January 25, 2014, 01:04:26 PM
Great!

ok we got an update on multipool website as follows
Jan 25 1:10 PM We're back, some things are still messed up, like block times in the header. We are aware of the issues. About a hundred doge blocks from yesterday have not yet been scored because we are copying 60 million shares over to the new DB table. After those shares have been copied the missing blocks will be scored and paid.

Well that post about the pool being up 2 or 3 up, I went to Multipool changed my payout for mooncoin below the 10k or so I had in there and about a minute later the mooncoin showed up in my wallet.
So as far as I'm concerned, if there was anything dodgy, I wouldn't have been able to get any coins out so I'm happy.
As someone who lost 100k doge or so on scryptpools........... the community(and myself a little) is too panicky and too unwilling to give the benefit of the doubt. If someone is out to screw people you find out, what is the use in accusations so quickly, just because one git was out there to steal from people doesn't mean everyone is.

If you read the status messages on the frontend you probably noticed the cryptsy review link there. That one has its backfire to multipool. I have no idea if it are newbies or huge mining farms, doesnt mater anyway, point is that the hasharate doubled, i doubt that flound has some resources flying around any moment he needs.
There is nothing wrong with status updates.

Most pools dont pay enough to quit your day job.
Just as an academic exercise, is there a reasonable way to estimate the approximate gross revenue a business like multipool.us generates annually ?
That's very hard especially since this revenue is tied to variations in the value of each cryptocurrency and their profitability at the moment the owners 'cash in'. I'd say it's near to impossible to estimate.
Lets assume you are mining DOGE with 20GH at 1.5%. One way to get gross revenue is to just plug 300MH hash rate in the coinwarz mining profitability calculator. This yields a gross annual revenue of ~1906 BTC, or (at today's valuation) ~ 1.8M USD

it did a few minutes ago, I tried refresh the page and now the front end is back up
January 25, 2014, 11:29:36 AM
just checked the frontend again, get the following message
Update: DB issues forced a rebuild. Please switch to Another pool for Now. Things Should be Back to normal by Morning. coins Are safe.

Yeah that's an old message, it doesn't display that now.

For sure, but if we make some reasonable working assumptions it should be possible to get a ball park estimate.
Skip the fiat conversion problems, just an estimate in coins and assuming something reasonable with respect to increase in difficulty.
