the pool is down!
i wanted to know if the pool has been left on its own, no support?
i wanted to know if the pool has been left on its own, no support?
I want to know this myself. I love this pool and have stuck with it from the beginning. The whole 'NodeJS' backend and the new ESMPPS system, coupled with almost 0% stales kept me hanging on. Ever since the pool started getting DDoS'd regularly and the hash rate dropped, this thread has ground to a halt. There have been no status updates on the pool since Aug 27! I know things happen, but we've been left in the dark for so long. If we knew what the issues were maybe some of us could have offered some help? I'm sad to see it just die off like this. I'm sure I'm not the only one. What's going on 1bitc0inplz?

I'm also concerned. I have half of the bitcoins I've ever mined in the hands of this pool. Lesson learned, I guess.
Hopefully the admins are just temporarily away. lowentropy was last active on these forums September 9, and I've called and left a message for Jospeh Holsten, another admin.

Damn DDoS 
The pool is offline..

It's been pretty rocky - our VPS provider randomly decided to shut down the cluster of proxies we'd set up to mitigate the (ongoing) attack.

Freenode.net is an IRC server. #BitP.it is the channel we chat on. It's some kind of old chatbox!

Hi, have a good day.
Any progress on something to show historical shares in each round for each individual? Now that this doesn't directly relate to BTC earned it would make things more transparent and clearly show the "unders and overs" system in action. It would also allow us to see our Pot of BTC remaining to even things out during a long round.

There has been good progress made on that, and I have all those numbers you ask for in our database. Unfortunately this past week has got us sidetracked fighting off DDoS attacks
For the stability of the pool, this dictates that we must spend some more time applying some of our lessons learned and attempt to reduce the effects of further attacks.
I do not want to attempt to guess when we will feel comfortable with our additional measures and be able to return to developing features. However, I completely understand the interest in trying to be transparent. If you (or anyone else) wants up to the minute details on those stats, do not hesitate to #bitp.it on irc.freenode.net and I'll be glad to give you all the information I can. Considering we haven't yet exposed that via the UI, it's the least I can do.
Never used it and wouldn't know how http://serve.mysmiley.net/confused/confused0024.gif
Besides, as long as there is progress and I can expect to see this soon then a week or two is not going to make much difference.
Keep up the good work

Good morning Bitcoin world!

Dont stress to much about it, just wanted to let you know.
I understand.

Well the problem for me is that I submitted between 8-10k shares which never got accounted/paid/estimated during the block.
I guess they are lost now but it did submit to the server during the timeframe people posted in here that stats dont update ;/

I do believe you, and I am extremely sorry about the situation. I wish there was a way I could find out what all was lost during the downtime (for everyone), but unfortunately if the queue crossed the high water mark and started discarding new messages there is no hope of recovering those.
I know it doesn't make up for anybodies lost work, but if it's any conciliation, I am working right now on some steps to attempt and limit the impact of future attacks of this nature. I am not saying it will stop the attacks, as attacks of this nature of purely a cat and mouse game, but hopefully it will mitigate some of the symptoms.

New shares is being added now however I didnt receive any credit for the shares I submitted while the stats werent updated.
1bitcoinplz can you tell me how you will resolve the missing credit please, I cant waste my time mining on a pool like that.

I apologize for the downtime. We've been under some form of an attack (some form of DDoS I suspect) for going on a week. Last night was by far the worst, it brought the entire system offline. In fact, somewhere in the whole mess our accounting process locked up and was offline for about 6 hours.
I restarted it the first thing when I noticed it (when I woke up). It processed every share in it's queue. All shares in the queue were accounted for.
If shares are "missing" it could be for one of two things. Our pool was offline a lot, and therefore your expected share rate per hour would not be equal to what we were all actually getting.
If shares were missing for any other reason, it's probable that the sheer number of shares in the queue exceeded the high water mark. If that is the case, then the attackers have screwed us all over pretty big
