Topic in IRC:

DC failure, ETA unknown. Suggest backup pools for the time being.

Thanks for posting Biffa as anyone that is on IRC can see out of the 1000+ miners that are on the pool only a fraction get on IRC chat and it took all day until someone posted something here to the miners that chose not to use IRC chat.

Actually to be fair, there are probably more people on IRC constantly than have ever posted in this thread over the past few weeks. And people join/leave the IRC channel all the time. Its not like its a hidden way to get news/support, its there (or it was) on the page in the help menu.

The pool started this thread and if they don't want to use it or anybody else to use it then they could have locked it a long time ago. There are a lot of lurkers that watch this thread and don't post anything.

which creates the fun part of the IRC channel. someone pops in and asks..."what is going on"...get's an answer then ten minutes later another person pops in and asks the same

I agree or I wait to ask something due to a conversation on going about something which has nothing to do with the pool or mining but hate to just butt in. Then at times no one there during the time that I can be on.... just a crap way to get information unless you have amply time to waste.

In fairness I have not been on it at all in the last couple months but before that when I was on it I found it to be very inefficient. Unless s0br was on it you never could get a answer unless it was more of a technology question. I did a lot of lucking on it and it just wasn't for me and a lot of my questions went unanswered. Also it seemed I was lucky to see maybe 20-30 at any one time on there or at least logged in. I think you have a lot more lurkers here than you do on IRC chat but that is my opinion.

EDIT: It also seems its better to just post important information or news than hope for a hit and miss approach of the IRC chat.

Why not use Eligius?

Anyone answer this? Aha

I mined on Eligius and didn't like it. I don't like the fact that the pool has been sitting on coins that were kept from a miner that tried to steal them from the pool. I quit following it but as far as I know those coins were never delivered to the miners that they should have been paid to.

The payout system is kind of screwy in my opinion. Try it and see what you think.

time to find a new pool. any suggestions?

Try NiceHash.com ... see the profit stats here: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=stats (tab SHA256)

nice hash seems cool but only way i can find is to make a new wallet, any way to use my regular one?

Sure you can ... actually you should ... mining to NiceHash deposit address (given when you register) is not supported (only used for buying hashing power) ... just set you existing Bitcoin address as you username on miners.

I think s0br is probably updating the site, since he was creating a new layout and design a week ago.

he kind of probably should have emailed everyone before taking down everything and having me wake up to my miners offline. its a good thing i setup ck.solo as the 3rd pool.. even tho finding a block is along shot.. its better then nothing.
i had geo, and geo2 as the other 2.

my failover was ck.solo maybe ill leave it there for a week to see if i get lucky.

Kano runs a good pool. I throw mine on CK.solo once in a while to see if I get lucky also.

what you think of f2pool i tried there but i think the latency was too high, i got a lot of rejects.

f2pool just had a good day and found 3 blocks. The pool is good if it's under 2 PH but once it gets to high the blocks quit coming.

Slush is another good pool just don't pull your miners or you may lose any shares if a block is not found fast after moving the miners. You can also look at some of the other major pools.
