At least one node is down, and I think the preferences on the Geo server have been changed. So you might see your miners on unusual nodes. Hopefully the changes make sense and reduce your invalids.
On another note, multi-output payments are a reality now. This puts the fees more in line with other pools. So nothing to worry about there any longer, thank goodness
I did notice my miners mining on some nodes in some places they never have before and once I even seen overseas. Yesterday 2 miners did drop from the pool for a very short time but were back on in less than 5-10 mins.
What is "multi-output payments"? I take it that it is where you can set a coin amount instead of a time frame for payments? If so is that set by the miner or the pool?
What I meant was that before one pool payment transaction used 0.0001 fee for one payment(output). Now, it's up to 50 outputs per transaction. The fee has to go a little past 0.0001 for all 50 usually, but this works out to a large savings over time. And that savings makes the 1% bonus more secure.
My local machine is back on the node closest, but the China miners are actually using Tokyo now, a place they never touched before. My invalids have gone down, so I can't complain.
Last two blocks and the current one we are working on has been long. I'm current on payments, but I hope to see more lucky blocks.
@rkinnin, I'd just use 3333 and set the diff you want. Remember diff can be set with a username like username.machine##1024 with 1024 being a diff. Usernames are auto-added, so just set the machine and keep mining.
and in a twist of faith it was one of 3 miners I named after ....Really?
