Topic: [ Bonus PPS Pool - 130% PPS - OPEN ] - page 57. (Read 94030 times)

You know, in my experience, most pools start having problems when they have too many users/connections.  This typically happens way before they reach the hashrates they think their servers can handle.  I'm sure handling everything manually makes more users a PITA to test with, but if you want to be stable when you go public, you probably really do need a bunch of small users unless you are going to have minimum hashrate requirements when you are public too.

I try to avoid having to many users right now but if I dont get more high hashrate users to fill the server I will keep you in mind.

Please send me PM following the OP instructions, and I will get back to you once required.

I can offer you my 750Mh if you are interested.

Will get to public stage hopefully sooner than later, all the BETA testers who actually have ongoing participation and dealt with us through the horrible->bad->better->Good->Great->Excellent stages of this pool will be compensated above the rates we plan to offer to the public.

There is still a few weeks to go till we get to that stage but in the meantime happy mining

Further to the boring comment -- loving the <1% rejects...

UPDATE :

We are looking for a couple more users(preferably high GH) so we can test the system further, recent updates dropped stales alot and stability looking good.

From now on I will only email users who were involved in atleast the previous payment cycle, if you decide to mine again and havnt mined in the previous payment cycle from the current date then let me know via email because you wont receive emails otherwise.

UPDATE :

Were having some issues at the datacentre for the past 12hrs so intermittent connection issues could be expected. Will be resolved asap.

Thats what I thought you meant, others might not reading the thread

Im sorry

I hope that was sarcasm though

Hi Fred0

That issue with com error is being looked at, what Ive noticed though the recovery rate is so fast that based on my estimates hashing time lost equals roughly 0.2% stale equivalent. This is definitely not how it should be but it is also not earth shattering for now.

I will be looking into it and keep you updated via email.

Received - thanks!

Im sending out the delayed payments now, sorry about the delay.

I would appreciate if everyone who have issues can first contact me via email(you know the address) since I can help you much faster via email than on the forum. If you really need to foam at me publicly then please do use the forum however its very unproductive way to deal with issues.

EDIT: Please check your emails, payments processed.

This shouldnt happen anymore at all, I will run a queue test during next couple of hours and look at it when I wake up. Should be easy to figure out with the info at that time, eitherway let me know if it clears up at all.

Please try update cgminer, I havnt had any reports like this from anyone else and in the past users would email/contact me over way smaller issues.

It happens continuously until I restart the miners.

EDIT - I updated to the newest cgminer and it starting happening again after roughly 45-60 minutes from when I started the miner.

Did you get it continously or just for a few minutes ?

Most days I try to make some changes that last no more than few minutes if that is the case. However if its lasting for longer than that and only corrects itself if you restart your miners it seems to be something else thats wrong.

Anyhow I need sleep now so I can fight with my ISP when I wake up and actually get to remote into my bitcoind box for payments, what a struggle.

I got this again, after restarting my miners it went away.
I will try updating to the most recent cgminer.

I would like to add that anybody joining a pool that is defined as BETA should expect problems
and be able to handle them meaning backup pool, resetting miners if needed etc.

Joining such a pool and then bad mouthing it is really stupid.

Seems you stopped mining just around the time I sorted out all the issues. Yes at one point last week it was terrible but most if not all the miners can confirm that things are good and stable now. Losing 2 days would never occur no matter what pool you mine at primarily which could also have issues, you need to start using backup pools for these scenarios.

The above issue of 5-10mins in the early mornings I specificly emailed users about to be aware of it occuring, it wasnt an ongoing problem and was the only 5-10min choke that occured for over 4days. I dont think thats all that shameless ?

Btw I have allready send out the BTC you earned for the short period that you mined, this was also confirmed to all users in the most recent payment made email. I still need to manually add the most recent payment to the payment history of worker accounts, all of this was explained in the most recent emails.

Please dont make false statements about me not being able to fix the reconnect problem, it has been fixed for a couple of days allready, as I noted EpicBacon's issue is unrelated to the overall server stability, do you see anyone else in recent times posting about this issue?

I do appreciate honest comments, good or bad, but mining during the worst period of the pool for a couple of hours and then passing outright judgement of past and future performance is extremely unfair.

Hi Clipse!

I joined your pool a week ago. But only mined some hours because the pool had a downtime and the miners did not reconnect. As I was not at home for two days I lost two days of mining.

As the website was down most of the time I couldnt see my stats. Today I logged in as the website was finally online. But I couldnt see that I mined anything. No stats found. Didn't expeced much as I was only testing if your pool is legit.

But sorry to say this is pratically a joke. As you have so much technical problems you should pay 200% instead of 115%. Mining at a stable and reliable pool with 100% and even fees will bring you much more in the end as you obivously can't fix the reconnect problem and have a downtime every two days.
