Gah hopefully it behaves now, had DNS server issues that kept on dying and eventually the cache would reset without me knowing the dns server died.
What a biatch.
Topic: [ Bonus PPS Pool - 130% PPS - OPEN ] - page 6. (Read 93964 times)
Server having some network problems so rejects will likely be higher than usual, I am looking into it.
EDIT: Still some problems, I think I located the issue, pool will be back up shortly.

INACTIVE ACCOUNTS:
If you are inactive for a payment cycle I will remove your account from the pool. You must contact me first before submitting shares to a inactive account else it will not be paid out. Its easy to figure out if you are inactive, if your payment history doesnt list a entry for the last payment cycle then you were inactive for that duration and should first contact me before mining again.
I need to be stricter about this from now on since alot of users seem to still come and go and this pool doesnt operate like that. I have kept a ton of users on the waiting list which could have been better utilised by adding them if I knew at the time you had no intention to continue mining.
I need to ensure that I am not under or overpopulated and having users signup and never/occasionally use the pool is not helping me balance things at all. I do understand that some users signup and for whatever reason decide not to stay around, I am fine with that. What I dont like is the users who cant seem to make up their mind wether they want to stay or leave and every other payment cycle they submit shares for a few days and vanish.
From now on I will enforce the following changes regarding inactive accounts:
- If inactive for duration of previous payment cycle your account will be deactivated/not payable from the new payment cycle onwards.
- If active and connected to the pool on and off during a payment cycle you will end up flagged as a hopper, there is really no excuse not to remain on the pool and if you dont wish to use us anymore then dont connect to us.
Last but not least:
- Users who set us as backup pool/leaking shares to us, you will not be paid those few satoshis that you keep submitting to us even though I have up till now paid you even though you dont folllow the rules, I dont know why you havnt properly removed us from your backup pool list.
Even though the vast majority of users follow the rules there is a couple of miners who simply make things more difficult than it should be. Again, if you dont want to mine at Bonuspool then please dont, I am not forcing anyone to mine here however I will take steps to force those away who doesnt care about the pool rules.

Finally cooling off a touch here, but I don't have my miners up till tomorrow, too much draw and I pop too many breakers when its over 100 outside and the air is running.
OK all back to normal now, took bit longer than I anticipated, had to monitor to see if its stable and picked up a few problems along the way.
Some of you ay have permanently disabled bonuspool since it went up/down multiple times over a short period, if that is the case you will likely have to restart your miners.

If some of mine our down its because of the 103 degree heat. My house is cookin..

Everyone will have 5-10mins drop from pool, be back up shortly. 
You guys need some better friends, or redefine what a friend is.
I do agree in part tho, involving friends or family in business can be complicated.
kind regards

Nah the friend is fine and his work aswell however he agreed to work with me on this project at the wrong time since only a few days later he had a huge banking contract redoing their backend along with a bunch of contractors.
The only problem since is that he kept saying he will have time available between X and Y but then allways busy with work, that just kept me behind and left me not looking for someone to replace him.
Anyhow, improvements to follow.

Ah, no worries then. I agree, bringing friends in to a business, even if it is for fun, complicates things.
Payment received, much thanks.
Is there any way that the stats for a user could be presented via a JSON-RPC api? I'd like to record my mining stats to plot averages and I'd rather not hit your webpage repeatedly and all the associated database hits that go with that.

Not possible atm, its much delayed along with a ton of other features however I can only state it will be available as soon as possible. I cant stress just how much this has been delayed due to mostly factors out of my control so far, lets just say the guy I hired to manage most of the non-networking/server stuff ie. webpage/stats etc. havnt done his part at all and kept me on a leash but I had enough so will be paying someone else to take over.
This is what happens when you get friends involved, allways a bad decision it seems.

I send out the first batch of payments solong, will update here within next 2hrs once I finish the next batch that will bring payments up to date.
Thanks for the heads up
Im preparing a few new installations of the VM OS's since I have been fudging about over the last couple of months and just want stuff to be clean from here on so until I get that done you may experience slightly higher stale rates however it should still be <1% as has been the case for over a week now.
OK cached stats updated and updater running.
I will do my best this week to get improvements moving forward even if I need to dish out BTC to pay a college of mine for couple of hours of after hours work.

The pool was breaking for a short while I fixed that, sorry about that. 
NOTICE:
In just over an hour from this post I will be starting the new payment cycle and at the same time deal with some small scaling problems. The pool may be down for up to an hour but as you all know I generally overestimate the proposed downtime.
EDIT: Webstats will be down while I process the old payment cycle, will update here as soon as new queued stats is updated along with running updater.
