Hey eleuthria, I'm about to .gif all your webgame MMORPG styled characters.
Idea is to articulate trolled answers via animated gestures.



Did you save them all?  Last I checked, BitMonsters is unresolvable, took down that server a long time ago (for now).  Either way, would prefer to not have them turned into meme/troll gifs.  I do eventually plan to use those art assets for something.

Only the ones posted here earlier.

For whatever reason I woke this morning with an image of your avatar throwing up a rhetorical middle finger or just waving both hands in the air whenever BTCGuild owns the chain.

So far only your avatar was prep for animation.

Sounds like Anotherhost has a really, really bad connection.  There's really nothing I can see from the logs.  Your miner is working, the connection is just flakey as hell, and it isn't coming from this end.

I'd go with restart them all.  You might try replacing stratum.btcguild.com with the redirect URL directly (it's in your output above).  Can't really say for sure why you're seeing issues though, other than it isn't the pool's side having issues.

They're still hopping back and forth to the secondary pool

The above is after I restarted cgminer - I find sometimes there is a discrepancy between pool and cgminer (falsely high) stats that is fixed with a cgminer restart.

Any suggestions ?  Restart cgminer on the remaining 7 jupiters ?

Is there a connectivity problem in the past half hour ?

I have several units at Anotherhost, connected to both the EU and US servers and most of my Jupiters have jumped to their secondary pool.

No problems on the pool's side.

Might have been anotherhost's issue.  They have moved datacentre a few days back with 12 ! hours of downtime (and a few teething problems after that).

All my jupiters are showing about 400GH/s av now, so I assume they all switched pool and have switched back again

I use opendns, I hate my isp.  Sad

this is weird. I changed to google's dns and it worked then switched back to opendns again and still working.  Huh

I dunno but it's good now, thanks very much for your help.

I know CloudFlare is seeing some issues today for certain regions (not always their fault, there's been some high packet loss on major providers in the last 12 hours).  Some of the proxies are loading *extremely* slow, sometimes skipping stylesheet elements or images.  This is *not* the BTC Guild website, scripts, or backends having problems.  If your miners are running happily, your earnings will be fine.

This is just a PSA for the few users experiencing it (my personal connection is having a terrible time with the local Cloudflare proxy).  I hate having to rely on CloudFlare because it seems there's always a region in the world having some kind of issue since they proxy it among so many different servers rather than a single extremely high uptime datacenter.  However, there is a noticeable benefit from their service that outweighs the occasional inconveniences.

just tried with my phone, tmobile, and I can bring up the site and login ok.
not a great solution but still no go through my ISP.
 Huh


Do you use your ISP's DNS resolvers?  Try changing to better ones like Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or OpenDNS.  This wouldn't be the first time an ISP's DNS resolvers are giving bad/old IPs for Guild.

What error do you see when trying to load?  Is it an actual error page, or is it a generic browser error?

generic - mostly a blank page, chromium just timeouts and gives this message:

I'm getting blocked from www.btcguild.com. the miner seems to be connecting still but I can't get to the dashboard or graphs to check anything.

No problems here. Probably a problem at your closest CloudFlare server. Nothing I can do about that other than wait.  CloudFlare is only used for website access. The mining servers are completely separate.

thanks for the quick reply.
It's been blocked for ~11hrs so I'm having doubts if it will come back on it's own.
http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/btcguild.com.html shows it's working for others.
anything else I can try?


What error do you see when trying to load?  Is it an actual error page, or is it a generic browser error?
