eu-stratum proxy is down

trying to connect...
stratum.custom_exception.TransportException: .... connection timed out

Seems like it was really down, got ~45 minutes downtime on my BitFury ASIC. First time I got hurt by the missing backup pool support in chainminer.

I've recently completely cleaned out the BTC Guild email inbox due to the amount of garbage clogging it up.  If you have an oustanding request to me that I did not reply to, please resend it.  I tried to make sure I responded to everything during the cleanup.  Going forward I should be able to reliably answer all the incoming emails promptly without any slipping past me due to the flood I get every morning when I first wake up.  I've made quite a few changes to that workflow since it was definitely lagging behind in the quality of service for emails that come in while I'm asleep.

Poor impulse control.

It's the 100 Terahash mine, that's who it is.

It's hopeless.
Nothing hopeless if you keep trying.  Cool

I wish I could meet whomever is hashing away at what is now 45,764.12 GH/s... Makes me wonder if its a company testing miners? Because that number jumped over 10,000 GH/s in the last 2 days.

With that much power couldn't you just solo mine?

You can, yes.  But if they had been solo mining they would've made ~30% less than what they've made with BTC Guild so far [assuming their luck would've been the same as what they've had with Guild so far].   This morning they were at ~110m submitted shares per solved block.  Looks like they're a little closer to 100m now, but still quite unlucky.  I'm comparing this to neutral luck, because BTC Guild has been *roughly* neutral (+/- 2%) for the last 3 weeks.

Obviously these numbers could be completely different solo mining (since the data being hashed wouldn't have been the same), but it's a good idea of just how much variance even a 45 TH/s miner has.  They're only ~6% of the overall network.

And what do you know, inventory showed up without the pre-notice from DHL.  Working to get the entire backlog filled before pickup today.  New coupons will be available after today's pickup.

USB Block Erupters are currently sold out.  A large order for new inventory was placed early this week which I'm hoping will arrive today (but I don't have a tracking #).

This morning I found all workers using the stratum proxy stopped mining!  Anything using bfgminer and cgminer were fine.

This isn't just at my home but at other locations, too.  Did something happen server side?

Edit: I found that I had 0 Shares for 2 rounds so maybe all were effected after all.

I'm running a Bitfury miner with a stratum proxy (on the EU pool), and there haven't been any interruptions.

Same here on the US pool.  No interruptions seen.

Ive been actually wondering about that. What is the warrenty(or is there one) on the erupters. And I do remember on who I have gotten them from but I don't remember on what piticular ones i've gotten from who. So how does that work for extange IF there is a warrenty?

There's a limited warranty, and you are supposed to contact the reseller.  Resellers are provided with replacement units in advance from ASICMINER in order to facilitate returns of dead units.  ASICMINER claims 6 months for the warranty, but that will probably expire once they release the next gen chips and stop producing old ones.  BTC Guild is pretty painless for returns.

well ive only gotten 1 from you i guess the others im screwed..  Undecided
You already where when you bought any of them Smiley
not really. i paid cash for them sooo im making back my money. now if with bitcoin then i would be screwed with out lube...

eleuthria,

I never got a response from you about bad Erupter exchange. I did send an email to [email protected] and PM here several days ago - was is marked as junk by spam filters?

Thank you



Hi kslavik,
  Looks like your email got buried among the flood of false alarm emails from the database migration.  I've sent a reply just now.
