There was an error in one of the warning messages last night, telling users that they had been automatically banned from Stratum for being suspected of running a botnet.  I was doing account clean-up, removing previously banned accounts.  As a result, I cleared out the array that held a list of accounts that should be receiving the warning whenever they log in, and it was activating on all users temporarily.

If you received a message about being banned from Stratum in the last 24-hours, do not worry.  Your account was not banned [your miners would be unable to connect if that was the case].


This message mostly appeared on pages where a warning message should appear, such as changing your wallet/email where it would notify you that an email has been sent to confirm the change.

A small patch has been applied to BTC Guild's bitcoin servers to reduce the latency when a new block is found on the network.  This should bring stale share rates down considerably, especially on Stratum servers where bitcoind latency is the primary cause of stale shares.

thats good to know, when using the eu-stratum I found I had a considerably higher stale ratio than my other mine on the normal stratum server

EU Stratum servers had a brief restart to get a performance fix in place.  The EU servers don't have quite the CPU power of the US servers, so hopefully this fix will reduce the stale rates and speed up reconnects.

For 2 days now I notice a significant decrease of 24 hour earnings. For me at 1.2 Gh/s it is almost 0.03 lower than before.

PPLNS stats show exactly that.  We had two really good days earlier this week, and now we've had about 30 hours of garbage (with a few shifts not so bad).

I'm connected to stratum.btcguild.com:3333.  I received idle worker notifications, and the dashboard is showing no shares submitted for about half an hour.  According to cgminer, I'm submitting shares at my usual rate.  Are  those shares still being counted?

I thought it was just me Smiley

same problem here.
i switched to backup pool.
the odd thing is that the dashboard showed like 4000 stales and last contact with the worker of 26 minutes but the worker was still sending work, and not more than 30 stales counted on the miner.

after about 20 minutes in the backup pool I switched back to btcguild and everything was back to normal.

what happened?
I can imagine that we just lost that half hour of mining right?

Same thing here. Restarted my miner, submitting shares but the web interface isn't showing activity.

2 of the 3 US Stratum servers had a brief outage due to datacenter connectivity.  Everything appears to be working normally again.  If you're still having problems, please let me know.

Hello,

the current PPS Rate (0.0000020670840046) is inclusive or exclusive of Fee?

That already has the fee taken.  The PPS Rate displayed on the site is the amount you will get paid for every valid share if you decide to mine on PPS.

Is there something wrong with the EU server in terms of making new connections?

Had to restart my miners and they are skipping to the US server (cgminer pool failover) and declare the EU pool as "dead"?

This started about 13 hours ago.

jumped from pps to pplns 9hr ago, so far i am nowhere near the pps rate from yesterday...bad luck?

However, you are correct that luck did move back to negative about 7 hours ago.  That's just how it works.  Yesterday we had almost 20 hours straight of 10-60% above PPS earnings.
story of my life Tongue

according to dustcoin i should be getting 0.0764 per 24hr, and im getting 0.04838384, thats just incredible...

now this wouldnt have anything to do with people accusing the pool of being too strong?

If you're looking at 24 hour earnings, your earnings will show *much* lower initially due to how PPLNS works.  For the first 10 shifts, your earnings are not "finalized" yet.  This means that you basically have 6 hours where your earnings are significantly lower.  This is offset by the fact that when you turn off your miners, you will still be getting paid for almost 6 hours of work as your last shifts continue to receive payments.

As a result of this time-delay function (which is the reason PPLNS is not hoppable), the 24-hour earnings statistic only includes earnings from roughly 30 hours ago to 6 hours ago (the most recent 24 hours worth of completed shifts).  However, you are correct that luck did move back to negative about 7 hours ago.  That's just how it works.  Yesterday we had almost 20 hours straight of 10-60% above PPS earnings.
