Hey eleuthria, thanks for the Hall of Fame 26th Row....I appreciate it.

You might want to check out the 'Blocks Found' portion, as when I was in top 25 of 'Blocks found', it read "2" (as I found 2 blocks), but now that I am below 25, using the 26th row, it shows "2.00 mh/s".
Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

Thanks again.

Whoops, fixed

. I haven't found any blocks since the last reset, so I didn't see the typo/copy paste error.

I would have thought that once the miner had the IP address of it's destination that it wouldn't do another query unless it got an error?

If that was true, the miner wouldn't follow DNS changes, e.g. for failing over to an alternative pool address while the original still resolves & works somewhat, even if only poorly. It's better if the miner doesn't make any assumptions since doing a DNS resolve is usually very fast and otherwise, if the shit hits the fan, it would probably do so harder if it blindly kept using a cached IP.

Also, see all the load balancing done by pool operators via DNS, unreliable as it may be.

All I can guess is some kind of routing issue. I'm connecting from California, and I've been testing out poclbm for NMC stale rates. The most my logs show are a single comm error that sometimes shows up a second before a longpoll, never has to do more than 1 retry.

Did one restart just to see if anything changes for the few people having issues.

I'm still getting allot of error's. But my hashrate and shares per minute are still good so I'm not really worried about it. I'm just reporting information.

The web site is very intermittent too.
Thanks for checking,
Sam

Sounds like you're having a routing issue, 100%. On my end (and I'm halfway across the country, so it's not a local test), I've yet to have errors and the website has been loading instantly. Nothing I can really do about that. Could be local on your end, could be your ISP, or could be a random router between you and the server acting up.

Well, I took my own advice and ran DNS Benchmark and found some better performing DNS servers and updated them in my firewall/gateway. Now I'm not getting the connection errors. I would have thought that once the miner had the IP address of it's destination that it wouldn't do another query unless it got an error?

Not sure if that was the problem or just a coincidence. But things are running more smoothly now.
Thanks,
Sam

thanks for doing that. I'm still seeing zero but will look into it later. I have 3 rigs all at different locations so it's gonna be a pain to trouble shoot !!

miner speeds are all zero Sad

I just switched back and I'm mining OK. But I'm still getting comm fails one second and resuming the the next second it is repeating this every two or three shares. I have also noticed, when I could get to the web site, that the overall pool hash rate has been fluctuating from 750 Ghs to 1 THs.

So something looks weird. But that's the great thing about CG Miner, the failover options.

Pool running fine all night based on my miners logs.

Something has been going on for me too. CGMiner had communications error's and I'm having allot of trouble getting to the web site.

Hall of Fame now has the 26th row for your personal rank if you do not rank in the top 25.

Sorry about that (~3 minutes of downtime). When moving over to the new PoolServerJ, there is one modification I forgot to copy, some anti-botnet code. I was monitoring the pool and noticed a significant increase in long polls over the last few days since the MM switched, but the speed increase was nowhere near proportional.

So the pool is back up, and stales should see a slight reduction now that we don't have ~40% of the longpoll connections being taken up by botnet miners (~15-20 GH/s and nearly half the LP connections, god I hate CPU botnets).

is there any way to see if i have found a block through BTC guild? i have been mining here since about last spring i think.

thanks for all the great updates over the past few months.

Yes, soon the Hall of Fame will include a 26th row for your rank & count on Speed/Blocks Found/Shares Submitted, assuming you're not in the Top 25. The blocks found counter has been reset quite a few times though, so just because it shows 0 doesn't mean you've never found one.
