Yes, it's still running.  Are you able to mine OK at other p2pools for scrypt coins?  Have you tried TreasureQuarry's Infinitecoin pool for example?

What are your mining settings?

Is this pool still operational? I've put some hash at it and it looks like shares are being accepted but no coins in my wallet.

It looks like you're running fine.  The "Stratum requested work restart" messages are simply telling you that your miner is switching to a new work unit.  This is normal to happen frequently and nothing to worry about (see just over halfway down the page at https://www.litecoinpool.org/help for an example of independent confirmation of this).  

It may take a while to find a share at your hashrate (about 10 or 11 days on average according to Coinwarz calculator).  Usually it's not a great idea to mine with a notebook or Laptop - apparently they can overheat.  Do you have a separate non-laptop computer with a good graphics card?  If so, you may want to try a gpu miner like bfgminer.  You can find  list of Scrypt mining programs, which work for Elephantcoin as well as Litecoin and other scrypt coins at https://litecoin.info/Mining_software.

The pool has moved to a new server in France, giving superfast ping times from Europe, and still good connection from the rest of the world too. 

Happy mining!

Yes, the pool is still working and winning blocks.  There's no maximum speed.

People still mine Elephant Coin? I made some good money on it when I was first GPU mining but I can't believe it's still around lol  Tongue
Oh yes, there are still some dedicated fans saving the Elephants. Never forget Elephantcoin, it still could be big!
I hold like 300 coins Cheesy

The pool has moved to a new server in New York tonight.  Please could miners briefly stop and restart your miner, which should then pick up the new dns settings and enable you to start mining on the new server.  I'll be keeping the old server running for a day or two to allow miners time to switch over.  P2Pool will still credit you for any shares you find on the old server until the old one is closed down in a few days time.

Happy mining, and keep saving those Elephants. Smiley

Sorry to hear about your frustrations, Planethill.

There is a bit of an issue with p2pool itself and coins which support transaction messaging. It's detailled at  https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool/issues/151  . 

Until or unless a fix is released the problem results in a wavering high reject rate for Elephantcoin on p2pool.  However, the pool is still finding lots of blocks for miners, so the only thing I can suggest is to compare your actual earnings over a period from TreasureQuarry with a standard (non-p2pool) Elephantcoin pool and go with what you feel you get the best results from. 

When comparing your results its best to compare over at least a good few days or week or thereabouts to get a good average.  Also look at the global Elephantcoin difficulty during the periods you're comparing - the higher the difficulty the less coins you'll naturally get anyway.

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this to work. 

I have a 1MH rig I have be using for weeks.  I get great stats at standard pools but with this p2pool it starts out OK, but the rejects gradually increase until after an hour or so it's 100% rejects.  CHwatcher then restarts the miner and the cycle repeats.  I have tried different difficulties, no difficulty (dynamic), different intensity, etc.  I am running Sapphire R9 270x's.  What else to try?

Sorry about the downtime.  The server company did a 15 minute upgrade to move the cloud server to better hardware, but it looks very much like they forced a shutdown of the cloud server rather than letting it shutdown gracefully.  As a result the Elephantcoin blockchain database became corrupted.  I've finally reloaded the blockchain now and the pool is back and running healthily again now.  In fact it looks like things may indeed be more healthy than before...I guess that better hardware is doing its trick. Give the pool a try and see what you think. Smiley

I've updated the pool a bit to make the minimum pseudo-share difficulty 0.00000582 .  This should reduce the spikes of DOAs that have been happening every now and then. Anyone choosing a lower pseudo-share difficulty will report 0.00000582 difficulty pseudo-shares.

TreasureQuarry has now been upgraded to the latest version of Elephantcoin (version 1.2).  It was a nice smooth and quick upgrade, and everything at the Quarry continues to mine away nicely with this new version. Smiley

Well, even trying to run the upgrade completely fresh from the git-cloned download with a brand new empty sharechain failed with lots of errors, so I've gone back to the old faithful version of p2pool that we were using prior to 18th August. 

The "Share difficulty" on the Stats page and the "Expected time to share" are now displaying correctly again....yay! Smiley

We'll stay with this old faithful version for now.

Thanks, guugll.  I'd be happy to share the Elephantcoin settings.  I think it's best that the pool is working perfectly first though...
 
At the moment, since I upgraded, the pool has been displaying the incorrect difficulty on the stats page though.  I'm thinking that somehow this may be related to the way I downloaded the new upgraded software from github to my pc then uploaded it  to my server.  I think I may have needed to git-clone directly on the server.

I've been trying to move the existing sharechain to a newly git-cloned version of the pool today (sorry for the temporary downtimes) but it doesn't seem to want to do this.  I think that to correct things I'll need to scrub the existing sharechain and start a new one.  Effectively this will restart the pool completely .  I'l do this on Monday.  That'll give anyone who is currently mining enough warning.

The pool has now been upgraded to the latest version of P2Pool.  Come try finding some elephants to test it out. Smiley
