For the first time ever, my AntMiners are sitting here beeping, not because of a local networking issue, but because (I think) both Eligius and Slush's pools are having issues? Or there's something odd going on with all of my antminers. Using a U2 from my desktop, I can mine against Slush's pool but not Eligius, but from the Antminers, manually invoking cgminer from the command line gets me nowhere:
EDIT: I just added a multipool 3rd backup to my miners, and they are all starting to mine again as I apply the changes. I don't know what to make of this exactly, but I find it really odd.EDIT #2: Don't be stupid and test your backup pools before you need them! I had added new S1s, sold others, and the hostnames/worker names for the miners I'm using right now hadn't been added to Slush's Pool! I just added them, and it picked right up and started mining again. Darn, but that says something about Eligius' reliability! I've never had to test my failover until today!root@antMiner:~# ps | grep cgminer
