Looks like it's back up...

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!

Hmmm no wonder I've had NO luck getting my rigs going again tonight. Looks like I need to find a backup pool... I've only ever mined on Eligius so I don't have a clue where to go for a backup..

FYI

Starting Nmap 6.25 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-06-03 01:46 CDT

Thanks for checking Luke.  My 5 Antminer S1's had 3 showing dead and 2 showing alive.

I have one S1 AntMiner still connected to Eligius and it is still hashing away.  Twenty-six other S1's, some blades, and the few BFL miners I have left are on their backup pool, all showing Eligius as dead.  

OK.  One more S1 just switched back to Eligius.  So far, all of the miners that I checked show Eligius pool as dead, except for two of them now.

Looks like PostgreSQL has failed.
I don't seem to have access to fix it, so it will have to wait for wizkid057 to get up...
(no answer on his cellphone)

No connection to Eligius from the UK and the US. Ideas, anyone?

Yep, mine too. Miners have moved to my backup pool. The status is reported as 'dead'.

P.S. it happened about 50mins ago.

Same here.  Slowly, all of my miners are switching over to fail-over pools.  Hmmmm, down to one miner on eligius now.  Thirty-six of my miners have switched.

is eligius pool down or some problem..?? ddos..

all my miner are having connection problems

Thanks WK, for the manual payout and the NMC.

Fired you off a small donation for some brewskis tx 709d2d7e6a57ca7c0e5a1a7c9b84ce98a0542eae629b570edcd06f3b5f902f10

o rly? Well, you're welcome to send some back.

Edit: Forgot address! MxEzuzkQVMMWqoyKwiTefc5J3tzzQvNSpE

wow - I just found a big deposit of NMC in my wallet - more than i imagined possible

Thanks! 

OK, just paid out the balance of the underpaid NMC to everyone who was shorted.

Also, everyone got a 5%-ish bonus on NMC payouts for shares submitted between 2014-03-08 and 2014-05-30, for a total of 110% PPS NMC.

Back to daily 105% PPS NMC payouts now, starting tomorrow.

Happy mining!

-wk

Note:  There is now a minimum payout on NMC of 0.1 NMC.

No, not yet, but WK said he'll try to do something about that.


As far as I know, as long as you do not put in an NMC address, you do not earn any NMC, the pool keeps them. That's how it can afford to do 105% PPS for NMC, by splitting the earnings of all the miners who do not claim it.

Is there any way to see own NMC balance?
I've not yet confirmed my NMC address.

hmm haven't gotten a bitcoin payment for 5 days, seems something else is broken , but did get namecoins.. yay!
