So in a few words we are now getting shares normally when we point our miners to stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334 but we can't see our stats yet?
Correct. Shares are being counted and processed. The old stats just don't work with the new system fully. Pool hash rate should be roughly correct as I'm still passing shares to the old stats, but that's about it. The reward portions of the old stats are incorrect for sure.
Would it not of been better to get the infrastructure ready before turning off the old site?
Certainly, except the old site is incompatible with the new reward system, and the new site is taking a substantial amount of effort to complete. It wouldn't be fair to miners to continue to mine under the old system when the new system back end was mostly ready to go.
Without stats on the current pool it's hard to know what the hashrate of this pool is any more, and the opening post value looks incredibly out of date. Any chance of updating it to reflect the real hashrate? People have been asking me as moderator to edit it but I don't feel that's my responsibility.
I'll be closing this thread and starting a new one as soon as the new stats are online, so I don't think leaving it for archive purposes with whatever headers are there will matter.
On that note, since there's no escaping Murphy's Law at times, shortly after my big announcement for the pool I got shoved into completing some unrelated work on a short term contract that has been taking up some time that I had planned on dedicating to the Eligius upgrades. Had I known this I would have adjusted my completion time estimates accordingly. It was my intention to have, at the very least, usable stats online by this time. However I haven't been able to dedicate sufficient time towards making that happen and there is still a significant amount of work to complete before the new stats are publicly functional. I'm still hard at work on getting things completed, but I am significantly behind where I would have liked to be by this time. I am putting in extra work hours to compensate slightly for the lost time, and have worked all this weekend as well. But there aren't enough hours in a day it seems. Plus my wife will probably kill me if I spend so much more time at my desk every day for much longer.

Edit: Hmm... my kano ban script actually worked this time because I actually got an email notification about the thread update (I rarely get them these days). Completely forgot about it. Anyway, looks like it deleted a post about him complaining/trolling about the first post in the thread. To be clear, I'm not changing it until I open a new thread. End of discussion. --- Edit again: I had disabled the script just now, but then manually deleted a complete troll post from kano immediately after. *sigh* Don't you have anything better to do than to waste my time?
