Topic: Eligius: 0% Fee BTC, 105% PPS NMC, No registration, CPPSRB - page 211. (Read 1061449 times)

The route to stratum.mining.eligius.st which resolves to 54.225.179.121 or 107.20.237.226 or 54.243.41.185 depending which are all on the Amazon cloud are broken here for me and optimum online.

It's similar on cable. Now this *IS NOT* an Eligius issue it's a routing issue with the Amazon cloud. But @ the end of the day does it matter if I can't connect?

I am guessing that it's something with the peering here in the NYC data center but I can't be sure.

This is the first pool in my btc mining experience, and it hasn't been very positive.  As of right now I've been waiting 5 days for a payout. 

Well, I did read this, however, the stats just look as if I were a big boy now. So I enjoy the impression as if I had a high hash rate as long as it is there :-)

Debatable.  Pimping is out to make money too.


Point made.


A local node doesn't affect variance. 


Haven't lost connectivity here in a long time.  Just webserver issues.

Getting very OT here but:

GHash is evil. <-- Why do you say that? It's a business, they are out to make money, is that evil?

EMC doesn't pay transaction fees, and no merged <-- Does not pay fees and no merged, but as I said you do get paid when you click the button. Till I get my NMC which is now 30 days out Eligius is not merged either .  However, because of DGM when my entire network ate itself I still was earning with EMC while I fixed a BGP issue.

p2pool has horrendous variance <-- True, but you know that going in. And you can run your own node. (I do)

Still can't connect on cable and now the traceroute from my network is all kinds of funky getting to stratum.mining.eligius.st / 54.225.179.121 but since it's on AWS I don't think it's on their end. I am peered to Amazon through NYIIX so it might be that. Off to work to play with some routes.

-Dave

I've been running my 180GH/s on p2pool lately and it's not that bad. Yes the average block time is 1-1.5 days, but I'm okay with that myself.

GHash is evil.  IIRC, EMC doesn't pay transaction fees, and no merged.  p2pool has horrendous variance.  Pick your poison.

Remember this pool has been under constant DDOS assaults for over 2 weeks now.

They were putting in 0.5% AFAIK but not sure. I am at 0.3% (I'm cheap and broke)
Other pools are also free (GHash [with a lot of merged mining that works]/ EMC[no merged but the handy push here to instantly get your BTC button])

As of now (10:00 AM EST) one of my miners can't even find Eligius (it's on cable) the other 2 on my office network can.

 As I said before I like this pool, I want it to succeed. But till the issues get fixed I don't see that happening.

-Dave

The pool isn't perfect.  Considering it's free, I think it's doing very well.  How many people are contributing?  I'm putting in 1%.

M

And what if I did have a need for my BTC0.5 that has been stuck there for 12+ hours?

I don't (and I don't leave that much in there anyway) but that's not the point. I LIKE the pool, I LIKE Luke and WK, they seem like good people. But over the last 6 weeks this has happened way to many times. I know 2 people with a combined 1.8 TH who left the pool because of this.  Difficulty is up and the pool hashrate is dropping because of things like this.

-Dave

I see about 2 times what I should be seeing too. So don't worry too much. And if you read notice you will see:

What worries me is that I'm running only five ants on Eligius. Normally, they get together around one TH/s. Right now, they show me 1.89 TH/s which is either an error or they are soon exploding. Unfortunately, they run in the office and I've got no way to check them at the moment :-)

Failsafe mode again?

CPPSRB is catching up.

Will fix and work on a manual catch up soon

Failsafe mode is a "state" of the payment system. It reaches this state when something awry happens like an orphaned block. It is perfectly normal as the system is designed to do this.

Keep calm and mine on.

The system is having a problem.
Things are not normal.
Yes it matters.

Does it really matter?  Do you have a purchase being held up for lack of BTC?  Given the current market price, which I believe is a little depressed, I'd wait for some recovery before spending any, anyway.

I'm fine with the occasional delays, I don't have a hole burning in my digital pocket...

Also having all of these coins on the pool server could cause bugs or memory usage and other issues. If just one of these coins crashes and important server a lot more bitcoin  can be lost then the alt coin could give in the year. The only coin really worth doing is namecoin.

Failsafe mode again....


I guess I won't be getting my payout today after all.
