Topic: Eligius: 0% Fee BTC, 105% PPS NMC, No registration, CPPSRB - page 216. (Read 1061449 times)
I'm just noticing that over the last 3 days, I've only made approximately 30% of my expected returns, and it seems to be just bad luck from this pool. That's some serious, sustained bad luck.
Just want to note that Eligius has been under constant DDoS attacks for well over a week now. Mitigation sometimes requires temporarily killing one or more public facing IPs and letting miners reconnect to others. As long as you're using the proper hostname, stratum.mining.eligius.st, then your miners should do all of this automatically.
What a ball-ache wk - how can you mitigate against this kind of anal attack... More servers is all I can think of... Keep up the good effort!
Eligius bases its stats on shares accepted by the pool, which can have variance.
Nothing pool side can cause your hardware to behave differently.

I've just control my miners. They work as usual but pool shows low hashrate
If your miners are showing a low pool-side hashrate, then that is because of your miners or network connection.

Okay, I see some wonkiness took place last night for a few others, but not many.
My stats were just a bit off (not an issue, could be latency), but there was a stat/issue that was troubling. My KnC (moved to the stadard port after FW update by WK's writ!) just dropped out of the pool. No failover. Hashrate dropped from 143 GH/s to ~800 MH/s. Tried to get it going, and no dice.
My BFL units still showed they were hashing, but the stats for that ~175 GH/s dropped out, too. All that was showing was ~70 GH/s from my TechnoBit miners.
This was at around 2 am CST, I want to say, but can't be exact, unfortunately. BFGminer showed that the BFL units were hashing again at Eligius, but stats still didn't reflect this. This was an hour ago when I tried again... or was able to try again. I'm sure it was hshing, as I saw a bit of buildup in shares, so it seems the hashrate stat was mainly affected.
I've mainly just stuck to the pool despite stats, but when a miner drops the pool and won't reconnect, I decided to switch. I've taken my small op to another pool for the next hours until I hear more feedback from the pool. If all is kosher again, I'll try to move the KnC. If it will connect to the pool, I'll be good. As mentioned, I don't worry about the stats as long as I can see shares being processed. That stopped for both my BFL units (using bfgminer) and the KnC (also bfgminer). maybe just a fluke on my end with the BFL units. I just had to rebuild my system, and it's buggy. Doesn't explain the KnC instance, nor why the TechnoBit units still showed in my stats. Just odd. I've read the rest of the thread from the days I was out of commission, and noticed all the posts regarding DDoS, but didn't think it would affect the pool, nor do I still think it necessarily would. I might attribute the oddness I saw in the stats page to that, but the rest is odd. I've witnessed the network drop before, where I couldn't access Eligius nor two failovers - switched to PPC for a few hours - but this was isolated to Eligius, as far as I could tell. I had forgotten my BTCguild account and made a new one last night and connected right away. I'm there for now (until I can build up a small payout, and then try Eligius again).
Anyone else notice anything remotely similar? Just trying to figure out what might be on my end, what's up with the KnC, and why the TechnoBits never fell. lol - No panicking, just curious if anyone noticed the same issues, and if they somehow resolved them. Hope to switch back later. Just upped my donation, but guess I wasn't quick enough. lol jk Again, some of this may be on my end. I've had a lot of issues getting the BFL units working properly after rebuilding y system, and my KnC has been wonky off-and-on for a few weeks. You know, the usual.

Is it just me or has this pool been insanely unlucky recently?
is all ok with stats ? Now i can't access to my miners and I see stats low on www eligius page
Try Ctrl+F5 in your browser.nothing to do.... low stats for me

You missed the

in my post....Sorry, it's 8 a.m. here and still no coffee in sight.
Carry on! Get some coffee stat!

It's nice to be back Eligius thread. It's as though I never left (that's meant both positively and wryly at the same time - some of you are very funny [see post directly above], and I enjoy the banter... the whining is always a downer, though).
Welcome back, so ummm do you know if NMC payments are working I haven't gotten any since 3/8/2014......
So, my mining tower that controls my rigs and was the heart of my tiny operation bit the dust a little over a week ago, shortly after TodaysGandalf conflated me using curse words in my posts with using them to 'prove' a point. Not going back to quote, but to get this out there: Curse words do no prove points. They act as a kind of discourse marker in many instances. Somewhere between punctuation and adjectives. They are special, and I fucking love them. They are more laborious, yet more effective than most emoticons, of which I'm not generally fond. 
I'm sorry to see that not much has changed in the way of problems plaguing the site (notice I don't say 'pool' - my KnC kept going the whole time, except with a hiccup that I assume is tied to the notice regarding outdated - or 'broken' - firmware... noted and updated). Nice to see that people still are not reading previous posts and repeating questions and information on the very page they post them. I'd be disappointed if too many users started to display a little gumption. Also glad to see that next to people wondering if the pool's down (guess failover is passe), the number one point of conflict is the stats page. I've noticed often in the past the graphs suffer, but the numbers regarding how much I have until next payout works. I think I would be fine just seeing my pool hashrate in current increments (maybe one or two less options), and what I'm earning. Sure, who doesn't love graphs? But, if they are a source of constant discussion of a negative kind, and a FREE service to which many users now feel entitled, I question the logic of attempting such robust metrics if those who might complain are not paying for a product they claim to either desperately want or need. Some mention that these stats help them keep track of their miners while away. That's not the provider's problem, though a consideration it should be. I'm not callous to the need. I install software on my PC and phone so I can monitor everything while I'm away and shut it all down if needed. If I think the house will burn up, I push a button, and the draw at the wall falls significantly. I can also check whether my miners are connected to the pool, or failover has taken place. Pretty convenient.
Why is it that all things BTC are a magnet for DDoS? Seriously. Why? Do the attackers really think the can ransom a few hundred bucks per day by causing some glitches in site use that be both overcome, and eventually, hopefully - with the right tools and resources (saw a user offering to help, as he does this often - good idea, but understand perhaps some hesitation to move any duties related tot he site beyond the two core members). Still, I don't quite get why BTC-related sites are such a magnet. I'm not online much (main computer is often offline, even), but I don't see this problem as often elsewhere. No one need take much time to explain it. The technical aspects will go over my head, though the philosophical ones likely won't. I'm more certain you have better things to do with your time.
