I'm admittedly new to Eligius, having come from Slush and I'm hoping someone can educate me a little, I seem to have had a period of about half a day where I've been hashing fine but my balance of has not increased and is as low as if I'd not been hashing at all, I've attached pics of the relevant portions below. I've not registered any particularly high amount of rejects that I've noticed, but it did coincide with the CPPSRB failsafe mode trips, is there any connection? Is this normal occasional behaviour? (Am I just being stupid?) I'm not really concerned, more curious.
You're not being stupid, it's a valid question. I'd keep track of it to be safe, but it will probably catch up as the database catches up. Generally when the thing goes in failsafe mode, the stats are hosed. Some work, some don't, none are accurate. A few minutes to a few hours after the warning goes away, everything seems to be square again. Basically, as long as you're getting accepted shares, the pool and payout are working correctly. When it gets way behind, like it is now, Wizkid does a manual payout at some point. Usually not a long wait, either.
I've never mined slush. I've heard good and bad about them, but not enough good to switch. I'm relatively new to mining, and had problems with several pools I tried. Two worked as advertised. BTCguild and Eligius. I like Wizkid and Eligius better, and I like that I can set my fee. (I'm not a mooch, so I DO donate).
In both instances, when there's a real problem the operators are right on it. The stats page getting hosed is more of an annoyance than a real problem in my arrogant opinion.
Welcome aboard.
