BUMP for current promotion. thanks.

THE NEXT 20 BLOCK FINDERS GET A 2 LTC BONUS STARTING 6/18/2013 AT 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME

While doing some disk access testing I had a test program hang using a lot of I/O.
I could not kill the process so I rebooted.

During the reboot I modified my /etc/fstab file to optimize my ext4 filesystem.

The downtime was several minutes and the pool is back up.

I apologize for the downtime but my I/O is now not being chewed up by the overly conservative settings on my ext4 filesystem.

Bump! Come join. Pool is running smoothly.

I am going to restart stratum fast. Downtime should be 2-3 seconds.
I need to get the final code patch change submitted by "pooler" to the code I am using.
See here:

https://github.com/viperaus/stratum-mining/pull/4

I am going to do the restart any minute now.


----------

restart completed. restart went well.

Pool had a problem with mysql which needed a restart. This caused other daemons to get high load which also needed a restart.
Short story: pool had a problem for 10 minutes.

Things are looking better. Checking each of my miners now.

bumpity bump. this is a stable pool, fair payouts (lastNshares=500,000), and looking for new miners.

Always looking for new miners!

I know.. I know.. but the pool is still new so finding a block is still fun for me.

I found one for the team!

The pool is growing nicely but always looking for new miners!

My friend and I went 3 weeks just by ourselves. We hoped to find a block before announcing the pool.
In the end I had to offer 20 LTC to the first block finder.

Running a pool now days is not a get rich quick scheme. It actually costs money.

I simply hope that my pool is stable, has fair payouts, and good to average luck. If it has that it should do well.

Best of luck with your pool man.  I can't get anyone to join my pool to save my life, even with extra payouts.

And, sadly, we had our first orphan block.

    {
        "account" : "",
        "category" : "orphan",
        "amount" : 51.00000000,
        "confirmations" : 0,
        "txid" : "3aab46979c585451936549b7d1cedefee668f33694d91f8ff293877b5b3b0080",
        "time" : 1369977194
    }

So that was unlucky. Lets see what happens over the next 12 hours.

fyi to others, sathackr msg'd me. He went off for a bit to chase down some other alt coin for a bit more profit. He said he would be back.
I am going to try to get other users to come on board and it would be great if others can try to do that also.

I will come up with a plan to attempt this. As you can guess it means spending LTC to do it ;-)

stratum-mining bug has been patched and now restarted.
see this thread: https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,4002.0.html

my file looks like this now:

    def diff_to_target(self, difficulty):
        '''Converts difficulty to target'''
        #diff1 = 0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff0000
        diff1 = 0x0000ffff00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
        return diff1 / difficulty

you might have seen a 1-3 second interruption. hopefully all miners continued mining happily.

and we found a block a bit ago!

Results of block 361045 estimate for payout and the winners of 2 LTC.
Cookiemonster
Lxx1
glongsword

2 LTC has been credited to each winner's account. It will not show up in your transaction list as I credited
it directly to your balance.

If someone sees a problem please report it.

I am using a share submission value of 63. What were you mining with? How far away are you from the USA?
I would like to figure out why your rejected rate was so high? Are you using --scrypt in your cgminer config?

One of my miners running cgminer show this as stats:

Accepted: 58077 Rejected: 584

That is 0.01% rejected/stale shares connected to the stratum port.

i'm in to help you guys find that 8th block

Bah,
The rejected rate seemed to be a bit high for me
Went mining BTC

I am going to try something a bit different when it comes to a special reward for finding a block.
When the next block is found I will randomly pick 3 users to get 2 LTC each. The user has to be getting
actively paid for the block reward. So that means people who have left the pool are not qualified to get it
unless their shares are still actively being paid.

So I will do an estimate of what people are going to get paid to give me a list of users and their ID values.
I will use the ID value range in my command below. Fcmatt and 4g4g are not included in the prizes.

I will then, at a unix shell, run this command:

#echo $((RANDOM%100+1))
7
#echo $((RANDOM%100+1))
81

That gives me a number between 1 and 100 as an example.

As I run the command I will see if it matches up to a user. If so I credit their account 2 LTC. I then repeat this
until I have paid 3 users.

I feel that this allows users with lesser amounts of hashing power to get something extra for mining with me if they win.
Good luck to all.
