Topic: Mining pool - help needed (Read 2500 times)

If there are  80K opened connections that will explain the "A connection with the server could not be established" error ... (which is mainly generated by timeout, no route to server or the inability of the server to create new sockets for you.)
If there are 80K connections for 70Gh i suspect that your primary user is a botnet! A botnet will consume MORE (in terms of hardware) that they will produce (GH). BTGuild, for example, get 2.500 GH with 8K miners (that means something like 10K opened connections).
If you don't wanna feed a botnet i suggest:

• drop non LP connection after 5 sec.
• set LP connection to do something after 10 min.(drop or respond ... read the LP documentation)
• limit the number of LP connections

Ciao

While mining pool is open and working idk, ~ from 50k - 80k+. These days when mining pool is closed about 0 connections and still get 99% CPU use (checked with atop), on what? :S

All the best,
Alisa

How many miners/connections did you had in that moment?

Can someone explain me wth is pushpool using 96% of CPU and almost all memory if there is 0 GH/s on pushpool for last two days? I redirected traffic to other pool and server is still overloaded with 0 traffic and 0 GH/s :/

My partner set that already

All suggestions are welcomed =D

I don't know the details about pushpoold - I wrote my own pool backend.

But it might be worth checking whether you are running out of file descriptors. If you didn't raise the max number of FDs for the pushpoold process then you probably should anyway, even if that's not the problem you are having now.

Hi,

I am setting up my private mining server so I don't depend on public mining services. I tried Deepbit but was DDoSed so I switched to BTC Guild and then he got DDoSed so now I decided to build my own mining pool.

#1 What would be server requirements to setup mining pool that could handle for start 100 GH/s - 300 GH/s, and what would be server requirements for running it up to 1 TH/s?

My old VPS specifications are

My current server specifications are
I am currently using push pool 0.5.1. but it breaks at 70 GH/s+. I am not sure is that because of too many connections or what... On old VPS it was also breaking at 70GH/s+

When pool hits 70GH/s server doesn't shut down or get restarted. Almost nothing happens on server side, apache works, MySQL works, but no new work is accepted. Then slowly if I keep it that way pushpool would crash totally and processor use would jump up to 97%. I need to stop the pushpool from SSH and start it again and then all works normally till it hits 70 GH/s...

When pushpool hit 70 GH/s I run miner from my computer and I got this error


#2 Is there any hosting company you ppl recommend?
#3 What does cause most stress to server when doing pool mining?
#4 Do you guys have any tips for setting up a pool mine (what problems do usually occur)?
#5 What is currently best miner for CPU mining?
#6 What is currently best miner for GPU mining?
#7 Why is SDK needed for GPU mining?
#8 Does Ufasoft miner need SDK for working with GPUs?
#9 Does Ufasoft miner automaticly use GPU mining if SDK are installed and there is GPU avaiable?
#10 How does Ufasoft miner work actually with GPU mining?
#11 Why doesn't push pool use all cores? It uses only one on my dedi. How to set it to use all cores?

I am willing to pay 10 - 20 BTC for ppl that can fix me my issue and stabilize my mining pool.
