We have hit ~10 Ghash/s and we found 3 blocks today! WOOT!
Here's some stats about how well the server is handling all this work.
- The server is running directly on hardware dedicated to this pool. It is not running on a VPS on a over loaded server like some other pools.
- At about 10 Ghash/s, it's only using ~ 14KBytes/s of bandwidth. We can handle 51,200KB/s, or ~3,600 Ghash/s at this ratio.
- CPU usage is anywhere between 100-200% (Quad-core can handle 400% at max capacity).
- Memory is using about 6.5GB out of 12GB.
- We have a 1TB drive, and it's nowhere close to being full.
All and all, I would say that the server is doing very well and can handle more traffic, so tell your friends about us. We're ready to take all the traffic and users we can get. Remember, we're the only pool
not charging fees, we're running on dedicated hardware, and have a direct fiber connection to the internet which gives us an extremely low latency and high bandwidth.
I would like to say
THANK YOU to all the miners on our pool that are using our modified miner. Because of you, the load and resources used are substantially lower than what they would be if you used a different miner. Thank you, thank you very much.
