Pools "often do" pdiff, but it seems bdiff is what bitcoin actually does internally. Wouldn't that make bdiff the defacto standard? Since pdiff ends up slightly higher, there's no harm done. Anything hitting the pdiff target also meets the bdiff target. But isn't bdiff the true standard?

pdifficulty is not the standard.In any case, Eligius is completely stratum-spec-compliant here.

We're working on provisioning a new poolserver ASAP - wizkid057 has to be gone for a bit, so I'll probably be finishing it up.
On a side note, I created a bugfix for the poclbm (GUIMiner) bug with stratum, but m0mchil refuses to merge the fix.
If you prefer poclbm and/or stratum, you can post your complaint/encouragement here...

Your pool sends a fractional difficulty below 1 and you have the nerve to say that poclbm is broken?
poclbm doesn't send any shares meeting the difficulty set as it should per the stratum protocol, so yes, it is broken.

Any Updates for the Problems ?
May 02, 2013, 08:56:56 AM
I also am seeing a stat that has issues, under "Estimated Position in Payout Queue" ... Maintaining your 3 hour hashrate average, this will take at least another 13 hours and 33 minutes at current network difficulty of 10076292.88.
The hours keep increasing, even though I have maintained my current hashrate for almost 2 days now.

The same here. I'm working for the last missing 0.02 BTC to payout for three days with almost 400 MHash... usually this should be done in a single day.
Update: No progress, but suddenly "Error: Username xxxxxxxx not found in database".

I really like Eligius, but concerned that we have received no further word from Luke-Jr or WizKid. Their last post was 24+ hrs ago, and they didn't really have any useful info 
Do they care?
Unfortunately, I have no updates. I suspect our current server's host is at fault for at least some of these problems. Do they care?We have been working on setting up a new server - originally just for testing out upgrades, but if Hetzner is going to be failboat, we may just have to move entirely.
Edit: Part of the reason I suspect Hetzner is that in the process of trying to move the webserver, I am seeing a bottleneck limiting upload to like 20-30 kB/s to the new server. This is clearly way lower than we should be getting.
Thanks for the update.

My ISP is Time Warner, but I tried mining through the Tor hidden service for a while just to see if that helped or otherwise made a difference, and it did not. It has worked just fine when I've done this in the past.
May 01, 2013, 04:48:28 PM
There is something going on, I have been having connection issues as well:
https://i.imgur.com/CMQMeZ5.png
And same here, for several days. Pathetic really. Was very happy with things running smoothly and then WHAM. Server stats went offline for part of the day today, like the web server crashed. I am pretty sure Luke and Wiz are working on things but I'm also forced to switch pools for the time being. I haven't changed things on my end, and I'll even entertain the idea that something could be going on with routing of our traffic. Speaking of that, any of you people with the same problems happen to be running over VPN? I am not. https://i.imgur.com/CMQMeZ5.png
Oh, and I'm using CGminer 2.11.4, but we all know it's not a problem specific to our Miner app, so lets not point that finger anymore, ok? We can at least put our heads together and provide some useful info to help isolate the issue. My ISP is Comcast. Anyone else care to share yours?

Now that I'm finally not a noob on this forum I can post this: me too! I noticed the weird drop-off in hash rate and frequent errors begin very suddenly a couple of days ago. I switched to the stratum port and things were better, but not great. Now it appears that the stratum port is fine but that the getwork/getblocktemplate port is still doing something weird and broken.
I'm running bfgminer 3.0.1 on Ubuntu 12.04, for the record.

I have also been having problems the last 3 days.
I have a linux system with two NVIDIA cards, mining with two instances of rpcminer, each pointed at mining.eligius.st:8337. I haven't touched the configuration of these miners in several weeks. Just in the last days, each instance stops finding shares (at different times) until I restart them, yet each instance keeps its GPU busy. This happens a couple times a day for each instance of rpcminer. Would it be worthwhile to switch over to mining.eligi.us? Or has your new DNS become stable?
I also have a new system, with a Radeon 7950. The system is in flux as I have switched off between Windows 7 and Windows 8. Having limited time, mining hasn't been my top priority, but I did configure the default Eligius pull-down server option of guiminer (v2012-12-03). It worked well the first couple of days, giving a fairly consistent 400 MH/s. But over the last three days, it reports incessant, but intermittent "connection problems". Eventually, it stops mining until I Stop Mining/Start Mining. The default Eligius pull-down uses poclbm, pointed at mining.eligius.st:8337.
I'll try BFGminer for the 7950, but that wouldn't explain the similar problems with my Linux system. The only things common between the two systems are the networks and computers from my ISP to your pool. It seems likely you have changed something on your end. Perhaps your new DNS provider or your new DNS configuration?

Quite similar here: A:5612 R:296. Compared to my other miner on another pool: A:12211 R:42
(btw: already using the recommended 3.0.1 cgminer. I guess, it's really on the other end...)

Not sure how to get a log out of BFGMiner, but after running on Eligius 3334 overnight (at 260 MH/s) I get these stats:
A:1177
R:145
S:307
DW:718041
GW:532
LW:721826
GF:29
NB:50
Seems to me that Discarded Work is extremely high?!
