Eligius pool announcements

The pool is back up, but balance stats will be inaccurate for some time, and shares might be lost during intermittant database corruption.

It is recommended to setup failover to another pool for the time being, as we may be making changes to avoid possible long-downtime in the future, and that has at least a risk of breaking stuff on and off.

Recent outages seem to be probable hardware failures. We expect to have a replacement server online tomorrow.


Posted in case site is down.

It's Monday here already and still haven't got the EU server payout. The arrangements should've been clearly outlined on the websie from the begining (before the EU server shut down) and then updated with any changes. I'm done mining with Eligius - it's a f*king joke with pretty graphs.

Seems he had a family emergency.  Also, while it was up the site listed a note to setup a backup miner & to expect downtime until they have fixed the problem.

Payout from the EU pool is visible now in my client (11 more blocks needed).
http://blockexplorer.com/b/134233

I didn't get any payout for my unpaid EU balance yet, and my address isn't showing up in that block.
If this block is indeed from EU, it seems that the pool was withholding more than 50BTC and is still withholding the remainder.

Edit: News:

[17:54] Am I right with the assumption, that after the the server is fixed and another block is found, the EU payouts will happen for real? (Yes, I know there's "Europe balances were paid off Friday morning." in the topic, but apparently this didn't happen.)

Due to database issues, the pool is going to be down for a few hours Sad Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'm still waiting my unpaid EU balance. The US one was received promptly when Luke-Jr said it would, but nothing yet for EU.

You can't see individual stats for each worker unless you give each its own address (which might cause you to get spammed with small transactions once they come over the threshold), but otherwise I think Artefact2 has built one of the most detailed stats pages of any pool.
if you do that you need to copy paste one address for each worker and when you want to checks stats will be a pain

It sounds like the EU payments are set up to be sent as transactions, like happened with the outstanding US balance.

Now that I think about it, it's possible that the payout was from the s3 pool, I'm not really sure.

You get pretty nifty stats (when they are working). Here's a screenshot I had for the hashrate graph for two miners on the somewhat cranky EU pool:

EU payout transaction was sent, but it likely won't appear in a block until Eligius finds a block.

The pool server is down currently.  I don't know what the ETA is for it it being resolved. 

Note, because the pool is down, the EU payout transaction is in limbo as Eligius can't find blocks.  So it will not get confirmed until the pool server is fixed and a block is found.

Hmm. Both pool and website down? At least it looks that way both from my end and from isup.me

are you servers protected against botnet account/mining?

By the way, how do you handle payouts of more than 50 BTC? I can imagine on the next block people will have stored up so much reward that it cannot fit in the "generate" part. Will there also be transfers for some people or will payouts be shifted to another block in a short round?

In the recent short blocks the pool seems to be keeping only 1 satoshi instead of the value of remaining shares –  I'm guessing it's set up to order the repayment of credits from small to large, so by paying the small amounts first it limits the number of payments that don't fit in generation and have to be sent by transaction.

For anyone considering starting up mining, I created a walkthrough video on youtube on how to install the bitcoin wallet, how to install a miner, configure it, and start mining on Eligius.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L9zO-VnLrY

I hope you enjoy!

Maybe the simplest way would be to mark the lines for the invalid block and the following round with the same color and add something like "included in ongoing round" in the last column to explain that the stats listed for the invalid block are carried over and still count.
