i am getting lower hash rates in this pool

Triple merged mining is launched

Current merged mining address: [not set]
An error occurred: list index out of range

...when trying to set merged mining?
thats most likely because you're using IE11. theres a known bug with that

Do you have an ETA on PLX mining? Tossing up whether it's worth setting up a p2pool until it is. Cheers.
We'll probably have something up late tonight, no guarantees though, if we hit snags it could easily take longer.

Ohh, I forgot to mention, we're testing the patched version on our vardiff stratum if you wanna try it out its on port 3344
Just switched my 8MH/s over. Reject schema looks like it makes way more sense, and I haven't seen any uncatagorized/untracked rejects yet.The vardiff looks decent too - didn't start too low, climbing gradually/slowly, and I haven't observed any weird diff change rejects that are so common on poorly designed pools.
Rock on! And thank-you!
Edit: you still get untracked stratum shares when there is a VTC block change - would be nice to have these rejected with a proper message like "STALE-PrevHash". But that's not nearly as important.
Yup, thats still an issue, but relatively minor for sure. Just as a heads up, we're rolling back the new code temporarily, we've detected a potentially significant issue with it and will be doing more local testing before redeploying
EDIT: the upgrade is running on the main server atm, looks solid, seems to have improved efficiency noticably

Thanks for posting! We're 99% sure this is caused by the way we hacked merged mining together. The way it is currently, stratum is (improperly) requesting a work restart every time there is a change in getauxblock. We're already testing a more robust stratum server that doesn't force a work flush for merged networks. This change will probably go live sometime tonight if testing doesn't turn up many bugs
Awesome. It looks like SimpleVert might be around for a long time to come =). 1GH/s soon I think.That was what I presumed as well, that the rejects were related to MON block changes.

I am getting a lot of rejects that appear to be invalidly classified as such - I suspect this is a bug related to merge-mining.
Basically the server is requesting work restarts A LOT, and these do not coincide with VTC block changes. None of these work restarts occurred on a block change, and so the shares following them should NOT have been rejected. If these shares were high enough to be a block, they would not have been an orphan, so rejecting them is flatly incorrect. If a share is not a potential orphan block on the master chain (VTC), then it should always be a valid share (presuming it was computed correctly of course).
Please make fixing your stratum reject scheme a higher priority, and provide proper reject messages.

Realize that with merged mining work restarts will occur when either a MON block or VTC block change happens. This is configurable on our end, but is how we're doing it at the moment. I can look into this issue more for you soon, but we haven't heard reports from other people of problems like this, so I think this may be an isolated issue with your setup.
To my knowledge (although I'm certainly not an expert) we do return proper reject messages. You can take a look at the actual stale share reject code here. A dump of actual server communications when experiencing this issue, along with what port your connected to would go a long way towards tracking down any issues you're having.

FYI: if you use ppagent and set
it breaks the User Stats page (internal server error).
Code:
collectors": {
"status": {
"details": false
}
}
it breaks the User Stats page (internal server error).
Thanks for the report. It's definitely true that ppagent could use some TLC, so hopefully we can do a sprint in a week or two when all this merged mining commotion is under control.

Yea, totally possible. Its not a big priority for us atm, we're working on adding merged mining w/ PLX - I'll add an issue for it though
Keeping an eagle eye on the thread, can't wait to get into PLX.
You guys sure earn your donations. How do the 0%ers sleep at night

Awesome. With merged-mined PLX and a fix for prevhash-stale rejects, this will be a seriously kick ass pool. May 06, 2014, 11:34:10 PM

Is it possible to return a reject reason (e.g. Stale - previous job) for stale work, instead of bouncing them as untracked? It is rather annoying not getting per-device reject rates. Yes, this means you have to track old jobs for a period instead of clearing everytime a work flush occurs, but it makes the stratum communication a lot cleaner.
