I don’t know. Chris will investigate and get back to you in a few hours. Sorry about this.

Chris paid Litecoin payments at noon yesterday. There is a post in the "support and feedback" forum explaining the problem.

each day to write in support payments?

I apologize, but I’m not sure what you mean here. If you’re saying that you haven’t received a payout today yet, that might be true, as we only guarantee payouts to occur the next day, not at a specific time that day. The time at which payouts occur during the day is dependent upon the speed at which exchanges process withdrawals. If that's not what you meant, let me know and I'll try to help.

today there is no payment again

the site is down

Thanks for the info. Just the website went offline; the mining server was fine. I restarted the web server. Apparently there were too many concurrent users and it couldn’t get enough database connections, so I added more connections. Our web server isn’t near overloaded, but we needed to set some sort of connection limit because we don’t know how much it can handle.

What is the deal with CarpeDiemCoin?

Why so many people mining it?

There is a huge discrepency between prices at different exchanges - almost $50. We only paid a few dollars to buy it at the cheapest exchange, but the people who selected to earn it can now sell at the other exchange, which is why it’s listed as being so valuable.

oh wow ok thanks Steve that really had me baffled

Just a idea like to see what others think.. It would be nice to put the tweet updates on the earnings page instead of settings page.. And move the Notification events to the settings page.. What do you think?

I’ve talked with Steve in the past about the tweets, and we agreed that we want them on both the charts and earnings pages. The earnings page gets more hits than the charts page, so it would improve visibility of pool-wide announcements. I just haven’t gotten around to making the website change. What’s your reasoning for putting notification events on the settings page? The earnings page is designed to be a miner’s dashboard, and you should only need to go to the settings page if you want to change something. Having a view-only item like the notification events would violate this concept, but if there's a good reason I'm willing to consider the change.

Sounds good I agree earnings page is better for tweet updates I think your right after thinking about it notifications are better on earnings. But is there a way we can re-set the notifications maybe or have the option to turn it off? I have a bunch that I would like to be able to clear that are old. Thanks

I will look into resetting notifications. I didn’t realize it could be a problem.

Hi Chris Not a Priority.. Just would be a nice option to be able to collapse the window or turn them off

Like it shows me 10 notifications about my hash rate but they are from last May and no way to clear them

this is EXTREMELY aggrevating

trying to change my bitcoin address WHEN i hit save a big red bitchbox appears saying a fatal exception has occured and it won’t update

it won’t let me change and save any coin addresses

Looking into this right now

This is an issue of the Bitcoin daemon being very slow to respond. We validate every wallet address before we save it to the site, and if the validation times out, you get that error. I will look into trying to handle the error more cleanly on the website. In the long term, we are aware that the server hosting some of our payout coins (including Bitcoin) is very slow, and we are going to upgrade it in a few weeks.

You do run a great pool and you offer a great service Chris

Chris

if we were to post coin addresses here or email them to you with our account info can you change them from your end?

I can do it for you - send me your username and addresses to chris@prohashing.com

sent

well looks like prohashing is a bust, it isn’t converting my coins to my payout currency and sending it to my btc address.

Thanks for the report. Chris will look into this. Is your username on the site the same as on the forums?

yes it converts it but doesn’t update the bitcoin amount according to market price, and it doesn’t pay out even tho I have the payout currency set to btc and the address up to date

I’m surprised at the level of care you 2 take on your pool, most admins set the pool up and never visit it again lol

john1175 is my username so yes it’s the same

judging by the amount of owed btc I’m getting the impression others are having the issue aswell

I was wondering why the forfeit button is not active on bitcoin? Was going to forfeit 2 cents but button greyed out

CritterDog wrote: I was wondering why the forfeit button is not active on bitcoin? Was going to forfeit 2 cents but button greyed out

Bitcoin is the "coin of last resort" that we pay people in if all their payout coins are offline, and forfeiture removes a payout address. However, I will add the suggestion of being able to forfeit without deleting a payout address to the buglist - thanks for the suggestion!

Strange ever since I upgraded to Mac OS Sierra 10.12 my browser is having trouble loading your web page. loads part but not the miners and earnings. I was using Opera switched to safari worked but today safari problems..Tried chrome same prob

The database upgrade has been scheduled to begin at 3pm on October 17. All services will be offline for 12 hours.

I will be back when you get the site working

Hi, is Chris or Steve around?

I am now

hey

It looks like there’s an Argentum miner who didnt upgrade to 2.4

hi, got a few minutes until dinner - need help?

I’ve released 2.4.1 which will disconnect obsolete peers

could yopu please upgrade asap

Hopefully once you guys upgrade everything will be fine

ok

I appreciate it

when Chris gets home, he will get on it

it should be done within two hours

thanks for pointing that out

No problem. I caught it pretty quickly last night, but it takes a bit to get everyone to upgrade since people have lives

what is argentum trading for in btc?

steady between 200-300 satoshi

I’m compiling Argentum right now. I’ll let you know when its online. Should be a few minutes.

looks like the error is goine

gone

we’ll see if any sequence of > 3 sticks

Okay - up to date - Argentum is now on version 2040100

thanks

any chance I could get your logs for Argentum?

how old would you need?

I just checked and the log is only for the past 3 hours

anything lol

give me a few minutes - will send you a PM

looks like I had some blocks relayed by 144.76.71.141 that "reorganized" the blockchain

it’s a 2.4 clients, so i’ts probably relaying something from an incompatible miner

*client

sent the log

check your PM

thanks

hi

Update us when BTC payments for yesterday are sent?

excelerator wrote: Update us when BTC payments for yesterday are sent?

These payments are delayed for a little while because Chris is turning our Bitcoin node into a pruned node to cut costs and save disk space. It shouldn’t be long before the node is back online.

good)

Chris, I can’t reply to your PM so I’ll ask here

can I get another Argentum log

from today/now

trying to see what the hangup is at 2,036,934

it’s been days and days and days, the pool hasn’t converted my coins to my payout coin, bitcoin and it hasn’t paid out, I won’t be wasting anymore juice on this pool until my 0.02 worth of coin is paid out.

they don’t pay, argentum, period, I’ve been waiting for days, I’ll likely get some excuse like I don’t have enough coins or something to that effect. and there’s no manual withdraw button.

I encourage you to take a look at the documentation about the payout timing when you have a minute. Chris will contact you by private message when he wakes up to fix this specific bug or to resolve the misunderstanding.

it says each day at 12 AM, it’s been more than a week..

Looks like the database upgrade started about 2:00pm PDT as the site is now down

Everything failed over nicely so see you in 12 hours!

argentum, what is the btc value of your coin?

Chris sorry if I sounded insulting, it’s just the mining pool payouts is how I was renting miners to mine the pool
