deader than 4 o’clock.

"he is dead , Jim" - Dr. McCoy

just checkin in to see if pool is misbehaving. Looks like you guts had some problems friday morning

guys

no guts no glory

...and no stratum

I placing the guts on a server that runs solid. I know that the brothers will get it right eventually I just don’t want to lose a bunch of revenue while the system continues to have instability

There’s the guts! wooohooo

Smart Guts

And yeah, that’s a good idea - move away for a while, and return when things are stable again

It also helps prevent system overloading for the people that do stay. A win win situation.

Agreed

Is that X11 or Scrypt hashrate?

2,5 ghz script

Uhum, definitely helps

how has it been running today?

Sure? Seems to be the same shi... as the last days, Servers is running just nice for some hours (after you fixed it this night) then server is getting slower, then mass of rejects icoming after the rise of rejects Server will be down within the next hour.... *cry*

I will monitor the situation and when the brothers give the all clear. I will be back.

they will have to make the system scalable. by switching to parallel processing. Then things should stabilize

but why does it ran just perfect for several hours with 500++ Users, i think there is bug in some code - perhaps you can figure out which threat generates so much work that shares cannot be processed like before - i only see the rejects but maybe the server admin sees the reason

musst be somethings with comes in, its not after a restart

*which

Only someone who has access to their system can debug this problem. It would help if they would post the processor usage on the website. Then we might be able to associate the problem to a cause.

I will send them a request for this.

ok, if i can do anything just let me know - thanks for your investigation

The cause might be too many users or too much hashrate. or a system process we can’t see from the site stats. It could be the database is filling up with log files. It could be a lot of things or combinations of things.

"It could be a lot of things or combinations of things," that stoped us from making easy money

Universal low

Is the pool dead for over 2 hours?

yes

If the X11 is causing so much trouble can’t it be separated to a different server or just shut down until it is fixed?

It is alive

That won’t make as big a difference as what we plan to do. We already know what the problem is and how to fix it; we just need to wait until the weekend when time is available.

yes our troubles seem to have started with the arrival of x11

Good to hear. Looking forward to running steady on PH again.

Can you share what the problem is?

yes i would like to know as well.

Do you mean prohashing is some kind of a hobby project?

I have faith in you Steve, I cannot imagine all of the effort you guys have put in to make it this far. Thank you!

Do you mean prohashing is some kind of a hobby project?

It would seem that at the very least it is not the top priority, which is a pity - Prohashing is a potential goldmine for anyone who would commit to it full time.

The numbers are relative. The current profitability isn’t going to hold for very long. It would take a quarter million dollars a year to convince me to give up a job that provides benefits and retirement plus long-term stability and protection from having to move to a big city to get another job if this would fail, especially in the current healthcare climate controlled by Republicans. Mining isn't that profitable owning only a third of the business, or at least not yet. Plus, Chris already works full-time.

@ Steve: I wouldn’t give up my security either until the pool proved itself. But I would bring in at least part time help to take care of as much of the time consuming admin work as possible so both of you guys can spend what time you do have available more productively.

Block NH access to WAMP data so their bots can’t react to profit spikes and part of the problem will go away.

80% of support tickets are duplicate issues generated by system errors. Fixing the issues eliminates the administrative work. Training someone would also take away time from fixing the errors.

Am out of arguments then, good luck with the weekend changes

Best idea ever

PH brings you 50k a month... (taxes and costs taken off already)

the pool is dead, again...

its easy, dont show live data, show past hour or last 2 or 3 hour

and maybe a captcha in front of it, that has to be solved every 30 minutes

pool is dead again, but already weekend so this might be one of the last occurrances before the fix

Hello, does not work live balance

IT never completely went for me 1/3 hash lost ..now it seems to be back

someone is ’babysitting’ me thinks

- I am giving 99,9% probability that this action will solve 99,999% of ongoing PH problems

I certainly hope so

Is there any chance this really happend chris?

Hey mick

It won’t be installed until later today

@ tp31989 - re: earnings from NH, it would be impossible to say what any kind of earnings expectation would be using PH with NH - that has been so unreliable for so long!

Ah i feel you

Friskie what do you mine with

Some days I would put about USD 300 worth of hashrate through and earn 50 or 60 bucks, and think - Great! If I scale this up a bit the earnings will be super!

Then next day troubles with the pool, or a change made NH not work well together with PH and I lost 30 or 40 USD that day

Using NH

I am a relative newcomer to cryptos and as long as renting remains profitable, I will stick with it a while and learn a bit more before investing in HW - need to be sure I know what I am doing and don’t buy something stupid

Ok guys, gotta run for a bit, will pop back in a while and check status . . Cheers!

Alright

how long does it take for payouts to happen? I’ve been waiting for 12 hours.

@ webshaun - the payments are being sent once per day and lately that’s been a bit variable - they always go out eventually though

well has the pool had it ’’tweak’ to fix the issues yet...curious?

not if that ridiculous "fix" with exponentially increasing diff is still in effect, anyone know if that disaster was switched back yet?

Any updates about BTC payout?

Our payouts got orphaned. Joke (I hope )
