Release coming on Wednesday

by Steve Sokolowski · · Post #6156

This is a heads up about a release that is coming on Wednesday, probably in the afternoon. There will be 10 minutes of mining downtime, but the website might be down a bit longer if we have problems during deployment. Here are the features in the release:
  • Dramatic improvement in mining server startup time from 15m to 30s, so that future restarts will result in less downtime
  • Reduction in memory usage to support 3% more miners
  • Reduced mining server CPU usage to support 2% more miners
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Fixes for broken charts on the charts page
  • Improvements to documentation and payout thresholds to reduce customer service inquiries
  • New f_all_balance_updates WAMP function to get initial miner balances
  • Addition of 64GB swap space to mining server to queue 4x as many shares in the case of a long-running database operation
  • WAMP API now includes timestamps to assist subscribers when database is behind
  • Implemented the WAMP API changes on the website to produce a live clock of how far behind the system is

My advice on the swap use SSD's in a raid-1, they will be fast enough (faster than a disk for sure) and since the extra swap load will put abnormal stress on them you are protected against a predictable wearing failure in a part.
