Release to occur in about 1h

by Steve Sokolowski · · Post #7728

We expect today's release to occur in about one hour.

There may be unexpected bugs at startup, especially in found blocks, since it is impossible to find difficult blocks in testing. However, we don't expect widespread disruption as has occurred with previous releases, downtime should be limited to about 1 minute, and Chris will credit shares if there is a problem.

New to the pool, still feeling things out, pleasantly pleased so far, love the dashboard for earnings. Can't wait to see progress daily. Would be nice if there was a chart/breakdown of what is being mined and the conversion (Chart/pie/graph) ... but perhaps that would reveal the house take too much? i don't mind paying the house, especially if they are making extra money for me by managing and coin swapping! Keep up the good work!

OK, I think I figured out what was wrong.

There were two separate issues. The first is that merge-mined coins where the sell price could not be obtained were causing null multiplication errors because that situation had never occurred in development. I fixed that, but there may be another hidden problem that comes up next.

The second is that the WAMP server, which limits connections from each IP address as a failsafe to avoid an errant bot taking up all the bandwidth, was also limiting internal network addresses, so none of the components could communicate with each other because their connections were rejected. Chris definitively confirmed that this issue is resolved.

Given that we just fixed these so late in the day, and how profitability is so high right now, we are going to wait until early in the morning to try again. That way, we will have more time to troubleshoot problems throughout the day tomorrow should any occur.
