All services offline on December 2

We are moving more quickly than expected on improving our software, and we are ready for phase three of the four-phase mining server parallelism changes. Phase three involves upgrading the PostgreSQL database server to the latest version, 10.1, which has significant performance improvements with parallel queries, running index scans in parallel for the first time.

Because everything relies on the database, all services will be offline during the upgrade. We will need to restore the data into the new database installation and ensure that there are no bugs that went undetected on the development server. I expect that we will start sometime in the afternoon and the downtime will probably only last an hour or two.

If this upgrade finishes successfully, we now expect to open registrations and run a second instance of the mining server as early as December 10, much earlier than the previous estimate of early January.

Hello Steve. Do you have any plan about Monero mining and Zcash mining? Crytonight and Equihash algorithm.
