Good morning!
- Constance released some significant performance improvements to the website yesterday. Be sure to take a look! A few charts experienced regressions, and she expects to have those resolved by tonight. We spent several hours this morning trying to resolve some problems with electricity usage but weren't able to reproduce them.
- The mining servers have nearly reached capacity. Fortunately, this time I confirmed there are no software limitations, and we can expand by simply creating more mining servers. Chris has the hardware available and it will be installed either the day after tomorrow, or on April 6, depending on when Comcast arrives. It may be necessary to close registrations until then.
- Chris received a call that Comcast may be arriving tomorrow to complete the fiber installation. If they do, then all services will be offline for some of the day tomorrow. We should have a definite answer by the end of the day. If they don't arrive tomorrow, then they will install on April 5.
- One of the mining servers is running new code that should make it more responsive to new blocks. If the server runs fine for the rest of the day, the changes will be deployed to all servers. This is the last change that we anticipate making to the mining servers, unless any bugs are found, until we move onto either Monero or Ethereum support.
