Comcast emergency maintenence tonight

Comcast announced that it will be performing emergency maintenance on its network tonight, for 30 minutes sometime between 1:00am EST and 6:00am EST. All services will be offline during the maintenance.

Because we just learned about this, we will postpone the deployment of miner grouping until during the maintenance period, so that there are not two separate outages.

This period has concluded. Chris was able to get grouping out, but not a fix for Verge mining that is causing Verge to have an excessive number of lost blocks.

We will do one more restart in about three hours to fix that issue, and then this period of releases should be over.
