I just lost a days of mining.

by Doggo · · Post #27605

I just noticed that my miner that was working on a ethereum pplns pool over the last few days just got kicked off while ethereum was under some sort of errors, then once it let me back on, it reset days of work. which was about 30% of the 2 eth block. I wanna know whats going on?

I'm not aware of any issues with ETH that were persistent over several days.

This issue has been resolved, and Chris released the changes.

It turns out that the problem was that the Postgres database doesn't enforce NULLs in unique constraints, so the system kept inserting repeated "first round" PPLNS rows every time it was restarted. We restarted the system earlier in the week, and while the restart didn't cause the problem, it was the first restart since PPLNS mining has been widely used.

Chris added together all of the rows and mining has resumed as normal. No money was lost.
