- Until Thanksgiving: Releases of incremental changes to the system necessary for parallelism, possibly resulting in bugs but no visible improvements
- November 22: Installation of new servers, which will provide capacity for future upgrades, again with downtime and possibly resulting in bugs but no visible improvements
- Late November: Switchover to Comcast Enterprise from the current Javapipe connection, removing a point of possible failure and reducing the probability of connectivity issues
- November 29: End of current commitments, allowing beginning of active monitoring during weekday mornings, which will result in restoration of service more quickly when a server fails during business hours on weekdays
- Early December: Upgrade to Postgres 10, increasing website and database performance
- Mid December: Improvement in support ticket response times due to new employees taking over some support requests
- Mid December: Changes to the site and system (which will not affect profitability) to improve compliance with legal issues
- January 13: Target date for parallel mining server release using one server
- January 20: Target date to start up a second parallel server with customers manually selecting a server
- January 27: Target date for reopening of registrations
- Throughout January: Beginning of changes to the website to make more data available to customers and decrease support tickets
- February: Automatic load balancing on mining servers to be developed and enabled
- April: Target date for SHA-256 mining, assuming that mining server parallelism can handle all demand for the existing algorithms, and does not reveal a bottleneck elsewhere
- June: Target date for Ethereum mining

Timeline of improvements
I thought that customers might like to get a better idea of when they can expect to see various improvements in the system.
Re: Timeline of improvements
Thanks for the update Steve!
Why did you choose Postgres/Postgres 10 over other solutions, if you don't mind me asking? Any particular reason? I am just curious and would love to hear your thoughts.

Re: Timeline of improvements
On December 23, 2013, when we started the project, we looked at the software stack at the company at which I worked and decided that we would use exactly the same technologies, so that if the project became self-supporting, we could draw upon colleagues with minimal training. This worked exactly as designed, since the person we hired is one of those people.Grums wrote:Thanks for the update Steve!

The software stack just happened to include Postgres 8.

AH New servers didnt I say that A while back. And load balancing to very nice steve.
