Here's today's status. All of the bugs identified in yesterday's status post have been resolved, with the exception of the two issues:
- For an unknown reason, about 0.007% of shares are being lost because the number of orphaned coins is negative (which doesn't make sense). Tonight, I will put in some code to debug this problem and hopefully will come out with more information. The number of shares is so small that it hardly makes any difference at all, so the only way this would really matter is if it is indicative of some systemic flaw, like every share has its orphan rate subtracted by some small amount (such that only blocks with zero orphan rates trigger the failsafe by being negative).
- We narrowed down the problem with the miners who are unable to connect as an issue with bfgminer. We asked kires if we could use his miners for testing and are awaiting a response on this one. For now, you can get around the problem by using cgminer instead. I'm hopeful that, as soon as kires replies, the problem will be obvious because he appears to be able to reproduce it every time.
In other news:
- While he's waiting for kires on the bfgminer problem, Chris is moving forward with one-day payouts. He posted a message informing users how this change will work. He also removed a lot of complicated text from the documentation on the website about payouts, since it is no longer necessary.
- We will not be adding new features (other than the one-day payouts) for the next two weeks. Instead, we will be fixing bugs, and if there are no known bugs at some point, we will be looking through code to see if we can proactively identify bugs.

Oh crap, sorry guys. Do you still need to access one of my miners? I can give you an hour, but I'll need to know a specific time that will work best for you.

I think we're fine for now, since it appears to be fixed. If you could just try again tonight when we issue the fix, that would be great.

I just got home and the monogamy bug seems to have been resolved, so w00t and hooray! Nicely done, sir.

There is still an issue with vodach's miners where some of his miners never submit any shares. I thought that both your and his issues were caused by the bug I just resolved, but it appears I was incorrect.
But the number of miners unable to mine is now down to only 9, so hopefully we'll be able to make progress on that as soon as vodach gets back to us.
