Brief restart tonight
A brief restart tonight will fix three issues: CashAddr support, the inability to merge mine 6 SHA-256 coins that is reducing profitability, and keeping equihash miners from disconnecting. It will take about 2 minutes.
Re: Brief restart tonight
Steve, there was already 2 reboots.
I understand when you need to update something and reboot needed. But it really shouldn't be multiple reboots.

Third one...
Re: Brief restart tonight
look, this pool is bringing on massive new features (sha256, equihash) and supporting new crypto concepts (cashaddr) and you begrudge a few minutes out of the day? and these boots include a feature that should actually improve profitablity (sha merge mining fix.)
may i suggest you try ispace.co.uk ? they never seem to add, improve, or adjust anyting, such stale stability should make you ecstatic.

Re: Brief restart tonight
so... how do you use the sha256 pool? I can't find anything on the web site that shows a URL????

Point your miners to stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333, and use password "a=sha-256."mpump1 wrote:so... how do you use the sha256 pool? I can't find anything on the web site that shows a URL????

As far as we can tell, the mining servers are now performing optimally with the algorithms we have now, so the last scheduled reboot for this release cycle has passed.shtrudel wrote:Steve, there was already 2 reboots.

Like all companies, we proceed in cycles: a new algorithm is released, and the process of doing that degrades the quality of the software, requiring bugs to be fixed over the next few weeks. Eventually, the system becomes very reliable, until the next algorithm is released and the process repeats.
In this cycle, we are now in the "reliable" phase, and I aim to release Ethereum mining in a month or two. The unstable phase of the cycle lasted from early March until yesterday, when we resolved the last critical bug on the list.
