Earlier today, a system outage occurred. It turns out that the cause of the problem was a bug in the price update program. Something that has never happened before is that the price updater disconnected from WAMP during the brief period between when all the prices from the exchanges were calculated and the price data is received by the mining servers. There was no disconnection handling, so the program simply halted, the protection against multiple instances running at the same time prevented another price updater from running, and when no new prices had been received in an hour, the mining servers stopped mining as the failsafe was programmed.
I apologize for the problem. All services have returned to normal, and I added a task for Vance to kill the price updater upon disconnect from WAMP.
