Downtime on Monday, August 31

Greetings everyone,

There will be a short period of downtime during the afternoon of Monday, August 31. We will be issuing a new release with the features listed at http://forums.prohashing.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=557.

We will first work on getting the new charts confirmed as working, which will require a mining server restart. Then, we will start enabling NXT and Ethereum payouts, and all markets traded in those coins. Finally, we will enable our improved coin switching algorithm and observe its results in real-world mining. Monero payouts and markets may or may not be enabled, given that the Monero daemon is estimated to take 6 more days to download its blocks and we have been unable to find a way to speed it up.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have. If you set a failover pool, you should be largely unaffected by these changes, as mining will continue even if the website and trader is down for some time.

We may do this downtime on Sunday if we complete all the testing by then.

This downtime has been postponed. Chris is going to put Monero support in this release, even though we were going to release without it. That could take a few more days.

I'd say it's most likely we would release on Wednesday now.
