Mining server restart today
Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2021 9:24 am
Today, we will be restarting all mining servers. We expect the downtime to last for about 1 second in the most case; however, we assign a 10% probability that something will be wrong and require longer downtime or a revert.
This mining server release contains major changes to support the following coming features:
There may be an outage of all services in the coming days, as we need to do a simple change of cord in the outbound router from a standard Ethernet cable to a fiber cable. The purpose of that change is to increase our bandwidth to 2gbps symmetric from the 500mbps we have now, once Comcast enables that on the upstream router. That outage should last only as long as it takes for someone to unplug and plug in the cords.
