Had 2 drop outs (failovers to backup pool) in the last 3 hours. Any idea what happend?
I haven't had any drops outs? Been mining CKPool solid the past 24 hrs
Ok, thanks for the info.
As it is also not a local problem (failover to backup pool -which is in Europe- was working and mining), it must have been a connectivity issue somewhere between my local provider and Kanos CKPool provider... stuffed transatlantic links, congestion at any2 IX in LAX, whatever.
Gotcha... I just started mining Kano.
Who are you using for your backup pool?
My criteria for a dust collector (backup pool):
- PPS
- extremly reliable in terms of availability (and payout)
- different continent and network provider than main pool
- not one of the big pools
so currently it is the european stratum sever of emc (I know, belongs to BFL for some time now, which I don't really like... but hey, as a dust collector..altough the min payout is 0.02 btc, so it takes some time to get my collected dust, but I'm always getting it.. so far at least).
And if everything goes south, I have nicehash as the last resort...
Currently I am thinking of changing my backup pool (because of the 0.02 min payout and the uncertain future of BFL), but have not yet decided...
