perhaps the admin should not allow new accounts until
the capacity issue is resolved? just a suggestion.
Yeah, but I'd prefer those new servers getting online quicker.
It's annoying to see miners idle 10s out of each minute.
Quicker? I completely changed the design of pushpool to allow a multiple server system, and put 3 new servers online in one week. There was absolutely no way to prepare for a following spike of a
900 GH/sec GROWTH in under a week. This pool has been around for barely over one month, and has only recently started to produce enough money to actually pay for anything. Unlike Tycho, this pool hasn't allowed me the privilege of quitting my day job.
US Central is expected to come up soon. A new server is also being setup to handle the web traffic and get that load off of US West.
I am also looking into getting two cheaper servers specifically for load balancing US and EU, to get the speeds split more evenly between the 4, soon to be 5 or 6 servers.
