1) "connection refused" - that I noticed a lot for many RIGS ( DDOS protection is too restrictive or server is overloaded ) ;
2) many orphaned blocks caused by too late coin being disabled or bad configuration when there is a chain split

I believe the root of evil is the same for both: the hardware is too weak to handle more than a certain number of miners connections -> when this limit is reached, the stratum server falls off and miners start getting "connection refused" -> when stratum server goes up and miners resume working on the block, that block comes too late and the network refuses it (i.e. it becomes "orphan").
However, it's just my theory, I don't know what actually goes there.

Hello,

1. I do plan massive HW upgrade on weekend, now preparation goes full speed. Want to make it as smooth as possible for users.
Meanwhile yes, we are close to limits in current config.

2. I also do hope mining software developers will switch over to new stratum server name format. (We will change to .mine.zergpool.com: server name format, so you can start updating your configuration to support this slowly). This will make it possible to have different network routes for different stratum servers.

You will have to use several very powerful servers (web&db + Stratum svr + coinsvr) ? This way the overall profitability will be increased and you will soon have the number of users zpool has targeting 30000 because next week you will be over aHashPool, they only have 6000 miners.

Think that with 6000 miners ahashpool makes daily payments of 7BTC and this means they pay every month 2,000,000 dollars and this means an income of $20,000 per month at 1% total fee that is with just 6000 miners and with 30k miners you will have an income of at least $100,000 per month. If you take into consideration also huge profits from forgotten wallets or too old wallets that remain on your wallet, you do realize it worth having very powerful servers.

You do realize zpool makes monthly payments of $10,000,000 ? You can soon be there if you will have the most profitable pool, and it is very easy to achieve that.

Do you agree, pinpin ?
