Well the secret is out. Yes, US East is currently online. The other servers are staying off while I monitor US East's activity.
The shares being sent to US east are valid and being counted, but My Account is currently still in its low-priority DDoS mode where it does not try to communicate with servers (thus no real-time stats getting pulled from US East).
US East is still counting shares. It still had about 75k of share submission data from last night's uptime as well. I'll be worknig on the stat polling/caching system tonight to get Worker Stats available again on a small delay.
Exactly,
1) Delay of around round time divided by 2 is almost necessary to prevent hopping abuse.
2) Banning people for using many ip's might not be the best idea, instead using an efficiency based banning might be more fair and have the same effect (i.e. stales > 20% or whatever arbitrary value).
The logging I put in place is for a two criteria auto-blacklist:
1) Too many IPs on a single worker.
2) Too many requests with too few shares returned.
