We've been having a few issues with our BitFuries on multipool.us when on BitCoin. Adam is using P2Pool for BTC mining while we have <25 TH/s (enough to get a block per day) to mitigate our risk when mining BTC.

However, because the BitFuries have an in-built stratum proxy that seems to be conflicting in some way with the multipool.us link to P2Pool (ie. mining doesn't work).

Adam is working on the problem his end (Plan A: fixing the stratum server), and we're also working on our own solution (Plan B: installing bfgminer on all BitFuries instead of chainminer so they can connect direct).

I don't want people to think we've abandoned our promise! We will bring the full CipherMine 5 TH/s back to multipool.us. At present we're splitting it between multipool.us and BTCguild. Irritatingly you can't set the BitFuries to failover between pools, only load balance (another reason we're installing bfgminer). I'm hoping that we'll have this resolved by the end of the weekend.
