Solo mining:

Would it be beneficial if you set everyone to mine on the solo? I mean, if a block was achieved with us, then that could be quite a few coins right?

All that would accomplish is turn multiclone into Yet Another Proportional Pool.  Pointless.  Solo is there so that workers do something quasi-useful when the pool can't give it anything better.  There's still a chance we'll find something on solo mining, which is why we do that rather than miners idling.


Also, the getwork daemon died and prevented any work getting distributed earlier today due to a perl threading issue from the original code that it looks like the original Multipool was fighting with, too.  I think I fixed it, but it's happened before and I thought I fixed it that time too.

This time, I wrote some code to just relaunch the damn threads when they crash.  Things should be working again, and this should provide some better stability than 'lets hope Nick notices the server is messed up and manually restarts it' Smiley
