EMC has been down for over 5 hours now, so I guess under the new scoring system I loose all my rewards?
If I understand correctly, you won't lose your rewards unless the pool comes back up again and everyone except you starts mining. This is because no (or in this case, very few) shares are being submitted. So the pool is kind of on "pause". I may be wrong, so someone please correct me if I am.
What kinda irks me is that some shares are still being submitted which is in fact eroding everyone elses rewards at the moment.
Is there a method to notify us when the pool is back up again? Or do I have to keep checking the website? I would really prefer to not have my shares decay once the pool comes back up again.
Use poclbm with backup pools. It'll go to a backup pool if the main one is down. If you used it you'd not be bothered if the pool was down, you'd just start mining elsewhere. Set and forget.
Is it possible to do this at all with phoenix? poclbm was too slow for me and so I stopped using it. Also, any recommondations on a backup pool? I'd rather backup to a pool that won't let my shares decay after I leave them when Eclipse comes back online. lulz Oh, the hypocrisy!
