As you're all aware, we had some issues with the eu endpoint dropping shares for a few hours yesterday (they were fixed as soon as it was noticed, and won't happen again), however the shares during that 3-4hr period are essentially permanently lost.  During the issues we were having a few days ago, we changed the way our shares are routed from endpoint boxes to our collector box (share processor).  Essentially this connection dropped yesterday, and the reconnect logic was never able to reconnect.  Two things have been fixed to stop this from happening again.  First, the reconnect logic is fixed (so if the connection does drop, it will be brought back up immediately), second, if the reconnect logic _does_ fail twice in a row, the server will shut down to allow miners to fall back to their backup pools.

As for dealing with the lost shares, we essentially have no way of knowing which shares (or how many) were lost during that time.  The only thing I can offer as a token is setting the pool fee lower for a time to make up for the lost shares..  I'll figure out how best to do this (it will cause some code issues, as blocks that have been processed as immature during 1% fee will be processed again at 0% fee, and will move 1% more unconfirmed --> confirmed than actually exist in unconfirmed, will need to be scheduled for a specific time in the future).



This doesn't even make sense.  First, why in the world would I fake hashrate?  What does that gain?  Second, if I were to fake hashrate, we wouldn't be earning any more coins than usual (and the block find records are listed right on the site), the profitability would absolutely plummet.

EU is fine now, and in the next few days we will be looking into adding an extra endpoint in Singapore for you SEA guys
