I can't edit the OP, but if you are on the pool, you need to stop mining on pool.cryptoescrow.eu and start mining on mine.cryptoescrow.eu - or when the DNS changes, you won't be connected.

So why wont pool.cryptoescrow.eu point to the IP that mine.cryptoescrow.eu provides?

We seperated the backend from the frontend for two reasons - performance and security. Having a web server on a machine that stores money is unnecessary and is an attack vector. Also, having a dedicated server for mining means it can have all the resources it needs.

I understand all of this as I run and have ran multiple pools. I am curious to to why you need to completely drop pool.cryptoescrow.eu so suddenly? Why not just change the dns for pool.cryptoescrow.eu to point to the new stratum server IP? I had quite a bit of Kh/s pointed at it and there was no warning/time announced ahead of time for the switch. I do however appreciate the new faster DDoS protected servers.

I'm gonna be completely honest - that was kind of due to a miscommunication. It was supposed to point to pool2.cryptoescrow.eu for a while, then we would phase out pool.cryptoescrow.eu's mining ports entirely.

Ahhh.. Well thanks for being honest Cheesy I have pointed my miners to the new IP for now, hopefully everyone else will follow!
