Thank you for the update WK. I had my desktop crash a short time ago so I know the pain of rebuilding.... I was able to recover most everything important INCLUDING my Bitcoin core wallet.... thankfully.

I am looking forward to the new stats page when you get it done. I appreciate all the work you put in on keeping this pool running and keeping it the best.

Thanks again!

I don't know about anyone else but I for one have never found a pool run as well as Eligius nor one that never has or will rip anyone off or lose their coins. I have tried a few as backups but when I tested them I came back very quickly to Eligius as my primary simply because it is the best or has been.. Id love to see stats... but I know if they are not done it is just that wk is swamped either with a problem with the pool or something in RL which we all have to remember he also has one of.

WizKid and Eligius have always done right by me and I will stick by this pool and owner 110%

Thanks, From the miner end it appears everything is working fine but I like to be able to verify that is all.

WK ,

Sorry to repeat my questions but I did not see an answer to my specific questions. Is there a new url or address I need to point my S9 at to continue to mine on Eligius? If not fine I have never had any issues with you paying out what is due to any miner so I am fine with that end as long as my shares are being tallied and recorded by the new system I trust you to pay them out. ... I know you work hard on the stats and the backend pool itself so I understand the pretty front end and all the prett stats pages take time so I am not so concerned with that just want to know that I am not wasting electricity running this beast if the shares are not counting for something.

Ok, I just want to mine. I was oblivious to the changes having not been watching the blogs not paying a lot of attention to the forum etc... I just set up my miner pointed it to eligius and forgot about it knowing that the shares I earn would be paid to my wallet when my thresholds were met. I just noticed all of this now since I had to rebuild my wallet and came on to figure out if all payouts had shown up.

I just want to know My miner has still been churning away happily turning in shares have those shares gone into the new system then or have they been wasted mining power?

Is there new addresses I need to point my miner to or are they still good where they are? Is there a new site to go to monitor my progress? Please let me know

I'm in a similar position with 2400Gh 4.95041479 Btc invested and 2.21911705 Btc returned in payouts Unfortunately I fell into this scam back in April when the cost per gh was .0043 btc so my investment per Gh is a bit higher and I too was reinvesting everything I earned thinking this was a better option than the power hogs I had in the basement. I sold 270gh/s of my mining hardware 3 or 4 weeks ago now I have only 1.3 Th in S3s and the 2.4 Th on PBmining. I guess its time to find more hardware.... glad they were out of hashing power last Sunday when I normally would have invested another .3btc for another 200gh contract. maybe I can use that to partially fund some new hardware.

Thanks Wizkid No rush I just had never seen a backup that long before. Thanks for the honest and courteous answer.

This may be a "dumb" question since I have not been watching the board lately ( I did scan the last couple of pages though and found nothing related)

Is there some reason the payout queue has hit 20+ blocks behind now?? I have been mining on Eligius since march and have never seen more than 4 or 5 blocks since I keep my payouts thresholds set for about 3 or 4 day intervals.

I am not saying anything untoward is going on I trust WK fully but I would just like to know why I had a 20 block delay on one miner and 16 or 17 on the other. ( down to 16 and 11 currently).

Thanks

Thanks for the helpful and extremely accurate reply. I had however finally found the reset button on my own anyway and yes it did fix the problem and now the second S3 is happily hashing away next to the first. Thank you!

As for the question you posted I had changed the IP of the first one I had not managed to get that far on the second I was still working on the pool and worker settings

I received my 2 Antminer S3's today. One is happily mining away at about 430Gh/s the other I logged into once and attempted to configure it but something happened and the S3 rebooted and now I am no longer able to sign into it. I have changed the working miners IP address so its not conflicting and the miner does show on my router at the 192.168.1.99 address. but the page will not load and I get an error saying the page could not be loaded. Is there some magical reset or something to recover this or am I SOL?

No the fan is blowing to cool all of my miners including 9 Antminer u1's 7 bitwins and 1 nanofuryII as well as the 6 R-Boxes The R-Boxes are positioned so that they intake the coolest air in the room and their exhaust air is carried away by the airflow from the box fan. To clairify it makes no difference whether the miner is at 37 or 40c they all mine fast sometimes and they all slow down eventually. how long they run varies but usually 2 or 3 times a day at least each or all of them must be restarted.

Ill try the later version of CGminer I really would like to be able to run BFG but unfortunately every version of BFG that runs Rockminers is unstable on my set as the Bitwins bomb after after a 30 - 40 minutes or so. So Ill download the newest CG miner and try that.

I have 6 R-box miners running on CGminer on a Windows 7 machine.  They seem to run ok but even running them at a clock speed of 290 I am getting only about 200Gh/s from the 6 of them or just about 34Gh/s each They do peak at about 208-210 Gh/s (still under 35Gh/s each)  but only brief peaks. 4 or 5 times a day I have to restart 2 3 or all 6 of the miners as they slow down to high teen to low twenties GH/s

I thought it was power related as I had all 6 running from one 360W PS to start with but I have since bought and hooked up a second 360W PS and put 3 units on each and still the same. I can not get speeds of anywhere near the 35 GH/s each I was expecting with any kind of consistency. I get nearly 35 for brief peaks but it drops off to average a bit under 34 and then drops off to less than 25 after a few hours. I have the 6 units set up spaced out with a 20" box fan blowing across them and they run about 39-40c so I don't think it is heat related either.


My question is, What am I doing wrong or is it just a design flaw that these units can not run for more than a few hours at a time reliably?


Is there an updated firmware or driver I should try? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

yeah meaning that the other poor slobs that have had their miners slaving away on the pool get nothing... no thanks if I wanted to wait years for any payout I would just mine solo!

I've mined mainly on Eligius from the beginning of my mining adventure I can say that I have never once had cause to question the integrity or the security of my payouts. I am a small fish and the pond is getting bigger and deeper by the minute but I KNOW I will be paid when I reach my threshold. (and we solve a block) I like the fact I don't have to worry about someone disappearing with the loot and the fact that there are no mandatory fees charged.... although I have set up a voluntary 1% donation anyway.

If you want to leave the best pool around then go for it... but there really is nothing random about the payout structure here. You get paid in a very specific order based upon blocks being solved of course, but you do get paid for the shares you submit that are accepted. If you are impatient and greedy and set your threshold low you may have to wait a bit for some who have not been paid as recently as you to get paid their due share first. If you set your threshold to an appropriate level to match your hashing power so that you hit it at about a 3 day period you wont have to wait much or often.

Just my 2 cents worth but personally I am glad that the payouts focus on those who have gone longer without first... otherwise I might never get paid for my paltry efforts if the big fish got first dibs all the time.

I have a question for Wizkid. I have my donation levels set so that the total should be right at 1% split between the three accounts however when I look at my stats page it seems that only .1% total is being contributed.

I think there may be a glitch in the code for the donation calculations.

then I say to you... good riddance!  Why are you following or posting to a thread about a mining pool you state you do NOT mine on? Troll much?

Sounds like you are using the standard windows usb to uart bridge you need to install the SI ones. the zadig drivers will NOT work with BFGminer at all. follow the link install the SILabs drivers and they work fine.

So any news? I see nothing since April. I was considering setting this pool up as either my failover or perhaps even my primary (though its hard to beat my currant primary pool for reliability or value) IS Direct pool coming back or is it DOA?
