Hi everyone...

Well, no real light way to put this... unfortunately the web server is completely choking on all of this data Sad  The current setup, which has worked well for so long, just doesn't seem to be able to handle catching up to real time with such a large backlog (~48 hours).

I'm going to try to utilize another server to do the data crunching more quickly and then import into the web server and see if that results in a faster catch up.  In the meantime I will re-enable the public stats page since it doesn't seem to be helping as much as I had hoped by disabling it.  At least people will be able to see their 128/256 second hash rates and balances.

Sorry folks, please bear with me here.  Keep in mind that Eligius has grown substantially since this was all designed.  As it turns out the web side is not as scalable as I would have liked..... and I've used up my favors getting the main pool database server upgraded.

I have received a good amount of donations over the past few days (thank you all) and I do believe that I will try to put most of this into a web server upgrade soon.

We've been using Eliguis pool for months and are happily satisfied with the pool. It does have data presentation glitches once in awhile but that has no affect on our mining and payouts. It's a great pool competently operated.

Agree with Flashman. We have a Kncminer Jupiter which paid for itself in 25 days. We've ordered a Neptune the same morning it was opened for orders to previous customers. I think anyone can order one now.

Good luck.

I'd order a Neptune machine from Kncminer. We have a Jupiter that paid for itself in about 25 days hashing at 600Gh/s. The Neptune will be 5+ times faster at over 3000Gh/s or 3+ Th/s. Trouble is you need to pay now and it might be mid 2014 before you receive your machine. We joined a pool - Eliguis with no regrets. There are other pools with different options. I like the fact Eliguis pays out as soon as you have .17 BTC or more.

That's my opinion and experience - others might very well have other suggestions.

Good luck,
Bill

I have an online site that is focused on Tanzanite gemstones TanzaniteAmerica.com. I do not have a shopping cart because I find I comunicate with every potential Tanzanite purchaser. Payment arrangements are made via email or phone calls. A few months ago I decided to accept bitcoin. The single most important thing for me was to find the code needed to convert the set price in USD to bitcoin at the time someone visits the site.

I believe Coinbase.com has utilities/code to do that. I wrote all the code for my site. If you would like my bitcoin conversion code send me a message and I'll send it to you. Not knowing what you have in mind my code may not be usefull to you.

Re: Review of my experience with Coinbase.com

After research with the goal of identifying the best online bitcoin service site I selected Coinbase.com. It is US based and offers the services I needed to buy and sell bitcoin. Not knowing for sure just what I migh need, I wanted level 2 status. As other members have stated, the questions for level 2 are real tricky! It took me 6 tries but I made it. Jeez! I was asked when I bought a truck but what they wanted is the dated of the title transfer not the purchased date. I was asked which of 4 roads was near my home - I've never heard of any. I could go on but I mentioned this to encourage users to keep trying.

Thus far I've only purchased BTC - it went as expected. Time will tell.
