All this is not terribly surprising given the number of additions and improvements (new regional servers, for instance) that ethpool has made very rapidly in the last week. And the pool hash rate has doubled in the last 2 weeks. That's going to cause some issues; it would be a miracle if it didn't.
@dr_pra IP of your main page and us1 server is the same. That means every person simply visitng your website adds bandwith to whatever people are sending via us1.
Try and get separate server for us1 and keep the main site isolated. That way a whole bunch of people viewing the website won't DDOS your entire pool.
I assume your entire config is stored on that US ip therefore when ethpool.org crashes all the others go down with it.
BTW: Please create a support ticket in case of such issues, this will allow us to react faster.
@dr_pra Difficult to know where to create a support issue when the website is down. For everyone else's future reference, the ethpool support system is on freshdesk:
Why, oh why, do people get joy from something like a DDOS attack. What does it accomplish. What a waste. Glad to see the pool is keeping the attack at bay!
I have a super-fast optic fiber connection and amazing quality internet here where the mining rig is present. I am mining on the ethpool.org (EU based server) with 3 x MSI R9 390X, without any overcloaking, any specific parameters to increase the MH/s I generate with QTminer around 85 MH/s, which i think is a tragedy compared to other options. But the main concern is that after mining continuesly on ethpool.org Eu server, my avarage speed is around 75 MH/s. WTF, can somebody please explain me? Thank you very much. PS Invalid share ratio is only around 0,5% on average for all rounds.
Although the average hashrate over 24 hours seems to be consistent, there are big difference in reported short term hashrate. Could you please give us some explanations why the pool reports such big differences? My rig is a dedicated machine with nothing else running than qtminer, my Internet connection is stable, so why are there such differences?
@Aktarus If you were mining solo, even with a huge rig, and you plotted you block mining rate over time, do you actually think it would be a flat line? If you do, you are mistaken, and you would clearly show that you do not really understand how all this mining stuff works. In a word, it's all about probability and variance.
Hi, finally got my i7-920 9G R9 280x ubuntu 14.04.4 desktop running with qtminner, I have tweked a bit with aticonfig but moving the core to 1184 from the standard 1030. The command I entered is;
aticonfig --odsc=1184,1500
I used aticonfig --odgt to get the temperature, it did not seem to move that much, it's arounf 79C.
I would like to have anyone's opinion on adding a second card in my rig, I'm thinking of a R9 270X, would that be an issue if it only has 2G comared to 3G for my 280x? Thanks, Louis
ethpool's hash rate has been rising steadily for awhile now. When I started mining on it a little over 2 weeks ago, it was 58 GH, today it's up to 126 GH, with over 600 miners! I think adding the EU and Asia servers really helped a lot more people gain access.
@adaseb Really? I have received email alters for two different rigs a couple of days ago. You do realize you need to set it up in your pool Account Settings, right?

Yes I set it up there.
Maybe it worked a few days ago but in the last 24 hours it didn't.
Maybe its because I have email monitoring enabled in the eth-proxy.conf file which I used for Dwarfpool. And there is some confusion going on.
Really wish they would fix this issue because my miners crash randomly.
DDoS's are happening as it drives users away from the pool else where, deters them from mining Eth, and possibly bring the whole pool down which reduces difficulty and increases income for whatever pools are still up.

Please get some more processing power 502 means you are overloaded.

The server is powerful enough to easily handle several thousand users under normal operation conditions.
