    @Scolol You have to edit your eth-proxy.conf file and set the option:
    ENABLE_WORKER_ID = True

    You'll have to restart eth-proxy after the change.

    @dlehenky : Woops, thank you.

    @dr_pra Great job with the pool. The web interface is intuitive and income quite stable. The only thing I am missing are miners stats for more than 6 hours. Indeed, when testing different settings or mining programmes, the 6 hours window is a little bit short to compare perfs, especially because displayed hasrate isn't very stable on a short term basis.

    Did anyone else notice a 15 minute network problem connecting to the us1 server? I missed a quarter hour of hashing. Don't know where the problem was, though. It could have been anything in between my location and the server.
  • crsminercrsminer Member Posts: 75
    Yes, I had a drop in hashrate for about 45 minutes.
    Running on eu server.

    I'm just wondering if ethpool would include a Oceania server anytime soon?

    I'm sure that many would like to decentralize Ethereum but with many of the pools not providing good payouts and not located towards the asian/oceanic side of the world, decentralization is really difficult when Dwarfpool is the only option for them.
  • dlehenkydlehenky Member Posts: 2,249 ✭✭✭✭
    @syaoran99 Well, at least there's an Asia server now! I'd like to see a west coast US server, myself. Montreal (the us1 server) is a long haul from the west coast.

    @dlehenky @crsminer there was indeed an issue today affecting the hashrate reporting. According to our analysis it was only a cosmetic issue and should not have affected mining and your credits. We have deployed a fix that should mitigate such a problem in the future.

    regarding the location based servers, as I mentioned already several times, with ethereum latency during mining is not a real problem (compared to other currencies like bitcoin). Please read up on the uncle mechanism and how it solves the latency problem so that short block times like 17 seconds are possible. Even if we would provide a separate server next to each of our miners it would not yield any significant gain in the income of the pool. The uncle rate of the pool is already very low and fully competitive with pools that operate a server on each continent.

    @dr_pra Actually, what I saw was 20 minutes of nearly continuous disconnect-reconnect to the us1 stratum port on all 16 of my rigs. During that time, effective, virtually no new work arrived or results submitted. After that time, the connect remained established and everything returned to normal. It occurred from 2:36 PM to 2:56 PM US Mountain Time.

    @dlehenky ok thanks, we will look into that!

    hey guys i am a newbie in mining.
    I just began to mine ether in december with a 7990.
    Since i have bought a 7950, a 7870 xt and a 7870.

    i do 41 Mh/s with 7990 stock w10 crimson drivers
    35 mh/s with the rig 7950 and 7870 xt overclocked win 7 crimson drivers
    13 mh/s with 7870 stock win 7 crimson drivers

    One guy told me he does 30 Mh/s with a single 7950 !!!
    HOW?
    I am mining on ethpool.org with qtminer.
    I have 200 euros of electricity bill/month
    this same person told me he got this for 20 cards omg....

    Is somebody could tell me how setting up my rigs for better rapport perormances/consumption plz?

    Many thanks guys !!!

    @Miles First, your post is completely off-topic. Start a new discussion or find one that is more appropriate to your question. Second, the "guy" is telling you crap.

    @dr_pra

    I still have the waiting for work error...
    I am running qtminer on us server. Switched from eu server because of this error but I still get it.

    @crsminer I'm have some disconnects on eth-proxy through us1, not continuously though. The Web site is giving me gateway errors. Actually, the Web site is back, and it looks like we lost 10 minutes.
  • crsminercrsminer Member Posts: 75
    Yes, it's not continuous, more like for one minute maybe each 20-30 minutes, but it counts towards the hash submitted because no work is done during the disconnect.

    @dr_pra website is down with a 502 bad gateway.

    Additionally, I'm seeing a lot of these errors with qtminer and the US server:

    Stratum Server error: Error creating database query

    Stratum connection error: Connection refused

    There was 502 bad gateway + us1 server issues... What's weird though is my proxy did not switch to the failover for whatever reason. It would pick a job from the failover and then connect back to the primary server.

    Any ideas how to prevent that from happening? Looks like the failover only works when the primary server is Dead. When malfunctioning it will try and connect every 10 seconds causing the worker to lose workload.

    502 again, looks like the server can't cope with the traffic?
    I see delays in thousands of ms while submitting work via proxy.
  • dlehenkydlehenky Member Posts: 2,249 ✭✭✭✭
    Well, another 20 minute period of constant disconnect-reconnect today, with no work getting done. This time it was 1:19 PM to 1:39 PM US Mountain time.

    US1 server is officially dead. My Proxy switched to dwarfpool.
  • crsminercrsminer Member Posts: 75
    Definitely something wrong with the pool.
    It's happening again on all my rigs.

    Massive amounts of NEW JOBS yet very few submitted shares. I am off to dwarfpool for the night.
    Also there's something wrong with the reward calculation.
    At 2T credits my estimation for the block says 'very soon'

    While it is unfortunate to experience the same issue twice during a day we were now able to locate the root cause of the problem and eliminate it.

    Additionally we have integrated this issue in our pool monitoring system so that we are getting immediately notified in case of any mining issues.

    In order to compensate you for those problems we have reduced the pool fee to 0%!

    We will continue to monitor the situation closely and are sorry for the inconvenience.

    BTW: Please create a support ticket in case of such issues, this will allow us to react faster.
