Woo Hoo!

The unexchanged is exchanging. The question is, will it hit the MOON for the first time?

A tip that might be of interest to some others:  Using load-balancing in cgminer seems to be smoothing out the frequent coin-switch disconnects on the US server:

Config example:

"pools" : [
        {
                "quota" : "8;stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "",
                "pass" : "x"
        },
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.middlecoin.com:3333",
                "user" : "",
                "pass" : "x"
        }
],
"load-balance" : true

This will get the majority of work (8/9) from the US server, and the other 1/9th from the EU server.  When a disconnect happens on pool 0, you will usually have some work from pool 1 to switch to right away, so you lose a lot less hashing time vs sitting idle.  It isn't perfect - still losing a bit of hash rate on switches, but it doesn't seem anywhere near as bad as without.

Not complaining just saying.

Today was a lower payout than expected. I guess those who stayed on the US server will be getting better payouts if the chart is to be believed. I attempted to switch to the US server yesterday (I am based in the US) but even with the recompiled miner the connection interrupts and constant switching made my hashrate plummet so I thought it would be best to stick with the EU server.

Doge is plummeting relative to BTC, so since that's what the EU server is mining, it won't earn you as much. The EU server is much is more stable though.

A question for H2o....

From the looks of it you are using Amazon EC2 to host the frontend, does that extend to the backend as well?

If so, are you looking to launch any server instances in the Sydney region as well as there are a number of Australian miners who would appreciate a regional hub to use.

Finally - many thanks for the amazing work and returns you have managed to date, keep it up!

Eu server ? I thought it was the US server that was fubar ?

Oh, OK. Thanks for all that you do it is much appreciated.

Using both the US and EU servers is working well for me. I have them set using load balancing in cgminer which seems to submit more shares to the US server, but my miners never run out of work even during coin switches (less than 30 sec downtime in the last hour and a half).

Also, I am running cgminer 3.1.1 (on windows 7), which doesn't seem to have the disconnect, crash, and non-restart issues people are reporting with newer versions of cgminer. It's stable for at least a week on either server with all my rigs.

Pick Singapore!

I had a problem with the "quota" line. I changed it to "url" and it is working. What is the purpose of the "quota" parameter?
