I do have multiple failover pools but the ping for uswest is too damn high.

You probably don't.  If payments were sent to an address you don't control, they will be lost.  Bitcoin payments are not reversible.

Send a PM to h2o with all the info.  IF it can be corrected, he will do so.  It appears that you were lucky and the address to which you directed it is no currently a legitimate BTC address, so the coin remained in your balance.

Oh, and now you know why you should always use copy and paste for your wallet addresses rather than manually typing them in.

My pool/failovers are:
1. Middlecoin useast
2. Middlecoin uswest
3. Hashcows
4. Poolerino EAC pool

As a result, no cut in to profits. I never even get to pool 3/4. They are there just in case. Also ping is really inconsequential. Blocks aren't found fast enough for an extra 100ms lag to really make much difference.

Furthermore, afaik useast is BETA. Expect 50% uptime and be grateful for more. Along those same lines, uswest is non-beta, so expect 98% uptime and grateful for more.

You have no one to blame but yourself for your high expectations and poor mining practices. If you think you can make more elsewhere (lol), there's the door. Good luck.

massive rejections
asia seems also down

Gonna go out on a limb and say he meant to quote the_unholy_grail

Either that or it was just a general statement from someone who has been here a while.  I've never seen people complain so much about a pool as they do about Middlecoin.  Between ignorance of difficulty and balances, there is never a shortage of pissed off people in this thread
 

Can you create something like this?

I've been getting bundles of lost shares due to stratum disconnects, And average hash rate is well below what it should be, Even though I reconfigured my setup today for better results, For the life of me I don't know how it can go down even though it's at least ten percent higher on my end than yesterday.

I really hope he can take useast out of "beta" and implement auto load latency balancing by just pointing to middlecoin soon. That would solve my issue with not being able to set up a failover server. I would prefer taking high reject rates and connecting to asia over being completely disconnected.

Yep.  I'm barely hitting 500mh/s on my R9 280X on the uswest.  I was running 710mh/s on useast.

Gonna be a lousy pay day today if it isn't fixed soon.
