Hashstrike back up!  Thanks guys

Woohoo! We are rocking and rolling again.  From here on out we will be keeping a "hot" backup of the wallet and database so that if it fails again we can immediately switch over instead of having to go through this block chain download process again.  We appreciate everyone's patience while we worked through these issues.

nice one mate!

Im hasing away nicely, mmmmm minty!!!

failover is your friend!

[jsgh]

Does anyone have confirmed coins?

Hey, it seems that the blocks are backed up.  They will eventually show up as confirmed, you won't see any unconfirmed.  I have been increasing ballance fine though, just takes time.

Orphan blocks will happen from time to time on any chain.  We've already found 7 valid new blocks since being live again, worth over 3.6 million coins, so you should have a good amount of "unconfirmed" balance from that

HashStrike pool is down?!

2nd time in 4 hours!

When it rains, it pours  The block chain in our wallet got corrupted, so now having to fully re-download it to get back up and running.

good to see you updating us here, im at work at the moment and all my minors are still pointed to your servers, good luck pal.

Whatever pool you choose (and this applies to any coin) I would strongly advise to set up at least 2-3 backup pools.  No pool is perfect, and it will keep you hashing at 100% all the time.  I'm manually recovering the blockchain at the moment, and we should be back shortly.

--failover-only is the parameter you guys should use.

This is how your .bat-file will look with failover set to other pools;
stratum+tcp://superminer.com:1111 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password --failover-only stratum+tcp://megaminer.com:2222 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password

Code;

Code:

stratum+tcp://superminer.com:1111 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password --failover-only stratum+tcp://megaminer.com:2222 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password

You can do this with as many pools as you wish in the .bat-file. It's the only way you can leave your house and still be sure you are mining 6 hours later

So --failover-only is only for the 2nd, 3rd, backup pools you have right?

only the first pool should have -o stratum+tcp://superminer.com:1111 and the --failover-only replaces -o right?

Typo from me! --failover does not replace -o

This is how it should look like; -o stratum+tcp://superminer.com:1111 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://megaminer.com:2222 -I 17 -g 1 -u user.woker -p password

So --failover-only is only for the 2nd, 3rd, backup pools you have right?

Yes.

only the first pool should have -o stratum+tcp://superminer.com:1111 and the --failover-only replaces -o right?

no, typo from me.

No problems, these things happen.  I just noticed this on the website:

"As a thank you to the miners sticking with us, we will be 0% fees for the next 24 hours.  In addition, we are adding on to that a BONUS for finding a block!  Each worker that is marked as finding a block will receive a bonus of 1,000 MINT credited directly to your account!"

Nice, thanks!

Not a problem!! We're more than willing to recognize when we have failures and we will go out of our way to make up to it to our miners.  You guys are our customers and we want you to be satisfied 110%!!

So for those of you who may have moved on to another pool- at least make sure to put us as your backup pool.   I promise that we're working hard to make sure we're one of the most stable pools out there.  We're adding extra server capacity, redundant wallets and stratum servers, and additional monitoring systems for every layer of the stack to alert us when issues pop up.  We are committed to running a set of stable, fair, and open pools without any shenanigans.  Thank you again everyone!!

If hashrapid is down/fail, why are they founding blocks?

Still no luck with sync, I have tried all way in this thread. Windows 7 64bit.
Other coins have no problem sync with network.

even with windows my wallet won't sync I been trying to get it to sync for days now.. I finally got an active connection after doing this config file but now it just won't sync. I will pay someone mint if they can help me get my wallet to fully sync  

[luckyguy2807]

As I see +400% shares to find a block is something normal

put the following in your conf file called MintCoin.conf  (uppercase/lowercase is important for linux and macs):

if the is the same config in the OP I have already done that and ran it for over 24 hours I have even closed it opened it and tried again I only getmaybe max 6 active connections trys syncing for a very long time and doesn't do anything for 24 hours. eventually the active connections will drop to nothing and this cycle just repeats.

doing this config file has allowed me to get some kind of active connection as I couldn't get one before but still having problems
