    FreeDC down

    Tuesday March 3rd. Database Server is struggling today, so I need to take it down to see what is going on. Hopefully it's just dust. Throttling back to 1.6Ghz so causing slow updates. Plus I'm getting some errors on a drive too.
    The Stats without BitcoinUtopia take a while to compute too, I may take them out for a while, not really had much feedback on them so it's likely a very small minority who use them anyway.

    This hardware has been reliable but it's old now (5+ years) and I simple can't afford to replace it.


    We may have to start a new Bitcoin Utopia Campaign for BOK.....

    Wow... 5+ years hardware running 24/7 like he does... it's got to be an impressive set of hardware.

    I got to say, I aspire to one day become a stats man too, but the power bill is already high for my budget with only my 3 machines running.

    Here's hoping for a fast and non-costly recovery for Bok's Stats!

    I wrote to Bok and suggested he seek financial assistance from Bitcoin Utopia, there is plenty of support for him.

    I sent bok USD100 by PayPal as a donation.

    Let's all chip in so he can buy some new hardware.

    Yup. But this time their forum is down as well, so it could be a router/ISP/DNS or some other network issue.
    Although earlier I was getting blank stats page templates so the stats server was down but the web server was up but the responses were very slow indeed.
    I just started to get 524 errors from cloudflare (timeouts)
    A mixed bag of responses.
    Almost like it is getting DDoS'd and can't respond normally.

    He could be switching over to the new R900 and R2900 servers. Wait a bit.
