Re: Distributed Processing on the e-Gold Network
What am I missing? Even if a SPEND from me to you involves a transaction on My Group Server, Your Group Server, My Originator's Group Server, Your Originator's Group Server, and the E-Gold Account Group Server, there still are far fewer transactions going on with EACH server in the group than there would be if all of these transactions occurred on just ONE server. Moreover, each Group could be made as small as one desires so that the fraction of the entire system's processing power remains small. One transaction may involve 5 servers, but if there are 25 servers in the entire system, then the number of servers involved in one SPEND is still only a percentage of the total.

What THE HELL is going on?
Hey, tech support, anyone alive out there? I've been trying to reach someone in e-gold for about one bloody day now, have send several faxes, all of them returned with "Unable to send" error message. I have also tried to speak with someone of the e-gold tech support but the phone redirects me to a voice mail box which is already full (you can imagine with what). The fact is that e-gold is not working for over a day now, I keep receiving that message "Unable to process your transaction try again in few minutes". What the hell is going on , can anyone explain? Why there is never anything about system being down in the website, just to cool down the numerous number of the customers, who are unable to do their businesses??? I am mostly disappointed from such an attitude folks !!! George --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: drunken e-gold
I don't see an e-gold site up and running, unlike some recent reports. I agree. E-gold is NOT UP. With perseverence, it might be possible to execute a transaction, but the overwhelming number of responses from the system are failures. Craig I have tried to get the tech support on the phone, but all I got is an automatic responce from their voice mail box that its full of messages (you can imagine of what nature :) all my faxes to them returned with "Unable to deliver" message. :((( Implication: E-gold has *NO* tech support one can rely on. Shame on them. --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Distributed Processing on the e-Gold Network
While this is a solution to scaling, it does not take fault tolerance into account. Redundancy and load balancing are critical in a large scale deployment. E-gold can get away with not having this in place for now, but a geographically disburse redundant system will have to be in place before too long. Absolutely! Redundancy, and scalability are two separate issues, though. Real-time replication to a redundant site, with minimal recovery time, is necessary as well. However, no replication is necessary if the primary system can't handle the load.

Re: Distributed Processing on the e-Gold Network
The only OS currently available (that is fully developed and not experimental) to handle the scenario you outline below is any of the available flavors of Unix. That's just not the case. You can do the same thing with MS SQL server. I know from experience, as well. I've run NT systems for years, and they simply do NOT crash when designed properly. I'm not trying to advance the argument that NT systems are as fast and easy to use as UNIX systems, but they ARE reliable, and they CAN be scalable.

Re: Distributed Processing on the e-Gold Network
An obvious part of the problem with EGold "service" is that the bulk of all transactions take place in the SSL environment which is very processor intensive. For this VERY PURPOSE, Intel came out with a special line of product this year. It is a rack-mount box which runs in parallel with a server and performs high-speed SSL processing, removing virtually all of the overhead from the server CPU. Yes, I informed EG of this. No, they didn't seem in the least interested since "their way" is always "best".

It will absolutely be necessary. Don't any of you remember the downtime E-gold had during the last hurricane? There are people on this list that rely on E-Gold as a core business. Downtime is the equivalent of removing cash from your pockets and freezing your bank account. I have been around the internet business for over 10 years, I know how unstable and fragile a single link can be. The net has built in design for redundancy, it just needs to be taken advantage of. I think I am one of the few that runs geographically disbursed name servers, each under a different TLD. Just because I've been burned by NSI in the past. E-Gold is a great system and is having growing pains, I don't intend for a little downtime to discourage me at this point, but I would like to see a plan on how downtime is going to be reduced or eliminated. --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Distributed Processing on the e-Gold Network
Vince, I am not yet entirely dependent on e-gold for my business but I sure agree with what you say. The system is great and has a superb future. They need nothing but the best in term of infrastructure. In the short term... they need to inform us ... Period.!
