Todays fast tracks have been sent!

* Reminder *
If you find a security exploit within MTV/PV, and you tell us about it (without first trying to cashout/spend your illgotten gains - we'll give you a $100 cash finders fee!


Todays news is in progress, i'll reply to this thread throughout the day with updates.

We've turned off the ad view page for the moment, as we have too many users for our current server configuration. And if you're all viewing ads, it's killing the website... We're working on the necessary to scale our servers & coding to cope with our huge growth of late, and as soon as that's ready, we'll put the ad view process back online.

* We have extended all active ads by 48hours (and we can extend further if necessary) , so you won't lose any ads as a result of this maintenance. The ads will be waiting for you when we get everything fully functional (and speedy!) again.

----

I'll copy a few programmer messages to show you where we're at:

Daniel K. a day ago
- reff daily stats to redis - frequent lock on stats table
- partitioning issues table
- investigated some other things which should be moved to redis, to be continued tomorrow

Daniel K. about 14 hours ago
- preparation for DB repliacation
- audit results analisys
- moving ad interaction to Redis

Alex (last night)
Ok quick update before I head out to bed.
I have successfully set up 2 Mysql 5.6 databases replicating. Simple replication works fine.
The next test is to create a quick CodeIgniter testbench that will allow writes on DB1 and reads on DB2. Then stress test it all to see if it can cope with load.

Good night all

Alex... This morning:
Good morning,

The replication has been successful and I am now in a position where I write on DB1 (master) which then replicates on DB2 (slave), then I can read back from DB2.
That way we can theorically offload the big page generation like portfolio onto a different server, keeping the main one free. Backups will also be able to move onto a slave.
Now there are several other things I need to try, including a replication failure - how can we recover from it...

I'll keep you updated, but I think we should order 1 new DB server to be slave. What do you guys think?

Daniel
That's a very good news smile

In the worst case, we can use this old server which is still connected. But, I also prefer to have a faster one. With more cores for operations and a bigger disk of course.

So, maybe we should simply order a new DB server, with configuration copied from the current one ?

Alex
That was my thinking yes. We keep using the main server as we are, change it to be a master server and add a new server which will be the slave. Ideally we need the same server in terms of hardware and software.

In the long term, it may be possible to have more than 1 slave and use some kind of sharding in order to query the right database. For example, let's consider we have 1 Master and 3 Slaves.
Everything gets written on the Master which is as we are now, but we want to perform the hardest reads on the slaves by sharding the connections. We could use the user ID modulo number of slave servers... Meaning that User ID 1 will get its data from Slave 1, User ID 2 from Slave 2, User ID 3 from Slave 3, User ID 4 from Slave 1, User ID 5 from Slave 2, etc...
And if we need to add more servers, then we change the modulo divider - simplez

...

To which I have just replied requesting the programmers place the order with iweb for the new equipment. And i've insisted that they buy not one, but 2 additional dedicated servers, so that we have some spare capacity to tap into as of when.
* As i'm certain that if for nothing else, we can make use of the 3rd database server as we build multiplayer poker... That's definitely going to require extra capacity in one form or another; so I don't mind spending a few hundred bucks a month to have a spare server lying around, connected & ready for instant utilization as the programmers require it.

....

I've also told the programmers to turn the ad view process back on as soon as they think the site can handle it... But it's still offline for the moment, so I suppose there is more work to be done.

But Alex seems to be actively helping us right now; so that's great news. And I would imagine we'll get a very speedy solution to our problems - provided iweb doesn't create a delay installing new equipment.

------

And just to reassure people...
Our problems are good problems, we simply have too many users viewing ads for our current server architecture and coding. But that's a straight forward fix, just takes a few days to deploy.

The system is completely liquid.
There are $464k in user account balances (that can potentially be withdrawn)... but last time I checked we were sitting on almost $900k in cash assets. There's $440k in PayPal alone.

So this is no ponzi that's lost its momentum, and is going to bankrupt as a few people panic & cashout... We've simply incurred a small problem, like hundreds before, these last 3 years... For which we'll get it sorted, and be back to business as usual before you know it.

We just require a bit of patience... the website is still online, you can cashout your balance at any point. We're good... there's just some work to be done, like always!

From Paul:
There was ad issue still in progress yesterday and it looks like some ads were not extended because of that.
Recycle cron is turned off, so there shouldn't be much problem to recover them.

----

So don't worry about it... the programmers will sort out the ads before we turn the ad view process back on.

And i'll do the dividends in a few hours... i've got to pop out first.

The problem is with the ads that came out after the Paid Ads section was disabled.
The ads that were active when the section was disabled were correctly extended, but the ads issued after that time had the usual 18h timer, so they are being recycled... I already lost four 1$ ads, and have other ads issued later than them.

Not complaining as only lost about $4 which is nothing really but not sure when the recycler was turned off...presumably in the last couple of hours as ads were being recycled at 10:30...can't find any since then
