It's me and my friends. Shares are kept in the database, which i will move over to the new server as well, of course.

Are you hosting a pushpool yourself? Doesn't the pool save the amount of shares you submitted to your account so that your progress is automatically saved to your account?

The answer on your second question will heavily depend on how similar the two machines are you are moving between.

Yes, I'm hosting a pushpool myself. I don't know... All I know is that it puts shares into a database, that's neat and all, but does the progress actually save on the litecoind "account" ?

Oh and the second question, well it's basicly the same machine, one more core and double the ram. Same Ubuntu image.

@StevenRoose Also, another question... If pushpoold crashes, and i force restart the whole server with shutdown -r now. That progrss is saved as well? I hope?

I changed the title, now I upvoted. You need to know that Bitcoin doesn't have such a thing as "progress". Mining is about trying a random puzzle, every hash your computer calculates has an equal chance of finding a block, regardless of how long you have been looking for that block.
