So which pool should we be mining on?

Multipool was patched last night.

multipool was patched last night. You are free to mine FTC here on port 3337.

There appears to be some sort of issue with the FTC client. I’m not sure whether it’s related to the attacks or not, but in my client, ‘mintime’ was almost 2 hours off from the current time for a while, resulting in many rejected shares.

It’s still over 30 minutes off as I write this:

[code]$ feathercoind getblocktemplate {} | grep ntime
“mintime” : 1374235229,
$ date +%s
1374232575
$ bc
1374235229-1374232575
2654
[/code]

This caused 100% rejected shares on my pool for about 3 hours until I patched stratum with a larger allowance for incorrect ntime.

I just wanted to point out that flound was kind enough to manually swing multipool to FTC giving us an extra 400mh/s to combat these attacks. Thanks flound!

We moved on there automatically, actually… But some of my miners were asking me to disable it. I have offered to pay out any blocks that are orphaned while we’re on FTC to limit their risk.

Just upgraded our infrastructure to be redundant and added EU pool. Check us out!

up to 260 MH

I hear there is a mini army of people looking for a pool… Multipool is up and running!

Give Me FTC shut off withdrawals. This has effectively killed the attack.

Because of the high hashrate the attacker was also overwhelmed by automatic coin choice pools.

The result was that many scrypt miners turned to FTC which snowballed. The attacker still managed to get some coin. But again this shows that a 51% injection and a full attack are different things.

To fully attack you must:

Gain 51% of the mining power.
SUSTAIN the 51% mining power.
Orphan legitimate block generation.
Get people to confirm your blocks.

There is a misconception that mining helps the attacker. Yes, it helps the attacker to confirm some of his false coins. BUT, as soon as the rest of the network reaches higher rate than his, the ledger gets reorganized.

This would have been a hell of a lot worse without automatic coin choice pools. They routed a ton of hashpower at FTC. This broke the attacker’s control of the blockchain.

On behalf of Multipool, you’re welcome.

But seriously, we did not have the hash rate to match the attackers, even when the multiport switched to FTC.

So I want to start mining again but I don’t know WHICH pool is right?

fcpool? give-me-ftc?

or is there another?

It would be great if someone can compile a list of trusted nodes and distribute it to the pool owners. That way we can all make sure we’re talking to one another.

I am planning to do something along those lines.

The reward system in place is time-based PPLNS.

Currently offering the following coins:
Bitcoin: stratum+tcp://multipool.in:3332/
Litecoin: stratum+tcp://multipool.in:3334/
Terracoin: stratum+tcp://multipool.in:3333/
Feathercoin: stratum+tcp://multipool.in:3337/
Mincoin: stratum+tcp://multipool.in:3339/

Eventually I will lower confirmations to 20 for all currencies. Need some reserve coins first though.

My eventual vision for this pool is something different than I’ve seen before. More details will be forthcoming soon.

Currently PPLNS only but I plan to add a PPS option on the pools once we have generated enough reserves to get through dry spells.
