About time my state was represented. Houston here.

Fixed a small issue that caused a few autopayouts to be delayed a few hours.

One thing to note is this: If you only send/receive coins, but do not create additional addresses, additional backups are not required.

Okay thanks, there are some lines where there is “infinity” what do I do about that? How do I work out the speed? Add them all together and divide by 60?

Or can I just use this:

[/quote]

your command gets (from the last 60, only 1 data point).

You will need to take the 60 from the previous one, validate that the number is a valid number), and turn that into the hashrate. I do not have my notes on that in front of me, but essentially take the average, and from that, plug it into the hashrate formula (something like H = h / t)

Format it like the following.

[s]Manual payouts disabled again. My baindaid did not stop the issue. Will deal with it later, once I calm down about it.

For now, use automatic payouts.[/s]

Manual Payouts have been fixed and reenabled.

Adding captcha does not solve it, will have to rewrite the code to be cron-based.

Is there a change in miner protocol? My CPU miners are having massive connect issues. I’m going to have to go find another pool.

“Couldn’t connect. Please check pool server and port”

Been happening for about 3 days now.

Will come back if you get it fixed

[s]All my miners are going fine…

What miner are you using? Are you using stratum or LP?[/s]

I found an intermittent issue I believe you were talking about. That has been fixed.

For what my phone cost I would rather not reduce its lifespan for no real reason.
[/quote]

It is more of a novelty or proof of concept. It would not be profitable even if the phone was free I would imagine.

I really want to use this…but I hate having to hand over my cell number/verification documents to companies that are clearly forwarding them over to the feds in order to be considered “legitimate” businesses. If and when the shit really hits the fan with crypto and the law, this is not going to be fun. Am I wrong to be paranoid about this?

any website not requesting such information running off of FIAT (at least in the US), will either A) be taken down, or b) be taken down eventually.

no, it has to do with pool luck.

With PPS, it doesnt matter how often the pool finds a share, you get paid, although in the long run, it should be net equal (minus fees) or one of the two parties is getting screwed.

With PPLNS, a payout goes back 20k shares. So if you have shares in there, and the pool is lucky (finds more shares than it should based on hashrate), you will get paid more than the PPS equivalent (Think of the times pools find 2-3 blocks in succession). However, if the pool is on an unlucky streak, you can just as easily not get paid for some shares, or have them count for less than their intended number of blocks, thus giving you less payout than compared to PPS. Again, in the long run, minus fees, it should be net equal.

Difficulty increases/decreases can play a small part as well, I guess.

Epic explanation that cleared up some of the witchcraft for me too. Thanks d2!

I think the simplest rule of thumb is, if you’re mining 24/7 it doesn’t really matter what system you use to mine on. If you are a stop/start miner the PPS (Pay-Per-Share) is your friend.

The biggest difference between p2pools PPLNS and mmcfe’s (the standard pool) PPLNS is that with a p2pool system, once you up are up to speed, as you are identified via your payment address, there is no 1000000 share waiting time if you swap pools. Also with p2pool the coins are mined to your wallet so they show as “Mined” rather than waiting for an auto payout from mmcfe pool. This means there’s no mmcfe to go belly up and “forget” to pay you (had this a number of times with a few shady pools).

The drawbacks of p2pool are that you have to wait for 120 confirms before you can spend your coins where as an mmcfe pool may payout after 20/30 confirms. Also there is the “dust” which is the transaction costs involved in many small payment transactions into your wallet and then you try to send again… you can end up with 1ftc fees! However if you are keeping them for a while that fee disappears and becomes irrelevant.

That is correct, although to go off-topic, and argue a bit, PPLNS doesn’t pay less for a start and stop miner, it just has a much greater variance, sometimes, it pays more, other-times, less.

New host online. Let me know if any issues arise, [s]still working on a fix for manual payments, for now, continue to use automatic payout.[/s]

Manual Payouts fixed. You now must fill out a captcha to withdraw. You can thank scammers for that extra step.

any idea how to get your FTC out? auto payout doesn’t seem to be working nor does on-demand?
[/quote]

Im having the same problem and sent a pm to the owner. Neither auto payout nor manual lets me get my feathercoins out.
[/quote]

Auto Payment has been fixed.

Working on securing a different server, hopefully will be migrated within a day or two.

My pool seems to have disappeared?

It seems to have gone down again last night. I woke up and my miners couldn’t connect this morning. :-\
[/quote]

I cannot catch a break. It is once again back up. Do you think A nuke for China could be bought with FTC?

So a lot of people, me included, harp on about how resilient p2pool mining is in the case of a DDoS attack on the network. This is a by product of the decentralized way in which it is intended to run. i.e. lots of smaller nodes spread all over the globe working together as a pool rather than 3 or 4 big pools.

A big pool will become a target and if it falls we loose a large percentage of our hashrate. In addition, all of the miners get kicked off of the server (in the best case) and they fail over to a backup pool. Issue is that then you have to wait for the PPLNS to ramp up, that pool will likely also be under attack. you have to keep track of all of your accounts and so on.

Of course the big attraction to pool mining over solo mining is the reduced difficulty and reduced variance when compared to solo mining. No one wants to mine for a week and find nothing!

Step up P2Pool mining. It seems to fit perfectly in the middle yet not many people use it - why?

You get the additional help of other miners to bring the block times down as per standard pool mining, there’s no PPLNS ramp up time (provided you keep the same payout address across nodes), you get to host your own node or use someone elses and it makes it real hard for attackers to takes down 100s of nodes compared to 2 or 3 servers.

Should we be miking a real push towards p2pool to protect our network? are there better ways?

Discuss…

what is wrong with miners having backup pools?

Pool & website should be back up now.

Manual payments offline until I get around to fixing it, use automatic payouts instead.

One exists. Pool ops who are running this and have not rewritten this eice of code need to disable manual withdraws immediately.

PM if you want more info.

back up after a short website downtime

“You can DDOS me down, but my Cisco will prevail”

The webpage was down, but mining was actually working for about 75% of the people. Weaksauce DDOS try harder next time.

Although someone did find a vulnerability in the manual payout, and took over 442.817438 FTC from the pool. There goes my profits for the past few months :|

For the moment, manual payouts are disabled. Automatic payouts are working fine. If you have any issues getting your FTC out, let me know.
