When you refer to "Assemble a new BTC block with the MM information in the coinbase and push it out." - how does one do that with p2pool? Or is it even possible?

Can't help on this one unfortunately, I've never used p2pool so I don't have any idea how it assembles work, same with merged mining via p2pool.  Different drives for the coins is definitely one good way to split the load when new blocks hit though.

Does anyone know if it's possible to do what eleuthria suggests above with p2pool?

Uh, sure. Just get N hard drives, and put each altcoin on a dedicated one...

 It actually had nothing to do with failure to upgrade or not.
They (as well as F2Pool) were/are not checking that blocks are valid before they mine on top of them.
The repercussions are that they will extend invalid blockchains, deceiving SPV nodes with false confirmations and losing the mined bitcoins.


I figured they would eventually lose those bitcoin"s I was wondering if there users are going to be the end or will the problem go further than that? As far as extending invalid block chains will that do anything more that use up space?

Well, compared to certain other pools, our change over went very smoothly I think......

Just waiting for a glut of complaints from those who didn't upgrade yet....... Tongue

Bitmain got caught with their pants down on Antpool it seems.  They neglected to upgrade.  Maybe now their users will realize Antpool isn't close to what Bitmain advertises it to be?

What are the repercussions for them failing to upgrade properly?

I just saw a V2 block rejected in my home bitcoind log ... so it would seem the V3 switch over has happened.
I posted this comment coz I thought it was clearly of interest to p2pool and the late change over, to know when V3 happened.

Yeah, I saw that too - but I'm not at all surprised either, if their history is anything to go by. I'm sure it won't be the last time either...... Wink

We are now exclusively switched to v14.0. All v13 miners have been excluded following BIP66 taking effect.

The fact that we came so close to 95% in a less than a week speaks volumes...

Thank you Forrest for your work!

Only the hash rate display isn't working, everything else is fine:



I got cryptoglance working with it now though - had the wrong setting, I did  Tongue

Hiya JB,

Regarding kanos latest firmware:

I upgraded my S3s to use this.

....did you manage to get the hash rate stats up on mmonitor/cryptoglance by any chance? If so, what flags are you using?

Thanks.
Since you asked in both threads... figured I'd reply to you in both Smiley.  No, I don't use any monitoring software applications.  You might want to give mdude77 a shout out to see if he's planning to update his app to support the standard APIs (that kano uses with his updated stuff) in addition to the Bitmain ones.  Not sure how much effort it would be on his part, but it's worth asking.  Of course, this is assuming you're using his monitoring app Smiley.  If not, check out the threads for those apps and ask the developers.

I wasn't aware of any outstanding issues with S3s not monitoring properly in my app.

Kano's newly released updated S3 software seems to have broken some monitoring tools for some people because it uses standard cgminer APIs and not Bitmain's altered versions of them.  I'm not sure how your app behaves since I don't use any monitoring apps... I was just letting p3yot33at3r know what kano had written in his thread, hoping to steer him in the right direction.

Yeah, posted it in kanos thread by mistake - deleted it as soon as I realized Roll Eyes  Grin
Appears somebody got crypto glance working with kano's patch for the S3.  Check out the post in kano's pool thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11783543
