Hello IP address 46.165.208.105, nice try running a script to try and SQL inject user logins. but please don't test the security of the pool without asking me, thanks.

There's a miner on the main stratum server that is sending invalid hashes and getting H-not-zero responses as a result. It looks like they haven't noticed. The hashes look to be scrypt based. If You are user "Lxxxxxe" ('x' are other characters, blanked out to prevent revealing the name) then you might want to check your configuration. It looks like you have an asic and it's being wasted.

There are two miners on the stratum2 server that appear to be asics but are forcing a difficulty of 1. This is causing quite a large bandwidth usage on the server. I've forced that stratum server to send a minimum of difficulty 8 shares as a result. If you're on that server please check your password to see if you're configured for difficulty one shares.

I hope I'm not alone with this - but I very much appreciate the work you're dooing with the pool! Especially since there IS a risk for you (yes - real money - and not "just" the risk of "complaining" users) you HAVE to make a profit from the poll. Not just for reserves - but also for your work and risk!

I would not mind a higher fee. Especially in a PPS pool!

PLEASE make a decent profit! You've earnd it!
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. At the moment I'm planning to add DGM to the pool and offer both PPS and DGM. The choice of which reward scheme you want would be based on the server you mine on. I will probably have a higher fee for PPS and a lower fee for DGM. I'm running DGM at the moment in testing and it seems to be working fine.

The pool had another 4x difficulty block, continuing its run of bad luck. Thankfully it was followed by a couple of short blocks putting us back to averaging 1.5x difficulty since the difficulty change. After seeing what's happened to Ozcoin, where a PPS bad luck run caused reserve issues and they had to disable PPS, I've re-enabled my DGM payment method testing code and am running that alongside PPS to test and compare results.

I may offer DGM alongside with PPS at some point, or leave it there to enable a switchover if PPS bad luck results in pool reserves getting dangerously low. I like PPS for its simplicity but I'd rather switch to DGM than go bankrupt if the reserves run low. Normally I'd just buy more reserves but the bitcoin price has risen so high since I started the pool that's not really an option when block swings can be 10,000 USD.

There were some pool restarts in the last 20 minutes while I added some statistics and monitoring data.

(@doublec: Or did you change this meanwhile?)
This hasn't changed, all addresses remain read only. To add an address you need to create a new account.

What's up with the run of bad luck we're having? The last block was a 6.7x difficulty and a few blocks back there was an over 4x difficulty. Since the difficulty change the pool has averaged 1.6x difficulty. Bring on the counterbalancing good luck please!

So the old accounts get exchanged before btc payment?

Click withdraw.

If you don't own the address anymore, you don't get the coins...

setup a new account and move forward.

How are altcoins sent?
You cannot add an altcoin address to an existing mining account (@doublec: Or did you change this meanwhile?)
You have to open a new account, and while you do so you need to provide all the coin's addresses you want to merge-mine.
No one can change the addresses afterwards. (Most exchanges and wallet providers give you temporary addresses. Do not use these.)

How are altcoins sent?
The same way bitcoins are. Press the withdraw button on the user page.

Ya, for now, I had a friend write a Windows service to screen scape the site and send me an e-mail, but I can turn it on or off Wink
Too late for you now, but for the future if you want to avoid screen scraping there's now a user stats JSON api:

Code:
http://mmpool.bitparking.com/userstats/username

Replace 'username' with the username and you get a JSON result of hash rate and balances.

haha, yeah, I'll pass this along to my "developer" who this probably means something to, haha.   

Thanks for the heads up though!

This sounds awesome.  Thank you for this offer!  However, I'm curious if we decide to shutdown or mine a more profitable coin for a day or two, how would we be able to turn the notifications off?

Once you have it setup where we can change the hash rate minimum on the user end (add it as an input on our account page?), I wouldn't want to be locked in.  Otherwise, my phone would be blowing up if I decide to mine PPC for the day or something, heh.
Good point, that would be annoying. Best to wait till I have an interface set up allowing you to set and edit the alerts.

Would definitely be easier if it is integrated into the site!  Awesome stuff doublec!

At some point I plan to add support for notifying miners if their miner's stop mining. I'm open to suggestions on how best to handle the notification trigger. For my own server down notifications I'm using Pushover to send notifications to my phone. As a stopgap until I've implemented something for miners, if you'd like to receive pushover notifications if you're miner hash rate drops you can bitmessage me at BM-BbgTgGa6LX3yYqwJSwdwrzysvfWjM2u6 (or post here if you don't mind it being public, or PM me, or email the bitparking admin address) with your account name, your pushover user key and the hash rate minimum you want to receive a notification and I'll set a notification up for you.

Can you please explain why speed in statistic http://mmpool.bitparking.com/user/ is 15% lower then i see in cgminer on my side ?
There were some server restarts today to try and track down the issue causing the stratum server crash that has been occurring on the mornings. Hopefully I've done the last of these just now to resolve the issue.


Ok, thank you.

Hope it will be stable
