yup i got my payment from niceman, every coin accounted for.

Edric's so chivalrous ^_^

i should pinch myself, is this real? pool operators helping other pool operators?

fuck me this community is the best

i wonder what i'm going to do with all of my octo fortunes... probably buy a ticket to macau and gamble it all away on octo 888 slot machines xD

This is the exact problem I was having with the updated wallet and my pool.. Attempting to send out any "extra" coins above what was locked up for my users resulted in that error and it STILL counted the coins off of the balance, making my pool appear in the negative. Perplexing.

This is why my pool is actually still running the first released wallet. It's got some issues and an occasional stuck payout but nothing like that. Whatever the code they put in to "properly handle conflicted transactions" as referenced by their last commit needs a better look-over. Hopefully that issue is solved when they hard fork for 188 blocks. Crossing my fingers, because with that error, I had to constantly babysit my pool.

Thanks for help. Really, new version is broken and can't send payments.
Now installed version 1.0.0.1 and all payouts was processed without problem.

they are definitely trying to snipe every 888 block, it's not really a secret, that's exactly what they're doing. just 2 things to keep in mind:

1) they do not get every 888 block, they try, but only get about half the network bonus blocks

2) those bonus blocks are split between many miners, they aren't all going to one person. again, not a secret, i made an account and tried it for myself, it's just lonely me on the network and then BAM +400MH out of nowhere for one block that they *might get...

if you

A) want more octo profit for your mining time (assuming constant mining)

and

B) you want to stop this pool from attempting to snipe the 888 blocks, then you just have to put more hash on the OTHER pools which are NOT exploiting. it's simple. the more we have elsewhere the harder it is for them to get any, and they waste their time, their miners time, and will soon not deem it "profitable" to switch.

i for one do not support this block sniping tactic, so i'm not mining there. i do like the pool however, even though the coins that i did mine there last night are still stuck in a "pending" transaction which is odd... won't even give me a tx ID, says "pending" 7 hours old.

Yessir.
@niceman Seems like CoinMine is one of the multipool exploiting the 888 block reward random bug ...

see the last block found, almost only 888 one !

Great publicity man ...

lmao! so that's where all the bonus blocks went! it's not just the last... the majority are bonus blocks compared to the normal 88.



While I am not certain, I do have my doubts that they are actually exploiting the bonus blocks.

Since the probability of getting the bonus block is 1/8 it should mean that it is not guaranteed to occur every 8 blocks.
This is similar to what occurs when flipping a coin, flip it 100 times and it will not land 50 on one side and 50 on the other.

They may have been lucky and landed several bonus blocks... consecutively Cheesy

true and i have no idea if it's an exploit or not... but that is still a ridiculous number of payouts with 888... and that's all i could screen shot. when you kept scrolling down it was still 888 blocks. i know when i check my transactions from fusionhash, there are no where near that many 888 blocks... i'm usually splitting 88 blocks and extremely "lucky" to split an 888 block.

nonetheless, i have checked it before and was curious why it seemed hard to get an 888 block but this was the first time i've even clicked on a multipool and saw that many 888 blocks.

even if it's luck or some accidental exploit caused by the way multipools switch, the perception when you see that is that they are def gaining 888 blocks by some advantage.

honestly with the fix coming it doesn't matter anymore. i was just surprised to see it when i clicked over. i expected to see a few more 888 blocks... not the whole page. i should've counted how many 888 over  88 blocks to show the %.

nice coin to mine, when mintpal will list it?

probably in 1-2 months. the devs have said they'll pitch in BTC for votes as we get closer to the top. keep voting guys! i voted at least 12 times yesterday. as i mentioned earlier, if you set your auto logout to 24 hours instead of 45 minutes, it's ALOT EASIER! just keep a tab open and check it whenever you think about it Smiley btw that's in profile settings. cheers!

Where is no any bug. In cryptocurrencies not exist such thing as random blocks. How your wallet will accept blocks if it will be random?
Every wallet match block reward it have calculated locally and compare with block reward accepted from network and accept block possible only if this numbers absolutely match.



Why do i get less reward when we find bigger blocks?



i tried this too lastnight, i found a normal 88 block on there (after finding nothing for an hour) and when i did i was the only one on their network, so i got all 88 coins in the block.

they're a profit-switching pool, so when they decide to mine OCTO on their "auto" setting, they move like 200MH from other users over to try and get that one 888 block, so the rewards are alot smaller for everyone who gets them. then they divert those 200MH away for the next normal block. and they aren't even finding every bonus block this way, i'd say less than half actually.

this is why it's more profitable for me at least to get in on ALL the blocks if i'm going to be using my time anywhere. their PPLNS is only for 10 minutes, so if it takes 40 minutes to find a block (cause they only add extra mining power to the pool for the bonus blocks) then you're only getting credited for the last 10 minutes of your work.

imo there's better pools out there for octo at the moment, but it's still a really cool site, will look into it for real profit auto-switching (and not converting to BTC) for when i've had my fill of octo.

Wow, the winner of the latest mintpal vote sure is something. XXLcoin Max Coins: 700,000,000,000. Price 0.00000001 LTC, Sell orders at 0.00000002. Cannot understand how the coin even won, probably voting with a botnet or something like that. I want to buy octos, not coins like that.

There's nothing more to say about coins like this...
It's time for the gamechanger. (After the bonusblocks are over  Grin)
