Is the ecoining pool still up? Chrome won't let me log onto it because of something that expired.
Well, just check back one page here. I asked two good questions for the health of the coin and not one response.
Sorry, we tried contacting the pool operator for you back when you posted this, but we did not get a response. We will try contacting again. The pool seems to be up and running though. In the meantime, can you confirm whether login is still not working? Have you tried any other browser to see if that helps? I will report back to let you know if we were able to get a response from the pool runner.
Also, I’m not sure if you associated health of the network with a lack of response or mining not working. Peercoin is secured through proof of stake only, so mining can’t effect the health of the network. Also as for lack of response, I explained above that we were not able to get a response from the pool operator. I should have responded here to let you know though, so I apologize for that. We have been very busy lately getting the v0.6 release ready, so it unfortunately slipped my mind.
I did just try again with two browsers (as I did the first time) and getting this error:
Netscape:
Your connection is not secure
The owner of ecoining.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website.
The advanced tab in Chrome shows:
ecoining.com normally uses encryption to protect your information. When Google Chrome tried to connect to ecoining.com this time, the website sent back unusual and incorrect credentials. This may happen when an attacker is trying to pretend to be ecoining.com, or a Wi-Fi sign-in screen has interrupted the connection. Your information is still secure because Google Chrome stopped the connection before any data was exchanged.
You cannot visit ecoining.com right now because the website uses HSTS. Network errors and attacks are usually temporary, so this page will probably work later.
Thanks for the additional info. I was just commenting because I've mined Peercoin before but don't like mining some coins unless I can log into their website. I am currently mining DEM without logging in but they sent out frequent payments. ecoining I believe was a longer buildup before payment.
