Before proceeding I would like to take the time to thank eThought for his service, we have found it to be very fair and stable, the miners and I are very happy. If this were ebay I would write "a+++++++++ top service!".

eThought, I have been studying the hashrate graph over several days, and I feel it would be nice to tweak the network hashrate display.

When you call 'getnetworkhashps' on the daemon it can take two parameters which are 'blocks' and 'height'.

Whilst many may think hashrate is measured, it is actually just an estimate from the average times of the last [number] blocks, similar to how difficulty is calculated.

The default 'blocks' parameter is 120, in Bitmark's case that is a 2 hour sample. What I have found is that large changes in network hashrate take a very long time to filter through to getnetworkhashps, it can take an hour or more to reflect an addition of 30% to the network hashrate.

So, would it be possible for you to play with that number, to see how it reflects on the chart?

What does this mean for my accumulated shares?  If I should stop mining LTC now would my shares eventually be paid?

Also, is it possible for you to support MazaCoin?  http://www.mazacoin.org/

Thanks for the reply.

Litecoin shares accumulate for 35 days. After this period the system basically turns in a PPLNT (Pay per last N time) of 35 days.

So as long as a block is found within 35 days of you mining Litecoin on the pool you will be paid out your proportion.

Will add Mazacoin later tonight.

Has anyone received a payout since the last outage?  I have been mining over a week and no payout.  I updated my payment address since the outage.  I tried contacting the site admin via BitMessage but so far no reply, just a message received ack.

Hi -

Payouts are working as expected.

We only pay out when a block is found as we pay on a proportional system not PPS. If the pool does not find a block then there are no payouts until one is found.

Because you have been mining Litecoin on the pool and there is only (approx.) 3000KH/s on the Litecoin pool a block has not been found since you started mining on the pool (infact a Litecoin block has not been found for weeks).

Sorry, but that is the way it is.

I think we will remove the Litecoin pool when / if the next block is found as the difficulty is just way to high for the small amount of hash powe the pool has.

Yes, all stratum servers are back online and shares are now being processed and will be paid as usual.

It seems, at this stage, the coins lost were relatively small in number so the pool will be able to cover all losses. Payments are still on hold until I can re-credit accounts that were affected - writing a script to do that now. Once that is done website will go back on line.

Please note all password and payment addresses needed to be reset as the attacker was able to 'sniff' passwords and changed users payout addresses once he logged into their accounts. As we have no way of knowing what passwords and / or payout addresses have been compromised decided it would be safest to reset both so attacker cannot login to accounts that were compromised and threshold payments don't go to the attackers addresses. I know its a major pain in the ass but better than losing more coins.

Ahh! Fantastic news! It seems Miningpool.co is well on it's way to settling back to normal again.

I agree with changing passwords. A vulnerability like that could have cost users hundreds of coins, or even worse if the imaginable had happened and if you hadn't have caught it in time. Once the site goes live again, a change of password will be done, and likewise.. I hope.. A change of payout address.

I presume other users of the site who are unaware of the vulnerability will be notified on the main page that a change of password will be advisable?

It's a major pain in the arse that is worth it when it comes to currency.

I expect the system and website to be back online within a couple of hours.

A full update of what happened will be posted once everything is back online and secure.

Anyone who logged in to the website in the last 12 or so hours is very strongly advised to change their passwords on other websites if they use the same password as they used on the MiningPool.co website.


Well I've just started my miner on the MegaCoin pool, and it's received a connection and now it is mining at full throttle again.. I suspect you've fixed the issue with the pools? The site is still offline of course, I'm just presuming that all that I mine now, will still be taken into account when the site comes back online?

I just wanted to take the time and tell you that your pool is superb. The reaction time to the OpenSSL Heartbleed was quick, and I trust the repair is of the highest priority.

Your pool is fantastic, and I just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am of all your hard work.

Thank you.

Luckily the damage appears to be small in terms of coins lost, which is the most important thing.

MiningPool.co has been taken offline!

We have discovered a security breach. At first glance we believe the security issue to be related to the Openssl 'heartbleed' vulnerability disclosed today.

Luckily the issue was caught very quickly. The damage could have been ALOT worse.

An intruder was able to withdraw a relatively small amount of coins from the pool.

Please expect extended downtime as we investigate further and make sure the system is safe to go back online.

Sincere apologies for the delays.

Apologies for the downtime on some pools. Server de1.miningpool.co was down.

The front end seems to be okay...but some coin clients are down as well as some stratum servers. It's been this way for a few days. Don't know why it takes this long to fix it...especially if he is trying to get more miners and he won't fix what's wrong to keep the miners he already has.
