Had to give a bump here.

Stratum is NOT flawed. The pool operators are using an inappropriate DIFF1 and so that is why they are experiencing these issues. Scrypt and SHA256 are not affected (Give-Me-Coins pool helped me test it) on 2 open source forks of stratum compatible pool software (stratum-mining and eloipool)

Ahmed

You are wrong about this "Scrypt and SHA256 are not affected".

Same problem is on scrypt too
And what if those using this exploit make their own pool?

Any word on this from pool owners -- was the problem the stratum or the pool set up?

we are doing some tests...

Thanks. Let's hope it is patched fast. Do you want to make a thread in the Alt Currencies subforum to alert all pools? Most people don't check each coin thread in announcement sections.

Allready done on https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5673549

Also, when pool owners or mpos fixs this, i can help them to test fix.

test lotterymining just to be sure

I will test and inform you

thank you :-)

The kgw exploit is real.

The problem is that the software will accept blocks that are timestamped earlier than previous blocks, (for good reasons) up to the median timestamp of the previous 11.  

Kgw counts these as very fast blocks and adjusts the difficulty up by its 20% maximum.  Once.   But you can use that once to roll the timestamp back after five blocks that are long enough to drive the difficulty 20%lower each.  

So the exploit is to start mining your own block chain, time stamping several blocks into the future far enough to get the maximum downward adjustment of difficulty each time.  Then jump backwards in time getting the maximum upward difficulty once.  Rinse, repeat,  and your chain gets ridiculous low difficulty and you mine a whole lot of blocks while advancing your timestamp not much further than the main chain.

When the time in the main block chain catches up, you release your own chain and force a reorganization, which allocates to you all the coins mined for the last umpty ump blocks.


I'm in the process of rewriting KGW for our purposes. I've spend a few hours thoroughly going through the code and I think I can come up with a better implementation that doesn't have these kind of problems. DarkGravity?  Grin

In the crypto world, p2pool is the best representation of the way to mine according to the crypto currency concept.
Each node connected to other and sharing payout for the work submitted by the miners.

Decentralization at is finest ! Smiley

Hey don't missunderstand !!

Running a P2Pool node cost money, 1% fee is nothing compared to how much cost a dedicated server !

Ask Chaeplin and others like Hash2Pool if they're getting rich with a Node Huh?

Miners on my Node should get 6000 DRK before I only don't loose money....

Where'not big pools owners remember, it's P2POOL !

THIS!
the reason i run my node is i like what darkcoin is and where its going. I have the server rented anyway and its way oversized for my purposes. However, running at 0.4% fee is just symbolic fee compared to the server. I dont understand why there are so few miners on my and otehr p2p nodes that seem to be ralaible.
what you adress ?

Choose node closest to you (latency column)

darkcoin P2pool finder

http://darkcoin.mine.nu/

Set up another node for backup.

P2Pool nodes are connected each other.


rich ? no way.


(p2pool owner, show off by domain, drop me pm)

Thanks again for what you do for the DRK community sharing P2Pool-DRK on Github !

It's thanks to this man that DRK P2Pool Network is alive  Cool

guys - can anyone test coinmine pool with modified stratum proxy? I think i know where the problem was on other pools but need a confirmation first.

We're doing it for Darkoin.

I could have set up a MPOS but I love P2Pool and what it means : Decentralised.

Does this stratum issue require any action from miners? E.g. do we need to download a new sgminer or change the stratum+tcp address? I'll be gone for 3 weeks and I hope I can just keep my miner running 24/7 as it is.

No, pool owners need to fix this.

I guess its the pool admins that have to implement the patch.
