We where today attacked with a scam attack, it has been dealt with, and im considering legal action for trying to
cheat the pool, and thereby the users out of coins...
It's good that you want to help your miners out. Much respect. But Im curious as to what exactly happened? I noticed the official pool is still getting A LOT of orphan blocks. Could there be something else deeper going on?
Ok, to summerise, without disclosing too much info for others to try on other pools:
that guy with the huge "mining speed" was using a weakness in the stratum code, i notised a weakness in the way the pool got the shares
and set defences up to prevent that kind of cheating, in reality he did not have that kind of mining power, and his shares wasnt worth anything to the pools overall progress. if you look at all the blocks discovered, why did hes miner not discover ANY blocks at all, we should have been getting loads of blocks with that kind of speed, so i investigated, together with evan we set up a fix, now, next time he tries, the system will automatically ban him for a week. he tried connection through a proxy but already he was unable to get that kind of speed that he had at first.
so that tells me it works as it should.. i also banned his ips from the server. and disabled automatic payout from his account.
regarding the orphants on the official pool, i think we got that sorted out as well...
Interesting, I kind of suspected that this might be linked to the orphans in the main pool also, and something was clearly dodgy there. There are a lot of people trying to exploit this coin. Either because they want to try and stop it taking off, or because they see great potential in it, and want to get their hands on as many as they can by any means.
Glad you guys got it sorted.
