flound1129 seems quite reputable and withdrawing doesn't protect from a fork. It does protect from a hacker robbing the pool, I guess.

Yeah, I started mining SXC before I had a wallet set up, so I let too much accumulate on the pool. Lesson Learned. I am still using the pool however, since I don't believe that the operator was responsible for the fork. I will just cash out regularly.

You're not saying you had 11k+ coins on the pool and not making a payout are you?

I dont have any coins from before the fork the other day i did not recieve any at all. first and last time using multipool

The coins you mind before the fork still exist. The payout after the fork never happened. So those coins should still be around. The pool might have recorded the payout to you but they'll just need to reverse those since any forked payouts made on pre-forked coins were never actually sent.

Forks are super annoying but thankfully pretty rare, even in alt chains. It has been ages since it happened in BTC I believe.

Thank you very much for your assistance in helping me wrap my head around this whole fork thing. I'm wondering though what would happen if I earned some of the coins pre-fork, since I requested the payout post-fork, would all my pre-fork coins be gone?

It wouldn't have made a difference. Remember the "coins" only exist in your wallet because they show up on the blockchain. It isn't like a bank account where money is transferred into it. So when a fork happens, and then gets resolved, any transfers done and new coins created on the fork that didn't survive don't exist. It's like they simply never happened at all. So if you have done auto-payout, once the fork was resolved there would be no record of your payment on the blockchain and no record those coins were ever created in the first place. Your wallet, once it updated to the correct block chain, would show the lower balance without the non-existent coins.

Well, it kind of sucks to lose the coins for 2 full days of mining. I'll just chock it up to a life lesson and use the auto pay feature at all pools I deal with to minimize the loss if something like this happens again.

I received some more, but not all.  It does seem to be fixed now. I'm guessing it won't be possible to "fix" it completely if mining was carried out on two forks, not without a time machine   Some of the mined coins will simply cease to exist.

I think I Might have transferred SXC from your pool when it was forked since it has been hours and I haven't received them yet. I hope something can be done since it was over 11,000 coins. 
Thanks!

I think this has been fixed. I got my payouts (although a day late)

Noticed this a few hours ago as well, according to "my stats" I should have 5.5kSXC, but I only have 4.8k in my wallet. Updates in the News-feed on the home page when it's been fixed would be very welcome. Think I'll stick to WDC for the time being as most other miners seem to be doing

Hey thanks for the fast reply!  Good luck.  In the meantime I'll be mining WDC.

Yep, it appears as though SXC has forked.

I will contact the SXC devs about this.  Hopefully they will know what to do.

Hi,

Sexcoin seems to be active on two or more independent networks or blockchains.  Is that what is known as forked?  Sorry I'm not familiar with the intricacies of how it works.  What I do know is that all was well and I was receiving payouts approximately every half hour from your pool up until about 5 hours ago.  According to the stats on the website, I have been sent a total of 3401 SXC up to the present time.  My wallet has received only 2203, with no transactions in the last 5 hours.

My wallet is connected to the network, synced and receiving blocks every minute or so.  The number of blocks is slightly different to what is reported on your pool site, which leads me to believe that the block chain has forked into two independent networks with my wallet connecting to one and your pool server to the other one.  I downloaded another copy of the client onto another computer connected to the internet from another country (VPS) and when I copied my wallet.dat onto that computer I get the same result - all my initial transactions show up and confirm just fine but nothing since 7:02am NZST (GMT+12).  It is now 2:10pm NZST.

Is there a way to verify that this is the case?  Or to force the wallet to connect to one or the other network?  If there is any tech info on this please point me to it.

Thanks.

Your pool current block: 9746
My wallet current block: 9693, 1 minute ago.

I was hosting a family event all day today.  Sorry for the late reply.

I sent you an email (without a reply). Sexcoin withdrawls are giving errors and when the withdrawl goes through, it still has not shown up in my wallet. Is there something wrong? I'm new to this coin but not to bitcoin or LTC.

Hello:

I am seeing:


while using:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://multipool.in:3333 -u .1 -p --gpu-fan 0-100 --gpu-engine 1200 --gpu-memclock 1200 --intensity 12 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-threads 2

I don't think this is an issue on my end..

I unlocked your account.  Unfortunately I do not see any entries in the LTC shares table for your worker serpah.1.  (not even invalids) Are you sure your miner is connecting to my pool?  Are you sure you're mining on the correct port for LTC?

Username is serpah. Now my account is banned and I can't log on to the website to view my stats.
