Ugh, should have gotten to this sooner, sorry! Going through everything in one go is not fun
any chance to get API access for coin switching?
Not yet, but I'll get it added, no ETA, working on other stuff first.
What's wrong with Hetzner? And do you have suggestions for a better host? (because hetzner has issues, I'm just curious if our issues are the same)
1. Hetzner sells you Destop PCs as server.
2. They null route and block your server for many hours if you get a small DoS attack lol
3. Germany has insane laws regarding internet
For a european network you should choose a server in the Netherlands (i.e. i3d.net) or in France (i.e. OVH).
Thanks for the server suggestions. I don't care that the "servers" are desktops, I need to have extras anyways, this way is just cheaper. The problem I have is they will null route quite small attacks, which I work around by having a pool of IPs, so if they null route an IP, I can just switch everything to new IPs. It would be the same with other providers, but they might allow larger attacks. (none will allow multi GBit attacks for extended periods of time, at least not cheaply)
I have an idea which would be uber-cool and most probably not TOO hard to implement: "Pay-out and switch pool" (short POASP).
With POASP, my account settings would have a limit for the currently mined currency and a select box with the available pools (like you already have for pool-switching.
I would enter a limit, the pool to switch to, and once the limit is reached the system would do a (complete) payout for this currency and switch to this preselected pool.
And because POASP would be a currency/pool-dependent setting I could do this for other currencies as well.
I looked, but it is not quite as easy as it sounds. I'll add it to my list of things to do.
Just joined hash.so and this coin switching thing is brilliant! But... I have yet to get it working. The problem is this:
....
And that´s it, my workers are still mining CSC.
As discussed in IRC, If you end up mining CSC on port 1337 it means username or worker name has incorrect capitalization (UsErname vs. username). I'll need to change it so that it works consistently and correctly, or that you get an error if you do it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I really LOVED it that you pre-announced the start of Rubycoin and the pool was ready to start :thumbsup:
Will you do this more often?
Thanks! I will try to do it more often, coin launches are fun
I'll get fastcoin added to the pool. It's an annoyingly fast coin, so its profitably might not be as great as it looks because it can have a lot of orphans.
