can someone plz send me an invite ? thx

There is no point in going to that pool. We are trying to spread hashpower across pools, otherwise this coin will die... That pool already has around 80-90% of the network hashrate, we really should not be doing this......

Why pay for fees? Mindfox.Net is a 0% fee PROP pool.

Donations are welcome but not required.

Hammer this coin in a clever way. Mine at Mindfox.Net Thorcoin pool.

Mindfox.Net has been re-enforced with a new server which should provide faster browsing experience.
The quality of stratum and pool software is of course the same (if not enhanced, since the new server has more than just 2 cores and 2GBs of RAM Wink )

Pool Settings:
URL: http://thor.pools.mindfox.net
STRATUM:   stratum+tcp://stratum.thor.pools.mindfox.net
PORT:   3342
Username:   Weblogin.Worker
Password:   Worker Password

If you use a command-line miner, type:

./cgminer --scrypt  -o stratum+tcp://stratum.thor.pools.mindfox.net:3342 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password



We are not professionals
We do not own expensive hardware
We only do what we know best: provide a rock steady and free pool

Peeps, the cryptopool.eu has
9.1 GH out of 11 GH
on the network. i think this coin is in serious trouble if people dont spread out their hashpower..... Dont let this coin die!! I have already pointed my miners at another pool and highly suggest everyone else does so too ASAP

pryzh, I really wish people will listen more to you than me.

I've alerted us about this many hours ago but I didn't see any reaction from those that should have done something about it...

Maybe they don't consider it a major risk for the coin, as long as the fees keep coming to the wallet

We did talk about cryptopool and you claimed it wasnt because of ddos it went down (when you do not have any evidence or knowledge why it went down), I dont need to "admit" anything just as much as you will never admit you could be wrong.

If you believe I write to flame you because of the fun of it, then think again.

Anyhow, you can keep believe that you are right, its fine, I will drop it from now on and will not reply to you anymore.

Oh and btw, yes I know the admins so I do know why it happened.

I do not recall talking about cryptopool. I remember you posting that it's funny that my pool is up while all others are down (getting attacked as you mentioned).
You also talked specifically about Zeus (which was your fact that it was a DDoS problem and they were under attack) while at the same time I was making contact with zeus pool admin to help them rectify the problem with the hashing algorithm. The admin of zeus pool himself verified what I stated but still, you were not convinced.
Now, you claim that you know the admins of cryptopool and that you know exactly what the problem was. Well, for the last part, I tend to believe what you're saying, because I also saw to cryptopool's banner that they were under attack. Maybe that's what they thought it was happening, I don't know. We're talking about pools that have default settings left in their pool, what can I say...

And to save you the search, I gathered the posts that I'm referring to:

thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net is painfully slow
thor.cryptopool.eu  now is running but it was down few minutes ago
thor.cipherpool.com didn't find any block so far
thor.zeuspool.com is down
thorcoin.coinspool.net is down

just look at difficulty
it was 90 1 hour ago
now is 52
next is 46
You are right only for the web browsing @ thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net. Stratum works perfect and pool calculates shares and distributes coins normally (which is what really is about, isn't it? )

The browsing issue is not exactly an issue but more of because of the redirection of all resources to the pool itself.
If I'm not mistaken, thorcoin.pools.mindfox.net is the only pool that hasn't brought down to it's knees because of the mining load. We did whatever possible to stay online and continue to provide stratum and pool calculations for everyone to use.

I'm just saying this because the way it is presented gives bad reputation to the pool and it's a shame because I strongly believe that the people behind that pool deserves credits for their hard work keeping the pool up, when all other pools went down again and again and again...

The funny thing here is that more than 2-3 pools getting DDoS at the same time while mindfoxs pool is still up, if you read some posts above you would had seen it was because of DDoS and not because of many miners. Talking bad about other pools that they cant handle the load when they actually getting attacked and only 1 pool is up and it is urs.

there is no doubt your hard working deserves credit as i think your pool is the only one that doesn't charge any fee
but your pool was down at some point too
i say it because i've been observing all pools carefully for last 8 hours
and in my cgminer setting it was one of my failover server and it failed so many times
i believe the browsing issue is an real issue too, because i cant even check my status in there as i am not behind my rig all the times

yes his pool was down 1 or 2 times for a very short period other than that its working very well (besides the website thats very slow but thats not that important) so credit for that

the other pools seem to have alot more troubles so the difficulty and nethashrate was going up and down alot the last days...but every few hours its breaking new records it seems to steadily go up, it was over 100 difficulty already at one point, right now its rising again (from 68 now) since the other pools are coming up again it seems...

when there are more pools i guess the hashrate will get more stable and you wont see as many giant hiccups anymore, maybe some poolowners want to give this a try

DDoS protection doesnt automaticly mean that you are 100% protected and you know this already so why do you even mention that?

Yeah you sat up all night when the ddos was happening right? Its not the first time it happens either. Sorry but I do not believe 1 word you are saying here.

"You will understand that all the above is true, just by checking the hashing rate of your miner: Does it really have that amount of power with other coins/algorithms? "

What does my hashrate have to do with anything?

I have been trying to tell you that it was not DDoS, it was a huge amount of shares waiting to be inserted to the DB. At the point where stratum would seize all operations and try to write all buffered shared to the db. Maybe you prefer to believe whatever you want to believe which is fine with me. The difference is that I'm not accusing you of anything for doing so.
I referred to your hashrate hoping that you could understand what I'm talking about.

Believing what I say or not is your prerogative and I can't say what you can or can't do. Besides, one can't have friends everywhere, right? I will just take a note not to ask you to become a follower of me in twitter Wink


I know for a fact it was DDoS since it happened on more than 1 pool at the same time, who are you trying to fool here?

I know for a fact it was DDoS since it happened on more than 1 pool at the same time, who are you trying to fool here?
So, let me get this straight. Your fact is that because all of the pools went down at the same time, it was a DDoS right?
Which is more likely:
a) Someone pays a vast amount of money, in order to create a huge attack against 3-4 sites under DDoS protection that are pools for a new, still without official value coin, or
b) All the other pools were running the same unaltered piece of software, while the one that kept running was running a modified one?

Again, just a thought...

Wow, I cant believe that you are trying to talk around it so much when it is obvious. I can tell you that they are not using the same software as well because Cryptopool was up while Zeus was attacked still.

It seems to have some value since the pool still gets attacks and mindfox does not  Wink

To put the DDoS debate to bed. Mindfox is right... The issue is with the micro shares being submitted during mining that is crashing the pools. Not the pools being DDoS'd. Its loading the servers and causing process pileups causing certain services to come to a screeching halt while database entries are sorted and submitted.

Thats why it is getting Ddosed now, please dont come and talk about stuff that you have 0 idea about.

And what makes you think I dont know what Im talking about? What pool is being DDoS'd right now?

Because it is clearly ddos its been over 4 g/hash for many hours before without problems and its been ddos everytime, and then you come here and claim it is not while having no idea why it went down.

Cryptopool got ddosed but is back up.

Ok let me put this more clearly. As the ADMIN on ZEUSPOOL... the share transaction submissions to the database have been the issue from the start. That's not to say that DDoS is not possible or that it hasn't happened to any of the pools. But that is the main issue with most of the pools. I know this first hand because I have been sorting it for over 24 hours now.


Xtara,

Mindfox has been right the entire time. The coin and pool operate much differently than other pools. He knows what he's talking about.  He has sorted out a huge problem that the normal pool setup doesn't address.

I just wanted to publicly thank Mindfox for the tremendous help and support he has given to THORcoin, the community and Zeuspool.

He might know what he is talking about but that has not been the problem in this case.

So, at start you implied that I was DDoS'ing the other pools.
The admin of one of those pools which I was supposed to be attacking (according to your saying) confirmed the problem (which may I remind you, you also told him that he did not know what he's talking about - it must be very fashionable sentence these days).
After about a day, I helped the admin of that pool and all problems disappeared instantly (unless of course you find something else to accuse me of... )

Now you state that in this case (what case exactly are you referring to? ) the problem wasn't that, but something else. What was exactly the problem then and how do you have knowledge of it? Are you perhaps one of the admins of one of those pools that were under attack (by me according to you)

Either have the courage to admit that you were at foul accusing someone without even a single piece of evidence or (from what I can undestand) the slightest technical background to backup your "opinion".

You know, there are people that still values the word "honor" and "reputation" and are not hiding behind computer screens, flaming others just for the fun of it.

What ever damage you managed to do with your "mud throwing" posts is hard to undone now, but at least have the decency to accept your mistake and move on. I did it several times in my life and still do when I'm at fault

This is serious.

I would like to remind to all miners, that by not spreading the hashing power to at least 3-4 pools equally, they put the coin in liability.
Right now we're experiencing a 51% attack to the coin. Is anybody aware of that?

Let's not break the cryptocurrency rules ourselves. Spread the hash.

And so that you don't think I'm doing it to favor my pools, don't come to any of my pools. Chose someone else.
Just don't allow this situation to continue like that. Noone outside the Thorcoin community will ever bother with the coin.

Talking bad about other pools that they cant handle the load when they actually getting attacked and only 1 pool is up and it is urs.
I did not talk bad about the other pools. On the contrary, if you check previous posts of mine, you will notice that I was trying to support the coin by promoting all pools, not just mine.

While the other pools where down and miners started coming my way, I sat all night watching the logs, inspecting what exactly was happening so I could prevent my pool from going offline too. That's why I restarted stratum a couple of times for a matter of seconds so that all the changes I did to the whole system be applied instantly.
You will understand that all the above is true, just by checking the hashing rate of your miner: Does it really have that amount of power with other coins/algorithms?

Now, regarding the slow performance of the site:
I am not a rich person, nor I expect to do business from becoming a pool owner. I'm just a miner like everybody in here, who wants to return back to the community.
So, I setup a pool to a small cloud server my budget could afford. I have no employees working for me, nor I can afford to have high end servers. It's just me and all of you, supporting the coin and the pools.

That server handled a ~3.5Mhs of hashing load at some time and I was (and still am) doing the best I can to keep the pool in a working state and to gather experiences during that time.
For absolutely no fees, depending only to users' donations (which weren't many, only some users remembered to visit the donation field and support the pool with a percentage of donation)
Mindfox.Net pool keeps providing stratum services to the users of Thor coin and will happily continue to do so, for as long as we can keep up the pace.

If you read the announcements that you're referring to, you will notice that some of them have DDoS protection, right? Just a thought...

I am sorry if I come a little hard on you, but it didn't feel good the fact that you implied that I could be involved to those "attacks".



DDoS protection doesnt automaticly mean that you are 100% protected and you know this already so why do you even mention that?
