I don't get it, what did I say wrong? Or what am I doing wrong?
Um, I don't think you understand the concept of mining pools. My computers find blocks for which other pool miners get their share of the reward! And because of my computers, blocks are found more often by the pool! Having big miners can only benefit a pool!!!
But feel free to play an admin in a decentralized project, shut down my account if you want, I don't care. I think I have helped immensely in this project, but I am always getting bashed by you. I think it's time to say goodbye.
I'm sorry you feel that way, and don't want to see you go. I know you are very helpful to the other users, and want to see the project succeed.
On my side of the fence, I have to create an algorithm that is solved fairly for the users and I can't have any gross advantages and we have to work together to remove them, otherwise we risk the integrity of this whole project.
I view this discrepancy as one that is not to be exploited but to be patched with an emergency patch.
I am hoping I have everyone on board to work with me toward the common goal not against it.
We cant have a gross discrepancy in the pool for a select few who figure out how to exploit the algorithm by creating multiple running nodes per linux instance.
In the end we fool ourselves, because those nodes are weaker than the full sanctuaries (where ultimately we want to measure proof-of-service) and have them be external nodes servicing 3000 external connections.
So for now, I am going to limit shares solved by IP to 200 and lets work on a solution to this issue to make it fair for everyone to hash biblehashes.
Make it fair for everyone? How is it not fair now? All the instructions for setting up multiple daemons could be found in this thread, I posted it clearly, as well as someone else who was setting it up later.
The instructions are at at a public disposal and they could be posted now again if needed. They could also be made into a wiki page.
It's not some hidden secret exploit; you first suggested us to try running multiple daemons on a machine and even helped with it.
Actually this is the first time you refer to it as an exploit. Also the first time where you say you want to issue a patch for it. Earlier you were saying that it's fine and that it's how it's supposed to be, because it's better to have full nodes etc. Repeated many times. Exactly this was the reason I did it, because it was not going to change and that it was not an exploit, but a "feature", and also because it's simply easier to manage one bigger computer than 10 small ones, while giving notably better rewards. I would not intentionally do something bad to the coin or the pool, but I am being treated as a bad actor, accused of trying to "steal" others' money.
Also, as oliwer said, other pool miners are doing the same, so even though it's not all of them, that seems fair enough, because others probably didn't care enough to read the forum or have the trouble of setting it up. If someone reads this now and wants to setup multiple daemons, I would gladly instruct them on how to do that. I am not hiding anything or doing something sneaky, immoral etc. And because everyone can run multiple daemons (or already does), a fact is that there is mathematically no disadvantage to anyone while my computers are running, because I increase the pool block find frequency, while in turn I get a % of the rewards. Smaller reward per block for everyone, but more blocks found, so it all irons out to the same rewards for everyone, whether I am mining or not. The only difference is that the pool finds more blocks and that the pool has a lower luck factor, which are both advantages.
Not to mention that I am barely even in the top 10 miners on the pool. You can see for yourself in the block distribution history.That will force me to try solo mining.
Yeah, me too, I'm out. Btw, you will earn 6% more by solo mining.
Alright, thanks for sharing. I dont have the bandwidth to continue arguing with you. Id rather work on the positive aspects anyway.
) The problem with having only 1 pool for a coin is that the pool owner becomes a lightning rod for problems. People automatically associate problems with pool with the coin, and vice versa. My pool is in beta so mine at your own risk, but there is no hashrate or share limit. Its running on AWS so I can adjust the resources as necessary but since I don't know what sort of load will be thrown on the server just keep in mind I might need to do some tweaking in the next day or so. I got the open source code from Bible_Pay and implemented it via his instructions so it looks pretty much the exact same as his pool. The only real difference is there is no letter writing to the orphans, so no fees associated with that, but there is a 2% mining fee to keep the lights on. It might be beneficial to somehow implement some of the letter writing on my pool in the future but I will talk to Bible_Pay about that.
