Thats funny IYFTech as I didn't remember you leaving the pool due to payments so I went and checked...

Are you having any issues with your east1 server? I just added an S2 to it (lowest ping) & I'm seeing massive hash swings poolside with terrible efficiency/discard/invalid rates....

I changed to west1 as soon as I posted - is there any way to reset the stats page so I can start monitoring from scratch?

Yes, I can reset your system.. just PM me your username over...

PM'd.  I got problems there too - disconnects & the diff starts off at 64 then shoots up to over 11K! I've used this S2 on other pools without issue, so I know it's not a miner problem....

Sorry, but there seems to be too many stability problems here ATM - I'll give it another try later when the problems have been ironed out.

Good luck  Smiley

I'm no hater - I just think it's scandalous that people let s0br get away with stealing, lying & scamming miners. As should everyone. Speaking of scamming, here's another classic from their first thread:



Of course, if you're OK with losing over 7% of your earnings, zero support, lies, fake accounts, fake givaways, fake pictures, late payments, missing payments, etc, etc with no explanation whatsoever on a pool that is using stolen hardware - then by all means knock yourself out and mine here  

Miners need to know what they are letting themselves in for here, especially noobs who don't know any better.

Well I'm mining with them and all seems ok so far.  Will keep a close eye on it.

Very nice dashboard though.  Site is excellent.  All pools are like Marmite though.  If you find something you like then good for you.  If you're a hater that's your issue.

Exactly. This is taken from their first locked thread, note the date:



If you browse through the first BAN thread, you will see many, many complaints like this. s0br has been ripping off miners since the start - that is why he doesn't post & is why he disappeared for 2 months before opening this "new" BAN thread, hoping the community had forgotten about his rip-off pool. You can read more about it here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8588793

Edit: At least they're only creaming 7.7 % off your earnings now - about half of what they were stealing.....

I tried this pool out when it first started but stopped because of the late/missing/short payments. That was 6 months ago before they got caught scamming & creaming the top off of miners payouts - reading through this "New" thread (s0br locked the first one when the scam was exposed), it seems that nothing has changed. Getting support is impossible as the pool OP never posts here, although there are many shills/fake accounts who like to post on his behalf......

If I were you, I'd use a pool that has a cleaner reputation - it's just not worth the risk or hassle 

Is it a good idea to mine here or not?  So much fighting.

rkinnin,

I'm not sure if that was for me or kano. I don't run a pool, I run a site which among other things reviews mining pools at http://bitcoinsinireland.com/category/bitcoin-mining-pools/ and that's how I came across BAN via the mining thing on blocktrail. And also, there's been edits to this review as things have gone (just like to BTC Guild when they made changes), so the most recent edit when I got back from my holidays (after a reader had mentioned it), did say that there were delays to some payments, although in my experience they caught up to date. Mind you, I was away 24 jan - 9 feb, and my miners http://bitcoinsinireland.com/the-bitcoinsinireland-review-mining-rig/ were offline while I was away getting serviced, cleaned out, and pencil modded. And I thought it was standard practice that most pools hold a chunk of funds outside of the hot wallet that their pool software uses for managing payouts.  

At the moment, doing up reviews for Slush, Antpool, CKPool, Eclipse MC, Bitminter, MMPool and Triple Mining, and then will continue to go through all of the other publically joinable pools in the 1 year, pool distribution list at https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC

And for context, ...Really and an organised group of people/accounts jumped on my review when I had done my first 4 at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=837551.0;wap2, which blitzed nearly half a dozen very insulting comments - at 3am my time - which set my phone ringing like a mad thing, waking my wife and me. Which were trigged by this post -

...Really was pissed off well before this came on, and I think most people will make up their own judgement on his continual trolling. I don't tolerate anonymous abuse. Constructive criticism, always, and if I'm pointed out wrong/incorrect on something, I amend it.

Good run of blocks found lately about time we had some luck

seems odd to me that someone who runs their own pool is also on another pool.  I am really not sure what to make of this.

From BAN:


The math on that comes out 5.623612002 E-10.  That is almost exactly the new share rate, not the rate that the shares were mined at.

Fixed? 

Well ... I read my post ... then read the first part of your reply ... and see no association at all to my question.

If you don't like that I still haven't added the payout details to the web site yet on my site, by all means don't mine there until I do.

But that has nothing to do with the rather simple question I asked regarding what tlhIlwI said ...

You start by saying "if" then end with saying "was fixed"
It's one or the other ... it happened and was fixed, or it didn't happen and didn't need fixing (or it happened and wasn't fixed )
... and you are suggesting that tlhIlwI is lying ...

...Really, it's nice to know that an anonymous person who's happy to spew shit and abuse will cry. I don't hide who I am anywhere unlike you. You hide behind a name, and I couldn't give a crap what you say.

Kano, no offence. But I'm mining on your pool right now, and your interface is shocking. You don't even show people how much they've earned, your stats is the wallet address with no basic information that i'm supposed to search for my wallet address, and manually add up the payments. So it's a bit rich for you to be talking. i see everything on BAN, and my wallet matches up

And if s0br made a mistake with the way the difficulty change was calculated, he's human ffs. noone was put out and it was fixed.

According to their site, there are currently 1356 miners on BAN - so, 7.7% of all those miners income is stolen & goes where? That's a lot of btc to go missing every payday eh?

I never got emails explaining anything.  I did finally get my payout yesterday (after 11 days without payouts).  It did indeed have 7.71% missing due to the difficulty adjustment near the end of those 11 days.  BAN wasn't doing partial payments during those 11 days but instead was picking and choosing who was paid, so not everyone took the 7.71% hit on as many days worth.

IMO, handling difficulty changes in PPS the way BAN does is not the brightest idea.  If there is another difficulty drop, before the drop anyone could set their payout for 24 hours and earn extra for nearly a day at the expense of the pool.  Likewise, always hop off and never let a payout cross an increase!  The pool can probably handle it though-- there are far more increases available to skim from those who do not know any better!

Give you one guess.......

That was jammers who posted earlier - he's a paid spiv of s0brs. Click ignore 

So ... what happened with this?
Someone earlier posted that they get transparent emails ... so I guess the emails explained it also?

Seems to me that you are the only one over here...

Anyway, today we already found 3 blocks so things are looking good.

No, just liars, scammers & thieves. Doesn't everyone?

Jeez you really hate BAN don't you?
