Topic: CryptoCoin Mine - Goldcoin (Read 4234 times)

It's working great! Thanks Dreamwatcher!

The Old/New Goldcoin CryptoCoin Mine is now open.

Re-registering with e-mail confirmation is required.

The extra security is due to the attempted SQL injection attack on the last pool.

The LP port has been changed to 3333 that stratum port remains 2020.

Goldcoin Pool:

I have 16 users that did not leave a payout address, so I will be emailing them for an address to send coins to.

I am kind of disappointed to see the network hash rate drop so much when my pool shut down yesterday.

I am in the works of setting up a new pool on a new server. This will have the most recent version of pool software, which has some pretty nice features.

I am setting up on a VPS I have hardly used, but kept because I get such a good deal on it. This will allow me to shut down the VPS cryptocoinmine was on, which was rather expensive.

Re-registering will be necessary because of the SQL attacks. E-mail verification upon registration will also be turned on.

Sorry about this, but it will stop or at least greatly slow down any future attacks.

Goldcoin pool is temporary shut down

Over the last couple of days, I have been receiving more and more complaints about shares not being paid. I am shutting down the mining portion of the pool, but the website will remain up for people to withdrawal coins on account.

I am going to move the pool to a different server and again update the front end to the latest version before reopening for mining.

Bytecoin CryptoCoin Mine

This is a 1.5% Proportional pool

120 confirms until enough miners use the pool. I will then move funds into the pool and reduce the confirms.

LP port only until I can get the stratum (SHA-256) back end and the front end to play nice.

Cosmetic upgrades and an accurate network hash rate display coming soon.

dreamwatcher, for crying out loud, could you please increase a logout period on your GLD pool to at least 6 hours? I'm tired of constant logins every fucking 30 minutes! I check the pool, some time later (anything more than 30 minutes I suppose) I check again — I need to log in. I log in, check the pool, then come back in 1-2 hour — I need to log in again. This process repeats, and repeats, and repeats... Even with a password manager it's still a useless bother. Why other pools can keep me logged in for weeks or at least days and yours can't? PLEASE!

I am going to bring down the Craft coin pool for awhile.

I am going to update it to the current software version.

I am also going to change it over to Proportional for the near future.

I cannot support a PPS pool with the current hash rate. I was also lucky in that most people stopped mining as with PPS I could have been really taken to the cleaners the last couple of days.  

The Goldcoin pool has been switched over to proportional. All your account information has been transferred. Account balances have been manually switched over from the PPS pool and will show up as 'Credit_PPS' in your account transactions.

I have set the pool at 0 confirms. This means I will take the chance on orphans.

Damn! Just Damn!!!

Due to large losses, I cannot run  the Goldcoin pool as a PPS pool anymore.
  
STARTING 7/15 this pool will change over to Proportional with a 1.5% fee

Unfortunately it looks like I have lost about 120K GLD since the PPS mine opened.  

The amount of miners and hash rate is just too low to support a PPS pool.  

I will reconsider changing back to PPS when Goldcoin has grown enough to support a PPS pool.

Nobody will need to do anything, I will just switch the payout method to Proportional and it will be transparent. No need to re-register, the balances in your accounts will remain.

There will be 5 confirms to payout, just to ensure pay out does not occur on a orphan block.

The CraftCoin CryptoCoin Mine  is now open.

For the first week there is a 0.5 CRC block finder bonus!!  

All pool donations will be given to the CraftCoin development fund.

Thank you Dreamwatcher.

GoldCoin Pool Donation to Goldcoin Developer Fund system is now complete!


Display of the Donation account transactions is under:  About - Donations Transactions

The automated donation system is functionally in place. All donations go into a miner account that is set at a 500 GLD auto payout threshold. I have manually sent out the donations that occurred before I put the auto deposit in place and zeroed the donation amounts on the board.

This pools developer fund donation address is: E2CCdrwZGcdav2paJ2DwvoEPg96zY71epr

The manual send was 734 GLD: Transaction: 58ad5044975d6e202c0daf9fdcf1c626a836d67abf02af0dc73711fbc537f08e

I will implement a display of the Donation account transactions today or tomorrow barring any technical code barriers.

You will need to register and an E-mail address is required. I do not use the e-mail addresses unless I need to contact you and for verification. It is the easiest way to verify I am in contact with the account holder.

On the subject of E-mail, the e-mail notification is not active yet. I need to see what my options are in terms of an SMTP relay. Setting up and using a local SMTP server, normally leads to bounced back e-mails due to white-listing and ISP spam protection.

Please enter a payout address and threshold. As a pool operator I am responsible for your coins that are in the pools wallets. If the hot wallet is lost/stolen, I have to replace it out of my own pocket. If I put too many coins in cold storage and a high balance miner decides to cash out, the hot wallet balance would be low or empty. This affects other miners that might want payout until I can refresh the wallet.

Manual payout is disabled in order to safeguard against a double withdrawal issue. Though this bug has been patched, I am running the update jobs in a new manor to solve a RARE share counting issue that pops up time to time. To simulate a manual payout, simply lower your auto-payout threshold below your balance. Your account will cash out in the next cycle.

Statistics are refreshed every minute. Share counting, payouts etc, are run every time a new block comes on the network.

I will be handling transferring donation amounts manually until I can add the little bit of code it will take to automate it and make it completely transparent .Within the next couple of days.

Stratum and LP ports

Stratum: 2020
LP: 2339

URL Stratum:   stratum+tcp://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2020
URL LP:   http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2339

Pay-Per-Share:

The PPS reward system benefits miners small and large. Instead of competing for a percentage of the shares needed to solve a block, all shares are paid at a rate calculated with block reward and difficulty.

500 / (pow(2,32) * network difficulty) * pow(2,pool difficulty)

For simplicity the pool fee (2.5%) is deducted when then coins are credited to your account.

Mathematical breakdown of the PPS Formula:

The Goldcoin pool:

Due to a surprising amount of request, the Goldcoin PPS pool will be coming back.


6 PM (CDT) today I will shut the proportional pool down, get final payouts done, clean up the server and get the PPS Pool back up again.

Time compare: It is 3:40 CDT now.

The PPS pool with have both stratum and LP ports.

I will announce the ports when the pool is ready.

An issue has come up and been solved in the Goldcoin PPS pool:


I have sent everybody that has mined in the PPS pool (that put in a payout address), 15x what their balance was. The block reward value of 50 was hard coded in the PPS cronjob and I have since changed it to the proper value of 500.

The extra 5x payment is a bonus for the trouble. I also have left the balances where they are in effect paying at a 16x rate.

I need account#4 to put a payout address in so I can send you your coin.

THE GLD PPS POOL IS OPEN FOR LIVE TESTING.
URL:   gldpps.cryptocoinmine.com
PORT: 6565 Stratum
PORT: LP will come online when the proportional pool is closed.

I will close the proportional pool once the majority of miners have switched over to the PPS pool.

I have lowered the payout confirm count to 10 on the Goldcoin pool.

This means coins will be credited to the miners account when a block has 10 confirms instead of 120.

I am doing this as part of the general preparation to start the PPS pool. I have purchased enough reserve to run the PPS pool and lower the confirm rate on the proportional pool.

THE JKC PPS POOL IS OPEN FOR LIVE TESTING.
The live testing phase has started. First stage will be stratum only.
The pool is running as it would normally run and payouts are in effect.
