Thanks for the good work. I have mined on your pool for the past few days. So far the earning is much better than the pool I have switched from.
You broke it lol.
It was so good and now we haven't had a single block for 10 hours.
I hope it isn't him who broke it!
To be honest, I had a security flaw on one of the server the pool run, it was exploited by someone who made nasty requests wich made the pool crashed, so the miners could not connect to it. I spent all the night fighting against it and writing custom security procedures. Sadly, this procedures also restricted access to nicehash miners, so I had to rewrite them... Now (and for the last hours), everything should be back to normal (except we lost a lot of hashing power and haven't found any block).
In the meantime, I've lost a lot of users (at least one third of them and I don't blame them it's comprehensible), especially around 3 or 4 users which were using nicehash and were representing almost 2 third of the pool hashing power (I guess it was very profitable for them too).
I'm starting to believe in what I thought was a "conspiracy theory" about some pool owners trying to put down others pool, because on my pool there's only one server (out of five) wich accept public requests the other ones are only communicating through SSL tunnel, so the only harm an attacker can do is crashing the connection between this server and the miners, no profit can be made out of it...
I know I broke the confidence my users put into me and it lowered their profitability, so I've decided to put the pool fees to only 0.1% for at least one week and I hope it will work as well as it was since today.
If you can't connect to the pool now, it's probably because your IP have been permanantly banned (a lot of IPs are now), if you think it was excessive, feel free to send me an email at
[email protected] I will thoroughly study your case.
If you have a any question don't hesitate to contact me at
[email protected] , I answer to everybody and I try to do it as fast as i can.
Thank you for your understanding.
PS: for testing purposes, I blocked the port 5555 and opened the 5556, I forgot to change it when reloading the last configuation so I've decided to let it like this, so now medium difficulty port is 5556 instead of 5555.
