Topic: F2Pool「魚池」🐟 - page 15. (Read 169327 times)

These 331 MB of tx are mostly spam from @amaclin, who has been flooding the network with sigops and dusts for months. We increased our fee to reduce spam in block.

In the meanwhile we are also mining largest blocks in blockchain. If you sort all bitcoin blocks by size, the top 1000+ are all from us.

Yes. Last night our web server got some DDoS attacks. Now it is back.

Is the site under another attack?  Can't login but my miners *seem* to be ok.

Besides SVP mining (which allows less transactions on the bitcoin network) and implementing Full RBF without announcing it before (which could have bankrupted bitpay/coinbase) no mining pool should have such a large amount of hashpower.
With 51% of the power they could control the network (reverse transaction, block transactions, destroy svp wallets (multibit, android wallet...)). At the moment they would have more than 51% if they would collude with Antpool (or hacked, forced...).

Since the rise of the Chinese mining pools, the network is truly in danger.

I have to clean this thread up by removing some posts from people with negative trust feedback. You may already notice the red warnings on the left side, please trade with them with extreme caution!

I want to make a clarification that I am more than happy to explain to the community for how our pool works. But you have to be nice and polite. While words like “threats”, “lies” are not included.

This thread is for user support, see the first post. You post was not asking support from me but bashing me and our pool for no valid reason. You are always free to post whatever in your own thread.

Some of you do not even know whether version is included in header but believe so called "SPV" mining is bad. Isn't it ridiculous?

please ELI5. I can't through all these posts and have the stuff is WAYYY over my head.

At what percentage of the hashrate will F2Pool stop accepting new users? 30% is already highly critical.

If you care even a little bit about bitcoin, you would stop mining here and at Antpool.

very frustrating as I want some of my hash in a pps pool.  There are almost no options other then this one. 

I hate to see the infighting between miners and pools so if S.P.V. mining is bad figure out a way to stop the fighting over it.

was wondering the same? I use this as my main pool. Not sure how DDOS effects mining pool tbh.

So an attack is underway?

Must I stop mining here forever?

Or can people come to terms over S.P.V. ?

It does not affect your earnings. Only the hashrate chart may not be very good looking (higher variety).

My 420Gh/s miner is still at 4.1K with the new US server.

The old default server was at 2K difficulty.

The diff will lower to 2048 after a minute or two if your miner is not submitting fast enough.

I think it is pretty ridiculous to say that SPV mining is in any way harmful to Bitcoin. When a pool SPV mines, they start work on a new block slightly faster then they otherwise would be able to do so. Even if a pool were to produce an "empty" block (eg one with only a coinbase transaction and does not confirm any additional transactions), then the previous transactions confirmed in previous blocks would be confirmed by one additional block (this is beneficial to those who need to wait "n" confirmations prior to having their transaction "credited", as well as those who say that you must always wait 6 confirmations prior to accepting a transaction), and decreases the chances that the block they are mining "on top of" gets orphaned (which benefits the pool/miner of the previous found block).

If anything, SPV mining opens up the miners who engage in this practice to additional risks, however f2pool is a PPS pool so the miners who are mining on f2pool are not bearing these risks, the operators of f2pool are. Based on this fact, if SPV mining was not net profitable then miners would not engage in this practice, period.

I personally don't think it is anyone's business to say what risks that f2pool can and cannot take with their own money. If they are doing something that you believe is risky, then you should/can warn them of these risks, however it is ultimately up to them to decide what risks to take with their own money/profits.

I would say that I have mined on f2pool in the past with the little amount of miners that I have owned in the past and that I would gladly trust f2pool with my mining power in the future (I do not currently own any miners, therefore I am not mining on any pool).

Thanks for finally adding a US server. My ping is only 45ms from the 250ms.


However the difficulty is 4.1k which is very high for an antminer s3. Anyway to lower it?
