hi all ...
the new goldblocks pool is now built - and in 'alpha' testing ...
what this means is that it is now part of the new server - on the new custom built cw-stratum - and on a new dns address ...
please stop mining on the old pool - as the stratums to that pool will be switched off immediately - and the pool active for the next few weeks to allow the users to move their coins from the pool ... so it will be fully decommissioned at that time - and the pool will no longer be accessible ... the exact date will be determined soon ...
the new pool is on the cwi-pool system - and is therefore part of the sso pool structure ...
once you register and setup on this pool - your profile and workers should be active on all the pools that are part of this system ...
the gb pool is designated 'alpha' and will be set on the same port as before ... we will move to 'beta' designation and change colour of the pool to reflect that in the coming week when mining is started - then a week later will put into full 'production ' designation and the colour of the pool will change accordingly also ...
this stratum that is currently being used seems to be able to take quite a beating - so only the single port will be used for the time being - unless we see that it cannot handle it - and will add a secondary port ... though we have seen this stratum take a beating on other pools in various algorithms - so we are confident that if there are any issues - we can have them resolved resonably quickly and well ...
below are the addresses for the main pool page ( yes - we will build a better one when there is time and the webdev can devote the effort for it ) and the direct link to the goldblocks pool ...
main page ...

http://pool.chainworksindustries.com/gb/miner setup address ...
stratum+tcp://pool.chainworksindustries.com:8000/
now the gb daemon built for centos 7 x64 is currently syncing - and should take a couple of days to finish ... when it has caught up to the current block - the mining can begin and the testing / hammering of the stratum and pool can take place ...
normally we would not release this until it has been fully tested and trialled ... but with the current pool that exists - the issues are too large now to reasonably 'fix' the pool in anyway ... so we must decomission that older pool - and commission this newer pool - on a more robust platform and more solid stratum ...
register your new profile - setup your workers - setup the miner and point to the address:port - then fire away ...
please note - that NO mining can happen until it has fully synced - but you CAN register and setup prior to that on the pool ...
we hope this serves the mining community in a much better way ... and when the cwi-site is setup - will service the world of miner and investors and everyday people alike ...
