the suspects must at least be readers of the thread since they are trying to hide who they are. just give up hiding and leave, kano will find you.

i say out the thieves and give them the ban hammer.

Cant ban them,  they use a proxy and mining with a btc address both can be changed, it sucks and I don't know why the would hang out and waist electricity.

Their IP(s) could be banned, however Kano has done the best thing and is withholding payment (pending blocks) which means little/no downside for the pool. They either start finding blocks and get paid, or now waste their time and electric by worthless mining. Either of which is ok with me, although I would prefer them to find blocks.
As for why they do it is because, they (did) get rewarded for providing work (that is like all of us mining here), however withholding found blocks doesn't hurt them as they got paid for their work regardless (albeit with less block rewards) and only served to hurt the pool overall.

Again kano has done the sensible and best approach for the pool, with a bit of extra work for him regarding payments. If they change their ways and bring in the blocks then great, if not then kano can let them waste their hash or perm ban them.

excuse me for my ignorance, but why are these users playing "hide and seek".
if they are up to no good then we don't need them.
i would like to know what are these guys up to?
Are they spying, stealing, planting a hack, what?

Maybe it's the same group of equipment that was attacking Slush in 2014 then BTCGuild in early 2015. They probably know the rigs have shortcuts taken in their firmware and have been getting creative in hiding it because that's easier than admitting they've got a room full of shitty equipment.

Well I sent mine to a hosting provider, but I sent them the firewall and told them what to do Smiley

you hv miners hosted at Li Hosting did you install any firewall over there?
if there are firewall installed for us to tunnel in to take full control on our hosted miners that will make my life much easier

Not there no. Thats cowboy mining at its best. No I am talking about my Spondoolies farm in the US

It wont be a backdoor unless you leave your router wide open as well. Still, passwd doesnt work?
If you run them at home, yes.

If you run them in ANY data centre, all your Bitmain hardware is accessible and changeable by anyone else who has access to or has hardware in the same data centre.
They don't even need to login to it, they can just send API commands to it and it will accept ANY API command since they configure them to do that (even after years of me pointing out that they shouldn't)
e

You can set it up safely in a DC, my kit runs through a firewall that NAT's out to the internet in the datacentre. The miners are not on the datacentres network switch fabric directly. Not that I have S7's in my rack but even if they were they would be as safe as if they were in a DMZ at home.

Yeah but most people hosting are just sending equipment to a hosting provider and letting them do all of the work, that's where the problem comes in.  Its a bit different when you set it up yourself Smiley

I am curious...is the basic root cause of the problem simply bad hardware/firmware or is it something that could be seen as intentional?
There's 2 issues.
1) I can't tell what the hardware is, they use a proxy
2) It's almost certainly intentional since they've changed things around since I commented about it and they 'tried' to avoid being found.
Most of the accounts where created in Jan, then no changes for 1.5 months, then 11 switched to address accounts over the last 3 days.

Thank you for being so diligent...as always your efforts help keep this pool the best around!

I very much doubt any belong to anyone who comments in here, so don't be thinking they might be anyone in here.
Anyway, they will already know coz the perpetrators clearly already knew they were withholding due to some of the changes they made on the 14th when I commented about it.

This makes it look like it was somewhat intentional...wow.

I just saw you processed the payments for blocks    402947and 402939

Thank you very much !

Now given that the total pool hash has dropped a bit and that I added a 2nd S5 to my setup, I'm getting nicer rewards Cheesy
Yeah this share checking is proving to be both successful ... and annoying.
I'd prefer to have no positive results ...
But it has been slowing down my payout processing a little, but nothing to worry about, there will be no more 'days' of delays, just sometimes a bit of a delay while I check through the various data I can generate.

Currently there are 29 accounts/addresses being held.
Many are tiny amounts due to the way I've managed to associate them even before the share statistics could give any useful results.

Also, the worst case scenario if I'm ever wrong, is that the account will simply have more 'dust' to be paid out ... one day.

Please don't bring the block size debate in here.  This is basically the only sane board in bitcoin, a breath of fresh air from all that noise.  There are plenty of other forums for that discussion.

So, I mentioned last week I was gonna sell my S7 on eBay bc my elec costs are too high (still making couple bucks/day but worried about the upcoming having). I was hoping to get $700 (less the eBay & PayPal fees), so I'm happy it sold yesterday for $825. (Waiting for payment, so jury is still out on how this is gonna end - it's a longtime buyer with good reviews, so I'm hopeful).

I'm still mining here (my miner is johnboy21) until I get paid, so here's hoping we can break this logjam before I disconnect. Gonna go make a chicken omelate for breakfast  Wink

Well, guess what? I'm still here mining on Kano bc the butthead who won the eBay bid failed to pay.  Angry
This is the second time in 2 weeks this has happened. I'm starting to think this is a sign from above that I should not sell and I should just hang in and keep mining.

What say you, fellas (and gals?) - with apologies to The Clash, "Should I stay or should I sell?"  Smiley



he probably figured out he can buy a new one cheaper.. but yes, if you make money even if its 1$ its worth keeping it plugged in.
after the halving, you might have to re-evaluate but you still have a few months.
Thanks for the input. I'm making about $3/day (down from $4 a month ago). Problem is, I think the S7 is depreciating more than $3/day, so it's a crap shoot. Darn thing is loud as heck - I may underclock it and reduce fan speed to get noise down a little bit. I'll think on it. If I decide to sell again, I'll offer it here bc eBay seems to be too risky and I'd rather sell it to a Kano miner.

What batch is your S7 from? If it's 7 or below, I will take it off of your hand but probably won't pay more than new. Let me know.
It's a batch 9. Took delivery on Jan 22. Never overclocked - running at stock 700 MHz. I seem to have gotten a pretty good one, though it's not the 162 chip version. Averages over 4700th w error rate of .0014 & .0015 over last 9 days. Temps are 49, 52, & 51 running in my base to (clean) w window cracked. We had a warm spell here in NJ last week and temps never went over 54. I certainly wouldn't expect you to pay more than new. You can pm me with offer. Thanks
