Topic: [NEW POOL & MINER] - BitcoinPool.com - Jump In! ~NO FEES~ :) - page 25. (Read 101960 times)

We are aware that the pool just quit responding to request. We are investigating and will let you know when it's back online.

Thank you for your understanding.

As of now, I can't connect to the server. Port is open but no response to web or rpc requests.

I'll elaborate. All times are stored in UTC, however the server is configured to be in PST/PDT timezone, which the server will adjust accordingly for. As opposed to changing my default timezones for everything on my server, or manually resetting the timezone in each PHP file, I wrote a single function that will adjust the displayed time offset accordingly. The function was added to a config/functions file that is called to from (almost) every page. In this instance, the a file that doesn't call to it is the user.php file, which is showing the time incorrectly.


No, but if I choose to ban him from my server, he'll have no reason to post here.

bobR,

The reason the page might have time displayed incorrectly is because I have written thousands of lines of code in the past 3 weeks, and on top of that, have been making as many changes as I possibly can, as fast as I can, based on the suggestions of users in the forum.

All server times are stored in PST/PDT formatted in seconds from  epoch. When displayed on the website, the correct number of seconds is added to those times in order to make it UTC/GMT timezone.

I add seconds instead of changing the system time so that I don't have to go into the database and manually correct the timestamp on everything. So, as far as the pool server is concerned, the time is correct. As far as the website is concerned, I'll get around to fixing it when I can.

Likewise, If you post one more time insulting us over something as petty as the displayed time on the website, I will ban your account and your IP without hesitation. You have absolutely no clue how much work goes into making this run or, how many lines of code I have to sift through in order to fix an issue when someone reports a problem.

I assure you, both FairUser and I have a long list of things that need written, fixed, or improved, and the displayed UTC time on one of the many pages that shows you the exact same datestamp, is not very fucking high on the priority list. We've been operating for a week, and the pool/site is still in beta. It takes time to iron out all of the kinks.

So, be patient, take some initiative, read some help files, politely inform us when you see something that might be a bug, and have fun mining.

skeptical about WHAT?

That doesn't make it better
to accept more people or
I'm not bashing I'm questioning
We will see
I'm still vary skeptical

Ive not seen any GREAT things from them

They cant even tell time

Looks like an answer to the problem...

Looks like another answer to the problem...

Looks like yet another answer to the problem...


Too true, sadly too true. Check out these hilarious examples: one, two.

Who squeezed your head
That's another problem here
people think they HAVE TO say something

If it's not an answer to the problem ... WHY did you post ??

AFAIK, they are the only pool who don't take a cut.... They also modified a miner in order to be able to accept more people in their pool. They have put alot of effort into this without any BTC and you are bashing them like no tomorrow. ON TOP OF THAT, it is in beta and is a brand new pool with decent hashrate

You don't want to use this pool? GTFO instead of thread crapping and flaming.

U can opt put, if u want, who is stopping u?
I saw some of ur posts & seems ur very upset.
If u want bitcoin, there always the option of solo mining or u can create ur own pool.
Also, if u want instant answers then better go to IRC Freenode, #bitcoin-discussion & #bitcoin-mining...

Oh I didn't Know this was just a hobby for them
another reason to opt OUT

Hey, their site is running for past 5-6 days only & its in BETA.
So, if u find a bug, problem....tell & wait for them to solve.

It may have to do with where the time is sampled from for each page.  Maybe there are two different get time methods or functions being used on the site.  Also, they may not be ignoring you.  The last response was less than 3 hours ago.  They may just be going to work/school/sleep/whatever else any person may do when they're not on this message board.  Give them some time to respond.

And just HOW does this explain how their server "TIME" is off
GMT/UTC is GMT/UTC it don't change
FROM one page to another   if they truely use utc ?

If they cant get something as simple as "What TIME it is" RIGHT
well

Especially after they have been told
in message and here on the board
When they IGNORED AGAIN

Automation might be the issue.  If the server is in a time zone that observes daylight savings time and the system clock got pushed an hour (if for some reason system time isn't UTC), then subsequent times displayed could be off by an hour until the time zone difference to UTC is re-evaluated.

Guess it takes them days to set their clocks too
for most geeks its AUTOMATIC

FairUser, you may want to check that daylight savings time didn't mess with the calculations somehow.  NYC time zone is UTC -4 now instead of -5.

Its only 17.05 utc now
see above 5.:05 + 12 is 17:05

Its your pages
stats show one time
user profile shows  1hr it the future

last share on stats is correct
last seen on user profile is 1hr in the future

if your server said 17:43 when you posted ITS WRONG

[add]
I'm only here to (quote you) preserve my lousy .03

The server's time is listed in UTC.  I just looked at your profile, and nothing is listed in the future.
You are in the New York area, which puts you in the EDT (UTC/GMT -5 hours) timezone.  The server uses a UTC timezone.
Since the time on the server is now 17:43 (UTC), subtract 5 hrs from that, and it's 12:43 your time.

Add welcome back to the pool.
