Hello,
I did an installation of a z-nomp with btcprivate daemon on ubuntu. After running and mining i see
errors in z-nomp logs:
Code:

I also see this errors in coin daemon logs:

Bitcoin Private Mining Pool / FirstPool

Address: https://btcp.firstpool.org

pool server: eu.firstpool.org
port: 2000
user: .

Features:

  • European location
  • Anonymous mining, no registration required
  • High performance dedicated server & backend
  • Anti-DDoS and mitigation by OVH
  • Stratum support
  • PPLNS payout scheme
  • All mining rewards are paid
  • Automatic payout
  • Pool and worker statistics
  • 0.0% pool fee until the 31st of March (0.5% after)

About us:

We are a small team of two, currently doing our last year of computer science studies and highly enthusiastic about mining. We started working on the pool around a month ago out of curiosity because all the (ZCL) pools we've seen back then just didn't look professional and almost all of them had some sort of annoying visual or performance issue, so we decided to try to make something as serious and simple as possible.

Our main goal is to give an easy to use, fast and reliable service to the mining community. We've set up our first powerful dedicated machine on the OVH network.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Enjoy your stay Smiley

- The servers is located in Ukraine.
Low pings for Ukraine (1-7 ms) and CIS countries
- Automatic Payout Threshold (min. 0.01)
- Detailed statistics
- Payout system : PPLNS
- Pools Fee : 0 %

- At the moment the pool has been trained, configured and tested on the network "testnet" and showed better statistics in comparison with other pools.
1. All settings of the "testnet" pool will be transferred to the "mainnet" pool, except for the wallet address.
2. The miners who will register in advance and create the workers will have an advantage, they will immediately begin to mine in pool using the old settings.
3. In turn, the new miners will need to enter the wallet "BTCP" in the account settings for the possibility of creating workers.

List of unused wallets of the network "testnet" coins "Bitcoin Private", here.

@cryptoeyes I ve been the third to setup a test pool on testnet. And if you follow btcp twitter you would see that they tweeted my testnet mining pool.
So as per your suggestion as the mainnet is going to be up, I will have a stratum on Amazon aws too.

You will see the hashrate of my pool, it will be great and I will be rock solid and then you will change your idea

@thomasuno, I certainly have even less of a reason to try your pool now than I had before. I raised legitimate concerns, you do with that whatever you want. I have no skin in the pool business (that community is even worse than the mining one). Also, one of the points of opening a pool now is for miners to try it on testnet, but you should continue to keep yours closed so that everyone feels encouraged to instantly jump on it when mainnet launches. Best of luck.

As usual, criticism in crypto is dismissed as fud, discrediting, etc. Hopefully the other pool OPs will actually provide some tangible details.

The most important is the stratum server - that's what will be bombarded by connections. As I said, your stratum server btcp1.thomas.uno has a single IP which is at Hetzner Online GmbH, not AWS. You now claim there is some other server NOT at this provider which would kick in if things go awry ... That's what many pool OPs were saying at the launch of Zen, BTG etc too. It was a disaster. You're asking us to take you at your word and that's just not good enough any more, sorry.

EDIT: I just tried to connect to your stratum (btcp1.thomas.uno:3333) from two different locations (different countries too) ... "connection refused"

what is the problem with you?
are you trying to discredit others mining pool because you are running yours?

the mainnet is still not up so why should i have the stratum always up?

@ cryptoyes do you want I give you IPs of the firewalled infrastructure that is behind the stratum and web front end? I don't think it is a good idea.

but you can begin with this

host btcp.thomas.uno
btcp.thomas.uno has address 52.85.184.129
btcp.thomas.uno has address 52.85.184.208
btcp.thomas.uno has address 52.85.184.37
btcp.thomas.uno has address 52.85.184.64
btcp.thomas.uno has address 52.85.184.25
btcp.thomas.uno has address 52.85.184.87
btcp.thomas.uno has address 52.85.184.109
btcp.thomas.uno has address 52.85.184.6

do a whois to these ips and tell me what they are =)

you can also check with dig that the TTL of that record is very low.. so in case the first stratum server will go down I have already a fail-over that comes up and not in hetzner

Code:
dig btcp1.thomas.uno

Dear thomasuno,

Most of what you say is unverifiable as you prefer to stay anonymous (I can claim Bill Gates taught me how to code and offered me a gold medal). So far the only thing we know is your pool offers a single IP, which seems to be in Germany, a "professional helpdesk" (for now, an empty telegram chat).

You claim you're hosting with AWS, but the rDNS of your IP resolves to your-server.de (Hetzner Online GmbH).

You also have 0 posts here and want 0% fee (that infinite scaling infrastructure must be awfully cheap ...)

Also, by simply asking us "what are you risking?" and then inviting to risk the first few hours of a mainnet launch suggests that you may want to rethink your approach or understanding. I certainly don't want to risk precisely the first few hours of a mainnet launch.

Sorry, I'm not convinced by you so far (but I'm glad you joined the discussion, feel free to provide more details). Others will do whatever they want.

Right, this post is meant to provide incentive for pool OPs to come forward with more evidence for us to take them seriously and not waste our hashpower on pools that crap out in the first hour. The mining community has been taken advantage of too much by everyone (miner devs, pool ops, coin devs, etc ...).

As someone who has seen a few equihash coin launches, be careful with the pool you choose. BTCP is already perceived as a scam (and I mean, really, have you seen Bittrex's announcement https://support.bittrex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001271272 ? The zcl team could have had BTCP listed, but I guess pump greed was too much ... anyway, I'm ranting)

For instance, be careful with Suprnova ... for some reason foreign to me, this pool still has a lot of followers, but you may want to consider the following:

- the pool is known to crap out on mainnet launches, when a ton of new miners suddenly connect (the Zen launch last year was a total fiasco on Suprnova, it had more orhpaned blocks than mined blocks during the first 24h)
- the pool OP is known to quickly blame DDoS attacks when the pool is unresponsive (see Zen launch)
- note so related, but the pool OP is also known to lie about the network fees (all fees are high, but he charges you for transactions about 100x more than the network fee, yet claims it's only paying the network fee, his Zclassic and Zen pools were such examples)

If @ocminer (suprnova pool op) is here and cares to provide a reassurance for the BTCP mainnet (besides "it's all good!"), then this is an opportunity for him to do so.

BTG pools at mainnet launch were also virtually a complete fiasco - with claims of DDoS attacks all around (yet 12h in advance on testnet they were all claiming the moon).

All the pools posted here so far are either new pools or tiny pools, offering no reassurance that it can withstand the hoards of miners that will connect when mainnet launches. None of the people advertising their pools posted about the hardware config (the guy before, who has 0 posts here on BTCTalk, says "My Pool is a totally free mining pool with 0% fee. We have a redundant setup and we can scale infinitely." ... really now?)

For anyone looking for a pool with _some_ promise of reliability:

- stay away from pools advertised by folks that have 0 posts here
- stay away from 0% fee pools (hashrate skimming risk too high)
- stay away from pools which offer a single server or a single server location
- look to see if they mine other coins, check the pool hashrate for all other coins and compare it to the network's hashrate, if it's below 1% then I wouldn't touch it, if it's above 5% then it _may_ be worth something
- look for pools that advertise a chat (discord, slack or telegram (yuck)) and then check it to see if the pool OP is active (and if they know whet they're doing)
- look for pools that are already active on testnet AND which will switch your miner automatically to mainnet when mainnet goes live, without you having to reconnect
- question the pool op regarding the hardware
- English ... you probably want pool OPs who can actually speak and understand English. It can be frustrating (and I'm being very polite here) when you ask a question and the pool OP gives a completely orthogonal answer (or worse, eventually resorting to sarcasm because you're not already an expert). If you see that the Discord/Slack/Telegram channel is 99% Russian or Chinese, then, well, good luck!
- etc
- basically, DYOR to get as much reassurance as possible that you won't waste your first 24h

So, pool OPs ... please come forward. Post your server specs, locations, number of servers, limitations (e.g. max nr of connections before banning/throttling), support staff, chat, availability, any dev skills etc ... Large miners won't touch these pools with a long pole (well, they may not touch BTCP at all, but that's a different story).

ALSO, BTCP DEVS, RHETT AND GANG ... YOU REALLY NEED TO ANNOUNCE AN EXACT TIME FOR MAINNET LAUNCH!! Otherwise everyone will be certain you have allowed instamine for your buddies (as if the current BTCP shit image wasn't enough). Stop this bullshit about "sometime tomorrow", "in about 2 days from the fork" etc. You want us to take you seriously, then act accordingly.

p.s. for reference
My Pool is a totally free mining pool with 0% fee.
We have a redundant setup and we can scale infinitely.

Dear Cryptoeyes,
everyone or almost everyone is hosting the mining pool on a single dedicated server on OVH. I'm not doing this.
I'm an Amazon aws solutions architect certified and I'm able to architect and scale an IT infrastructure from a 0 load to almost infinitely. And that technology is called the cloud.
I have already setupped everything with this strategy so Redis server, Stratum server, Payment server are on different istances already. How many did in the same way?
Furthermore the web frontend is already protected by a caching solution (in Amazon).
So I agree with you, going with 0% fee mining pool is a risky, but how much are you risking? Just come mining on my pool and then after a few hours let see if you get the right reward.
Thank you,
Thomas

None of the people advertising their pools posted about the hardware config (the guy before, who has 0 posts here on BTCTalk, says "My Pool is a totally free mining pool with 0% fee. We have a redundant setup and we can scale infinitely." ... really now?)

For anyone looking for a pool with _some_ promise of reliability:

- stay away from pools advertised by folks that have 0 posts here
- stay away from 0% fee pools (hashrate skimming risk too high)
- stay away from pools which offer a single server or a single server location
- look to see if they mine other coins, check the pool hashrate for all other coins and compare it to the network's hashrate, if it's below 1% then I wouldn't touch it, if it's above 5% then it _may_ be worth something
- look for pools that advertise a chat (discord, slack or telegram (yuck)) and then check it to see if the pool OP is active (and if they know whet they're doing)
- look for pools that are already active on testnet AND which will switch your miner automatically to mainnet when mainnet goes live, without you having to reconnect
- question the pool op regarding the hardware
- English ... you probably want pool OPs who can actually speak and understand English. It can be frustrating (and I'm being very polite here) when you ask a question and the pool OP gives a completely orthogonal answer (or worse, eventually resorting to sarcasm because you're not already an expert). If you see that the Discord/Slack/Telegram channel is 99% Russian or Chinese, then, well, good luck!
- etc
- basically, DYOR to get as much reassurance as possible that you won't waste your first 24h

So, pool OPs ... please come forward. Post your server specs, locations, number of servers, limitations (e.g. max nr of connections before banning/throttling), support staff, chat, availability, any dev skills etc ... Large miners won't touch these pools with a long pole (well, they may not touch BTCP at all, but that's a different story).

ALSO, BTCP DEVS, RHETT AND GANG ... YOU REALLY NEED TO ANNOUNCE AN EXACT TIME FOR MAINNET LAUNCH!! Otherwise everyone will be certain you have allowed instamine for your buddies (as if the current BTCP shit image wasn't enough). Stop this bullshit about "sometime tomorrow", "in about 2 days from the fork" etc. You want us to take you seriously, then act accordingly.

p.s. for reference
