Topic: [ POOL CLOSED ] Mainframe Mining Cooperative - page 4. (Read 33627 times)
welcome back! how much SC did you make off with ?
I'm back after the SolidCoin goldrush. Let's get this block!!!!
Thank you for keeping us informed 
Small update:
Today we have found already three blocks one of which was orphaned due to deepbit getting it into the network before we could. Coincidentally there was a network and UPS maintenance window scheduled in my datacenter last nite with some unfortunate side effects of reduced I/O to one of the storage array disk clusters the pool cluster is using which was causing some latency and load issues for the pool. At the very moment we found block 142,496 we were getting this array back up to speed and im convinced that everything running a bit slower is what caused us to lose our first race.
Unfortunate or we would have 3 blocks up on the board right now. You win some, you lose some
If any of you saw some oddities with portions of the stats reporting a found block but it not showing up in the list, this was the reason for it. Some of the code knew that it wasnt a valid block while other pieces of code had already entered it into a found block table the moment it had been found. This is our first orphaned block so i hope to improve how this works a little bit when i have the time. For the time being if you ever see the time stats showing a recent found block but it is not in the list, this means it has been orphaned/invalidated. (at least i hope thats all it means!)
In the interest of full disclosure, here is the transaction list from the pool showing our last confirmed block (142413), the orphaned 142496 block, followed by the 2 blocks currently awaiting confirmation/generation.

Mainframe Mining Cooperative OFFICIAL NOTICE:
After careful monitoring of our current situation, we have determined that the erosion of income from our loyal miners has no longer become merely negligible due to pool hopping. In order to head this off before it becomes a problem and discourages loyal miners from using this pool we have taken the following immediate action.
10 minutes ago after our last block payout, I implemented a PPLNS reward system in this pool. From this point forward, Mainframe is no longer a "pool hopper friendly" pool.
Let this serve as official notice to all pool hoppers - Mainframe will not help you cheat our loyal users out of hard earned BTC.
Cheers!
AnnihilaT, Vladimir, and the rest of the Mainframe Staff.

Hi, AnnihilaT
Switched over to your pool for testing yesterday, and am impressed by the stability and the low percent of rejections.
The Promo makes me feel much better as well.
I decided to give up the stable PPS of Eligius, or the regular payouts of Slush/Deepbit for your more adventurous approach! By adventurous I mean getting knowledgeably lucky, even with 1 block per day average. It seems like you know very well what you are doing.
I am here to stay.
Thank you for your work.
And on the topic of suggestions, in my view, Eligius has some of the best statistics and graphs around (open source by Artefact2). You might want to consider it. Having said that, I feel that your current setup is good enough to keep me mining here.

bump for new promotion. Read post #1 for details.
thanks for sticking thru the last long round... fingers crossed the next one will be better.
I guess its a good thing when a pool the size of ours has such a quiet thread. It means the miners are happy and there are no issues with the pool At least im going to be optimistic and assume thats the reason
