Someone needs to let the dev's of sgminer know also because I think I read somewhere that they are pulling from kalroth github ...

ummmmm  Payouts sent a while back and still have not showed up in my wallet...  Are our payments now being Hijacked?

Or is there just a delay?

Please run a re-index on your wallet, payments should be fine.

I have a web based Wallet and just looked through all the options and dont see an option to Re-Index..  Any other suggestions?  Up until just now, payments arrived in my wallet very fast..


p.s.  I even logged out of my wallet and back in..  Nothing..




Hopefully just a coincidence as I can look up and see the TxNid's on the site of my wallet.....  So I assume issue or delay on the side of the Web based Wallet..   I have emailed them..


Sorry but with everything going on right now, I am scared to even answer my front door..

just fired off an email to [email protected] about what is happening, he probably has a better understanding about what can be done to solve this redirect problem as he is actively developing his fork of cgminer ...
There's not much I can do other than disable the reconnect code, which several individuals already have done.
I'll do a quick update of my github and binaries soon enough.

From a quick glance, it looks like someone found a way to send a spoofed* JSON packet to stratum pools, which makes the pool send a redirect request to (some of?) its clients.
It does not look like it's a bug in the client software, merely an unfortunate feature.

Returning false would make it break, and not read the next line with recv_line(pool), I don't know the code enough to guess if that means it would skip some valid stratum commands.

All in all I like your solution, gotta love opensource software, just because of situations like this.

You're right. In fact, I made it even simpler by just commenting out line 1686

Code:
//pool->stratum_url = pool->sockaddr_url;

This is the line that assigns the new pool url.

OK I just got hijacked to, but there was a user name mining at hashco called milone, isnt that the name of the person running cgwatcher?  Is everyone who has been jacked running cgwatcher?  I dont even mine there either.



Milone is the guy who created CGRemote and CGWatcher.

Guess you guys are automatically donating to him. hahahaha


Some more info:

Looks like he has a hidden donate.

If you who know more than I do about coding and can provide a fix for the reconnect issue it would be a major feather in the hat for wafflepool and would probably draw a lot more miners to our pool Smiley

If you're using cgminer, start it with 2>cgminer.log to enable logging to a file. I did this and found the following line in the log after two of my rigs were highjacked:

 [2014-03-23 11:34:15] Reconnect requested from pool 2 to 190.97.165.179:3333

If you've compiled your own cgminer source, you can disable the reconnect command. Open util.c and look for this around line 1668:

Code:
static bool parse_reconnect(struct pool *pool, json_t *val)
{
        char *url, *port, address[256];

Right below the opening curly bracket enter:

Code:
static bool parse_reconnect(struct pool *pool, json_t *val)
{
        return false;
        char *url, *port, address[256];

Recompile cgminer and re-run it. It should now ignore any client.reconnect messages from stratum.

Note: I'm still testing this out. This is fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants work right now, so I'm not sure of the possible implications on how this might affect legit client.reconnect messages, although PW says wafflepool doesn't use this feature.



I just did this, on linux (sorry guy above me, I can't send you the binaries). CGminer works ok.  I only wander if it would be safer to do 'return true;' than 'return false;'.

The diffeence would be at auth_stratum method:

Code:
	/* Parse all data in the queue and anything left should be auth */
while (42) {
sret = recv_line(pool);
if (!sret)
return ret;
if (parse_method(pool, sret))
free(sret);
else
break;
}

Returning false would make it break, and not read the next line with recv_line(pool), I don't know the code enough to guess if that means it would skip some valid stratum commands.

Can someone compile a windows x86-64 binary for cgminer-kalroth with this fix in it and provide a link to binary please

Interestingly enough, I don't have a pool 2 defined. I have uswest.poolwaffle.com and useast.poolwaffle.com as the only 2 pools defined (unless the log isn't zero-indexed for the pools - I haven't looked at that part of the code)

Which pool is pool 2 in your case?

mine as well 190.97.165.179 diff 1.02K, using tomato firmware on my router, thinking about adding my pfsense box to the mix.  I'm sure it's not a hack of my router or malware (not used for anything besides updating OS & mining) as my s1's & a rig using crypo slax v0.1 has been unaffected, mining on a different pool.

I blocked all communications of my rigs to all external network (Internet), except for:

eu.wafflepool.com 95.85.61.208
useast.wafflepool.com 162.243.89.19
uswest.wafflepool.com 192.241.211.125
litecoinpool.org 151.236.218.211 80.69.77.111
us.litecoinpool.org 142.4.202.112 107.170.24.54
us2.litecoinpool.org 192.214.197.116 198.251.80.29
us3.litecoinpool.org 107.170.24.54
us4.litecoinpool.org 198.251.80.29

There was one IP address I was not able to identify who it belongs to:
37.58.69.218-static.reverse.softlayer.com:3333 (ESTABLISHED)

It seems it's litecoinpools address - but was unsure so it got blocked.

Waffle -do something - as it seems a mass of hashrate is lost.
