Thank you for doing that, both on behalf of the developer donation and the network health! Especially the network health.

You're welcome.  It was in my self-interest, as moneropool.com is a fat target for attacks and downtime costs me XMR.  Also, supporting the devs helps ensure the future of the XMR I've already earned and hlod.

Currently launching a few AWS GPU instances to mine to cryptonotepool.org.uk  Cool

You misspelled hodl.  Tongue

MoneroPool.com is fluctuating close to 50% of the total network hashrate (sometimes goes even above 50%).
Could the devs post here and in the unmoderated thread to urge miners to spread the hashrate around a bit? (It wouldn't hurt to mention cryptonotepool.org.uk as a pool donating 100% of fees to development, and also updated with the latest patch)
I know you have done this many times, but apparently it wasn't enough.
nearly 51%

I switched my miners to cryptonotepool.org.uk a week ago and am very happy with the results.

Connections are rock solid, plus they give the devs the highest % of any pool.

^ Important.

If you are mining on moneropool, please spread out to other pools. There is a list of pools here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xmr-monero-a-secure-private-untraceable-cryptocurrency-583449

If possible please allocate some of your hash to solo mining. One way to do that is to solo mine on your CPU while you pool mine on your GPUs. You will get steady payments from your pool mining with maximum contribution to the security of the network and sporadic but bigger rewards from your solo mining.

In all cases with pool mining please make sure you have backup pools configured, especially smaller pools, since DDoS against pools is always a serious threat.


Are moneropool.com working without web-board?  Shocked
still getting Welcome to nginx! and no stats...(switched to other pool now)

An exploit has been found in the pool code, which means that some miners are submitting duplicate shares to the pools. Pool owners should update to latest code, pools that have been patched include minexmr.com, hashinvest.net, monero.crypto-pool.fr., and cryptonotepool.org.uk Other pools are currently being exploited, including moneropool.com, which means if you are mining there you will recieve ~50% xmr less than you should.

PS this is not related to the recent BCX stuff

DDoS on moneropool.com is over and they are back up to a normal hash rate.

Please stay vigilant. There are definitely people who want to attack the pools and coin generally. Spread your hash rate around, have backup pools configured, and consider solo mining if you can handle the variance.

Thanks everyone!

webboard is down  Cry

Anybody else experiencing issues with moneropool.com?

Miner is hashing away, yet the pool dash shows no shares or hashrate.

Edit: Also I think pool hash fell considerably.. Not fudding, just raising awareness with what's been going on recently Smiley

We're looking into it meanwhile everyone please move your miners off moneropool.com. The pool is clearly having trouble and its has rate is down to a tiny fraction of normal.

Anyone who is prepared to fire up AWS instances or GPU rigs or anything else to help support the network while moneropool.com is impaired, please do so.

Question for those more knowledgeable on mining / EC2 matters:

I don't have the exact numbers to support this claim, but by my estimations of the last few days, EC2 mining via GPU/g2.2xlarge instances seems to be more cost-efficient than EC2 mining via c3.8xlarge. Is that at all possible?

I had about 30 c3.8xlarge instances running yesterday, and replaced them with about 30 g2.2xlarge instances. The total hashrate seems to be lower (hard for me to add it up, but maybe about half of the CPU instances), but cost is closer to 1/3 of the CPU instances.

Just asking, hoping someone with more experience in this can maybe confirm this intuition, or tell me if I'm most likely wrong.

What are the has rates on the c3.8xlarge and  g2.2xlarge, what are the costs?

Rates is easy: c3.8xlarge is around 0.3 USD/hour, g2.2xlarge around 0.1 USD/hour. Slightly lower in fact, but let's compare them by max rate.



You sure? its 1.6 linux and 3.008 windows right now for the c3.8xlarge

Also depends on region, right? In the regions I used, when I had a number of instances open, and wanted them to be persistent and stay up without being outbid, ~0.3 was the max I had to put for CPU.

Those are exceptionally high rates, but the rates vary continuously and are different in different regions. The above numbers were more typical.

Additional complication: when I opened a large number of concurrent c3.8xlarge instances in the same region, the per instance rate seemed to be lower than when I only had one or two instances in that region running.

Coincidence. The rates change all the time.

Indeed. It's more cost-efficient to mine with the GPU instances. The price is indeed 1/3 of the 32 core instances.

With the current configuration the hashrate for the g2.2xlarge should be around 60% of the c3.8xlarge.
