this 21btc buy wall is pissing me off
i wanna buy at 1sat and then it must shoot up to 10 hahah sigh
This!
and
FYI, we're looking into an issue with payouts, it should be resolved shortly. Thank you!
Payouts are running again!
please implement worker disconnect algorithm to maintain sub 30% network hashrate
This too would be really great.
Would need to average out the net hashrate over a period of time ofcourse though, net rates fluctuate so much for all the reasons I'm quite sure you know
The bigger problem is that no other pools are even advertising in the thread here! They should be doing more to put themselves in front. It's tough when we not only have to handle the maintenance of our pool, but also add code to make it smaller?
As for any risks of a fork, there's an exceedingly low chance of this happening. I think people are scared of what happened with DogeCoin, but that was specifically due to some bugs in the wallet code that made the fork survive. Half the pools/exchanges were on one wallet, and the other half were on another.
We'll continue to monitor things, and if we see anything dangerous happening then we'll shut off a couple of our stratum servers temporarily to bounce people to other pools. That's the easiest way, since writing our own worker banning algorithm would take a LOT of work.
this guy, i like this guy! need more people like him in this game.
Agreed. I can only recall seeing HashStrike active in this thread (I don't follow many coins) and he's been exceptionally good and active.
The points made are entirely valid, it's not the job of ONE POOL to manage the hashrate of entire currency.
The problem does still exist though, regardless of what the possibilities are of a single pool having such a large percentage of the hashes, it doesn't look good and just adds more ammo to the FUD spreaders.
Those here who CBA, could you (along with myself) try to contact the other pools and get try to convince them to be more active here.
I really want to jump on Hashstrike to support them due to Tri's presence here but I won't because of hash balancing, but I know there are plenty of others who won't think twice about joining them and exasperating the issues.
unfortunately this is a problem that will only be solved with mechanisms in place
most miners dont have any allegiance to the coin they mine
we could solve this on two fronts to prevent corruption
both miner software and pool software needs to be network hashrate percentage aware and have mechanisms to alert or force action
since some coins have difficulty adjustment interval as low as 30 seconds, automatic forced action would be the better default choice
