* this is the second server for my first and biggest WDC pool yet (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=207131) *
* all the regs were on the first pool are copied to this one so you can seamlessly move some of your rigs to the new fast box, just change the mining hostname *

Hey all, I have made a pool for worldcoins: http://wdc-us.epools.org/ (http://wdc-us.epools.org/)
Pool fee is 1.5%, payout scheme is RBPPS.
Only stratum is supported by now.

Come join us!

p.s. my pools reputation thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=200074 and here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=203265

p.p.s. if you have >= 10% of rejected shares, try adding this to your cgminer startup string: -Q 0 -s 1 -E 5

very nice. your first pool really works best from the available ones.

thanks. yep, the first one is the biggest WDC pool for now. It just having alot of load so I decided to close regs there and make a new one to share the load.

come on guys, drop in! this server is really fast, and the pool reputation should be really solid now :)

Hi
I'm getting this error when trying to mine:
:-[

do you use your first pool credentials? maybe you've been registered *after* i was copying login data from there.

ah. sorry. i forgot to add '2' to the homepage of the new pool. so the hostname for miners is 'wdcpool2.erundook.net'

I didn't register on the previous pool. What should I do to get it working? :)

Oh okay, got it!
Thanks :)

sure! sorry for the inconvenience :)

drop in guys, server isnt breaking a sweat :D

My login info isn't working on the webpage but miners can connect.

make sure you're logging in to the right server. wdcpool or wdcpool2 ?

I changed to pool2 in cgminer as you mentioned in the OP.  All miners connect to the pool and hash away fine.  However, when I went to log in to the wdcpool2 webpage it said the login info is invalid.  Neither my email nor username will work with the password I have written down.  I got some power to put on the pool once I know I can set my payout. 

please pm me with your login details i'll check that

Further testing proved my password wrong  :o.  Thanks for putting up the second pool, miners on their way.

so everything is okay?

yup, error was all mine.

okay. hope you enjoy the pool :)

All 8 MH is running smoothly.  Thanks again for the pool.

you welcome :)

drop in guys, we need more hashing power to the second server! :)

Does anyone else have issues? I seem to get shares, for 1 out of 4 blocks

what is your hashrate? if it's < 1000 kh/s thats obvious that you arent fast enough for some quick rounds.
for example last block on stats was solved in 3 seconds. you could miss that round just like i did :)

yeah, thats probably it. slower miners should move to server 2, with me. less missed rounds

less DDoS now I think

sorry what? :)

I have 1700khps on this pool and I am having trouble solving any shares.  I've been mining for over 30 minutes and I have only solved 1  :'(  On top of that, the pool hasn't even registered that I have solved that share. 

Any ideas about what could be wrong?

looks like a bad miner config. what is your account id?

you have no shares at your account. you should look into your miner configuration

When you say miner conf, do you mean invalid worker credentials or incorrect GPU details?  What aspects of my miner conf could be causing this?  It is connecting to the server just fine.

i mean the gpu config. and you could have forgot to add --scrypt to your cgminer launch string

erundook, does you site support manual payment? I see only auto payment.

Thanks for the pool, just switched over since wdc.dontmine.me is down.

it does. the option will appear when you have saved a payment address and some coins on balance.

you welcome! the second server is still far from filling its capacity :)

 Unpaid shares
Your valid: 66
Pool valid: 27654
Round shares

Round estimate
0.00000 WDC
Average coins/hr
0.00000 WDC
Account balance
0.00000 WDC

It's normal, right? Miners are working and sharing but "round stimate" is still zero.

Thanks for your hard work. What would you say capacity is for each server? Do you gauge in total MH/s, or active connected users/workers?

i count shares server saves to the database per minute which is close to the mh/s gauge. i'd say first server can handle 300-350 mh/s with ease (right now it is doing 470 which is a bit hard for it), second one should be able to do 400 mh/s and more.
Right now the first server is inserting to the database ~3300 shares per minute.

sure, those counters will begin to work when rounds you were participating at will get their blocks confirmed.

Moved to wdcpool2 and it's looking good :)

thanks! doing my best to keep it so :)

does this work with longpoll?

nope. stratum only, you can setup a longpoll proxy with ease, google for 'stratum mining proxy'

Pool down?

The front-end is not accessible, but just wdcpool2, wdcpool works fine.
Shares are accepted by wdcpool2 as usual.

looks like second pool is down, but Erun's pools usually pop back online pretty quickly because of ddos protection...

Aka firefox cant find server

i am sorry about web interface hang. will get it back shortly!

this is going to get fixed in few minutes. miners should be still running smooth!

should be fixed now! please check

i am really sorry for that, should never happen again  :-\

No problem, when pool is this good, its forgiven! Stats are great. Please keep up with great work!

thank you Pmalek! i'm doing my best to keep the service as good as possible :)

Everything is looking good.  My miners were fine even when front end went down.  Great work!

thanks! bad things happen to the best of us sometimes :D

everything is fine. pool is open ;)

good communications  :D

Yes this is a nice pool and becoming the biggest for the WDC

thank you guys! i really appreciate your words :)

Erun, under 'my workers' tab it shows a couple of my workers as not active but it is calculating hash rate for them.  I restarted my miners and it seemed to work for all but one worker.  It stills shows as not active but also a hash rate is calculated.  Could you confirm whether I am getting shares or do I need to restart my miners again and hope it works?

DDOS-protected?

Who is DDOSing Worldcoin pools?

What do you mean who?  Moron...

Erun, nevermind.  I restarted my miners again and it seems okay.

that could be a bug with activity indicator, please provide account id so i could check that

ah. okay, glad to hear you're good now :)

It's doing it again :(

I will pm username.

okay I've made a small change to the code, lets see if it does the trick. try looking at your worker stats after 10 minutes from now.

Awesome, mate!  Whatever you did worked.  Thanks.

you welcome! providing the best support here :D

Indeed!

Just got another DDoS attack.  Sorted that out :)

just wondering if 10% rejects is to be expected when mining:
I don't have --queue=0 or other tweaks

https://i.imgur.com/HElPfL5.png

yep thats because the high block per sec ratio. you can find best queue&stuff settings mentioned by another miner somewhere at my first pool's thread.

btw, first server just had an upgrade and accepts new registrations again! :)

Isn't the pool hash rate getting dangerously close to 51% of the network..?

is that a real problem except that it creates a theoretical possibility for 51% attack?
i'm not going to do any attacks, if i wished to, i'd do that long time ago :D

i am also doing some maintenance to the pool's web part, so dont be confused if you get any errors with it next hour. miners should be okay.

I've had a few MHash on this pool for maybe 10 minutes and while your site shows the hashrate, it shows 0.00000 for all coin measurements.

sure, you have to wait for blocks to get confirmed before you start to get your payouts.

something went wrong, fixing up

Pool 2 sooo close to 51%

Network hashrate: 1268.31 MH/s Pool hashrate: 645.70 MH/s Pool miners: 792 Pool workers: 465

Stales are up on wdc pool 1 and stratum is crashing! Overload?

looks like we're getting some HUGE ddos. sorting that out, please stay tuned

Seems to be working fine again...

Something just doesn't seem right.. I went from 7-9 WDC/h to 1.3 WDC/h

37,386 1  peps less than a minute ago 32.0 0 Inf 0 NaN
37,385 2  peps 1 minute ago 32.1 0 Inf 0 NaN

Hi, I have a question. This is a bit strange: I started with just 1 mh/s on the pool a few hours ago, and it reported an average of about 10WDC/hour. Then I added another few cards, brining my hash rate up to 2mh/s, and now the pool is reporting <8 WDS/hour...?  Has the difficulty readjusted that much, is there something wrong with the pool, or is it the DDOS?
What is an expected "return" of WDC/hour for 2Mh/s at the moment?

Thanks! :)

edit: the expected rate keeps falling - now at <7WDC/h just in the time it took to write the above... curious!

fixed

for 2 mh it should be like 6.7 with current difficulty. and that indicator does really some black magic to calculate just for some average info, please dont rely on that yet. i've got to improve calculations on it further.

this entry in the block stats is pretty weird.. what does it mean? :P

37,452    Confirmed!   BrigitteLin   18 minutes ago   32.1   0   Inf   1   NaN

Thank you for the explanation! :-)

Those are rejected blocks that were mistakenly sent to stats with wrong status. already fixed, those should never come up again

All pools crashed is everything ok?

With 15 second blocks, I hate having shares of 128 difficulty.  Any possibility for VARDIFF or a share difficulty of 32 or 64?

Also, I added these settings and they helped a ton.  For config file users here are the parameters

"expiry" : "5",
"scan-time" : "1",
"queue" : "0",

is this one the largest pool or it is still wdc.dontmine.me?

lol, looks wdc.dontmine.me still the largest  ;D

all ok, that was a short hang

if you sum up both wdcpools, it'd be more than dontmine.me ;)

drop in! coinchoose.com says its 254% profit! :)

Hi
I was mining on both your pools and realised when i stop mining one of them after a few hours I still have some valid but unpaid shares in my account (128 in pool 1 and 40 in pool 2). Could you look into this please? Nickname is the same.

should be fixed now, that was just cache not updating properly. but why did you stop mining? :)

Im still there on pool 1 atm with my small worker and testing a p2pool with my rig.  :)
The unpaid shares didnt change.

check again. those were shares from rejected blocks not accounted as invalid somehow. fixed.

Yes they disappeared.  :)

actually they've gone to the invalid counter.
btw, be aware that i'm flushing old shares (paid and invalid shares that are older than three hours) few times a day to keep the database snappy, so those counters will decrease accordingly.

After dontmineme problem Im moving a smaller pool.
How much is you total hash erundook?

first one is 500mh/s, second one 700mh/s

on wdc 1, miners are reporting normal low to 0 stales, but your console shows 50 valid shares, 209 invalid for Paid Shares. What gives?

those invalid shares are for orphaned blocks, not only for invalid shares from cgminer

Network hashrate: 2252.71 MH/s Pool hashrate: 1004.85 MH/s
where's my champaign... got to celebrate :D

I can't cash out, what happened ?

I enter the PIN, the message that the operation was successful, but the money is not debited from the account.

yep i've found some bugs with the manual cashout function so please use automatic withdrawal for now.

Auto payment seemed to have stalled as well. 

should be fixed now

Yep.  Thanks.

I didn't receive auto payment for more than hour even when I change payment limit below my current account balance, please check that.

please call in your account id and pool number(wdcpool or wdcpool2 - i know this is the thread for latter, but should be explicit to avoid confusion) - i'll check that and get in touch

Not sure if you done sth but it seems that problem is fixed for now, I got my payment ;-)

Thanks! work.

you welcome. i'm sorry for the inconvenience, this happened due to global pool code changes which were to prevent pool1 from sending out extra payments thus stop losing our hard mined coins

for those wondering why they get less coins than coin calculator show, please read:

hope that will help to understand

What does "Lost 12 shares due to stratum disconnect on pool 0" mean?

I've now just had "Lost 13 shares due etc", what causes that?

All my other miners are connected fine to other pools.

[2013-05-22 15:44:56] Pool 0 stratum+tcp://wdcpool2.erundook.net:3334 not responding!

[2013-05-22 15:45:30] Lost 9 shares due to stratum disconnect on pool 0

 ???

hmm thats weird. i can see alot of shares coming in, so thats not a server problem obviously. you could try my other pool - i've split them to different countries so you can now choose wisely which one works best for you. (look at those links at my sig)

Thanks for checking, seems to have settled down now, must have been a comms thing.

i'd still recommend to compare your results with EU pool to make sure you're getting best results possible.

http://wdcpool.erundook.net/ Hashing power 5800kh/s , how much coins per day i can mine?

take a look at coins/hr indicator after a hour or two of mining, and multiply that with 24

worldcoinpool.com scamming , only 40% of shares are paid. Hope this one better?

i cant say anything about that one, but we're definitely not scamming here. i've got two pools for two geographical regions and stats are all the way transparent. you should see just everything about number of shares, their costs, your payouts for each round, etc.
doing my best to provide the most awesome pools here.

This one pays me and erundook is always around to sort issues.

just to mention. i've finally got some free time to get a domain name for my pools. check the new links at my sig.

del...

sry what?

it works like ....

 Paid Shares
?
Your valid: 1481
Invalid: 979

try another pool. if you was on wdc-us (wdcpool2) try wdc-eu (wdcpool). they're in different geo zones so one of them should definitely work better for you

i was on 2 , now i switched to 1 :

 Your valid: 2032
Invalid: 257

still high rate...

My Invalids were about 30% when I started. not sure why but it calmed down to about 10% now.

i am currently working on a big software update that should reduce number of stale/rejected blocks & shares. this is going to production in a day or two. stay tuned :)

Do we need to change the host on our miners?  Until when will the erundook hosts be valid?

i am not removing those anytime soon. you don't have to change anything now unless you want to :)

had just moved part of software update which is supposed to fight orphans/stales to production. let me know if anything will change in the next hours

Is the pool down, mining still going but can't access the web site?

should be online. try refreshing, we were changing server behind the ddos-protected ip.

This is what i'm getting on the laptop Core Duo T2350 @ 1.86GHz, ubuntu 13.04x32 bit.

What do you think is this too low? I know it's old but maybe i can get a bit more.

i bet it takes more power than coins value

I know, i just wonder what this cpu is capable of when it comes to mining.

i am stopping stratum at the wdcpool2 now (wdc-us). please move your mining to http://wdc.epools.org or any other of my pools :)
i will also stop stats update after all current blocks get confirmed. please withdraw your balances from that pool so i could shut it down completely.

did you see there is a possible exploit in the Litecoin code?  can you address it please?  I was also mining LTC and lost a lot of coins due to it.  Scammers could be increasing their hashes at pools.

i have pm'd wemineltc pool owners for details on that and for any help to address the issue. i will post in the first pool's topic as i get a response.

I have forced payouts to everyone who had a payout address now. Still got some coins at pool balance for users that didn't set a payout address. come on guys, take your coins out of this pool and switch over to the http://wdc.epools.org !

block stats on wdc.epools.org stalled? 

seems okay to me. there was an update roughly at that time, then you could expect rare stats updates until it was installed. everything is running smooth at this moment.

Yes, seems okay now.

any idea why my account balance is set to -0.00000 for a while ? - after I got the last withdrawal there seem no new payments coming in my account. Thanks a lot.

there was an abusive user that caused a bug which stopped payouts until i was awake to sort this out and restart the payments. should be fixed in few minutes.

let's abuse the abuser! :) Thanks a lot for the great pool and support.

you welcome :)

Pool is offline :(

worldcoind pool 2 is offline for several weeks already.
and the wdc.epools.org was offline due to a server failure. got back up & running now
