Title: Pool Owners, I am tired Post by: barwizi on June 20, 2013, 03:16:32 PM Just tried to cash out from 6 of the pools i hold coins, wtf ??? all of them have manual cash out disabled. Is this a new scam or their way of trying to squeeze a bit more hash power from me?

Is this a new scam or their way of trying to squeeze a bit more hash power from me? manual cash out being disabled usually means they are short of funds in the wallet. why? i dunno. i never had to disable my pools manual payout. i wonder why they have to.

Is this a new scam or their way of trying to squeeze a bit more hash power from me? manual cash out being disabled usually means they are short of funds in the wallet. why? i dunno. i never had to disable my pools manual payout. i wonder why they have to. Likely due to the mmfce bugs that allowed people to steal coins via manual cash-out. I know I've cleaned up the problem on all my pools except one (simply because I haven't wanted to touch my DGC pool yet). If my dgc pool happens to be on your list, let me know :) (upgrade coming within the next 3 days). FWIW, you can generally just set an auto-threshold of anything below your current balance, and it'd send out your entire balance on next site update.

This one? https://github.com/TheSerapher/php-mmcfe-ng Title: Re: Pool Owners, I am tired Post by: nearmiss on June 20, 2013, 03:37:09 PM don't think so, but my stuff was pretty heavily customized anyways. The bug itself is in payout.php, fwiw. thesilverwolf pool op has some posts somewhere with more details, as I believe his SBC pool was hit with it early on.

Either people are trying to do many manual payouts in less then a second or there is a race condition between manual and auto payouts via the scripts. I am using greedi's fork. Title: Re: Pool Owners, I am tired Post by: nearmiss on June 20, 2013, 03:45:27 PM people are scripting posts to the payout form in quick succession, before the script has a chance to actually process/update the balance in the db. So they get like 5-6 withdraws in before the balance is 0. Mine a few more coins and repeat.
Search your ledger table for a transType of Debit_MP (I think it is) to view manual payouts. If you see a whole bunch within seconds all going to 1 address, all for the same amount....he's exploiting this bug.

Payout.php deals with autopayouts, not manual. Title: Re: Pool Owners, I am tired Post by: nearmiss on June 20, 2013, 03:48:07 PM don't think so, but my stuff was pretty heavily customized anyways.

( I moved my stuff to payouts.php as part of the cron, as a solution, hence the mis-step) Title: Re: Pool Owners, I am tired Post by: fcmatt on June 20, 2013, 03:51:37 PM thanks for the info all. looks like it is pretty easy to fix. I do not see a public fix for greedi's fork tho which could save me some time.

I do not see a public fix for greedi's fork tho which could save me some time. I just changed it to set a flag in the db, which a cron then picks up and processes (essentially doing exactly what auto-payout is). Assuming your site updates are within a reasonable time, the end user experiences no real difference. They get their coins in $siteUpdateInterval amount of time. Just one option though, I am sure there are plenty of ways to fix it.

Just one option though, I am sure there are plenty of ways to fix it. your idea was a good one. I posted a fix in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=239207.msg2533156#msg2533156 only complaint i have heard so far is some people want a txid immediately. i countered that mmcfe did not give it in the first place. |
