Awesome. Thankyou.

I turned off payouts for today, as you suggested in the official thread (no transactions). If everything is running smoothly, auto-payouts will be enabled again. How much time do you think this will take?

Thanks!

As far as i can see all hard fork points have been passed. It is merely a matter of remaining clients rolling over to further add stability the network. I was able to send coins to and from btcltc 12 hrs ago. Let me check again and I'd say we are safe to go.

POS rewards now have slowed down which has helped.

My coins I had in my pool balance disappeared. I mined a modest amount until about block 50000. Same worker/username as here. I have nothing listed on my transactions page, but I know I had a balance of at least a couple million COL. Please let me know

The wallet got emptied as rewards were not accounted properly during the issue. Some miners got their rewards twice or three times, some got none. I lost about 30M on this, I can not compensate anybody. :( The best I can do is to reduce the fee to zero until the next few days.

Thanks, and sorry for the mess.

Torzsy,

Please fix your Pool up.  When COL Forked back to about 60000 from 70800, your Pool had shown Blocks that should have been marked as orphaned AND left documented on the site.  Additionally, if there is a duplicate BLOCK #, it overwrites it.  It should not OVERWRITE but create a duplicate block number using the combination (Primary keys) of Block Number AND Date/Time to make it unique.  This way we can determine which blocks are good or not.

Please have Pool software updated/fixed.

At this time, all the pools seem to have issues with orphaned blocks at COL, same with solo mining on my side, only 4 out of 15 blocks confirmed today.

Don't think it's pool related.

Sure, just need some time until funds arrive. Pool lost again about 22M coins after the issue today. There wasnt manual payout option from the beginning.

Thanks, I keep you posted.

I know that COL had a fork issue and took over 800 blocks to figure that out.  The problem with the POOL was that the POOL should be able to handle the issue as well correctly.  This is what I am reporting to you is that the POOL Software did not handle the forking correctly and since it reverted back a bunch of blocks, it did not mark those old blocks as orphans.  There should be a check for Backtracked blocks, and if it happened, it would reverse the payouts to that point.  I understand that miners would lose coin but it can be easily recouped when they start mining again.  I know I owe ya some coin because of this and turned on my donation to the site.

Yes, you are right, maybe in the future this will be implemented. In an ideal case forks like that shouldnt happen so no need to reset those transactions.

Thanks for you donation. :) In 5-6 blocks balance will be positive again.

We have been mining on the wrong chain for a day. Pool is shutting down due these recent problems. I dont have time and energy to babysit on this coin. If Muddafudda comes out with a solution for this, pool opens again.

Frontend is opened, please login and set auto withdraw to the lowest value to let system pay out your coins.

I sent 10M from my own wallet to the pool address, its confirming, so everything seems fine now.

Code:
    {
        "account" : "",
        "address" : "28txXZfe7K6Uqv9ERBp3Ritdu9mj8Au4Tb",
        "category" : "receive",

        "confirmations" : 3,
        "blockhash" : "0000000112e23d9f22a8d0bf8636b86a2fceef29f87bbd990640e88dd8037730",

        "time" : 1379757863,
        "tx-comment" : "",
        "timereceived" : 1379757863
    }

The unconfirmed transactions remain unconfirmed as they happened on the wrong chain.

Thanks, and sorry for this mess.

Maintenance mode is on until I get some answer from dev that new 1.4 version is running fine. Please read post above.

Please PM your username I will check your balance!

HI Torzsy,

I got hit with the same problem.  Unfortunately I withdrew when it occurred.  Could you please verify and see?
Some of the coin withdrawn are from before the fork... I understand some of the coin may be missing due to the fork but those that were there before the fork should still be in your wallet.  Could you please forward those or restore the funds in the Pool and I will recover it.

Thanks.

Hello,

We was on the wrong chain for a day, this transaction must be during that time, if its still not confirmed. It was before the 1.4 patch, however I dont know if this issue any longer exists on 1.4

Database was rolled back to the point before the problem. Sorry for this, hope it will never happen again with the new patch.

Best regards

Sorry, but I cant get those coins back to you, as they left the wallet during the fork. That transaction will never be confirmed. You lost those coins. :( Check official COL thread, there are cases like this with billions. I also lost coins 3 times from the pool wallet, and I couldnt do anything about that.  :-\

Yes I understand the Withdrawal is gone... However, some of the COIN before the Forked block can be recovered.  Could you at least try to recover those for me please?  I know it would not be the full amount.

Suggestion for the pool if this does happens in the future:

- Add a script to MySQL if it detects that the Coin has forked (If New Block < Previous Block) Set the site automatically and immediately into Maintenance Mode and stop the stratum server.
- Have All forked blocks moved out into a forked table.  Display the forked tables in a separate table so that people can see what was lost.
- Any withdrawals that occurred during the fork, all pre-forked coins need to be returned to the users.  Need to find the Forked block #, check the failed withdrawal to see which blocks were paid out up to the previous payout.  Set those failed paid out coins back to nonpaid mode so that users can withdraw them again.

The coin may have faulted but the Pool Server should ADAPT to the problem.  This is like the Gas Peddle being stuck open.  It should never happen but after 2-300 cases of gas peddle being stuck needs attention.  A redesign is needed.  The coin Creator did his...  but the Pool software also needs its fixes too.

Thank you for this description. But Im a pool operator, not a dev. I do this for the community, and for fun. I dont have time and energy to do this. I will enable LP and disable Stratum as a last chance. If its not working, Im out of business for these pools.

youre going about it the wrong way. you should record the list of all transactions ntil the forked block and delete everything from the tx table after that block. you should also rescan the wallet that way any coins until the fork are recovered. yes i know what im talking about im the crypto-expert pool OP and had the same problem when GME Forked

Im not saying i dont know how to solve this, I just simply dont want to do it 3 times a week. Until COL issues are solved, I wont waste more time on this.
