Title: bitcoinpool problem?
Post by: rnd0000 on July 02, 2011, 05:53:46 PM
Hi!

I was happily mining with the bitcoinpool. There were some intermittent problems, but those were not affecting my mining process.
Today alittle bit different story happened. As far as I understand, auth does not work any more. The hashrate of the pool is 0.

What makes it really the problem to me, is that miners continue to to do their work only to see all their blocks rejected!

Is it some kind of cheating or just innocent problem? Its wasting my computing resources. (Ok, I was able to hop to another pool
for most of my miners, but still wasting 100Mh/s with the one I have no remote control over.)

The forum of the bitcoinpool is also unavailable, so I post here (being a "newbie" on the
forum.bitcoin.org).

IRC people gave me some hints:

but still, its pretty bad imho to close the mining pool while wasting computer power of its participants...
