Looks like a flask app?

Yes I've been intentionally cryptic to protect the product. PM sent.

I spotted the website down yesterday too, do you think they went PPSBust or simply turned off the 0.450THs

Must have experience with a mix of node.js, twisted python, flask python, also redis and postgresql.

Previous work needs to be demonstrated before applicant will be accepted.

PM me for more.

Who's guessing anything, PROP=HOP everyone knows that. I just pointed out some benefits.


This is actually a good idea, in fact does any PPS pool ever do proof of reserves?

You don't see the benefit of a simple system that has little risk?
Don't get me wrong a standard implementation of a PROP is no good but it must be safer for operator and miners compared to a pool going bankrupt before it even starts.

PROP methods on poolware have benefits, it's simply to understand and no operation risk.
The operator should of course find ways to be more effective with rewards when hashing increases.
As for PPS methods, definitely not for the small timer / novice.
 

In a different scenario to the OP. One miner or a group could send garbage to the pool and cause a denial of service for other users.
Would the attacker be considered scamming the pool if they were leveraging accepted shares while others suffered?

jonnybravo0311, just wanted to say thanks for maintaining this long running comparison. Great job. 

Hi Xan, I'm confused by a few things

1) From the OP I clicked https://public.deltapool.net/ and it takes me to DragonWOW Forums. What's the connection?
Was it supposed to be https://forums.deltapool.net/ ? Maybe SSL error.
 
2) When I jumped back to https://deltapool.net the main page reads

"DeltaPool is currently a private ASIC mining pool, we will be accepting miners into the pool with a selection process on our forums"

But there isn't any threads in your forum relating to the selection process? Who qualifies?

PoW is probably the most intensive and energy costly arrangement but I also see it as the simplest and therefore going to be around the longest.

bump..

$5k probably went to Zhenya's $300k salary lol

But props to the Mintsy team the platform is looking good.

Also external pool redirections are probably being done via stratum's extranonce.subscription, this can be tricky if not implemented well.

If you're looking forward to being a nerd and playing with a new toy buy an Antminer and get tinkering.

Otherwise get on a hassle free Cloud/Rental service, your ROI is still slim but if you're allowed to redirect the hash to a solo pool you could take a risk and win big.

The only time you should be turning your miners off is to power cycle them, lol.

Also, It's heading into winter here in Australia, so of cause we stacked a few s3's around the house to warm things up. BTC

cpu mining on bitcoin, this is a totally wasted gamble.. sell that junk old pc, rent a real miner and point it at ck's solo pool.

I'm in Australia and I've had problems connecting to the front end of antpool, f2pool, eligius.st and BAN.

Antpool claims to be under maintenance but I think their just suffering.

Under maintenance?

Are you sure you're not getting attacked.. I'm in Australia and I've had problems connecting to the front end of antpool, f2pool, eligius.st and BAN.

I know others have experienced problems, ref:

As an enterprise miner I have the utmost confidence in digitalBTC they've been making lots a of smart moves since their inception. The Cryptsy team too, their exchange operations from verification to trading have been spot on for me. 

But. I simply can't stand a typical sales/marketing ploy that involves advertising 6-10 months in advance, offering a cash price with no signs of payment and then dropping hints about beta tests when it all still seems very private, closed and probably still along way away.

It's nice to have read about the BetaRigs participation recently and I'm sure in the end Mintsy.co will be a great platform- provided the users don't accidently type .com every time. 

Can you provide us any more information?

I've not been involved with Graet.Loan but I'm familiar with it, any unregulated and unsecured debt is a risky investment. I still have hope for those that helped finance it.
Regarding Ozcoin, it's a shame it didn't last against the bigger pools and falling prices. From memory it had good market share for awhile.
Also with all the successful BTC startups come from Australia igot, coinjar and digitalbtc. I just figured Ozcoin, one of the oldest mining pools would still have had some following.




Haha, double posts suck but I have to say the comment about 'his new Karples costume' gets me laughing again.

Block generation is a very clever thing. Transactions are broadcast to the network by the sender, and all peers trying to solve blocks collect the transaction records and add them to the block they're working to solve.
However, the individual miners may receive knowledge of transactions in different order, select transactions to include in blocks by different rules, or may not yet have received every transaction that is currently unconfirmed. Therefore, each miner has an individual subset of the same set of unconfirmed transactions.
Once a block is found, then ALL the peers get a notification that a new block was found and they add it to their respective chains. That is how all the peers stay synchronized on the same chain.
One thing not to get confused about is when a block is solved on the network pools/workers don't really "start over" they just start hashing different data. It also doesn't take a block being solved to change the data being hashed, for example, new transactions can trigger new work being sent to the miners.
