I would STRONGLY advise all miners to move away from any SPV pool, not just f2pool.

Great - just swapped over to the de node  ping to the US was 302ms, while to the de node it's only 54ms - much better! Let me know if you need anything else -ck. Nope, all good. Just make sure you still have a backup/failover set up as this code is all new and almost certainly there will be issues. I have ten times better latencies to de.ckpool.org than to node.ckpool.org, I have switched SP20 to de.ckpool.org... or?
Same thing. Seems to be okay now, just make sure you have a failover pool set up. Always  Many thanks again -ck. With all the nastyness going on atm, it's great that a dev such as yourself is willing to step in & help out us p2poolers |

Hi -ck, What a coincidence, only yesterday I was looking at your ckproxy repo with thoughts on this exact same thing. US West is a long way away from me here in Europe, but I'll point a small S3 at it for testing purposes - hopefully more p2pool users will help out also. Many thanks for taking the time & trouble to look into this & set it up - much appreciated |

I belive a 4 BTC is a reasonable price for a 4.86 Model, yes.
I think they are overpriced, especially if you take into account the poor support, broken promises of compensation, screwed cgminer fork, build quality, constant price swapping between USD/ BTC & lack of any info/communication on this forum.... |

Nice concept but there should be something like WLC Foundation which holds tax funds in a multi signature address.
After the mess the Bitcoin Foundation is in & has made, no thanks |

Sure, you can alter the client code to block addresses, but you can't just throw some addresses in a configuration file. As you've quoted, it was towards a specific release (Gentoo) and required changes to the underlying core code. I agree that somebody, if motivated enough, could in fact change the code to block kano's address; however, there are a whole lot of somebodies that would have to do the same thing to have a noticeable effect.
It is quite easy to make patch for such filtering and recompile bitcoind, a few hours max. Especially after recent 'dirty' mining talks here, kind of revenge.. I presume it would be just as easy to make a patch that would block all known SPV addresses? Just wondering....... |

So stratum is allowed to redirect spv.antpool.com to badforbitcoin.antpool.com

I am planning on porting Syscoin over to merge mine SHA256 rather than SCRYPT, would it be possible to add this coin to your list of merge minable coins? I am doing it on latest code base BTC 0.12 core so it is optimized and is basically a decentralized marketplace onchain. If we get a pool I will go ahead and code it up otherwise will stick with LTC merge mining. THanks!
I'm sure p2pool users would add syscoin to their merge mined nodes as well if you decided to port it to SHA256 |

BLOCK!!

Ok, i am on it Good man! |

Well, it would open up another option for anyone interested.... I know nothing of python, otherwise I'd have a go myself  Big fan of p2pool though. |

There is one for Freicoin with stratum support (i did fix it for FRC and could also fit it for WLC if needed).
Rik
I'd be interested in running a p2pool node for WLC if you can manage to do that Rik - it would help with adoption if miners could mine it using p2pool I think? |

Hey, I have a problem
I am not able to connect to this pool, can someone help me.
What node & settings are you using? |
|

Miners say all is good, but it would be nice if Bitmain would just give a little update.
Don't hold your breath - there is zero support from Bitmain on this pool. Use a real pool that doesn't SPV mine empty blocks & provides real support in a timely manner - you'll also be helping the network. |
|
|
|
Is there a p2pool fork for this?
Not that I'm aware of, but it does work very well with p2pool if you merge mine it. Out of all the daemons I run, this one uses the lowest resources of them all. |

I have finally managed to withdraw all my coins from Cryptsy as a precaution until the dust settles. I doubt I will be using them again though.

As many miners switch off their older (but p2pool compatible) miners due to inefficiency & electrical costs, I can't help but wonder what the future holds for p2pool unless a manufacturer steps up with something to rival bitmain or a dev steps in who can fix the broken bitmain firmware for use with p2pool. I can't hold my breath long enough for that to happen, & the more I think about it, the more I dislike bitmain - both their broken firmware & their empty block producing crappy SPV pool with zero support......  Spondoolies - rescue us please? Spondoolies have left the building. Their next generation is for farms only unless they come up with another product (which might happen). The Avalon A6s will work well with p2pool but as per the last generation they're pricier than the bitmain product. Yeah, I said that more out of jest/desperation than seriousness......  Like you say, the A6's are just not worth it, unless the BTC rate starts to skyrocket......soooooon |

you need to pay like 0.07 BTC to get on cryptoid.
Do you have a link how it works? 611 (SixEleven) is still missing a stable consumer demand.
That's because someone might have pre-mined over 50%....... |

It would be nice if bitmain gave us the option to have control over that.
Currently we have to run a modified firmware in order to actually submit stale shares? Changing the flag in the cgminer config has no effect on submits of stale shares??
Reading back through this thread, this has been a problem with bitmain throughout their entire miner range. Many people have asked them repeatedly to fix their driver/cgminer fork problems, but have been completely ignored (the same can be said for their pool support). What makes it particularly annoying is the fact that they lied, and continue to lie about their support of p2pool in their threads - & even go as far as to say that they help decentralize the network!! We are in a precarious position. The only mining hardware currently available on the planet does not work properly/efficiently with p2pool - the only truly decentralized pool. I have a few S7's & am thinking about buying a couple more, but it pi**es me off that in order to use them effectively I am forced to point them at a centralized pool instead of my preferred choice - p2pool. As many miners switch off their older (but p2pool compatible) miners due to inefficiency & electrical costs, I can't help but wonder what the future holds for p2pool unless a manufacturer steps up with something to rival bitmain or a dev steps in who can fix the broken bitmain firmware for use with p2pool. I can't hold my breath long enough for that to happen, & the more I think about it, the more I dislike bitmain - both their broken firmware & their empty block producing crappy SPV pool with zero support...... Spondoolies - rescue us please? |
