Deposits of alt coins to vircurex seem to be not working. If you are mining alt coins with a vircurex address you might want to avoid withdrawing until the situation is resolved.

It's not hours that defines whether a round is longer than usual, it's the number of shares compared to difficulty. At the moment we're about 2.5x difficulty which is nothing extreme. There have been 10x difficulty rounds before! The only cure for long round times in terms of hours is higher hash rate. @doublec - What is the reason the gap for when you stop mining and your expected payout starts to decline is so short? It seems almost instant. Every once and a while I have computer/block erupter trouble that I usually fix within 10 minutes or so but by that time I notice I already have started to lose estimated payout (and much faster than at the rate it took to "charge up").
It depends how many shares are found by others during the time you're offline. You'll still discharge over time in other blocks that matches up with your charge rate. Discharging takes quite a few blocks IIRC. |

Something wrong with international lines???
Where are you based (What country)? |

It looks like CGminer bug. I use cgminer-nogpu and it crashes... And I tested on 3.1.1 and 3.3.1. But to get any help from CGminer team is from my experience mission impossible...
"-D -P" works for me on cgminer v3.3.1 on 64bit Linux. Maybe it's a Windows thing. I'll continue to look into the disconnect issue but it's difficult without being able to reproduce. |

I can give you access to this miner if that will help. But for some resone I can't run -D
If you can solve the -D/-P problem and get logs it will be helpful otherwise there's not much I can do. |

I would really like to use this pool but I can't till this gets fixed...
I'm not getting them. Is anyone else getting disconnects? |
|

Its weird i0coin is only 6. Also p2pool mm miners are considered solo miners.
It started at 48 IIRC. It's halved a few times since then. |

No it is 3.x cgminer problem again. I have 3.1.1 and 3.3.1. It was OK for a while but now they are back... And only on your pool...
I use 3.3.0 with no problem. I'll try the latest version 3.3.3. |

Can you provide me with logs? Preferably protocol dumps (-P I think) around the time a disconnect occurs. |

I was under the impression that we would get several hundred of coins each day since pool op said it had super low difficulty but i guess either he gets them all or i miss out on something with less then 0,01 per day on these coins  There are only 6 i0coins generated on each block so the number of i0coins produced is low. Divide that by the large number of people in the pool with an i0coin address and this is why you're not seeing a lot. There's other big miners mining the chain as well. This pool only gets about 30% of the blocks - the other 70% must be solo miners and/or another big pool. |

2 disconnects in less the 30 seconds... New coins are doing something to the pool I guess... Please do something...
Are you using bfgminer? If so, what version? Do you get the same disconnects on cgminer? I'm running USB ASIC on cgminer with no disconnects. |

If you say 'plenty of time', you probably mean more than a week. What timespan do you recommend? (2 weeks, month, 2 months?)
I'd need a week to schedule testing and upgrade but whatever you think is best beyond that. |

So has doublec committed to the hardfork? I think that's pretty important, as he's the highest profile pool mining i0coin.
I'll go along with whatever the current coin developer and users prefer. It'll be helpful if there is plenty of time from the release of the code to when it activates. I'm only about 30% of the network though so it'll take time for the new version to get a majority on the network. |

So somebody spent 200BTC more than they had? Wow, new industries always have these types of schemes until the model is perfected. I remember ebay had all sorts of scams on it for the first few years. People were selling entire towns that they didn't even own. It was funny to see but not if you had bought a building in a faraway county or country just to find out you really bought a picture taken by some kid.
No, they sold more i0coins than they had. Exploit looks like this (it's a 51% attack): 1. Start mining on a forked chained, not publishing your blocks. 2. Transfer 100,000 i0coins to exchange. Don't include this transaction in your fork in (1). 3. Once i0coins have all confirmed, sell them and withdraw the bitcoins. 4. When your fork in (1) is past the main chain, publish it. As it includes all transactions except (2) this rolls back your transaction and you get your i0coins back. You now have the bitcoins and the i0coins. 5. Repeat from (1) as many times as you can before the exchange notices. This is why low hash rate chains are so dangerous for exchanges. |

I remember I bought them on doublec exchange, but I could be wrong. I still have the username and the password for the exchange, but don't have the URL. Maybe it was this one: https://exchange.bitparking.com/It would have been http://ixchange.bitparking.com which was closed, along with the i0coin exchange I ran, when the i0coin exchange got double spent for 200 bitcoins. |

I've noticed the last 2 rounds have been quite long (19+ hours). Is this purely luck?
Yes, unfortunately luck has not been great the last few rounds. |

Anyone have any advise, suggestions Info on mining here? I dont know a lot about Merged mining But assume my knc miner will work here..
It should work fine on the stratum server. If you have any issues feel free to post here and someone will try and help. |

Well, I wouldn't blame the exchanges if they waited until bitparking has < 50% of the hashrate (more pools/p2pminers needed!). Bitparking has 25% of ixcoin, it must be coming from somewhere (private instances of p2pool?). (auxpows can now be examined through getblock in latest git).
Bitparking has currently around 50 immature blocks out of 120. It floats from 30-55 over the last few days. That means it has less than 50% of the hash rate. Bitparkings entire hashrate isn't used on i0coin as I don't react to blocks found meaning I get a lot of stale share submissions. There's at least one other big miner mining the chain. For ixcoin and devcoin there are other big miners mining it too - When I last investigated it was disqus fish and/or 'made in china' IIRC. |

Why the hell is the blockchain so ducking big?
It's a pretty old coin with a 1.5 minute or so block time. It's a good example of what bitcoin will be like when it gets this many blocks. |

If I don't have those addresses set, then does the pool keep those coins? Is that part of what keeps your lights on?
Yes, the pool keeps the coins. Enough miners are claiming the existing coins so that they waver around break even. The new coins I expect the pool will be able to build up a buffer before people add to their addresses so it provides a base for handling PPS swings. |
