This appears incorrect. I have 9 miners running full time, and 2 more I occasionally use, max 11 total. Never an RPC error.

About $6.10/day. That sounds like an awesome deal - for you

Here's a little reality check on your offer. During this past week, I've averaged 7.1XMG/day, this is with 1 MH of mining power. Let's be really generous and call your rig 250KH, it would have averaged 1.775XMD/day. 1XMG=$0.239093 X 1.775 = $0.424390075/day. Great deal. Let me offer a better deal to anyone interested. I will, because of my generous nature, happily sell a $1 bill to anyone who wants one for just $10  

Why does all this bullshit about high hashrate users persist? If a pool tosses a big user, only 2 things happen. The pool loses some income, and the user simply goes elsewhere. Another pool, start their own private pool, or mine solo. Any of those give 0 change in total hashrate and 0 difference in coin earnings. OK, maybe the hashrate will drop for a few hours before they realize they've been kicked, but that's all.

Do any of you REALLY BELIEVE you can control these users?

I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to get rid of the datacenter/botnet based miners, just saying it ain't gonna happen. Unless you've got a really ingenious method in mind, you are just beating a very dead (and badly decayed by now) horse and making yourself look like a whiny fool.

Do this and we'll see exponentially rising hashrate that never stops, just like bitcoin, etc.
The current rewards system doesn't work as well as hoped to keep hashrate (and power usage) under control, but it does work. If the minimum reward was fixed at 10XMG, I bet we'd top 1 GH in under 3 months.

Sounds like you've got around 100KH or so. How much you get, whether solo mining or in a pool, is determined by your hashrate, difficulty, and block value. Difficulty and block value vary quite a bit based on network hashrate. Higher hashrate gives higher difficulty and lower block reward. I'm seeing about 2.5-3 XMG/day at 1MH. Earnings will vary proportionately to hashrate, so you can get a good estimate by comparing our hashrates. Of course this can change greatly based on many factors, but still as good of an estimate as you can get.

The last several weeks have indeed been good. But the best was a few days ago when all the large pools were on the wrong chain. 643 XMG in a little under 12 hours

I've gotten about 5 or 6 since upgrading to v1.4.6.2. This is solo mining @ 1MH. No big blocks anymore, about .4-1.1 XMG each.

I got a feeling the number is wrong, my wallet is showing 217MH total. Still, it seems more like someone trying to make a point than an actual miner. Or maybe seeing if the hack will still work?

Well, it's up to me to secure my wallet. If I run a malware infected computer and use some cute girls name for a wallet "password", it's on me.

As for what people are running to get those big hash numbers? Nothing special. Just regular desktop or server type computers, but a whole bunch of them. Thing someone working at a hosting company or large school/university. They don't buy the machines or pay the electric bills, so it's all good. Maybe someone with access to a supercomputer, but that's a big risk of getting caught.

Shit! I'm suddenly feeling very inadequate with my puny 1MH

Sure, we'll fine them $5000/day until the problem is solved? Maybe throw the owner in jail for 6 months? Would this fill your need for justice?  

Or, you could just choose not to mine there if you don't like how they run things. Seriously, will you fucking crybabies ever stop? You want rules, crypto is probably not for you.

The posters English is fine, he's using Russian for fun. No problem, google translate works fine.

He told us. His node is the master. Then I mine all day connected only to his node, and he suddenly decides to change to another chain. Complete shit move on his part, which STOLE the coins I had just mined out of my wallet. Vitalek has not stolen, Joe has. His handling of the current mess really makes me doubt he has the skill to fix the current problem or keep the coin viable long term.

The current temporary solution is actually quite simple. Provide a master node that is deemed to be valid. Any chains that deviate from that master are orphaned forks, those that follow it are the valid fork. Everyone can understand that and winning or losing is their own fault. Sadly old Joe even seems to fuck this up.

Not down, he changed which chain he was on. Official chain open to change at a whim. You need to get a copy of the blockchain from a few days ago, then re-sync. Then all will be good, until it isn't.

I was mining on the *OFFICIAL* chain, according to the developer. I would not expect that to get rolled back. Yet for some reason he chose to go with a different chain? You can't blame that on Vitalik. I'm not really sure why any pools were not on the official chain anyway, but that should have been their problem.

Yes, I am seriously blaming Joe. If he says 1 chain is official & correct, stick with that. Otherwise he should just say "roll the dice and take your chances". Were it not for Joe's words, I would have been on the minerclaim pool, as they seemed to be the majority.

Wallet wouldn't sync when developers node came back. I rolled back the blockchain to the last good snapshot I had, from about 8 days ago and re-synced. Guess what? All the goddamn coins I've mined in the last 24 hours disappeared I've been on developers "official" chain only, as we've all been told is "correct" chain and the prick decides to pick a different chain and rob me of my coins. Thanks Joe, you thieving fuckin' asshole!

Minerclaim is on correct fork? But they're about 100 blocks ahead of Joe's node. I thought Joe's node was supposed to be official?

Is joe's node still "Correct? It seems about 50 blocks behind minerclain & poolinfo, but the same as trasmamod.

It's useless for a pool to enforce a hash limit. Whales will just move to another pool, create their own, or solo mine.

That's surprising, last 2 days I've only got 2 blocks totaling a bit over 1 coin. Before attack I was doing a bit better. No tears though, I've enjoyed your gifts
