Old simplecoin thread

[HeroMiner]

Stats seem to be correct now, thanks a bunch!

[bitblazing]

My BTC est is way off.

[HeroMiner]

Mine too again.

My "Valid This Round" shares were just lowered, while my lifetime shares are rising..

I came here to ask about this. I just pointed my GPU miner here and apart from the 4% invalids I'm getting, I also noticed this. My "estimated" payout should be much, much higher at this point (it's 0.001 BTC from a 420mhash miner, and I'm in the top 20 of people contributing) and my shares per round have been reset a couple of times now.

Are you considering a "round" to be the entire period between the last time we found a block and now, or the last time the network found a block and now? The former is correct, the latter is problematic...

edit: okay, you're looking into it, good then

Ok, I've tried to clear up the issue of earnings. Now I'll try again.

The old calculation was wrong, I've said it several times in here.

The new calculation is closer. The estimation is just that, an estimation. The real calculation for cheat-proof scoring is too complex to run often. Think 3-4 minutes of sql queries at max load.

For a good estimate: (your valid round shares/total round shares) * 50 btc we get on solved block.

This will be close to actual earnings, which are slightly weighted to discourage cheating.

Yep, think I got that issue nailed down. It shouldn't affect payment either way.

edit: it may not show up for 10min, since I did not re-run the jobs.


AND....... Another DDOS attack on the pool

I will have to leave the pool unattended later, if there is another attack while I am out or sleeping I apologize. I'll have it up again this time, and am looking into solutions.

[DarkStar]

ever consider a private pool?

[TheRandomGuy]

When I try to run the cpu-miner on linux. It says: [error] (bitcoin.c:86) This plugin is GPU only!

I'm kind of new to this...

[Anonymous687]

Wow, I can get my coins. Yesterday I had 0.40 estimated. Now I have 0.25 estimated, and thats just estimated, It says I dont have anything on my account!

[bitblazing]

Can I get my coins paid out. This down time is too much for me

[RyNinDaCleM]

What has happened over here?

[HeroMiner]

Simplecoin - I think it will be best, if you keep the pool offline for a few days, fix the DDoS vulnerability and make it more stable.

If you let it run the way it currently does, you will scare away your entire userbase .

[kiwiasian]

Sigh, I'm moving to a more stable pool.

Agreed, pool is offline

I will put the site back up in a bit so those with an available balance can cashout.

Thanks for the hard work!  I'll be back when things are worked out.

[HeroMiner]

Yea, me too. This is a great pool, when its running .

[sirj]

Sorry, Thanks.

[simplecoin]

I appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately the timing of these attacks (not just ddos, people were attempting exploits, none succeded) was also during a time when I was mostly unavailable. I am going to have the site locked down when I bring it back up. DDOS protection, complete security, and better explanation of stats to avoid confusion.

All of your hard work is being kept. Any shares you contributed will be counted. While the site/pool is down,  I will try to accomodate anyone with a positive available (not estimated) balance who wants to cashout.

[RyNinDaCleM]

For reference, do you have an estimated date of launch? So I, and everyone else can keep an eye open for it!
And, Thanks for the hard work!

Not yet, but I'm estimating mid-week.
