Kilo17, you star.  

Well done.  You have a nice bonus on the way too.

[HerbPean]

Congrats guys !

[bctmke]

Woooo

Thats funny.  I took a quick look at the site just to see how we were doing and a quick glance the shares looked wrong .. it took me about 30 seconds to realize we had hit a block LOL.

Congrats Kilo!!

[bctmke]

I am really sorry for what I had stupidly remarked earlier. I was in bad temper due to some personal problems and I just bombarded it here too! So I take back my rude remark.

Btw congrats to kilo17 for this achievement. At least I got some share for his ultimate effort. I am also thinking of coming back here and sharing some of my powers to repent for my remark.

Also I have one question before I start: Suppose I have a valid share of 100K today. Will those shares become zero after 15 days if I do not mine from tomorrow and a block is not found within 15 days? And will I get paid for all the shares if I mine everyday until a block is found?  

I have read his post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1293193.msg13337241#msg13337241) but if Jonny can help me make that explanation more simpler for me. (I know he is angry with me but I'm really sorry for what happened earlier )

Your shares dont ever go away.  They'll get paid out next block that is found

Hi Indianacoin,

First, I'd like to clear something up: I am not angry with you.  I was simply correcting things you stated that were untrue.  This pool has found 2 blocks since I started it; both blocks were under 100% of expected shares.  The first block was found at 27.41% and the second block found this morning was at 88.27%.  The pool's total luck so far is 161.38% (113,383,403,265 actual shares of 182,982,721,716 expected shares).

Also, I tried explaining how PPLNS works in another post here on this thread.  You can find that explanation here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1293193.msg13342849#msg13342849.  Hopefully that'll help you out.

At least you'll earn a payout for those shares

[papadrams]

A good payout!!!! 0.5 BTC 

[jonnybravo0311]

Yup... not a bad little bit of coin

[jonnybravo0311]

Well... it appears I've gotten notice.  I saw I had a new PM, so I read it.  In an effort to be fully transparent with the miners on my pool, here is the message I received:



I find it incredibly absurd that somebody would target this pool for any kind of attack.  We've found 2 blocks and the pool's liquid assets aren't even worth the ransom this guy is demanding.

Please make sure you've got a backup configured just in case this attack does occur.

[papadrams]

Unfortunately i can't understand many of that, but sounds bad..
Cant we barricade the pool somehow??

It must be a slow day at the extortion office......

[jonnybravo0311]

Seriously... those guys must be bored out of their minds or exceptionally desperate to make a couple bucks.  As for protection, I've got minimal access to the pool's servers.  The database is not exposed to any outside ports, only allowing connections from internal private IPs.  I've modified the stratum code to address known exploits.  I know the user accounts, and who's actually hashed on my pool.  I take regular snapshots of the database and will ensure I grab one prior to the time mentioned in the threat.

I'm hopeful this is nothing more than an empty threat.  I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Friggin' keyboard tough-guys; I hate cowardly, sniveling little brats who talk big when hiding behind their computer screens but wouldn't dare to even look you in the eye if you ever met in 3D.

Stupid punks - Steve Martin said it best years ago, "People like that should be taken out and maimed."

Bravo to you, Jonny, for doing the bitcoin community right in how you're running your pool.  You are to be commended for that.

[jonnybravo0311]

Thanks for the compliments, and I agree wholeheartedly regarding the keyboard-tough.  Makes me wish that Hollywood tech was real and I could backtrace the guys who post these things and have the Hulk show up on his doorstep
