[~100 GH/s] x8s.de SSL/API/LP/Low Stale/8decimals/cookies

[redhatzero]

Hi,

The x8s pool (http://btc.x8s.de) now exists for a couple of weeks and we've reached a nice hashrate during this time. Although we're still a small pool, I think we don't have to hide

Short Info:

• multiple servers for better stability
• Worker monitoring (email alerts)
• Hashrate graphs
• Proportional Share with 1% Fee
• Longpoll
• Twitter updates for "Block found" and "Payment ready"
• SSL
• API (json)
• Achievement System is in early alpha stage
• Userbar
• IRC Channel
• 8 decimals for payout

Hi,

I'm currently working on a new pool. The basic things are done, but there's still some work to do.
But anyways, since I don't want to develop stuff in the wrong direction (because I'm looking at the pool through my red sunglasses of developer love...) I've decided to make a little announcment and hopefully gather some feedback what's missing, what could be improved or even what you like...

So, if you have some spare time: have a look at http://x8s.de , maybe sign up, maybe do some mining... and then, please tell me what you think 

Thanks

did you buy a script, is this with opensource software, or did you code it yourself?

[redhatzero]

It's a self coded frontend in Symfony to pushpool.

Just wanted to Post an update:

I've added a couple of more stats in the meantime & some nice graphs
And currently we're running at ~>3GHash/s

It's growing =)

[bronte]

This pool works great, no idles and very few stale/invalid shares compared to the other bigger pools. It just needs some more hashing-power

[cyberchriss]

I totally agree - works very stable with only few stale/invalid shares.
Raising hashing speed would be nice - feel free to join some workers that we find your first block soon.
Very nice frontend and stats.

[luffy]

nice and simple  
low fee is very interesting. are you also keep the blocks'  fees?
i am expecting a pool (with a low fee) that will share the whole block (plus fees i mean)

moreover i don't think that workers' password is useful at all.
any anti-dDos measures?

also don't forget to add email confirmation in order to confirm a Bitcoin Address changing

push

[luffy]

first block has been found.
but balance is still zero! 

[redhatzero]

I'm trying to find the reason for that,

root@Debian-60-squeeze-64-minimal ~/.bitcoin # bitcoind getaccountaddress ""
14PpHrA6rnJgvo4jRgV8AuDHvidVcFYXYZ

root@Debian-60-squeeze-64-minimal ~/.bitcoin # bitcoind listtransactions

Pushpool thought that it was a valid block... but it doesn't show up anywhere

also see http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=8707.msg231687#msg231687

Little update:

The Block showed up a couple of hours later, everyone should have gotten his share (Because of the hickup with that block, it was a 0% Fee Round..)

So: GZ TO OUR FIRST BLOCK

[luffy]

yes it worked perfectly!

[redhatzero]

After the Hardware Problems we had, we're up&running again

[Chefnet]

and it works very well thx

[Chefnet]

come on guys we need you!

[redhatzero]

yay we found our 2nd Block =)

[Chefnet]

we have 3 blocks and over 22 GH/s

[dem0noid]

Please, switch off the "timeago" script – not all is on your timezone.

[Chefnet]

we are going on find blocks a little bit faster than other small ones :-)

[redhatzero]

A little update:
We found 10 blocks in the meantime
Last weekend i've moved to a bigger server, and we're running now with ~60GHash.
Also Kiv was so nice to include us in the GUIMiner


dem0noid: i'll release an update so that timeago is only enabled if you have selected german in a couple of minutes
