[0Th]Ozcoin Pooled Mining |DGM 1%|Stratum+VarDiff port 80|NEW CN mining|

[psyberwolf]

im going to sound like a real noob but i cant get my old ozcoin account to work.

ive tried new workers/old workers/different addresses in the OP

do i have it correct 

cgminer -o  au.ozco.in:3333 -u username.workername -p workerpassword

not sure what im doing wrong, im getting auth failed.

using both my windows box and my Rpi,
tried both bfgminer and cgminer on my Rpi, its working on mmpool and BTC guild fine.

i think ive got something username related wrong.

i wanna start supporting Aus with some of my hashing power .

when you say "old" do you mean pre Jan 2012? or post? Can you sign in to https://ozcoin.net ?
we moved to a new site at end of Dec 2011 and we were not able to transfer accounts to new setup, we did a mass email at the time, If it is since them please PM me username and I will investigate
Cheers

[psyberwolf]

all sorted
if anyone has the same issue - i just created a new manual worker and its all fixed.

[Graet]

Migration is now complete with ozbot moved over and my email back (I might have missed some email in the changeover - please resend if I do not reply)
new DB/WWW server is performing well, mining nodes stable

If you havent tried Ozcoin before now would be a good time
#ozcoin on freenode or via webchat (onsite) if you need help setting up

website is off

[Wave]

Website is working fine for me.   

[Graet]

Cloudflare has been having issues for about as long as BTCGuild has been under ddos attack, affecting non-BTC sites as well as BTC sites that use cloudflare - this does not affect mining, share counting or payouts, just the website occasionally
sorry for the inconvenience

[Graet]

when the luck is back 

Any moment now - I hope 
It is getting a bit depressing :/

Thanks man

I know this idea has lots of holes in it but,
(there is always a 'but')

Could a DEFENSIVE only Low Orbit Satoshi Cannon be developed to fight back against ddos on pools?

Miners have a lot of combined power, I'd guess more than the ddos bots.

Even if it only served to help locate the bot minions I hate to just stand by and watch.

If it could even JUST eliminate or confirm the suspicions that some unscrupulous pool could/maybe/possibly/if the stars aligned perfectly be involved.
(these speculations/suspicions are extremely rare I know, but still...)

I also would like to know if there is a central location for miners to find semi-current information regarding the whole network. A statement on some read only venue where trusted pool operators can inform on JUST the network status might be helpful. (yes there are downsides too)
Each pools IRC channels work but it is like playing 'telephone' sometimes.


Rhetorical questions;
Do pool operators have a venue for rapid communication among themselves?
An invite only, for pool operators only, uber moderated IRC channel or somesuch?
(I don't really want/expect the last 2 questions answered in the hopes this exists already)

No. The first D is distributed. DDoS is from thousands of bot computers, typically grandma's Windows XP that is infected and under the control of the hacker. You need to discover the bot commander and destroy them.

I opened a poolops irc chanel in 2011 but don't join much any more, I cant handle Luke-jr and his crap very well these days, it isn't used much.
most of the ops of bigger public pools get on well and talk on irc in PM as needed, we also established a poolops mailing list after a calamity earlier this year. #bitcoin-dev can get used if its a network issue (like the inadvertent fork earlier in the year)

deepceleron answered the ddos part of the question well - thanks

A statement on some read only venue where trusted pool operators can inform on JUST the network status might be helpful.

true, but then someone has to keep on top of what is happening and verify: BTCGuild has had a ddos, some other pools got a taste  then another of the large pools had network issues at a host yesterday, cried "DDOS" only to retract that 1/2 hour later to announce the network issue.

Am I seeing this right? 26 hours on the current block?

Low Variance eh? (i kid, I kid)

Wayno is our lead coder and can be most helpful diagnosing issues
we are looking into it, sorry for slow response
Graet

And still waiting for any kind of response.  Sent detailed info to Wayno in PM.  Anything...?  A cursory log review? check a few datestamps?  10 minutes on your side to tell me it's my own fault... Some sort of helpful response would be greatly appreciated.

Wayno has been unwell, I spoke to him this evening, he will be in touch soon

10 more days gone by.  Still crickets.  I have to start thinking maybe Ozcoin team is complicit? 

It's been almost a month since I first reported this issue, and so far I've got one sarcastic response, and a couple delaying responses/tactics.  I've provided detailed information you can use to trace this issue. The longer it goes unattended, the greater the chance server logs are rotated, evidence disappears, etc.  I realize I'm not the largest miner in the pool, but I think it's reasonable to expect a higher level of customer service.

We have not had any new information to pass on about your issue.  Just because we haven't replied on a daily basis about your issue, does not mean that we are not looking into it. 

After the breach here on bitcointalk was discovered, there were a few others that had a similar issue.  Since then, we have locked down all send addresses.  We are not stopping the investigation at this point, but it is looking more like your account was compromised. 

If you need your send address unlocked, please join us in the #ozcoin channel on the freenode IRC network, and we will get that sorted out for you.  You will most likely get faster help if you do join the IRC chat.

Enjoy your annual leave Graet.

Same issue here, should I shut my miners down for the duration of this? Just got out of hospital today after three days so not sure what the go is

We had a database crash, and we are in the process of recovering what we can.  All mining nodes are online and caching shares.  Once we have this issue resolved, the shares will start to flow again.

We have also set the main site into maintenance mode while we recover this.

ozco.in spam me with miner off mails since weeks, but miners are always on
