PPC miners, let's try to diversify our mining pools, as bitparking has way too much weight right now within our network. I am going to switch to vpool, please join me  


WARNING: THIS POOL MAY BE A SCAM, READ PAGE 3 OF THIS THREAD

I was mining more than 60 hours no luck. my speed 1500. weird pool but honest.
Now i'm trc miner on vpool, who want help me?

I think we just need more people to join up and finish the round. Stick with us PPC miners! You found the latest block anyway, might as well finish it up =P

15-20 of us to start would be great for this pool, we could do a lot and help balance out the network.

[stiff]

Sure. I did not have the patience. After 100TRC will be back. 

[stiff]

Wow! I love TRC, three block in a row! 

[Vuxil]

Pool has grown slightly since last night, can we get some new PPC miners to join us today please

[Gontxi]

Hi mate... Can you open 80 port to ppc mining? I have about 100 machines ready to mining but behind firewalls

[Vuxil]

Hi mate... Can you open 80 port to ppc mining? I have about 100 machines ready to mining but behind firewalls

Seconded, would love to see port 80 unblocked, I could get some additional machines up for PPC mining

Hi guys!

ppc80.vpool.us

[Rawted]

i'm throwing a little love to the pool.

[Gontxi]

Tks... I'm trying to scrypt with 20 machines today and i think it dont work

My command is

minerd --threads 40 --url http://ppc80.vpool.us --userpass USER.2:PASSWORD

It seems is working but don send any info to the server... Strange.

[stiff]

I think should be:

minerd -a sha256d --threads 40 --url http://ppc80.vpool.us --userpass USER.2:PASSWORD

[Gontxi]

It start working to but time from time gives me this msg:

HTTP request failed: The requested URL returned error: 504

[matauc12]

Just pointed a couple FPGAs your way

[Ilocans]

This pool does not work for me neither for trc nor for ppc mining

[Vuxil]

This pool does not work for me neither for trc nor for ppc mining

Can you give us any specific errors you get?

We actually have a decent group on right now, more miners feel free to join us, we're doing 30 gh/s right now

[Vuxil]

When does the current PPC round end? It's been the same round for a few days now

[matauc12]

Yeah I am starting to wonder what the hell is up with those rounds.... That is very detrimental to me and if not fixed soon will have to switch to another pool.

Edit : problem has been going on way too long and is affecting me at over 200$ a day. Sorry, gone.

[stiff]

I am one of those who first  try this pool when my power is not allowed to be solo mining. last time I worked more than 60 hours after block 39,597 and left without waiting. Now pool paid reward for block 40,096 and I got the coins. I think everything is taken into account. On buttom statistics page  seen

 and the website does not update my info. Feeling, It is mining for nothing.

[stiff]

i find block 

[Vuxil]

Something is fishy - 5 days no payout, blocks are only being found by Stiff and people not listed as actively mining. If anyone else gets paid out please post here and let us know

My amount of shares has also been stuck at "Updating" for a couple of days now. I'm switching pools until someone can verify this pool is legit. I have 2,594 unpaid shares across multiple blocks that have been confirmed, I have no reason to continue on this pool at the moment. Sorry guys

[12gaFacelift]

nothing to do there, mining = impossible

But I have been mining since blocks have been found\confirmed and I have gotten nothing. Do I have to find a block myself, or just anyone mining in the pool?

Pointed one of my miners to it (petervii id)

Will post when I get paid.

everyone knows that. Problem is.... There is no "unconfirmed reward" info or round delimitations on the frontend. I shouldn't have to guess and hope for 2 days. Until that is addressed, I'd rather pay 8% pps on coinotron.

Waiting rewards too...

[stiff]

http://ppc.vpool.us/about

PPLNS is not for pool hoppers. Share difficulty has been change and block rewards too, thus and so "Estimated Per Payout" is variable.

[Vuxil]

Please report what you get here, this pool is just sketchy so far

edit: I just got a payout and only 1/6th of my shares were counted as valid, after telling me earlier that all were valid...

My basic understanding is you mine until blocks are found, and then you get paid your shares for that block when it's confirmed. I made a lot less than if I just mined somewhere else though because it ended up counting the majority of my shares as invalid and didn't tell me until the end. Not sure what's up. I'm going to give it one-two more blocks before I move pools now. I'm thinking maybe one issue for me is latency, the server seems to be far away from where I'm at

[MooC Tals]

I'm gonna keep an eye on this.

[matauc12]

http://ppc.vpool.us/about

PPLNS is not for pool hoppers. Share difficulty has been change and block rewards too, thus and so "Estimated Per Payout" is variable.

The pool has been stuck in the same round forever and proportionally pays per share per block because the rounds aren't configured properly. I know how PPLNS works. This pool doesn't work how it should. Being PPLNS, theoretically, since my shares were half of total of the pool, I should of gotten 1/2 of the reward during the round (although I shouldn't exactly have had those shares because if a round cutoff was present it would have been different).

Either way.... I got a grand total of 160ppc for mining 12hours with hash rates that should give me 3000ppc per 24hours. I don't know where the other ppc went considering I had more shares than everyone else combined and and 3 blocks were found.

[ssateneth]

can you please offer PPS with a not-greedy fee?

[Vuxil]

If others can post their experiences that could be great. So far it feels like a scam or just poorly put together

I am also pretty sure stiff owns the pool or is affiliated with it somehow, so his opinion isn't relevant (his posting history is almost entirely about vpool)

[tosku]

I'm getting very high reject levels mining PPC on vPool, 5-10%. I don't get that with Coinotron, and didn't get it with bitparking either.

[ssateneth]

I go down to my basement tonight for some RAM upgrades, and its really cool (temperature). I know something is up. I log into my rigs, and they're at half the hashrate they're supposed to be for averages. I see I am getting constant pool disconnections. Sorry, this pool isn't for me. Admin, you gotta fix your shit. You probably cost me in the area of $150 because my miners were not 100% active all night. Also, I am not seeing any rewards for mining during this period. We found TWO blocks, but I am not seeing any indication what my reward is anywhere.

[cdog]

scam pool is scam BEWARE 

[Vuxil]

Well, OP is a Russian (just saying), claims vpool is being hosted on the Amazon cloud, and it's actually listed as hosted in Switzerland if you do a traceroute.

NEWS:

Terracoin daemon updated.

[OfekA]

I don't think it's a scam, though I did thought so at first.
2 days ago I started mining for 16 hours with ~330Mah/s and it shows I need to get paid for 2.1 PPC when confirmed, I immediatly switched to coinotron, but I just entered my profile and it shows that half of my shares are accounted for (some still waits confirmations) and my balance is 5.33790279 PPC..

So I don't know, maybe the estimated PPC is wayyy off, but it does eventually gives you the coins at the end?

I actually didn't send it to my wallet yet.. good point, I'll send it and report back.

Alright, so it took about 40minutes for me to get 5.332903 PPC to my wallet, I think it's fine?

Well that's what I said before, the round cutoff is non-existant and acts as 1 big round so its proportional pay per  share pool giving estimates of pplns. Its not working correctly, but should pay roughly the same.

But the pool operator prefers to not acknowledge the problem and call us, what, troublemakers or something? That's reason enough for me to not mine there even if its not a scam.

Its not our first day mining. If everyone says there is a problem and you say there is none, you should definitely reconsider.

Here is my experience with this "pool":
(After confirmation)

User id: petervii
Valid shares: 4086
Invalid shares: 40
Balance: 1.6964145 ppc

It works out to: 0.00041578787 per share

Or about 40 times less than cointron RBPPS rate.

The pool is misconfigured.

The only question is if it was misconfigured on purpose or an honest mistake.

Right now, it is ripping people off, big time.

for me, I was at 360ppc after my unpaid shares got all marked at paid, but today, I still get a little bit per blocks found, now up to 600. That's why I assume its gonna be roughly the same. Since its 1 huge round, I should get an ever decreasing pay per block. I guess my proportional analogy was inaccurate.

But You know, we are the problem, not the pool aparrently llol

Edit : also, the top 15 contributor gives a somewhat illusion of rounds because it shows unpaid shares, not shares of the round, which is also not how pplns works. And just because of the fucking mind oblitaring answer to issues by the pool admin :

Get the duck out of that pool it would take 100 days to get your full payment (if the admin is that shit at building a pool from a template!) Or never get full payment if this is a scam.

Now, you got my accusations for you. Giving no answer to fundamental problems and even dismissing them, get real.

[snarther]

same with me here i tested it mined for about  24h  @  1500m/h  ( due to pool to slow @ coinotron i have constant 2000m/h currently)


no payout yet even on the website the "my account" page says estimated payout   0, 65ppc

as you all say you habe difficulties with this pool i switch it off  and would recommend it for everyone else to do alike as the settings are updated or the scam is revealed 

for me it says
 Unpaid Shares
Your Valid: 17781 
Paid Shares
Your Valid: 0

 i dont mind if the payout takes a while but even the on-page account balance says 0

Mine PPC on coinotron in one window with high intensity. Then mine BTC in another windows with -d intensity. When coinotron goes down the BTC window will ramp up.

there is only coinotron currently (sad truth). Bitparking closed for the reason stated by the admin (I shouldn't have to answer that) and the reason cool is marked as scam and a topic was started is evident in the claims in this thread AND amplified by the pool admins answer.

Now, why do you wish to defend it so much?

well you saw my hash rate? I got 50% of what I should have. That's a 300$ loss. And the admin answer............

Coinotron doesn't want monopoly, they cannot sustain that much power and I am sure they would very much like another viable pool. This is not.

And advertisement? Where do they really do that more than someone else? And why advertisement is a bad thing? Consumers buy into advertisement, they speak with their wallet. It doesn't hurt anyone and many great, legitimate businesses survive with advertisement in 2013 (Google, car manufacturers, start ups, artists....

Give me a pool that is not stealing money from me by poor management or scam, I'll buy into it, until then, your reasons to defend are 100% dull.

Why is this thread still open?  Moderators are you watching this thread?

This pool stealing people's money!!!  The PPS equivalent "donation" is 60%  in this "scheme" so you are getting ~40% of what you should be getting on the other PPC pool (no names) that is including 12% PPS.

Why bother to mine? Just setup a pool like vpool and who needs ASICs....

Mods have a politic to not be judge jury executioner. They put a scam alert in title and in OP, that is fine with me. Anyone joining and disregarding those warnings have been warned and should be victims of their own negligence.

Lil pretty funny. Even funnier is he quoted your "opening a pool" thread.. As if that's what would legitimately make someone eligible... Some people just have the ability to dig a hole deeper when they can't get out.

[Vuxil]

Stiff -

Try looking at some of the config files for the pool. There are many instances were the payout is hardcoded to be relative to 50 bitcoins. Of course, we are actually mining ~680 PPC per block right now, so that might be why people are getting paid so little.

If you are using greedi's fork of mmcfe, that's what I will be using most likely

[stiff]

 I'm sorry but I do not understand the programming. I've make my rig by HOWTO.  I think that the error is due to the network. Look at my screenshots 4 posts up. The blocks are not confirmeded in order. I write in vpool support of the morning, they promised to ask the PPC developers. As soon as I saw the error, I sold all the coins on btc-e. I am satisfied!

We under attack from Belarus and Ukraine. Our trc80 & ppc80 servers are temporarily unavailable. We plan transfer them to a safe place today night.

[vpoolserver]

Vpoolserver, instead of shouting, please answer the questions quoted above.

We dont know  Dustcoin algorithm. In PPCOIN spec the block reward  is sqrt(sqrt(9999^4 / difficulty)).
Estimated Per Payout show current work block.

[vpoolserver]

We need help.

Our version linux x64
noadmin@vPool:/opt/daemons# ./ppcoind --help
PPCoin version v0.3.0ppc-beta

Our rescue stage:
backup wallet
ppcoind  -conf=/opt/daemons/ppcoin.conf  -datadir=/opt/daemons/ppcoin backupwallet /backup/tmp/ppc/wallet.dat

reload block chains in new location
ppcoind  -conf=/opt/daemons/ppcoin.conf  -datadir=/opt/daemons/ppcoin_nc

All bad immature blocks now confirmed.
at crontab pool_update.sh update own database

Question for all:
why ppcoind has no linear order confirm?

Official statement.
You are can to think our pools scam. We will not claim otherwise. And also discuss about other fake vpool. Pools will work all paid time. It is more than two months. We recognize that there is little time taking the test PPC pool before going into production. Minor bugs found in the code and corrected now. We do not know the main error. We hope to hear answer the developer or other competent persons. Why we have a nonlinear block confirmation.
Our plans. Information about estimated  payout, we plan to remove. This is misleading. Perhaps instead we make the page with pool's payout, if they wish our miners.
On the block will be automatically paid 41.851. Now all the issues of payment with your justification to submit by email. We will consider on an individual basis.

[Neverest]

I can confirm that I just received two small payments (both just under 1ppc) from Vpool.us, though the transaction history does not make much sense, both payments are mentioned there as well.

[spacegoat]

i'll give a terracoin for anyone who mines through the next two blocks of terracoin

[Bicknellski]

I am still getting a tiny tiny tiny trickle of my FRC that I mined for a few hours. How long will this take? Months?

I knew this stunk when I wasn't getting coin appropriately glad I switched out to Coinotron.

if through all those accusations you were aware of bugs and stayed silent, that's what confirmed those accusations. You could have avoided scammer status by talking.

Still a scam to me for that reason.

vpoolserver,

Just a few notes - I think most of your bugs are coming from mmcFE. Connecting to your servers with miners works, but it sucks for us in the USA because of latency and we lag out - that's not something  that can be helped though, and it appears you have ppcoind and pushpool set up correctly.

mmcFE took me a few days of playing around with to get it right and I am still not very happy with it. The biggest bug I dealt with (which you may want to check) is how you are computing difficulty. When you use the getdifficulty api with  ppcoind, it does not differentiate between stake block difficulty and proof of work difficulty. For example, difficulty can be 300,000 from proof of work, then drop down to 9,000 for a few consecutive pos blocks, then back up to 300,000 for another pow block. When you use getdifficulty API, you get an array instead of a double (like you would with other coins) - this array contains both the latest pow and pos values from what I remember. You have to explicitely call the 'proof-of-work' element from the getdifficulty array.

Anyway we will probably both run into future bugs because mmcFE was not built for ppcoin, and ppcoin has many different things than BTC. After working on this myself, I understand that your mining pool was probably misconfigured\had bugs rather than you were trying to explicitely scam people. Let me know if you want to work on ironing bugs out together, we have essentially the same code now. Also, I switched my domain from vPool.me to VuxilsPool.com, so we can avoid confusion on that part.

Best,
Vuxil

I've pretty much said from the start its probably bugs, but the way he disregarded and treated those claims, scam alert doesn't seem in appropriate to me.

[vpoolserver]

 Hi Vuxil. We correct work with array in all mmcfe code.
Used only proof of work difficulty. Was problem with linux perfomance when connect above 300 miners but quickly eliminated. We think problem  with ppcoind only. Now in work ppcoind without support ipv6. May be support this protocol to led malfunction.

i done this 2 times first automatic -8.13104219 TRC
and now manual where need pay 0.1 fee -3.0807805 TRC

So what is going on??? anyone working paid outs on this pool???
My user id is: 489

[paladin281978]

vpoolserver

No! The coin did not come!
I do not mine 3 days, but the account is replenished itself and sends the coin is not clear where.
But no coins!
you understand that?

whence these coins in my account, if the mine is off 3 days?
they are sent, but do not come to my address.

[riku2015]

i have same problem! i described here one page back from this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158267.msg1845816#msg1845816

[paladin281978]

vpoolserver
What do you say? the second person is talking about this problem

[riku2015]

i upload picture aswell, here is it!

[riku2015]

Here is another odd thing!

- Block chains(numbers) not match coinotron (from there i can withdraw TRC and its working)
- Those block #numbers not make any sense, when i click open, here few example links:

• http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/search?q=105667
  http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/search?q=105664
  http://cryptocoinexplorer.com:3750/search?q=105655

- Difficulty is not proper one, it was about 1-5k first but now 69? lol i wondered how i was able mine so fast... xDDDD
- blocks are not going on order means someone/or pool using that broken network?

Please take into this are you server configured to testnetwork??

If this is not resolved, i will confirm this pool scam/misconfigured aswell

[matauc12]

To all those reporting payment issues.

Don't act like you are surprised after disregarding scam alert warnings.

[e521]

are people still using this pool? can't you read previous posts?

[riku2015]

i read whole thread and i decided to try it. it seems there is alot issues and if we bring them on maybe he can fix it. he has tried to fix ? atelast answered for questions

but he should do a notice on frontpage: the pool is under repair and paid out not working, pool on beta stage(testing)
then maybe ppl not expect big things from this one

Notice the timestamps. He has COMPLETELY disregarded and basically answered "fuck off" to those reporting malfunction. And then after a while he says "yeah issues here an there"....

Anyways, I don't see why one would ignore those warnings when there are excellent alternatives.

Today, we zero out all the balances and shares in the SQL tables of our TRC pool! It was a difficult but correct decision. After starting ours pools we do not  luck. And it's not our errors. The problem with ppcoind exist:

I have joined pool.
Better not to be scam

[Milan77]

After few days and more than 5 payouts with no problem, I cannot consider this a scam.
Pool is OK and working, payouts are paid very fast and already exchanged on market.

I am satisfied for now!

Yes, retro.

But my PPC are stuck there.  What to do?

[DumaDoo]

Thank you for all the warnings.

I was very close to using the pool, but i was getting a tons of rejects.


I've also tried to mine p2pool but my mining status showed nothing but rejects!!! How can i solve this problem?
