[1200 TH] EMC: 0 Fee DGM. Anonymous PPS. US & EU servers. No Registration!

It looks like we're still working on valid blocks, but 0 share blocks keep coming...

[DobZombie]

Yeah, I tried cashing out and nothing has come through.  I'm happy to return the BTC once this has been sorted out.

I'm thinking I might have change pools until something gets fixed

[beekeeper]

And it was such a nice day, by mid day there was already 150% more blocks solved than the previous day..
I switched one 3GHs worker from emc to deepbit and but emc it still reports it working with shares count growing..

Why would you use a pool that charges 10%???

For GUI..

[wogaut]

my worker shows 0 MH/s on the pool, but on my end it looks like it's working.

[cyberlync]

likewise, I think it's cosmetic only.

Again? Is the speed thing being screwed around with again or something, because I'm mining PPS and seeing nothing counting on the my account page.
Cashing out shows just the displayed amount, so nothing has been counting for in background.

Edit: And just noticed that the amount I had cashed out wasn't sent out, bloody great.

Just like at a bank, it is criminal to take and not return if it was an accounting error.  But, I still hit cash out for safe keeping 

It never came and I feel much better about myself!

Well guys... this is the first major bug in EMC's history.  It took over a year, but indeed there was a bug that has completely drained the hot wallet...

I believe I have located the bug and eliminated it... but for the past ~7 hours the pool has been incrementing wallet balances on the same blocks over and over, so people had huge balances and some people have withdrawn the funds.

If any one who has received erroneous funds would be so kind as to return it, I would appreciate it.  It all comes out of my pocket and I run this pool at break even on the best of days, and if I'm out over 1000 BTC, it's a bit of a problem. 

If you received erroneous fund and are kind enough to return them, I would appreciate it.  You can send them to this BTC address:  1hK7oeDzHTYwSG2BXhfzaucJXenHfTTkL

I am currently working on fixing the resulting fall out, but I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on.

[beekeeper]

As I told you in PM, I got 97.7 and some penny on mtgox.
I will send them to 1hK7oeDzHTYwSG2BXhfzaucJXenHfTTkL

UPDATE:
Funds are on their way (bitcoin transaction: 1571a2309e5701f308f30e19cdbd7b6a1f44a6f2491dcca9ecd6998362ee435e)

I can not enter my account, it says: The requested URL /my_account.php was not found on this server.

Same here, 404 error. The homepage displays just fine though.

[SysRun]

nevermind... I see the problem. most likely moved to prevent more of a run than has already occurred?

This is a pain in the ABTCBTC to point away from EMC. If I'm mining into oblivion, switch the damn thing off so it saves all of us from losing more time than we already have.

Has anyone seen an equivalent dip in the overall hash rate?

[stiftmaster]

Only Instant-Payout-User are "cheater", right?

[n4l3hp]

I can't believe the guys who cashed out knowing the site is showing erroneous stats.

@Inaba
You should make a list of the accounts who cashed out showing especially those who didn't return the funds. Most people use the user names that they use in this forum. We can at least know which of them are trustworthy people.

I quite agree, I disabled the auto payaut option, till everything is ok

[mufa23]

Website has 404'd, so I can't check my balance on my EMC account. Although I have told it too auto withdraw when my balance gets to be more then a Bitcoin. My bitcoin wallet hasn't been getting any large withdraws from EMC. So unless my account currently has a crap ton of coins (which I can't check), I don't think I have been affected by this bug.

EDIT: Website is back online. Do not have extra BTC.

[BR0KK]

everything OK here exempt the hash rate is damn low ?

and i got paid normal over the last two weeks

[Inaba]

I just finished correcting the bug -  I definitely was able to identify it and it was located in some code that dealt with really really short blocks, so it didn't get tested much.  The test suite I had run on it did not include a very specific set of variables that would trigger the bug.  Ugh...

I am very sorry guys.  Payouts should not be affected at all, and block processing should return to normal now.  There is about 4 million shares backed up in the database, so it's going to take several hours at least to work through them and get them credited properly.  No shares are lost since the bug started, but the stats won't show up in your account for several hours.  The pool stats are probably going to go wonky now that processing has started again as well.

I had to roll back the user accounts about 8 hours give or take a couple hours... so any payouts you did during that time are gone.  Really, this only means you either received funds that are not accounted for, or any payouts you initiated that did not complete are also gone.  So basically, some people ended up with a lot more BTC than they should have.

I would like to thank beekeeper for returning 97.7 BTC so far.  That helps!  I am kind of sick at losing over 1000 BTC to a bug like this, I thought I had the code tested properly, but apparently I missed that one spot.  It was some newer code that I had put in a couple months ago, which is why it's only cropping up just now.  I normally keep the hot wallet a little lighter than 1000 BTC, but I had let it get a bit fatter than usual while I've been traveling... Well, it's thin now!  

So again, I would kindly request that anyone who has received extra funds erroneously return them to: 1hK7oeDzHTYwSG2BXhfzaucJXenHfTTkL

Obviously, I can't force anyone to do that.  I will be looking through the accounts and seeing who got paid what that they shouldn't have and see if there's anything to be done about it... but I suspect a lot of the people who got illicit funds were on auto-pay, so when their balance suddenly went way positive, it just initiated auto-payouts and they didn't do anything explicitly on purpose.  I know some people have, though... I see a lot of manual payouts happening in the timeframe that the bug was happening.  So we'll see how many honest folks we have here!

Thanks for the understanding guys and I apologize again.  Share processing is working and will be catching up as fast as it can.
