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

[NetworkerZ]

I'm bumping again.

PLEASE PUT YOUR DONATION AT 3% FOR ONE FREAKING WEEK!

C'mon guys it would be a nice thank you to Inaba for maintaining a pretty sweet pool and help keep him motivated when things are a pain in the azz.

Not that he's not doing a great job already, but let's do this!

Again, I don't know Inaba at all and have no relationship with the guy outside of these boards and mining his pool the past month or so.

I just believe there are too many "takers" sometimes in bitcoin and we should support those that contribute positively.

Changed it from 1% to 5% for the next days. Hope it helps, even if I just have ~1.5 Ghash

Greetz and THX!

I just switched to 3%... Thanks Inaba! I hope you are making enough to keep this going...

Same here.
BTW, just a slight formatting issue on the homepage, as follows:



Username is up one line, instead of being in line with the associated entry box. Firefox.

Seems to be related to CSS and how your browser parses it. 

I plan on switching everything to tables, as god intended, as soon as I find the time.   Long live tables!

Seriously guys, everyone should consider donating to EMC if you're happy mining here. ABCPool peaked at 0.7% donations a while ago, you can beat that! We offer PPS though, not DGM.

And to think that ABCPool didn't even have port 80 mining until today!

LOL, so how did you get on MintCondition's forum account, Inaba? <j/k>

[freshzive]

Switched to 3%. Not a lot of power here, but I'd like to see EMC stay up and running

[Inaba]

Subliminal messages.  I see my plan has worked!

3% donation for one week, Done.

Cheers!

Who are "da botmastaz"?

[NetworkerZ]

Perhaps the "admins" of an illegal mining botnet?!?

Round Duration 15367d 16:21:02


Ouch!

[NetworkerZ]

This is only shown, when you refresh in that moment a block is solved and a new one starts. Must be a "maximum" number belonging to a lib or something. If you add a new worker, and don't use it, the maximum number at "Last Activity" is 15367 too ;-)

Idea:

How about charge 5% auto to anyone who uses , um lets see 100-1000000+ Ip's

I think this would be a good offset to da botmastaz, they prolly don't care much and with all the extra traffic and load I think they should prolly pay a fee.. and I don't think they would mind too much


can split fee 2.5% to urself and 2.5% to miners who use less than 100 IPs


everyone is happy!

rejoice! huzzah!

Good Idea,
but if each bot-member has his own ip, the criterion should be the the number of workers per user

longest block we had in a while, lets get it found and move on

I've been thinking about something for some time, and perhaps I should ask others that know better than me.

If the pool set up a VPN for dedicated miners (perhaps filter it somehow so it's not used to stream hulu or whatever), could that improve the stale share count etc? Is it viable in any way with existing hardware or would the increased cpu/memory/bandwidth load require a separate server (and with that, rising running costs etc)?

[Inaba]

I actually had a white list IP thing in place back when the pool first started, meant to somewhat mitigate DDoS attacks, but it didn't really work out for some reason.  I think instead of charging by the IP, maybe increasing by lack of efficiency would be a better solution.  If someone is requesting 10 getworks and only returning 2 of them, that's kind of a problem... whereas if you have 100 miners and request 200 getworks and return 180 of them, that's much more acceptable.

I'm still evaluating different options - I may try Eloipool, since it would be the easiest to work with with regards to DGM as implemented on EMC.  

And for those of you following the BIP16/17 debate, against my better judgement I upgraded the bitcoind's to the latest mainline git, and for the past several days, it's been basically destroying all the transaction fees, so they went poof.  This is why I was and still am totally NOT in support of BIP 16 because of the timeline involved.  It's a perfect example of why a less than 4 week timeline for a change of this magnitude is not viable.  Fortunately, Luke alerted me to the problem today and I reverted to an earlier rev.

Gavin has pledged to personally reimburse all lost transaction fees and quickly fix the problem (he may or may not have done this already).

[Inaba]

Unfortunately I don't think that's going to apply to EMC, since I had disabled the P2SH announce on block creation due to the fact that there was no guarantee of support at any given time from blocks created on EMC.  I don't think there's any way for Gavin to deduce which blocks were affected from EMC... but I could be wrong about that.  The whole situation gives me a headache.

Why validity of more recent block are higher then late blocks?
Block 164217 (441) has validity 100/120
and
Block 164243 (443) has 112/120

BTW for block 164217 there are a chain up to 164354 (more then 120 blocks)
