It is very stupid to switch 400khs mining power to any coin if there is a profit goal. There will be much more coins mined if he will just put a stable long running 10khs there. But he is free to do what he wants.

Hi,

We see this also sometimes on our CryptoNote coin, BipCoin....We see people spending more money on rented hashing than they can make selling the coin, and way more than they need to mine the same amount. At first I thought "Well, they're doing it to mine the coin and hold on to it for if the price going up." But no, they could buy it cheaper and just hold it if that was their goal. Then I thought "Well, maybe they don't know how much hash power to rent" But then I realized that anyone spending lots of money on mining can probably do the 8th grade math to figure out the max they'll need. Do that plus 5%. Not that plus 300%. lol.

I think these huge hash powers, like 4x as much as they need, is an attempt at an attack to make it hard for other miners and hope it will drive people away from the coin. Either by people holding large amounts of other CryptoNote coins....Or by people holding a lot of Bitcoin who don't want truly anonymous coins catching on in a big way....or maybe some state actor who doesn't want truly anonymous coins catching on in a big way.

By the way, a friend of mine who runs a CryptoNote pool (that included a Xcicoin pool, a BipCoin pool and a Karbowanec pool) was hacked last weekend. He's fixed it and has posted that he got hacked, so people know.
Info is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1662140.msg17206508#msg17206508

Anyway, I figured it's about time to come talk to y'all. Always happy with CryptoNotes catching on.  

Take care and I wish your coin well success.

My pool:
http://cryptonotepool.com/#pools was hacked on Saturday 10 December 2016. The crackers changed the payout addresses for Xcicoin and Karbowanec to steal the coin to someone else.
The pool fee (then paying to the hackers) was also made larger.

The fee was made larger on the BipCoin pool, but the address was not changed.

I  believe this was a successful attempt to steal coin, and then try to make this pool look dishonest, by not changing one of the payout addresses.
On 15 December 2016 I've fixed it, hardened against future attempts, and added alerting systems for future problems. All pools should have all this, and not many do.

The amount of all three coins not paid out to miners combined wasn't much. It totaled about the price of two people eating dinner in a cheap restaurant.

I apologize.

To try to win back the public's trust, I am admitting the error, and making the pool fee for all 3 coins ZERO for one month. After that time it will go back to 1.5%.

I run this pool mainly to support CryptoNote and usually only make about enough money to cover the servers. I do hope I can win back your trust.

Thank you.

This looks very suspicious...
We need an investigation and some proof of hack ...
Why should miners believe you? What was the way of hacking? How did you noticed that and when?  What is your pool mining address? (this will not tell us something, but as far as you were hacked we should know all the info). What pools were hacked - Bip? KRB? XCI?

Before any hack proof and investigation I suggest to stop mining on cryptonotepool.com.

That is why solo mining is a perfect for both network and miner. We will update the XCI guides with solo mining guide very soon.

MainCoins is a newbie user no one knows who is trying to trick people to falsely discredit CryptoNote pools run by established users because MainCoins operates a series of failed CryptoNote pools (and one failed CryptoNote coin, Neptunium).

And remember *I* alerted you to the hack. You wouldn't have heard about it otherwise. There's nothing suspicious. There was a hack for a few days, it was fixed, MainCoins is claiming it was hacked a month ago he told no one, and is trying to be the good guy? Jesus.

And as for your demands that I produce evidence that the hack was an attack, It's not my pool. I just knew about it, it is my friend's pool, and I thought I'd aleart yo8u guys since he had gone to bed after dealing with all of it. He was going to let you know in the morning, but I figured I let you know 8 hours earlier.

Full story here of why MainCoins is not a good guy is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1662140.msg17216500#msg17216500

As for me telling you that the big hash powers are an attack, you did not know this? Karbo knows this and is doing a hardfork soon to deal with it.

Don't "shoot the messenger who brings bad news." Unless the messenger is MainCoins because then he likely caused the thing the bad news is about.

Ok, I see, let me inhale and think about that  And take it easy, bro, I see your point and you are probably right.

[XCICOIN]

Have you ever mined your coin? Hashrate is around 90 kH/s. Solo mining would produce NOTHING.

Sure. And I am doing solo on anything below 100khs. You are not right about 90kh and solo mining. Lets say an average Joe has 100hs. 90000hs/100hs= 900. 2min*900/60min = 30hours.

About 9.5 XCI in 30h is NOT NOTHING, it is actually the same 7.6 xci as Joe will have from pool. Everything depends on luck.

P.S. I know guys who are solo mining Monero with 400hs, yes, this is insane.

OK, well, the "nothing" was an exaggeration to make a point.

But people will get far more mining on a pool, and I"d recommend democats.org since he invented the pool software. No one is currently mining XCI on there because he spends more time improving the pool software everyone uses than promoting his pools. But if even a few people started mining on there, they'd all do better than with solo mining.

If solo mining worked better than pool mining, no one would run or use pools. Most coins with a hash rate above like 10Kh/s are pool mined.

Everything depends on luck.

Solo mining is luck.
Pools rely on math, not luck.

On your announce thread, first page of this thread, you might want to edit your pool list. You recommend these pools. But one is gone and at least one you've said you don't trust. But no one is going to see the post where you said that. You should edit it on the announce page if you want people to not use the one(s) you think are compromised.

I have been mining on Gorillapool for days, because I thought a big pool brings more profit. Since about 5 hours I am testing a smaller pool. We only get approx. every 10th block, but since I have about 2/3 of the hashrate there, my block rewards are much higher than on a bigger pool. The profit is more than double of that as 10 hours on Gorillapool.

I am waiting for the instructions on solo-mining.

what? that make no cense what you telling

you cannot have more or less profit if you go to big or small pool, it s just the same (except if pool is to small, you get more or less luck)
and as you said you get bigger or smaller amount per block but end of the days it s mostly the same

you got more because diff was going down

Hello, looks like (just my guess) you are using an unsupported rpc call to check the wallet. Recheck you config.json. Py attention to "monitoring -> daemon -> rpcMethod, and monitoring -> wallet -> rpcMethod. Is RPC method you are using supported by simplewallet implementation you use?

[dadenyus]

/* Monitoring RPC services. Statistics will be displayed in Admin panel */
"monitoring": {
    "daemon": {
        "checkInterval": 60, //interval of sending rpcMethod request
        "rpcMethod": "getblockcount" //RPC method name
    },
    "wallet": {
        "checkInterval": 60,
        "rpcMethod": "get_address_count"
    }

    "wallet": {

get_address_count is not what you want. Try something supported by your wallet implementation. Try: getbalance
