PPC did something weird! I still have well over a million shares on this epic 600 hour no blocks found marathon but the estimation shows 0... Why would it do this to me?

That's a good thing. Our shares will sit there until a block is found. The estimates probably got zeroed during the database rebuild and may not reappear until a block is found. Is this an estimate for PPC:

107 coin reward x 1,000,000 your shares/352,952,962 round shares = 0.30 PPC

Actually, the problem was that the ppcoind that the estimates job uses had crashed..  Estimates should be correct for PPC again soon.

I have been a security analyst for the past decade and crypto mining botnets are really all over the place these days, I find it highly likely with speeds like that with that much fluctuation this is very likely a botnet. Many CryptoCoin Mining malware and botnets have moved away from BTC and towards scrypt mining alt coins and more recently cpu PoW generated coins like XPM, ProtoShares and basically anything with a high value in BTC. Its a lot less noticeable to have 10 thousand or more machines using their CPU's for scrypt mining coins like DOGE or CPU mining other non scrypt coins compared to the GPU based BTC miners found in some of the older bots.(not to mention when spreading GPU mining botnets the infection campaigns need to target a specific user base, typically gamers with top of the line GFX cards). I really wish their was an easy way to fight these botnets but alas not many pool operators seem to care and those whom I have worked with to block the botnets usually felt the repercussions afterwards with DDoS attempts.

If anyone out there in the security field has any ideas or is working on any projects for detecting botnets compared to miners who are actually utilizing equipment they own I would love to hear about it.

Did anyone notice the top miner in Doge stats of multipool.us?
The user  name shows up as rwisozk.

Yesterday he was mining at 825,000 KH/s and today jumped to 1,250,000 KH/s (now it dropped to 979,901 KH/s)
That's crazy, he needs to invest about $1,000,000 in equipment to mine at those rates or it is a botnet or something.

his hash rates are equal to next top 10 users combined. I think it is just increasing the difficulty for all the rest of the miners.

At very least it should be investigated and made sure it's a legit operation.

much love

p.s Also much love to multipool <3 , Let me know if you are interested in detecting botnets hitting your pool as I recently found the URL for your pool posted in a thread on a Russian Botnet Forum as a "safe places to mine".

I can assume you've seen both https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=377970.0 and http://www.alienvault.com/open-threat-exchange/blog/how-cybercriminals-are-exploiting-bitcoin-and-other-virtual-currencies (and a ton more by googling "ltc botnet 2014")

Effective immediately, this thread is no longer considered an official support area for Multipool.  I will check it as time allows, but it's looking like Bitcointalk is going to be eliminating Alt Crypto forums soon enough.

I suggest everyone register on Cryptocointalk.com and use the new Multipool forum for support issues:

Is there any option or is there any way to change my email I registered with on multipool.us?

Hi, flound i cash out my moon coin it's finished. But my moon wallet not show anything.
It lost right? How should i do?

I would reply in the cryptocoin talk thread, but that forum won't let me post.  Registered, logged in (I can see my name at the top of the screen), but can't post, can't reply, can't start a new thread.  Sigh.

Anyways, just wondering if something is up with DOGE? No deposits going through to Cryptsy and no change in my pool balance even though I'm hashing at 2Mhash/s.

I am hashing at 2M/s on Doge too and not having any issues.  Been getting coins all day.  I have my auto withdraws going to my Doge wallet though.  Just had one go through to my wallet an hour ago.  If you are not getting credit to your pool balance, then it is something specific to you it seems.

Cryptsy has a lot of reports about taking a very long time to register deposits (sometimes days).  Odds are it is on their end.

Hi Multipool.us admins,

I have a strange problem.
First of all, I'm mining on Dogecoins.
So I use the following URL: stratum+tcp://eu2.multipool.us:3352 .
But almost every minute I get a line in my cgminer with this text:

Stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted

Do I need to worry about this line everytime, or can I ignore it?
Hope to hear something soon.

Greetings, Rik

Latest payment from Multipool is not showing up in my qt wallet.  Multipool shows it was paid out 2hrs ago but the TXID does not show to be in a block.  I am not sure what would cause that.

Edit - Never mind it just went through.

[jogin3]

I have a problem with payment. I have the last payment in wallet. But more than an hour has no confirmation.

As you can see in my post just above, that happened to me earlier to day.  Took about 2hrs before it went through with the first confirmation.  I did get it though.

Could you set back DOGE auto payout threshold to 1000?
Thanks

I believe this happens every time that multiport switches coin, so it's pretty much harmless.
