[ANN][The Original Multipool - Scrypt/SHA256/Scrypt-N/X11] multipool.us

[IronEagle]

You are doing a very good job. Nice big pool, nice technique, cryptsy connection. Top!!!

BUT: You have little less altcoins for SHA256 mining. Could you please add all other SHA256 coins from coinwarz.com?

Sometimes it is much better if someone can mine more altcoin (like Mazacoin, TAKCoin etc.).

If I do every coin and pool change personally I will get 0.3 BTC per day with my 1.6 TH Cointerra. Nearly twice the profit than BTC direct. But I have to do this very quickly and I have sit the whole day in front of my computer.

So please add all other SHA256 coins from coinwarz.com.

I believe you can get this to do that for you... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159267.0

I know CGWatcher and I´m using this for scrypt mining. But I got an ASIC for SHA256 mining. This won´t work..

[Flashman]

Depends on your ASIC I guess, embedded controller and custom miner, then yah, not gonna work, but ones that are hosted on a PC via USB, should work for those.

I know, at least at one time, multipool used a copy of stratum mining as created by Marek Palatinus. Also, your stratum server for freicoin was, at least at one time, run on a version of stratum mining for freicoin that used an AGPL (v3) license. (Here's where we briefly discussed setting up a stratum server for freicoin. http://freicoin.freeforums.org/stratum-mining-frc-fork-t346-20.html#p5762).e

Seeing as the AGPLv3 license requires you to give the public a copy of your code, I am hereby requesting a copy of any code (and changes) to be publicly released and (if you do not mind) linked on your page. I have not been able to find the links on your page and, in the past, you have not given me a copy of the source as requested. I understand your hesitance in publicising the code. However, I think it would be beneficial to all if you are able to give out a copy. This would allow newer users to understand the inner-workings of some of the alt-coins you support.

If this copy of your pool code is no longer used, I am still requesting a copy as I was unable to find (even in archived copies of your page) a link to the code as required by AGPLv3.

Thank you.

I've emailed him a few times and discussed it with him via IRC. This is more so others are aware of the current status.
Anyway, Thanks for the pointer I will give him a shout

*UPDATE*
I was able to get a copy of the code. Thank you flounder for humouring me and releasing the code. It is appreciated.

In a nutshell:  Mine PPC quick 

It's been 12 days since BTC difficulty increased. I believe it's increased on average every 12.5 days. BTC difficulty will increase by 12 to 20% any minute now.

MultiPool has not found a PPC block since January and has stopped displaying estimates, but, continues to record round shares in the database.

I'm mining PPC now because I believe it will become the most profitable SHA coin for a spell just after BTC difficulty increases. After MP switches to PPC we'll be able to find new blocks every few hours.

Lol!  No way I'm going to waste my Asic-cycles into this black hole.
Those round shares recorded now will be voided after another two weeks of "still-no-block-found".

Edit: But then again, yes, if more people can be motivated to waste their asics on PPC, then maybe diff for other coins would rise slightly slower... so, yes, good plea!

Four PPC blocks were discovered in a black hole yesterday. Stephen Hawking ponders the implications

It was my hypothesis (a couple of pages back on this thread, back when the hours-counter just reached two hundred) , that something was probably wrongly configured. Maybe that problem was at long last solved, and now the blocks flow again.

I'm not yet ready to believe in pure statistics for not finding a block for >2000 hours, and then 4 in a row.

Edit: as the PPC blocks didn't continue to flow, this kind of contradicts my hypothesis of "clog removed".  Probably I would need to study the PPC internals (like how pow and pos work together) a bit more to understand what's really going on, but I don't really find that worth my time...

[Aurum]

The reason we found 4 in a row was that for short time PPC was more profitable than BTC and MultiPort switched over 100 THps to PPC. All my round shares that have been accumulating since January got paid on the first block. I don't believe MP has switched to PPC since January and so we've never had enough hashing power to find a block until now. I think that's all there is to it.

[wdl1908]

Can anyone access https://www.multipool.us/ I get a blank page.

Edit: never mind it came back just now.

[STT]

round shares that have been accumulating since January

surely they must go stale over such a long time.   not PPC but I was in a pool with a block that rose to 3000%  
admin was awol and when they did something suddenly it revealed we had mined 30 blocks and it had just had never registered as found

[georgem]

multipool is down.

What's happening?

[georgem]

pool up again after maybe 1.5 hours.

Shares where accepted in the meantime.

So everything is fine!

Good job, admin!

Just a quick update on the DDOS attacks and mitigation I've been doing over the past few days.

I'd first like to thank whatever script kiddie who's perpetrating these for the time I've had to spend away from my family over the past few days.

The last status update I posted about the DDOS attacks being over was inaccurate.  The standard DDOS attacks against the non-protected pools had ceased (but were started again shortly after that status update).  I've moved all of the front end proxies away from Digital Ocean, who are content to null route us at the drop of a hat.  It's understandable, since the attacks have the potential to affect many droplets if they're not blocked.  The front end proxies are all now hosted on dedicated servers as well.

During and after the standard DDOS attacks, we also sustained layer 7 ddos attacks on the DDOS-protected pools that I was forced to code around.  The pool code now bans by IP as well as workername after a few failed authorizations.

In addition to these attacks on the pools themselves, the DOGE, MOON and TIPS network seem also to be under some kind of attack at random times, I don't think these attacks are directed specifically at us but at the networks as a whole.  The attacks are also at layer 7 and seem to be spamming many tx requests and block inventory requests through the coin networks, causing high cpu, bandwidth and disk writes on the pool servers.  This has the effect of lagging the coin daemons to the point where they're not responsive to requests from stratum and stale blocks shoot up quite a bit.

I've been talking to the doge devs about a potential fix for these attacks (https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/issues/476) and they suggested updating to 1.7 Beta which appears to be based on the Bitcoin 0.9 code.  This is now up and running on our East servers and assuming there are no major issues I will roll it all to the other servers in a few days.

I've been trying to run stray bits and pieces of hash on multipool and I'm having a huge problem with the pool difficulty climbing to something insane, like 1024 for a few GH and 512 for a few kilohash. I set the min diff as low as it can go, on the worker details. When I connect for the first time, I get a few hours of hashing on scrypt, but then it pumps the diff so high that I don't get a submit between blocks. I'm getting no shares (and showing no hash on the pool)

On the SHA the diff is 1024 for 18 GH, but I think I'm getting cheated a bit on that, because although with longer block times typically, I can manage to get some shares submitted, I think I'm not registering as much hash because of it, getting my shares orphaned.

[Flashman]

Well, had to pull the SHA ASICs, 2048 diff, really??? not running a rack full of cointerras here.... got so it was leaving gaps of half an hour without registering shares, high spikes when it DID submit but it wasn't averaging out.

Still fighting with the scrypt, trying to mine doge direct. STILL trying to drop it off 512, this is with a few tens of kh... too much trouble but the machine is "always on"..
