New PPCoin Pool (PPLNS-based, North America-hosted) @ www.VuxilsPool.com

Not sure what's up, PPCoind stays healthy all day and then manages to crash 15 minutes after I go to bed and fails to restart. Sorry guys, I'm working everything out

[Sunny King]

Those crashes might be useful to find out what the problem was, I was never able to reproduce the memory leak or crashes experienced by pool operators. Let's see if we can take the opportunity to find out what it was all about.

We've had a few seldom crashes overnight, and I apologize for that. Reading through the main PPCoin thread, it seems that ppcoind has a memory leak that causes it to crash. This is in conjunction  with what I found - pushpool and mmcFE are always still running whenever a crash happens, but ppcoind is mysteriously killed. I am setting up a cron job to automatically restart ppcoind every few hours. Thanks everyone for your patience

This is what monit is for

For now, I will leave my ssh window open - if you suddenly disconnect it means my SSH session timed out. This will be fixed permanently tonight

You might want to check out the program 'screen'.

I was doing this for a while but just have cronjobs to boot the services at start. I know have a cronjob restarting ppcoind every 2 hours =\

Every crash, pushpool is running but ppcoind isn't, so I'm not sure what's up

Do you get core dump on this? Maybe try enable core dump using ulimit or something

Monit will check the service as quick as you want it and restart it right away - may be a better option.

The pool seems to be working (I am mining there again now), but the payment system seems broken, as nothing gets paid/credited.
See http://give-me-ltc.com/accountdetails for how it should work (it updates almost real time and credits the balance regularly).

When are you going to credit for work done?

Payment only happens when a block is found and confirmed, and there hasn't been one found yet. In fact, I think Coinotron is the only one consistently finding blocks at the moment because they have the hashing power. vPool hasn't found one in a few days, and D7 got lucky and found one shortly after they brought up their server, but has lacked since.

PPC's mining difficulty needs to be re-adjusted and it's happening gradually. We should find a block here in the next couple of days, and then payments will occur based on the proportions of shares you submitted to find the last block. 

We have over 160k shares submitted thus far and no block. Difficulty is at 230,000 right now, which means it takes about 230,000 shares on average to find a new block. So, we should see a block at around 230,000 (it could take a bit more, theoretically it could take a lot more days, but I'm hoping that's not the case =P )

pushpool is a piece of poo poo, so I will be switching the fork over to the stratum code based off of Seven's work pretty soon here

Login isn't working. I register and it gives an "account created" message, but when I try to log in the page just refreshes. I've tried turning off AdBlock and tried IE, neither work.

Make sure you are using VuxilsPool.com and not vPool.me, I disabled cookie sessions for vPool.me. Let me know if you still have issues

[Vuxil]

Update - I have Seven's PPC fork with stratum support working in the backend. I can currently connect to it and mine.

I'll slowly work on a frontend and switch us over to the new pool.

[Vuxil]

Two updates:

1. The pushpool server (the one active right now) found it's first block. 100k shares overdue, but hey at least it found something. Payouts should be good at 520 confirms, make sure you grab your PPCoin.

2. Test stratum pool will be developed at http://198.199.74.113/, you can watch it's live development there. The backend for the pool works at http://198.199.74.113:3333, but worker management is not implemented yet. I'm thinking maybe a PPS pool with a high enough fee to cover volatility.

Vuxil,

Could you release the modifications you made to mmcFE for PPCoin? I'm curious to try my hand at running a PPC pool.

[chanzilla]

So what's the latest with this pool?

[SnitraM]

So what's the latest with this pool?

The latest (for me at least) is that it's usually down...

[jhd]

Thanx for the pool i ll try it soon

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

When sending shares AND the MySQL server fails like it so says in the miner, it screws up cgminer that it starts doing some invalid work...Have to restart cgminer for it to work.

Unless PPcoin has demurrage, this guy is scamming people BECAUSE every hour or so I keep losing coins from his pool. last night I had left it at 2.8X something, later I visited it was at 2.75 now it's 2.69 ppcoins.
