Please iridium miners beware of cryptoknight.cc pool !!!!

More regarding the payments: 10+ hours mining at more than 6K H/s were only rewarded by less than 49 IRD (around 48,3480) which is inconsistent regarding network difficulty / hashrate / my hashing speed.
...

Sadly, this is a common issue with the cryptoknight pools. I confronted the sleazebag who runs them in the XUN thread about a month ago:

> This is not an ASIC attack, Same greedy bastard with name Seb_Green keep attacking our network and all other CryptoNote networks and we are going to put a stop for that soon.

dog-ate-my-homework excuse.

Maybe, but you and your shitty cryptoknight [sic] pools have a bad reputation here and your post history makes this post supremely ironic, as it is full of similar dog-ate-my-homework type excuses. Miners on your pools complain about gross underpayment and you respond with, "not my fault we didn't find a block," and never, "well, I set my PPLNS parameters to ensure you get screwed out of most of your hashrate if we don't find a block for a day; sucks to be you."

So, miners beware of the cryptoknight.cc pools. And devs should not be so quick to accept fantastically generous donations of $500US/month without wondering what is expected in return...

i mine on irdpool.ca no problem 

[Iamtutut]

Nice hashrate, I'm joining. 105ms latency is ok.

[Iamtutut]

I have a fixed difficulty:

French pool (https://irdpool.fr/): 493325850 total hashes, reward: 86.79 IRD. So 5 684 132 H / 1 IRD.

Canadian pool (https://irdpool.ca/): 39253000 total hashes, nothing paid, and only 2.56198854 IRD pending. So 15 321 301 H / 1 IRD

WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K ?!? That's 3 near times more hashes for the same revenue !!!! There's no way the difficulty has tripled in the meantime, there's at max 40% more hashes on the network.

EDIT: So I'm obviously going back to the French pool for IRD mining. Slower but pays better.

...I've moved to a much smaller pool https://irdpool.fr/ that seems more honest to me...

This is my pool... fortunately it's honest

[stevebrush]

... And devs should not be so quick to accept fantastically generous donations of $500US/month without wondering what is expected in return...

As we can not stop anyone from doing a pool, this donation is better than nothing : there is not much others apart pools.
When I accept the offer from seb green, I am not being advised of this practice.

Of course, a warning must be made and we will did it if it's the case

I know that irdpool.ca perform well or better than cryptoknight at same HR, I'm looking ofen at the pools list on https://explorer.ird.cash

This is the problem when most of people are going to same pools : hashrate is centralized and rewards are divided by miners*shares.
As we use the currently best daa algo (zawy's lwma - and I assume it performs well), big HR / small HR difference is insignifiant. We have less than 2% of 'stolen' blocks in case of attacks and we are in the top list of the fairest coin to mine.



That's why I ask miners to choose the pool that correspond to their attempts and keep the hashrate decentralized.

The explorer show all known pools and there are now old budies that you can trust.

Please iridium miners beware of cryptoknight.cc pool !!!!

my CPU mines Iridium an average 800H/s at 52% workload. My GPUs around 5.4KH/s, so at least 6KH/s in total.

The 1st time I decided to use https://cryptoknight.cc/iridium/ as my mining pool I had a warning from my anti-virus that the website is malicious (trojans and/or viruses and son on). I ignored the warning due to the fact that most of the hashrate is there. I noticed at once my computer slowing down.
My browser went from using less than 5% of the CPU power to almost 17%. Closed the tab, use went back to normal. I did it again a few minutes ago, it was the same behavior. Once the tab is closed, the browser needed much less ressources.
Even worse, my CPU miner (JCE-CN 0.29) lost 200H/s that went back as soon as the tab was closed.

Therefore it's clear to me the https://cryptoknight.cc/iridium/ runs some kind of malicious scripts to mine CN through the browser without any user consent.

More regarding the payments: 10+ hours mining at more than 6K H/s were only rewarded by less than 49 IRD (around 48,3480) which is inconsistent regarding network difficulty / hashrate / my hashing speed.

I advise to stay away from this pool, I've moved to a much smaller pool https://irdpool.fr/ that seems more honest to me. I've already recieved several payments from them (16,28 IRD after 3Hs mining this morning and others a few days before) and they claim to support the Iridium devs and core team.

this is pure bullshit top to bottom.

yes please all read the xun thread, many find it amusing

Even worse, my CPU miner (JCE-CN 0.29) lost 200H/s that went back as soon as the tab was closed.

Also I encourage the spread of hashes over many pools. Right now my pool has 44% of the network. But you can do so without accusing me of bullshit you can't prove anyway, because it's bullshit.


ProTip: you can disable the shader background on the bottom of the connect tab, that should solve your cpu-miner issues. It's not a secret webminer, it's a shaderplasma, obvious to everyone.

I switched from cryptoknight to irdpool:fr and I got less than half of what I was getting in the first one. 69 IRD with 7.7KH/s in 24 hours??

It depends of course of the global hashrate but also luck : sometimes blocks are solved fast and sometimes not. You can see this in the blocks tab.

Ok : In anyway, miners can confirm and are free to choose on witch pool they want to mine.

I know the controverses about seb pools and seb himself. I use to discuss cn technicals points with him and I consider him as a nice, clever and advised guy.
I think if is there is something hidden it his many pools, there is many advised miners or devs that will already point this. I might be wrong but this is currently my point of vue.

I think that PoW is no longer needed because we have PoS...

PoS is rewarding wealth. PoW is rewarding work.

Therefore PoS = Piece of Sh..

Iridium is PoW.

Those who want to see the fraudulent legacy financial system, where newly issued money goes to the billionaires/monopolists, the friends of the central bankers, and then eventually a tiny bit of it "trickles down" to their wage slaves, bering introduced in crypto too --> Support PoS coins.

Those who want to see crypto as a system where newly issued money goes directly to the workers (aka miners) --> Support PoW coins

I guess most of the kids who scream for PoS on this and other forums have no clue what that concept really means. I doubt they are rich, probably just stupid.

If you think about it, it's the same thing, you don't mine with your hand bro, you mine with your gpu,cpu or whatever, at the end of the day it's still money. They can have a big farm or they can buy coins, same thing it's still money. PoS is better in a sense that it does not allow big company like Bitmain to have asics for themselves (they usually mine with asics for months before selling them). PoS will prevent that.

And how to prevent PoS low liquidity and whales buying giant loads of it just to gain a fat passive income?

Based on your question, you clearly have no background in economic, this is basic macro econ, the equation MT=PV. Liquidity has to be controlled, for USD we have the FED adjusting prime rate and money supply on the market by selling or buying T-Bonds. any thing that has limited supply (like gold) cannot be a currency, the best it could be is asset. To be a currency, it has to be monitored and controlled. Liquidity with POS is not POS issue but it's the coin and decentralized model issue. Hope that helps but i don't expect you to understand.

You are a scammer, deal with it.

can you prove it?

Innocent until proven otherwise, I can relate to that. But also: when it seems to good to be true, it mostly is to good to be true.... Can you somewhat disclose how you can run so many 0% fee pools? Those servers and electricity can not come cheap, right? When you are mining for some extra income, you can not understand other people giving money away like it seems you are doing... so, how are you able to run 0% fee pools?
