Going to be at the top of CoinChoose anytime now. Good work all.  I will come back and mine MEC if it gets stuck in the mud again.

Thanks for the help. Nice to see MEC recovering after everyone pitched in!
What are you mining instead if you don't mind me asking?

Same here, thanks to everyone that helped. Wow! Megcoin is already back to #2 profitability. No doubt way undervalued! Amazing recovery!

No problem - Sorry guys and thank you for helping me "test" the pool. I really want to make this work and hate to waste anyone's time.

Alien I'm not sure what you mean about the block being behind. I'm checking other pools like meg.smalltimeminer.com and we appear to be on the same block.

I'm using stratum-mining fork: https://github.com/viperaus/stratum-mining

Looking at stratum.log I don't see anything off, unless I'm missing something:

I see it a lot in there - doesn't look like an error per say.

Maybe there's stratum-miner files that need to be modified specifically for MegaCoin? Anyone have pointers plz?

ty !

Yes it does look like you are on the same block now.  Maybe the stats page was just updating slowly before..

Cool I was hoping it's just the refresh.

We still haven't solved any blocks though - I made a couple of tweaks to the configs but nothing major - restarted stratum-mining process too.

ok to test i switched over to moopless stratum-mining build from viperaus - let's see how if that works any better...

HOLY SHEEP SH!T - WE FOUND A BLOCK WITHIN 30 MINUTES!

GRRrrrrr and w000000t

Lady's and Gents - the Pool is WORKING good - jump back in plz if ya can to confirm

[gr33k]

Well blocks went through (6) so far and some payouts went through but a good chunk of them did not for some reason...

I'm looking in to that right now - it is NOT intentional nor malicious intent. I will get it fixed or manually send you the coins that you are owed.

Just need some time to investigate wtf this buggy code isn't working

Okay folks, I finally have my block explorer up.

It was a painful setup, but we needed it.

Enjoy!

Thank you very much to all of those who have contributed HASH power to the pool!

Had to put the pool on maintenance mode for now. Payouts are not fully being payed out and I'm investigating still.

Worst case - I might have to clear out the DB and manually sent the payouts to everyone - this is fine...just will take me some time.

I would prefer to fix this and have the payouts go out as intended before taking the manual payout route.

The DB is all weird for transactions.

Some payouts went through - most did NOT. Manually running the cron to payout says "no new unaccounted blocks".

Here is the transactions table: http://thec0de.com/paste/?7cfefb995e5f4ff5#zaDFGXI/uaSBzl1mGYE2rPooF86z+ZpcFH3Mzv2zBpw=

If anyone has ran into this problem before, and/or have tips on how to resolve this payout issue - please lemme know

Really?
If that happens > use checkpoint > coin alive and well > wasted resources.
It can not die.

[rapta]

It's not a 51%.  Why do you keep coming in here talking crap about Megacoin?  Buzz off!
