What's up with GME being removed from Cryptsy?

Fork, 51% attack required new client etc. big job.  No point being on Cryptsy until all happy it's stable again.

I would imagine that BigVern would need a resonable explanation of what went wrong, and what's been done to fix it before he would enable GME again.

Yep GME is available on port 3339, if you sign up to Tompool it'll create a GME account for you, in which case you can use ctompo.dyndns.org:3339. I've added GME back to the Tompool homepage but for now I'm going to manually point multipool miners to it every little while. Multipool should be moving over to it in a couple of minutes, I just hope GME works this time as there's been a lot of hashing power going towards it recently with no result.

weird, why i got 1000 GME per block?

Mine were also 1000 per.   I believe they abandoned the reward adjustment.

The block time is back to the original 2.5min, not 1min, so there is no need to divide the reward by 2.5.

I couldn't even log into ahmed's pool at all today!  WTF

Same situation for me, already since yesterday

[truckythin]

Can I get the patches off you for p2pool for gamecoin? Specifically the networks.py stuff. I just want to set up a small p2pool for back up just like what happened today when there were no working pools for several hours.

[tyrion70]

OK its running again.. Apparently Petrified added a version check that doesn't allow old clients (<80400) to connect.. P2Pool is acting like a client and sends its own version to gamecoind. That was still at 80100...

@Erk, sure my values are pasted below; but due to above you at least also have to manually change the version in p2p.py

Mind you to change the ports to the correct value..

Thanks, what port are you using for the p2pool network? Are there any other nodes peering on it?

do guys know any working pool?
