[DEAD] DeepBit.net PPS+Prop,instant payouts, we pay for INVALID BLOCKS too

[fcmatt]

If i known the bug, I would have withdraw more than 2 times. my bad.
Good luck Jackrabiit, you found bug & got 10 BTC as reward.

what is odd is that i have a feeling many might have seen it.

for example, i did a payout of my daily bread a few days ago and i noticed my balance did
not go down to 0.00 right after. So the first thought i had there was a slight delay in the backend but it stayed like
that for several minutes.

The next thought I had was to attempt to withdraw it again but I did not put much effort
into seeing if it was possible. I was at work at the time. There was no payout box on the payment page
which would have been an obvious avenue for doing it.

By and by, the balance did goto 0.00. So i thought it was just a processing delay.
Not worth reporting as the code on his website removed the instant payout box. Maybe just clicking
back to the page in the web browser would have done it.. dunno.

kudos for the person who realized it was exploitable in the short time frame the problem was apparent
before the backend caught up.

On this rig, I am running a bitcoin node (has a wallet).  My router is forwarding port 8332 to this rig, so the node has 8 connections.

On my working PC, I am running the node that "connects" to the rig's node. It shows only one connection, and my rig's shows 9 connections when this one is on.  The wallet I use for payouts is on my working computer.

I may never know. And I accept this now.

Kind of curious, are your Bitcoin clients "generating coins"?

Nope. That uses CPU power, and I'm not "generating" with them.

PandaMiner, what address received these generated coins.  Luke's pool is Eligius.  It is still very likely that this is where they came from.

When you find that address, go to this URL: http://eligius.st/~artefact2/5/YOURADDRESSHERE

I don't know how to tell. There is no "received with" line, it's only "Generated."  When I double click it, all I see is generic info like:

Code:

Status: 322 confirmations
Date: 7/27/2011 23:03
Source: Generated
Credit: 0.02331947
Net amount: +0.02331947

Generated coins must wait 120 blocks before they can be spent. When you
generated this block, it was broadcast to the network to be added to the block
chain. If it fails to get into the chain, it will change to "not accepted" and not
be spendable. This may occasionally happen if another node generates a block
within a few seconds of yours.

No, that's completely different situation.
Displayed balance delay was harmless.

I agree, Whilst the idea of what could be done is simmilar, It's not possible via the route you had avalible to you.

We must be on a bitch of a block.

My rewards haven't increased over the last 2 hour marks.....

It is, yesterday we at Slush's got nailed with those couple hours blocks.

... And BTC Guild yesterday on their '2000th' block took 6h54m for 13.5m shares...

It's Luck's Payback time for earlier in the week...

If you are using gmail, you need to check your "Spam" folder at the gmail site.
...

With Gmail you can setup a filter to keep msgs from being sent to the Spam folder even if the spam filter think they should go there; perhaps it would be a good idea to instruct people using Gmail on how to do that for emails from you.

If you think that's bad, MtRed is going on 1d8h4m50s :-/

Yeah, but DB is over 5000gHash

Another hour, still no coin!

[wallet.dat]

I wish we could retroactively switch to PPS

Welcome to Gape time!

From 2.8 BTC in 24 hours down to 1.45 BTC in 24 hours

 

[Iyeman]

well this has to be a new record.... 16million shares lol

   3h 37m    16180592

Yup!

That would've taken Slush or BTC over 7.5 hours approx!

Diff change in 240 blocks approx, more gapings!

[DrKennethNoisewater]

Def some sluggishness in the network, a transfer out from DB is usually pretty quick to be picked up in a block, it's been over 3 hours w/no confirmations.

Other transactions I've made since then already have 18 to 25......

Usually instructing people BEFORE they hit the problem doesn't works.

I think this is explained in this article

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fee

It sounds like that you did solve the block and receive a Transaction Fee.  The article show's a screen shot of the same message you got.

Rewards on Eligius show up as "Generated".

I was not mining in Eligius' pool, but good to know.  It's clear I didn't get the 50BTC, but I was allowed to keep 0.02+ of the fees as a reward, me-thinks.

Anyone else having trouble recieving payments?  I sent a payment about 12 hours ago and still no go, then i sent another just to see if it was just an isolated incidient and still nothing.  Ill check again tommorrow but usually payments never take more than a few hours.
