[ANN][MOON] Mooncoin: You know where it's headed! KGW exploit FIXED 4/3/2014

[Spekske]

I have just updated http://dutchpool.org:9664 to link to the correct block-explorer and noticed something funny, if I check my MOON address it displays WDC as currency, probably someone forgot to change that

Just noticed some blocks in the 82xxx range popping up again in the p2pool statistics, so there's still someone mining the wrong blockchain, people should really learn to keep an eye on updates

I've noticed the same and looked a little around.

Does anybody have a Facebook-account, to contact the operator of this pool for asking him to update (Link "suporte" on their site):
poolbrasil: http://186.231.112.136:9664/static

Another one that is running since more than 50 days, which means, that it most probably has not been updated:
evilhumpty.com: http://85.25.197.187:9664/static/
Maybe someone can contact them, too?

Is there anyone with a bit of knowledge of programming ? P2pool would realy benefit from 2 extra fields in the statistics, 1. the current block and 2. the daemon version being used at the node, the latter one would be the most important and you could see at a glance who is on the wrong version.

The site seems to be a good concept. But you should check the single calculator-pages. If you click on "calculate" with only the power-costs changed (for European-prices of ~0.20 EUR = ~0.32 USD) it suddenly shows a revenue of ~120 USD per day, which would be great, but is not real. ;-)
So if you could improve the calculator, then it would be good.

I've tried the above for MOON, don't know if the same error occurs for other coins, too.

[Spekske]

http://dutchpool.org will be rebooting at 12.00 (GMT+2) to complete the move to a faster server, fee for all pools will be set to 0%, please reconnect your miners after the reboot, the process should be finished around 12.30 (GMT+2).

It seemed to happen with every coin that has only an Ltc market, but the issue has now been fixed. Thank you for your help!

You're welcome.
If I had another wish: Could you change the display-mode of exchange-rate/USD from scientific to normal? That way you could compare better at a glance.

All major pools listed on mooncoin.info are down 
Sure makes cheap Mooncoins at Cryptsy.

I shut my pool down as the mooncoind randomly starts chewing up all my bandwidth as well as CPU... the other pools probably got annoyed with that too.

You should simply upgrade your server, if it can't cope with alternating loads. If you followed the average hashrate of the MOON-mining-network, it went from 300 Mh/s up to 1 Gh/s and back over the last days several times. That is not easy for some pools running on a feeble server.

whatever. It could handle it, it was just a waste. I have coins that have had more than 1Gh's, in the 30gh's range and they do no such ridiculous resource consumption or bandwidth consumption. using 10-15mb bandwidth and 150-175% cpu for 18-20 hours isn't reasonable.

You can always mine at http://dutchpool.org:9664 p2pool, 0% fee and no server problems with MOON whatsoever

I cant get cgminer to work with this pool. I must be doing something wrong but cannot see actual mining activity there when looking at their website.

The following pool is up and healthy!

Moon has never been at such a bargain price - buy low sell high

[slashka]

Wow! The coin comes from death!  Why? Did I miss something? Will begin mine it now anyway.

The pool has over 13MH/s currently (global poolrate), you probably misunderstand the concept of how p2pool works, http://dutchpool.org provides one of many nodes that work together to form the pool, shares and payouts are done accross the pool, not just a single node. To mine you only need bfgminer or cgminer, run it using --scrypt, the url is http://dutchpool.org:9664 username = your MOON receive address and password is not even needed since p2pool pays directly to you wallet without any third party or central wallet involved. If you want to know more about p2pool please read this: http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/p2pool-mining/2014/03/25
An example to run cgminer would be: cgminer --scrypt -o http://dutchpool.org:9664 -u XXXXXXXXX -p yyyyyy
Where XXXXXXXXX is your receive address and if you insist you can set a password with -p yyyyy or whatever password you like I am currently running a small miner on the node so you can see it works.
