⚒[CGA] Cryptographic Anomaly - The Elusive Coin⚒

[tf2honeybadger]

Anyone know how to reach anyone at mpos.cg.anomolypool?  I need to cancel my cashout request because the MuCoWa address I was using no longer exists.  They haven't paid out yet, so I'm hoping to change the address before they do.  I can't find any contact info on the site.

I believe the owner has already gone to bed or is with his family for tonight, since it's around 9:30PM where he is. I will make sure that he knows about this as soon as he wakes up and I see him on IRC.

EDIT:All of which I DONT get paid a cent for and should be probably spending my time finding a REAL job instead of listening to a bunch of whining.

As a developer i do think you are also a bagholder so it is in your interest for your coin to prosper..

mpos.cga.anomalypool.com has suffered severe damage to the database and the wallet.dat itself. Please withdraw your balances asap.

http://anomalypool.com/static/ is stable and is not affected by this! This can not happen with p2pools, because you get payed instantly for your shares.

I been using the P2Pool, i see no reason to use a pool with higher fee`s just because it got some "fancy" interface..

Hello MiningViking. You may remember me from the Poloniex Trollbox, as I do a lot of public relations for CGA there and do CGA giveaways occasionally. s4w3d0ff and myself are the developers for CGA. Neither of us are bagholders. I have about 100KH/s to mine with at any given time, and s4w3d0ff can only mine with a Pentium 4. We also have basically zero net worth in BTC. For the record, here are screenshots of my BTC and CGA holdings: http://imgur.com/a/qcWod I've been mining with about 100KH/s since the first hour of the coin being launched.

We have both put an incredible amount of effort into this coin, and everyone wants to see this coin succeed and prosper. Please do not assume that we are in this for a quick profit, or any profit at all (though a little profit would be nice ). We've had all the pool owners and developers for CGA in IRC for over 24 hours working on this problem, and we're not going to stop until it's totally fixed.

I will continue to update this thread today with more details as we have more information to release.

I think you missunderstood me, i never claimed you where in for a quick profit, then you would not try to resolve this you would already be promoting the next coin.
You guys did not start with a cut n paste clone like 99% of all other "new revolutionary coins" out there, that to me gives some relief and comfort to be honest..
Pardon me for being a asswipe in the trollbox, i was tired and more sad then mad for seing what i mined devalve 50%.
It was wrong of me to shoot the messenger.
I did also loose quite alot on the last fork.
This is actually one of the few coins i do hold (one of 7 to be precise - but i have more ready to dump) because it have something that differents it from 99% of all other coins i usually mine, let them be listed, pumped then i dump, i do very little arbitrage trade.
I know "traders" hate when miners dump but mining equipment dont fall from the sky and i always keep running out of hamsters to keep the generators wheel spinning fast enough.

For the last 2 hours I got only 2 payout on http://anomalypool.com/static/ 2-3 block in a moment pass
Again fork? Until the evening payments came okay
The last block wallet 69,460 (already 64)
An hour ago did re synchronization wallet

I just resynched too. My client and the block explorer are at block 69476, that p2pool is at 69909

[niceman]

Coin is still forked. 3 chains with 62610, 69476 and 69920 blocks. It's good to check from p2pool stats. And last 2 chains don't depend from client version.
We need checkpoints to leave just one chain

[niceman]

I think 69920 should win as longest chain, but block explorers and node with "subver" : "/Satoshi;DevSuperNode:1.3.1.1/" on shorter chain now with 69476 blocks.

Wallet still show error : "errors" : "Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade." and not allow make any transactions

PS: My version is "version" : 1030101, and i deleted and re-download chain 2-3 times. Get 69920 blocks and this error again

I have version 1.3.0.2 and it allows transactions just that both exchanges have the markets frozen so there is no point in sending them atm and risk them getting stuck in some limbo.
My wallet syncs up to 69941 right now.
If you PM me your addy i can try send some to you to see if you can recive.

I think you guys are on the wrong fork. I think you need to sync from hardcoded nodes only. Correct fork is not the longest this time. I'm only at block 69518 right now.

First fork experience here, is my wallet not necessarily on the right fork?

Any funds in your wallet from before the fork will be safe if you do not move them. Devs are working on an update to heal the network, but somebody is going to lose coins that were mined on the wrong fork, or have their holdings devalued by low diff cga mined on the wrong fork becoming valid. When the new update comes out you will probably need to delete everything EXCEPT the wallet.dat and start the new client. You might also want to back up your wallet.dat if you are in a lightning storm or something.

Ah well I guess I'll see where we are in the morning.

It's a interesting question what is correct chain now. Usually right chain is longest chain. And where is a reason, wallet loads longest chain with 70014 block now

I was on that chain, then deleted everything but the wallet.dat and now im on a much shorter chain

It's pretty complicated, I am on the official Inceptioncraft chain 500 blocks behind you and I still get some payments from Anomalypool p2pool which is mostly on the longest chain. It's a tangled web we weave.

P2Pools not use any chains, every node mine blocks what have. What's why we see different chain blocks now in last block stats

But more and more nodes now accept longest chain.

We will be continuing to use the chain that TheDigitalMint and Inceptioncraft are on. The anomalypool chain will be abandoned. There are problems with their block chain that we've been discussing on IRC for a while now (hours), and I will go into in depth later. I will also be writing a post-mortem report on this entire problem after it's over. Essentially, the reason why some people see transactions between the chains is because we're accidentally doing a merged-mine between them. It's crazy. I'll write about this later.

POOL OPERATORS: MAKE SURE YOU ARE ON THE CORRECT FORK. Call "getblockhash 69626" via JSON-RPC. If it does not return this exact hash, you are mining on a fork that will be not maintained:
"ced06368f3bc99fd9e630bf5643741ec5414cf6812f454fb2f45ed5396c98208"

REGULAR WALLET USERS: Open your debug console (located under help menu) and run this command: "getblockhash 69626". If it does not return this exact hash, you are on a fork and need to resync your blockchain:
ced06368f3bc99fd9e630bf5643741ec5414cf6812f454fb2f45ed5396c98208


IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE CORRECT CHAIN, YOU WILL LOSE ANY COINS THAT YOU MINED ON IT ONCE WE RELEASE OUR UPDATE.
We have been repeatedly telling people what pools are safe and unsafe to mine on. The only pools that I am absolutely positive are on the correct chain are below:
P2Pool: http://cga.inceptioncraft.net/p2pool/
MPOS: http://cga.thedigitalmint.net
(both have 1% fees)
ANOMALYPOOL IS NOT SAFE TO MINE ON RIGHT NOW. PLEASE SWITCH TO ONE OF THE ABOVE POOLS ASAP.

There are times when you may have to choose between a popular choice and the correct choice. There are always problems when having to choose between more than one blockchain so we must always choose what is right for the whole network, its users and the future viability of the entire coin. People will lose coins because of this decision, but it is the correct decision at this point. Once again, I will be writing up a post-mortem report on this after the whole situation is down and we're back to normal.

It would help alot if you mentioned what wallet version you currently use...

It does not matter. The fork can occur on any public wallet version right now. Please read my post:

when i run  getblockhash 69626 in the console i get:


Safe mode: Warning: Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade. (code -2)

I guess im toast then..
I have not mined during the last 28-30 hours, used http://anomalypool.com/

And if you claim that you REPEATEDLY told people what pools are safe and who are not how come all pools are still in the first post?
To me this sounds more and more like bullcrap, if you want to do whats right for the user choose the chains that had the most miners cause it would have less impact on the majority of your miners!
