Eligius: 0% Fee BTC, 105% PPS NMC, No registration, CPPSRB

[gallery2000]

WK, more reassurance is needed next time so that way we don't have a heart attack.  Great it is back!

Hi everyone,

Stats are back.  I'm going to be migrating them to another server some time soon which should eliminate a lot of these issues.

There is a minor artifact in the stats data (visible on the hash rate graphs) right around when the stats started having issues the other day.  The hash rate data for about a 2 hour time period is missing from the stats database.  I will see if I can easily pull this data over from the core database and get it fixed on the stats side.  If it ends up being too much of a PITA I'm probably going to just forget about it though.

This does not affect earnings in any way.  The reward system database (core database) has all of the correct data and rewards are always calculated from the core database.  It is basically just a stats artifact reflected in the hash rate graphs.  The blocks found in this time are reflected properly.

Thanks for your patience everyone.  Also, I will be doing a manual payout to catch up the majority of the queue within the next couple of hours, as well as get NMC payouts caught up.

Yo, wtf. All NMC address in configs have been changed to this.. wtf is going on?

I manually change mine to a new NMC address just in case, I assume we all have to do it.

A word from wizkid057 will be nice.

Manual Change worked. But that address was there.
good payout   around 11BTC

[roy7]

My NMC payout address is also set to N4CVwS13ELKimdJNEChgMJnLZiA7L6MU5F atm.

Edit: I'm not sure when/how/if NMC payments are made, but I've never actually received one that I know of. Figured it was just a rare thing and didn't worry about it.

[AbiTxGroup]

Same here.  I changed mine back also as it had the shown address.  I have had two BTC payputs since my last received NMC payment.

Here is the info that I could find for N4CVwS13ELKimdJNEChgMJnLZiA7L6MU5F, looks like a good payout just recently.

LOL, I spent to long researching and was beat to the post with the info.

I just checked after seeing these posts and mine was changed to above address also.

fixed it now,
but how did it change? and will it mysteriously change again?

edit. last NMC payout to my address was on 9th March (Australian time) just over 4 days ago

[roy7]

How often are NMC payments made? I'm not sure I've ever gotten one.

Edit: I passed on the situation via support ticket and IRC. I figure that's more useful than just complaining here.

Mine changed too...  WTH?

usually daily

how long have you merged mined NMC?

Ain't that the damnedest thing.  Given that our options are supposed to be verified by cryptographic signature it would seem that it's not being verified per payment, probably only upon submission, so if the site gets hacked, we're screwed.  Bad form, that.

I've not used the pool long. And before that only briefly when not mining alt coins. No biggy, and it's only a single Antminer. I'll just change it back when I get home tonight. I pay directly to an exchange since I don't run a namecoin wallet.

Hope wizkid owns the address...

All of the NMC payouts from Eligius have been manual, not mined straight to the wallet, so the same level of protection isn't afforded to NMC as it is BTC.

Wiz:  I'd be happy to get weekly payments of NMC if you would just verify every payout address with every payment.  Verifying them only upon submission to the site isn't going to hack it if the site itself gets hacked.

FWIW, I took a look at the core pool server and didn't find anything to suggest it has been compromised, at least.
So Bitcoin should be fine.

I'm sure you're right.  Odds are you're dealing with a portal issue, either a SQL injection or cross-site scripting attack on the portal itself.  Data in the database was munged for the NMC address, and the source data wasn't verified against the signatures...  which would imply that someone deviously inclined could possibly modify donation percentages, etc.

No personal benefit to doing so for an attacker, of course, but at this point I don't think you can trust any of the configurable options as-is.

My minimum payouts were altered to .2

Yep. I'm off the pool until this is resolved. Shucks.

Why?

Since the issue is only with NMC why stop mining BTC.  With the 1TH's that I have here on this pool the NMC payouts are just a few extra dollars each time.

You sure about that.  The only thing on my account that was changed was the NMC address.

Agreed, I'm staying.  While an attacker could try to screw with us and donate 100% of BTC earnings to the pool, we know those people, and I'm sure they'd remedy that in good faith.  If they just raised the payout threshold, no biggie, I'm not spending right now, anyway.

Losing NMC sucks, but it's such a small, token amount (for me, anyway) that I'm not sweating that.

End sum:  I'm sure this has Wiz's attention, hopefully he can rectify it soon.  Eligius might want to consider leveraging those of us in the pool that do this kind of stuff for a living and put together a code review team or something.
