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

[freebit13]

I'm not the only one with this issue.

i have a same problem here, one of the miner just cannot mine in eligius pool, although i can see its speed is 1000G locally, it seems like the local time shown in miner is wrong and maybe the problem

Quoted from: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514758.msg6157919#msg6157919

Any ideas Wiz or Luke?

Yes, I'm getting this too, the stats and graph can swing wildly at times... only over the last 4 days. Earnings and payouts still seem fine though.

Are you sure you read what I posted. If so, what you're saying is the eligius stats are prejudice to a particular machine, if you are saying it's just the stats acting up.

Apologies, I did read what you posted, but was addressing the issue about the stats choking and not reporting the same as my miner... I thought it might be related.

On a positive note, it seems the stats have been stable for the last 5 hours or so

Stats server is still under DDoS attack, causing some screwy stats in some random cases because of database lag from the attack.

Pool server, as usual, is not actually affected and your earnings for your accepted shares are not affected.

If the DDoS is ongoing, then you are doing an awesome job! My stats are back to normal for almost 24hrs now without incident and the payout queue has caught up nicely

It is and has been ongoing for a while... I think 3 weeks now.

I've put some scripts in place to protect the web server a bit more and it is helping.

This weekend I will be working on a major overhaul to Eligius's back end which should help with any remaining pool side stability problems caused by these DDoS attacks.

If I have time I will try to do the same to the stats, and try to finish the remaining code needed to re-enabled namecoin payouts and do namecoin backpay.

Unfortunately I've been extremely busy all around with non-Eligius items, and the time I have been putting into Eligius has been DDoS mitigation

So, better times to come.

Some important notes:

High hash rate miners (I'll start with 10Th/sec+): Please send me a private message, email (forum name at gmail), submit a support ticket, or message me on freenode IRC with a signed message from your mining address requesting private server access if you desire it.  I plan on having a private node setup (beyond the current automated stuff) this weekend for top miners to use exclusively.  This node will have higher work difficulties and other settings best for high hash rate miners.  Will be a trial run, and we'll take it from there.  I assume all will go well though.  This server will function with the rest of the pool normally and you won't notice any difference besides potentially improved stability.  Stats and everything else remain the same.  I will say that you must be mining on Eligius at 10Th+ for at least 24 hours to qualify.

Next, this weekend the "KnC port" (12234) will be redirected to the general stratum mining port (3334).  Anyone still using port 12234 will still be able to for now, but please switch back to 3334.  The firmware issues seem to have been resolved by KnC, so, just upgrade your miners and you should be fine on the main pool.  This will prevent the KnC port failsafes (blocks that pay the cold wallet 1ChANGe address) and help the payout queue stay shorter longer (less manual payouts).

Thanks!

It's going to be a pretty nice weekend, and I'll be inside working on the pool, so... *queue death stares from g/f*

This openSSL stuff got me spooked. Finally made a paper wallet. And now I get to be paranoid about my house burning down, instead of my computer getting hacked.

Perhaps you should engrave it on iridium plate then

now, that, sir, is a brilliant business idea

I'd buy it.

Sure, I'll engrave it for you.  Send over the private key plus costs.

Actually the private key without the public is worthless, correct? As long as he keeps the public key on another plate he should be safe.

You can calculate the public key from the private key.

Yep, the public key is encoded in the private key, you hand out the private key and you're in trouble

The private key is mathematically related to the Bitcoin address, and is designed so that the Bitcoin address can be calculated from the private key, but importantly, the same cannot be done in reverse.

Is NMC OK now? I didn't get any NMC after 9/3/2014/

Damn, so many people getting their knickers in a knot about NMC.  Newflash people, it's worth basically NOTHING.  We don't need a million posts about NMC.

Only if you are looking at the USD value... it has a lot of value if you look into the .bit network that is being created using them for decentralizing dns registration... I think it's very exciting.

At this stage nmc is just a thinly veiled excuse for eking out another few cents in profit and no one really gives a rat's arse about using it for what it was intended any more. It may as well just join the rest of the altcoins, so just accept that's all it is and move on. People want their profits.

There have been some new developments at meowbit.com, that has me quite excited about it... I don't really care what the rest of the profit-seekers think

Maybe I'm reading wrong... but isn't NMC part of the +5% PPS quoted in the title?

Yup, afaik it's the whole 5%, but only if you've entered a NMC address in MyEligius.

That's what I thought.  It's also only if you receive it.  That's why people keep asking about it.

Just to clarify, the "105% PPS NMC" refers only to NMC mining.  The 5% isn't an extra 5% Namecoin on top of 100% Bitcoin, it's 105% Namecoin.  BTC mining is paid out per CPPSRB.  Namecoin merged mining pays out 105% because many miners don't bother to set up their namecoin payouts, so there's more to be distributed among those who do set it up.

actually first thing i did with the first coin i mined was to register a domain.... too bad you it's still not really a 'viable thing' without setting up proxies etc...
