[ANN] The First Litecoin PPS Pool (litecoinpool.org)

[pooler]

Another bunch of scammers. Tried this for a couple of days, then poof, "Account has been suspended".

Nothing to see, move along, avoid this crap like the plague.

That message simply means that someone tried to access your account using invalid credentials and failed a certain number of times. For security reasons, in these cases the account gets blocked. Your miners and your balance are not affected by this, only the web access.
You can regain access to your account by using the password recovery procedure ("Forgot password" link in the login form). A reactivation link will be sent to your email address. If you provided a fake email address that you cannot access please send an email to the address on the "help" page.

I have now changed the message to be more descriptive.

The next time something unexpected happens to you, please, ask the service operator before jumping to conclusions.

Auto payment threshold isn't working.

Auto payment threshold isn't working.

It seems to be working fine to me. Remember that automatic payouts are processed twice daily, at 11 UTC and 23 UTC.
If you still think there's a problem with your account, please pm me specifying your pool username.

Looking good for me too.

I've been having a bit of an issue lately. When I'm looked in, I get logged out whenever I try to view the Stats page. Any ideas?

All of the other pages work fine, and I remain logged in.

Cheers

In theory you should only need to re-login if your IP address changes, or if the session expires (after a week).

Have you checked that your browser is not using a cached version of the Stats page?

Pooler, is the lack of reaper v13 having long polling hurting you at all with the increased stales?

[tatsuchan]

My reaper client has been getting an average of 350kh, but my account is only reading it as 250kh???  Are there any problems with litecoinpool and reaper since the client is getting such high rates now?

Yes, of course. Long polling is crucial to reduce the number of stale shares to a minimum.

Remember that speed estimates are computed over the last 10-15 minutes; is it possible that you didn't wait long enough for the estimate to settle?

pooler your pool is 51% attacking the network

pooler your pool is 51% attacking the network 

It may just be some kind of wacky bug with Pool-X, which now indicates I'm mining at 1200% capacity (?), but it does highlight the importance of p2pool in protecting the block chain.

pooler your pool is 51% attacking the network 

Luckily enough, being 51% of the network is only a necessary condition to carry out an attack, not a sufficient one. You would also have to modify the client to maliciously handle transactions, and I have no interest whatsoever in doing that.

just to clear a few things up

it wasnt attack from poolers or my side, we were talking most of the day about it and what todo

the litecoin nodes was suffering from addaddress spam causing them to stall completely in end or atleast to a point where the nodes started to come out of sync, p2ppool nodes isnt/wasnt immune

[pooler]

The pool is now back to being about 35% of the network, but I think this percentage is still too high.
I would like to convince people to try out the other pools, so I am going to raise the fee to 5%.
In the past few days we got a very high number of orphaned blocks (because of the recent attacks), so this will also help to cover the pool's losses.

The fee change will take effect tomorrow.

There are currently 9 Litecoin pools to choose from:

[pooler]

As was announced yesterday, the PPS fee is now 5%.

[pooler]

Due to technical problems, we experienced about 5 hours of downtime between 4 am and 9 am UTC today.
The pool is now back up and hashing.

Remember that you can easily avoid downtimes by setting up a failover script for cpuminer. An example is available here.

why has the litecoin forum gone dead?

[rdhnxtz]

why I just get invalid shares by poolmining?

[pooler]

If you experience difficulties connecting to the pool, don't worry, it's just an ongoing DDOS attack.

Edit: The attack only lasted a few minutes. Everything back to normal.
