[ANN][0.8.6] Hirocoin - X11 - NGW - Secured Blockchain - Time Warp Limitation

[qumatru]

this going to the moon or not?

[restless]

any idea why so high reject rate?  I get 10 to 30% rejects, altho on darkcoin pools i normally get no more that 2-3%
Maybe some tweaking of scanrate?!

[ocminer]

I was wondering why my earning was so low this morning ...

suprnova pool is getting exploited !!

Look at the stats:
https://hiro.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=statistics&action=round

1   anonymous   863   3,463   401.27

400% invalid shares is the sign of an exploit of the pool, sending "fake" shares !!!

Please BLOCK THIS USER. The user is stealing our work by getting most of the coin !!!

This exploit is not working on this pool, don't be worried.

Invalid shares are not payed, don't be worried, your earnings are lower since more people start mining it and diff rose.

Those invalid shares senders are banned automatically after 5 minutes, i've banned those two now manually.

I know that invalid shares are not paid, but seriously:



Don't tell me that this user isn't trying to fool us. And maybe only a few of the shares he sent are accepted, they might still be fraudulous and he manages to be the biggest shares holder.

He sent 11 millions of shares while the second one only sent 500, c'mon ! He is spamming the pool.
There is clearly something wrong with this user. Even if the valid shares are legit, he is nevertheless trying to exploit the bug.

Yes, please ban that user. Anyone with more than 25% of invalid shares should be kicked out.

Dont worry, that user tried or tries to "spoof" shares.. He sents valid shares from one valid rig (to bypass banning) and lots of invalid shares with the same username from other rigs which only produce lots of fake / invalid shares. With my implementation nothing will be deducted from your shares/reward also with "bad" users as they are detected.

My code sees that and currently filters only the valid ones (with correct diff), sends him (and me) a mail that he is about to get banned.
I've already tried to contact him but he suddenly left the pool a few minutes after my mail, so yes, he was cheating and is now probably trying on an other pool.

Pool owners, please use the following advice to make sure your not being exploited

in registry template.py

def diff_to_target(self, difficulty):
        
use
            diff1 = 0x0000ffff00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

(based on block.nBits    = 0x1e0ffff0 - in hirocoin src)

and, do this in mining/service.py:122
if (submit_time - last_ts > settings.WORKER_CACHE_TIME or (percent > 10 and submit_time - last_ts > 10)) and not is_banned:

also look at your banning in your config make sure its not set too high, keep it at max 50%

the above line for service.py will ban anyone if they are sending 100% invalids for the last 10 sec
(this will also ban those that try to ddos you with invalid shares)

- if you need reference regarding me, look through darkcoin thread, i discovered and battled one of the cheaters

Hey Chaositec,

I've tried to contact you, thanks for posting this here, but this is not enough for getting the cheating users out, some shares will still come trough under certain circumstances and they can simply set up multiple workers accounts so bans become more or less ineffective. I'll try to contact you again, check your inbox.

nothing in my inbox..

increase banning time and lower acceptance of invalids in config, and also increase worker catch

if its not enough, then look into the log/stratum.log with tail -f ./stratum.log |grep INVALID there catch the person(s) and use iptable to ban them permanently

First Promotion - Giveaway 10 Hirocoin (hirocoin.org)

This is the first Hirocoin promotion and will run today for several hours, I aim to run another one tomorrow. 10 HIC is available per IP address. To claim this register on the Hirocoin forum and then post your Hirocoin address in the forum page linked above.

only 10 coins? thats worth about 1.5 pennies right now.  haha.

then again, this coin is going to the moon!

[silencesilence]

the wallet can not be downloaded

Well, we are not as abundant as Dogecoin, or it would definitely be a bigger reward I will run a repeat promotion offering a larger amount and allow people who have done this promotion to enter again if they want to. I hope Hirocoin does well in the market so we can get some attention on us. What we want is the attention of miners who will eventually look for a non-Scrypt GPU minable coin. The idea is to be the prominent coin in the next big GPU hashing tier.

the wallet can not be downloaded  

Which one are you trying to download?

I just tested both the Windows and Mac downloads and they work. There is some pretty aggressive protection on the Hirocoin site where these files are located. Are you able to access https://www.hirocoin.org as all?

I could make this available from elsewhere, let me know which one you need? The Mac one is too large for some places.

Why is there only one pool?

Mining Pool

[hammerbrain]

P2P would be nice....I think someone said they were trying it a few pages back.

[leigh2k14]

Is this coin having the same problems as darkcoin?

[silencesilence]

I have only 4% reject

[spiffcow]

Is this coin having the same problems as darkcoin?

You mean the rewards that are inversely proportional to difficulty?  No.
