GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace

[runlinux]

Saw something wierd with my miners today, some of the total hashrate was going to public work, and some was still getting dumped to my private pool.

I hopped on IRC and asked about it, turns out it's part of the load balancing for GPUMax.

So if you see the same thing going on, that what it is.

I figured it was something along that line. Work was being accepted, but miner data was slow, if even correct, on the site.

The website still contains javascript that fucks up my browser 
I caught it using 6GB of RAM just now, and had to kill it - even though I got this window about stopping the script, it still froze the browser.

No idea man.  No problems here with that page showing live stats.  Stays right at 500MB RAM total for me on Firefox.

I've never seen this either.  I usually have a GPUMAX window up 24/7, and it has never given me any trouble.

I'm fairly sure it is an unwanted interaction with some plugin or something, but when the javascript is obfuscated it makes it impossible to find out where the issue is.

The main suspects at this point are adblock plus (with EasyPrivacy+EasyList definitions installed), LastPass (which is already causing memory leaks), and perhaps TrackerBlock.
It seems to work OK for a little while, and then suddenly it will freeze solid and gobble memory. I wonder if there is some bug where unexpected data from the server might cause an issue.

Well, I use AdBlock Plus also, so I doubt it's that.  As opposed to LastPass and TrackerBlocker, I use KeePass and Ghostery.  Never had a problem with either of them.  You might want to give them a try and see if it helps.

Attention GPUMAX Users

Over the past month we've been dealing with massive load changes due to users allowing others to mine on their accounts. This is not only unfair for those sitting on the waitlist but also makes it very hard for us to control the growth during the beta.  While our ultimate goal is to allow anyone to use our service, we just don't have the time to deal with uncontrollable growth and develop the platform at the same time.

Effective tomorrow (Friday 06/29/2012 12:00am CST), accounts with the following activity will be suspended.

• Any account with miners connected on 2 or more IP addresses from different subnets.

No other limitations will be made at this time. If we continue to see issues, additional actions will be taken.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Anyone seeing consistently slow relay to their private pool?  Cgminer reports good while gpumax and the private pool are 15% lower.

I started noticing this recently.

Kudos on this call!

Simple question - I have a single card that I mine from at home and it's always mined from at home while my main setup is at the wife's office (obviously different IPs and subnets).  Should I just point my home miner to a different pool?  I'm just asking because I'm sure there's a lot of people here who have a main facility and then their home setup who might be having the same issue.

Would there really be significantly more abuse if the limit was two addressess instead of one? I don't claim to know how the abusers are spreading work, but I know that people mine at home and at work, for example. Of course there will be people who legitimately mine at more than two locations, but the home / work locations are pretty common for obvious reasons.

We realize that people have multiple locations but for every user that's legitimately using the service from multiple locations there are 5 that aren't.  I don't want this to sound like we don't care or don't appreciate your business but the waiting list is gigantic.

Thanks for the update.

[MrTeal]

Does this mean that GPUMax will start making its way through its waiting list?

That would rock. I've personally been on there since Jan or Feb.

[ErebusBat]

Are there separate lists for buyers vs sellers?

Yup, it's been horrible recently. No public work and slower hashrate to private pool = why bother

[phantitox]

mmm one question i have miners at home and at my office, there the same isp, they both got 3G backup connection (cause the internet in my country really suck)  that means that at some point there is a chance that one miner is with my local isp and the other is over the backup connection, so what i need to kill my backup isp? o i need to move the whole miners to one location?

Pirate, I really admire and respect you a lot for all your work in different Bitcoin projects. I'm also VERY happy with your GPUMAX service.
I also can follow the reasons you brought up why you don't want that someone is sharing an account with others, and therefore I could understand that you would forbid and technically restrict it.

However, as one of your users I would give you my feedback.
I'm using your gpumax service with four of my rigs. Only two of them are at the same location. The other two are somewhere else (my office and in my friends garage). I had to do this to distribute the heat and power. Therefore they are using three different IP's.
You know for yourself that this 'more than 1 IP' filter is not a accurate. But if you would like to restrict it in this way it's of course your choose.
But the timeline is VERY hard! I really would like to avoid that my account is getting suspended because not all of my miners are using the same IP address.
I guess I'm still a lucky guy, because of reading your announcement in time.
Because of having no other possibilities I unfortunately have to reconfigure 2 of my rigs to avoid using GPUMAX. The one in my office I can reconfigure tomorrow morning. But I don't think I will meet your deadline with the rig in my friends garage, but I will try. Let's hope the best...

Keep up the good work!

Doesn't this defeat the purpose of "managing all of your miners" as GPUMax is supposed to accomplish?

[gnar1ta$]

I also run most of my miner from a separate location with one rig at home, using 2 different IP's 

[BitMinerN8]

If I'm reading Pirate's message correctly, it says 2 or more IPs. So you should have concern with >2 IPs.

You are not reading it correctly:

Any account with miners connected on 2 or more IP addresses from different subnets.

2 or more = greater than or equal to 2.

Assuming they are on differing subnets that is.
