This thread is for monero mining discussions.
Post here your technical questions, your pools or mining softwares announcements and updates.

Miners

• CPU, open source - Wolf`'s CPU miner.
• CPU, closed source - yvg1900 - Yam M8a Miner New version - use at your own risk.
• GPU, open source - Tsiv Nvidia GPU Miner (based on ccminer) Early in development - Thanks Tsiv!
• GPU, closed source - Claymore AMD GPU miner - Early in development - use at your own risk.

Pools

Spread around the hashrate! Join the smaller pools to improve network health.
Larger pools can only reduce your variance, but on average you get less than on small pools due to ddos-attacks, higher fees, downtimes and slower hashing modules
Only open-source pools are mentioned, sorted by donation then fees. Fees include the donation, so miners won't pay more than the fees listed on the "fees" column. Misleading advertisement = undetermined ban ("undetermined" doesn't mean "forever", just "as long "as we deem it necessary"). Manager's note is a list with 100 character max, no exclamation points and no links. For updates, please contact Quanttek (same on IRC)
Beware: we are doing our best to stay current regarding fees, but always double-check on the pool itself.
We recommend to use only the bolded pools, which are up-to-date on important updates and security fixes. (When none are bolded, all are up-to-date)

http://moneropool.com/ is down and
http://moneropool.org/ says "The pool is under a DDoS attack."

I switched vps providers to Amazon, they are handling the DDoS. The pool is up again. 

Thanks for creating this thread, I agree the spamming in the main thread is ridiculous.

This didn't work, the DDoS continues.

Do you have cloudflare? First level protections are very cheap and should be already much better than nothing.

[equipoise]

Cloudflare would do it for http/https, but not do it for the stratum so it's useless.

Ah, thought they could work with any port. Good luck then!

Anyone know what is up with http://pool.cryptoescrow.eu/ ?
They've got 8% of the network, but haven't found a block in 9 hours, no payments for me either at all.

[Burninj]

Shutting down rigs till we can have a decent working pool...

They are working on fixing the problem, they know what the issue is.

Quote from the Admin
"Block finding statistics are stuck, we are working on it - should be solved soon."

[PeaMine]

Looks like it is paying out now, just not scoring on the website as you said.
Thanks!

have anyone are mining XMR by solo  or  by P2Pool?
Tell me how to do it ?

P2Pool is currently not implemented. You could solo CPU mine from the daemon:
start_mining <your_address> <number_of_threads>
You could solo mine on a single address from multiple machines. Currently if you have 3500 H/s you should get about a block each 2 days on average (more if you are lucky or less if you are not). With the difficulty raising each day I would not recommend you to solo mine with less then 2000-3000 H/s, but if you have 7000 H/s (this is a lot) you should solo mine for sure. If you want to GPU solo mine you should set a private pool of yours in order to do it (the pool software is open source), because you can't GPU mine from the daemon. If you set a pool you should automate the checking if the daemon freezes and restart it, because it's happening with the current code and you won't find blocks.

I'm sick of these attacks.

Everyone complain but what can we do ?

[dmcx]

Yesterday I left few hashes on few smaller pools. Today I got payed from every pool, except http://monero.crypto-pool.fr/, so either they cheating miners or they don't have a clue what are they doing.

After the pools DDOS attack it's obvious that this should be prevented from the pools. There are some BTC pools on constant multi-layer different protocols attacks. For example Eligius pool (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=441465.0), operated by wizkid057 is always accepting shares and you are always mining no matter how hard the DDOS attack is to mitigate. If wizkid057, or other competent operators of big pools (constantly ddosed) could help the XMR pools in exchange of some XMR this would be of great help for the stability of the network on the long run.
