[XMR] Monero Mining

[smooth]

Confirmed DDoS on moneropool.com.

[smooth]

DDoS on moneropool.com is over and they are back up to a normal hash rate.

Please stay vigilant. There are definitely people who want to attack the pools and coin generally. Spread your hash rate around, have backup pools configured, and consider solo mining if you can handle the variance.

Thanks everyone!

Welcome to nginx!

If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required.

For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org.
Commercial support is available at nginx.com.

Thank you for using nginx.

An exploit has been found in the pool code, which means that some miners are submitting duplicate shares to the pools. Pool owners should update to latest code, pools that have been patched include minexmr.com, hashinvest.net, monero.crypto-pool.fr., and cryptonotepool.org.uk Other pools are currently being exploited, including moneropool.com, which means if you are mining there you will recieve ~50% xmr less than you should.

PS this is not related to the recent BCX stuff

MoneroPool.com is fluctuating close to 50% of the total network hashrate (sometimes goes even above 50%).
Could the devs post here and in the unmoderated thread to urge miners to spread the hashrate around a bit? (It wouldn't hurt to mention cryptonotepool.org.uk as a pool donating 100% of fees to development, and also updated with the latest patch)
I know you have done this many times, but apparently it wasn't enough.

^ Important.

If you are mining on moneropool, please spread out to other pools. There is a list of pools here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0

If possible please allocate some of your hash to solo mining. One way to do that is to solo mine on your CPU while you pool mine on your GPUs. You will get steady payments from your pool mining with maximum contribution to the security of the network and sporadic but bigger rewards from your solo mining.

In all cases with pool mining please make sure you have backup pools configured, especially smaller pools, since DDoS against pools is always a serious threat.

Are moneropool.com working without web-board?  
still getting Welcome to nginx! and no stats...(switched to other pool now)

I switched my miners to cryptonotepool.org.uk a week ago and am very happy with the results.

Connections are rock solid, plus they give the devs the highest % of any pool.

Thank you for doing that, both on behalf of the developer donation and the network health! Especially the network health.

You're welcome.  It was in my self-interest, as moneropool.com is a fat target for attacks and downtime costs me XMR.  Also, supporting the devs helps ensure the future of the XMR I've already earned and hlod.

Currently launching a few AWS GPU instances to mine to cryptonotepool.org.uk 

You misspelled hodl.

i trying to making pool but i dont know what minimum hardware request for pool server

[superresistant]

i trying to making pool but i dont know what minimum hardware request for pool server

For a professional pool, from 800 to 1600 USD per month if you rent it.
If you buy it, well... it's going to be expensive.

For a noob pool any computer with a stable connection will be a good start.

very expensive

Just a quick heads up to everyone here.

If you are mining or running a pool please make sure you are running the latest version and we recommending starting the daemon with --enforce-dns-checkpoints to allow us to provide up-to-date checkpoints without needing to download a new build or static file. Only available in source from github for now. Binaries have some build problem we are still working out.

Thanks all!

Devs, it's that time again!
You know, the spreading of hashrate around announcement.
Moneropool.com is at 55% of the total network hashrate at the time of writing this:

[nioc]

Their total HR has now declined a bit but with the # of miners they have the avg HR per miner is 25,000 H/s

Most likely that is a few extremely large miners (botnets, farms, etc.) pushing up the average.
