[CLOSED] MaxBTC.com Pool - Closed Indefinitely Aug 3rd 2013

[btcx]

Having issues with a payout that has been queued up for 3 or 4 days.

And the Contact Us page is giving this error: "SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate"

Thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble.  I'm looking in to this now.  Hopefully, I'll have fixes for you later today.

Payout and API difficulties should be resolved.  A few users received duplicate payouts.  If you could kindly return those it'd be much appreciated:  1M7nCDSNX4k1A5yaZL2dQXMYxbcy5k8mkP  Thanks

I get  

Internal server error
Error: Unable to connect to servers

when trying to connect to site.

This pool looked great at the start and seems to be a casualty of war now.

No update withs stratum, vardiff, etc.

Is MaxBTC on .7 or .8?

Is MaxBTC on .7 or .8?

Looks like from the stats at the top of the site they are on .7

Hi! Did you already implement withdrawal to Moneybookers?

[greatwolf]

The ogrr forum link there doesn't work. The contact page also fails with:

Code:

SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate

when submitting a contact request.

Lastly, is there any chance of allowing dots `.` in worker names instead of hyphens `-`?

btcx,
ETA for stratum?  Can you reset my two factor authentication?  The site never asked me/promoted to set it up and now it is locked.

Oh, and what are your DGM settings?

hi btcx,

with your pool i get stale rate of about 4.6%!    This is much to high, because it´s lost reward. with other pools, i am on stale rate around 0.16%. what can i do about it?

greetings, worker

[btcx]

wow apologies for missing all these replies to this thread!  I've gotta sort out my notifications.

Guys, to be very honest, the pool has been somewhat neglected as we've focused our attention on Kraken.com.  It will probably be 2 months before we are able to make any significant improvements (stratum, vardiff, etc) and until then we'll do our best at just keeping it up and running.  In the meantime, there are some other great pools out there that might better serve your needs but if you want to stick around, we're glad to have you

Please feel free to PM me directly if you have any trouble with two-factor, the support system, etc.  Actually, it's probably better to just PM me than use the support system at all.

DGM settings were discussed earlier in this thread:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=68734.msg814952#msg814952

Possibly but could you tell me why that change is important to you?

I'll PM you now for more info.

It's really more for consistency as a fallback server. This way if I do use maxbtc as backup I only need to change the ip of my miner to point to it. Otherwise I'd have to change the worker name as well and that becomes another room for error.

Add both pools to the config with one as failover? Then you dont have to change anything.

Also,

 http://www.maxbtc.com now points to a godaddy web page, and https://www.maxbtc.com is completely down. As well as the pools randomly not working.


Probly would want to check into that, cause as though its not your highest prority right now, I would bet it isnt your lowest either considering its basiucally free money as long as its up.

Seems this pool is being abandoned :/ That's too bad. I liked the way it presented all of the workers stats.

It's due to the current round, it's over 337 hours now, no payout. So people have left.

[MiningMan]

is the website like completely down too?

I had noticed in the last few rounds completion there is 1 big workhorse that contributes quite a bit of shares.. perhaps they are having hw problem or as u suggest have left.
