F2Pool「魚池」🐟

[philipma1957]

Is there some problem with Huntercoin merged mining? My Payouts page shows no HUC payouts for the last two days. I'm mining LTC.

Huntercoin blockchain rolled back due to bug. Please see Huntercoin thread at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=435170.msg11690687#msg11690687 .

Thank you for the info.  I was going to ask the same question.

Two of my scrypt miners disconnected from f2pool and are mining on failover pools. I've tried restarting the miners, but they cannot see your pool.

This started happening around 21:00 PDT last night.

There have been no changes on my side. I'm running the same mining hardware and software and network connectivity seems normal.

Have there been any poolside changes or other issues that might prevent my miners from connecting with your pool?

Something has gone bonkers on F2pool.  80% of my machines will not connect now.  Several other large miners I know are having the same connectivity issues.

Please address soon!!!

Can anyone explain about this "From July 1, NMC/IXC/I0C payout to be increased to BTC×7. Huntercoin payout will be restored."

Can anyone explain about this "From July 1, NMC/IXC/I0C payout to be increased to BTC×7. Huntercoin payout will be restored."

For each BTC you mined, you can get 7 NMC + 7 IXC + 7 I0C + 5 HUC for free.

Does it mean that if someone mines 0.2 BTC he will get ( 7 NMC + 7 IXC + 7 I0C + 5 HUC) / 5?
Or 1 BTC is the minimum barrier in order to receive the bonus?

Thanks

There is no 1 BTC barrier. You mine 0.2 BTC, you get 0.2 BTC + 1.4 NMC + 1.4 IXC + 1.4 I0C + 1.0 HUC. But you must fill the payout address before midnight UTC on the day of payment.

We mined block 363270 this morning which has 4509 transactions and 1000000 bytes in size, both so far the largest in chain. http://reddit.com/3bpbqv

@macbook are u still on DDOS ? My miners are not very stable.....  
Your stratum server seems to be dead at this moment

[edonkey]

I'd also like to know the actual status of the pool. Yesterday I was still seeing connectivity problems (Scrypt), even though the DDoS note was taken off the web site.

My miners are pointed elsewhere until the site is stable.

Our upstream network misconfigured their routing to Aliyun Beijing. The issue occurred at 16:35 UTC, and it has been resolved. Stratum servers in Qingdao was not affected. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[ssateneth]

This pool may be mining INVALID blocks, meaning you will not get paid for mining. This applies to the BITCOIN chain.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3c2cfd/psa_f2pool_is_mining_invalid_blocks/

Switch your miners until this is resolved.

[macbook-air]

We are PPS. Miners will not be affected by the incident.

[macbook-air]

Miners will very much be impacted by the incident. Maybe you pay for this time, but you cannot continue to cover such a large loss. What about confidence? Do you think people should have confidence to mine with F2pool and no shady actions will occur?

There is no impact on miners at all, and our PPS fee is very low if you consider all those merged coins we are giving out: 7 NMC/IXC/I0C is about 0.019 BTC or 1.9% of your earning. The loss is also trivial to us. Our Bitcoin reserve is more than 10000 BTC and we also have many altcoins.

I do mine with F2pool at times, currently as a backup, and I think we deserve to hear more about how this does not impact us.
Care to comment on 'SPV mining' explanations being provided by the bitcoin folks?
The short version is they state you and antpool caused most of this because you were not validating blocks.

Do you have a response, or is this the way you plan to run your pool in the future?

We will continue do SPV mining despite the incident, and I think so will AntPool and BTC China. We will do it more carefully in the future however. Today's incident was caused by one of AntPool's outdated bitcoinds. BTC China and us simply followed AntPool's block announcement, only they have worse luck, so they did not generate as many blocks as us.

Another very good reason people should not mine on Chinese pools.  This is EXTREMELY bad for the Bitcoin network.

RE: sloopy

First, we are not a pure SPV mining operation. We only do that within seconds after a new block is found on the network. We did have a safe guard in the beginning which falls back to the verified block template if after one or two minutes the local bitcoind still not able to catch up with the udp notification. But the safe guard was disabled due to bug when we lost an orphan race a few months ago. We have already implemented a quick fix. It should be ok now. And we will further refine the code in the next few days.

[edonkey]

Between this failure to validate incoming blocks problem and the RBF issue just 2 weeks ago, I've got serious concerns about this pool. It feels to me like you favor tweaks to boost the pool's performance over conformance and reliability.

I've had it with this F2Pool and Antpool until I see some evidence of improved core competence and stability.

[btcash]

Not even an appology for causing the biggest bitcoin fuck up since the march 2013 hard fork, which was a bug and not caused by incompetence and greed.

Chun Wang, (F2Pool) has now not only proven the second time that he is clearly not compented and greedy but is also quite arrogant.

We will continue do SPV mining despite the incident, and I think so will AntPool and BTC China.

Chun Wang, Mark Kaperkles, Trendon Shavers -> The three worst people that ever happened to Bitcoin. The whole bitcoin network would much safer without F2Pools hashing power. Please find some other thing you can exploit/abuse and destroy.
