Hi Folks, Although I have not found a block with my rentals, I have, and do, use them when I have to power down my machines. Such as when I have company and they must sleep in the "coin room". I have also bought anywhere from 25-400TH of hash and pointed at this pool on more than a few occasions. If we hit blocks during that time or shortly afterwards, my average is still high enough to earn me 8 to 10 x more than I would have earned with only my three S7's. Unless it can be positively proved that there are bad actors hiding in the rental pools and harming our luck on purpose, I'm not in favor of banning rentals. Even if that were the case, possibly something less drastic could work just as well and cover our butt from the threat. I don't know, I'm not sure how it would work. That's above my pay grade. I just finished about a 2-day hash rental from WH at 250TH because I had company and could not run my machines. I also earned a little bit more than I spent on the rental, so that is always a positive. Looking to see the green back on the stats board! Let's find a couple more blocks today!  Just my .02. |

I'm not advocating the banning of rentals. In fact, I have spent way more coin (think nearly 100BTC) on rentals than I probably should have. Personally, I've seen no indication of bad actors as I've hit 6 blocks with rentals (4 on my own pool, 2 on pools previous to my pool starting).
My only point was that if I'm a bad actor, the rental services are where I'd hide because tracking me would be extremely difficult.
I have hit 4 blocks with rentals pushed about 110 coins in to get 100 coins back. So while not lucky certainly not terrible bad luck. Kano can do studies and decide if nicehash-westhash has really bad luck. That's my point in this all. Indeed I'm working on (slowly  ) getting all that sorted and together. Since the pool now has a very large amount of data on the reliability of rental sites, I'll make my decision based on the results. But I'll also be able to post the results publicly since they wont show users, just rental sites. Since it's a lot of data, it should also be able to be broken up into time ranges to also get an idea of when things are good or bad. I've a thread about rentals here a year ago: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1002086.0*Hash treat my comments about it as a joke ... They get paid 6% no matter what happens ... yeah more than ANY actual pool ever gets ... they're just a proxy ... so yeah I can't see them ever doing anything. My last post they never replied to: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562238.msg14321298#msg14321298And apparently the large amounts of *Hash being pointed at the pool is none of my business ... ... ... Dear kano, once again you're sticking your nose into something that it is not your business.
I can make in none of my business by banning it ... ... ... A post before that they completely ignored https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562238.msg13533668#msg13533668Also never heard back from them if they ever did anything about this either: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562238.msg13490011#msg13490011https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=562238.msg13499391#msg13499391Anyway, we'll see (in a few weeks) what the results are. |

I've got PMs from 2 different people regarding having miners redirected to 'other' accounts. Also another person in IRC who left before replying to me. I'm not really sure why it's from multiple people, but anyway. Neither of the 2 target accounts have been paid - they're on hold - they were created after I processed the last lot of payouts. There's an email address, and IP addresses logged of course. There are no other new accounts created 'in the last couple of days' mining from your IP address. The people involved, could you sort it out among yourselves and then get just one person to contact me so I know who I should be discussing it with (make sure you include the other names so I know it's not fake) |

I'm about to do a ckpool restart in the next minute or 2.
Got a resource issue and the restart will resolve it.
It's a standard ckpool restart where most miners will simply see a reconnect and continue mining.
A small % will failover and reconnect in 5 minutes.
If you have a buggy miner that can't handle a reconnect you'll have to check it.
