[ANN][POOL] ipoMiner - Profitable multipool targeting new coins + merged mining!

[Kebooz]

Hey guys,

I pointed my worker to the ARcoin pool (port 3716) but I'm mining PSEUD ?!

Is that a result of the fresh Ddos Attack ?

Thx !

ARCoin had a short PoW mining period, and it has already ended. When mining on a specific coin ends, we reroute the direct port to mine the multiport for that algorithm so miners don't experience downtime.

Also note that the PoW mining period for CNL just ended as well.

[Kebooz]

oh... ok

My bad.

Thanks !

Any new scrypt coin? Rental webs are somewhat rented out on scrypt..

We've finally managed to track down the problem with TRI. Sorry for the delay, but without an official block explorer it was not easy to track down what's going on.

The low-detail summary:

There was a bug in the TRI wallet code where it sent out a large amount of duplicate transactions, and we now have ~4100 less TRI than we should.

Now for the longer version:

There is a complex bug that occurred under what seems like an edge case, from the combination of the initial TRI wallet transaction fee bug and the subsequent commit that was made to fix it. The Github commit for the fix is here: https://github.com/TrianglesProject/triangles/commit/911282be61fba5ce6abf7d63b9ac74a5a42ae44e

When we upgraded our TRI wallet from the original to that commit, our first transaction was duplicated by the wallet. We requested a transaction consisting of five payouts with a total value of ~258 TRI. The wallet duplicated our requested transaction 16 more times, for a total of over 4386 TRI being sent out in block 1266.

Now, this means that our wallet has a balance shortfall of ~4100 TRI, or approximately 90% less than what it should have.

Here's the block explorer view for block 1266, where this occurred: http://rentmydns.com:2750/block/00000000007276e4a5d889963b69eb587a0c94550dd16b989e6b145f49b6f2f3

And for a high level view of ipoMiner's TRI wallet address, see here: http://rentmydns.com:2750/address/TM331soe2F7TAvXTonV9dXkihdpbdPSWeV

This is a serious issue affecting the TRI community at large, since 4100 coins is nearly 10% of the total PoW supply, we were one of their primary pools and biggest advocates to get onto Bittrex, and there are over 230 miners affected at ipoMiner. We're hopeful their developers will address the issue and propose a solution; however, since it appears that TRI does not have a premine, there may be little they can do.

We're still in the process of determining what to do and are open to suggestions, but unless the TRI developers can provide some form of resolution, the most fair solution will likely be to proportionally split the actual TRI balance we have among everyone according to their balance.

No, but it would be nice of you to offer to help investigate the matter at the very least.

didn't see this one till I read your post. We need better scrypt coins than RzR that dog is dead

We added VastCoin on the X11 multiport - its a short 25-hour PoW period, and difficulty seems to be ramping up fast! It is also on direct port 3615.

so the word is that VAST is the same dev as CNL, any in site on that IPOminer?  people seem to be renting some rather large hash for VAST and there is so many similarities its scary.  ANN Op's looks similar, graphics in the threads almost identical.  if its the case that it is the same dev what's your feeling about VAST actually making an exchange seeing the current panic in CNL?

just want some in site or thoughts here, please dont mistake my questions as any sort of knock at what you guys do.

Edit: I dont think any exchanges will touch this coin...seems to toxic at this point.  I suggest moving the multiport to something else.

What's up with the VAST payout? I got some coins confirmed since a while and no payout.

You know whats funny? The same thing happened with CNL and I got my first payout like 20 hours after mining...

Hope it does happen tonight I want to DUMP my coins...

Can you tell me where you are dumping them?  not sure there are many buyers out there at this point

I don't have any insight into who's behind CNL or VAST, but if VAST plays out the same way that CNL did, there will be a lot of happy and unhappy people. Try to be one of the happy ones, by ensuring that you take profits incrementally along the way. This is the same strategy we suggest for miners for every coin, by the way: sell 10-30% of your holdings of a coin at a time. You'll never make the absolute maximum profit on a specific coin, but you should average higher returns that way.

My suggestion has always been, and continues to be, that trading should be treated separately from mining. Our goal is to mine the most profitable coin to sell in the near term, and CNL certainly was that. If VAST proves to be as profitable as CNL was for miners, that would be terrific.

VAST payouts are now enabled. For reference, we generally don't immediately enable payouts on new coins because of the high risk of new coins forking in the first few hundred blocks as large pools start mining. We typically enable payouts for a coin after they've gone through a few hours of mining or have been added to an exchange. We can always do so sooner if there's some sort of urgency... typically no one even asks or attempts a withdrawal until a coin is being added to an exchange.

I've had people approach me with OTC offers already at 2500 satoshis in >1 BTC increments, so there do appear to be buyers out there. Personally I'm holding my own mined VAST for at least 5000 satoshis though.

I always agree with your take on things, and fully agree with looking at mining and trading diffrently...in this case however it seems really unlikely VAST will hit any sort of exchange, there is some real outrage on the thread which suggests that any exchange that lists VAST could be in for a world of hurt.  But hey I trust you guys always have and will keep my miners on VAST to see what happens. 

Thanks as always.

Someone will almost undoubtedly list it - I've literally never seen a coin with 150Gh/s+ of nethashrate not get listed somewhere.

And, consider that threads with the most "outrage" on short PoW periods are usually just attempts to keep miners away to reduce mining difficulty. If I had to bet whether anonymous strangers on the internet cared about your welfare on whether a coin was a scam or not... I would bet they don't, and that it is just another form of manipulation. As always, buyer (or miner) beware and use caution. A heavy dose of skepticism does go a long way in this industry.

When I requested my withdraw CNL was already on 3 exchanges...

Bittrex-Richie has status OP in #IPOMINER IRC...

No wonder why scam coins like VAST get added to BITTREX...

It was clear that VAST was the same dev has CNL and you guys added it..

I think things are clear now thank you...
