[Official] List of Current Goldcoin Mining Pools

[MicroGuy]

The mining pool cryptodig.com seams to be gone... does anyone know what happened to it. I had some goldcoin still in there...

Thanks for the head's up! The list of pools has just been updated. 

[Viscis]

I made this quick script to ping the listed pools and check to see if they are available.

Although tompool is accepting connections there is currently nobody mining according to its stats page. All other services (except cloudmines) seem healthy.

Edit:

Here is the code

Code: [Select]

<?php
echo("<ul>");
echo_print("tompool.org", 3333);
echo_print("gld.cryptcoins.net", 5533);
echo_print("gld.minepool.net", 3333);
echo_print("gld.hashfaster.com", 3336);
echo_print("gld.cloudmines.net", 3333);
echo("</ul>");

// Function to print and display a server's ping
function echo_print($host, $port, $name) {
$server = ping($host, $port, 10);
if($server) {
echo("<li>http://" . $host . ":" . $port . " | " . $server . "ms</li>");
}
else {
echo("<li>http://" . $host . ":" . $port . " | down</li>");
}
}

// Function to ping a server, returns a response time in milliseconds.
function ping($host, $port, $timeout) {
$tB = microtime(true);
$fP = fSockOpen($host, $port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);

if(!$fP) {
return null;
}

$tA = microtime(true);

return round((($tA - $tB) * 1000), 0);
}

?>

Thank you!

This will be very helpful in monitoring the status of pools and keeping our lists updated.

You can easily make image based status that update whenever the page is viewed. Such that if the user clicks on the thread they will see a green dot or a read dot next to the name in response to the server being available or not. Just another way that may be easyer.

Is it possible to mine Goldcoin and Doge using AuxPow? Or is AuxPow just for Litecoin merged mining?

Goldcoin does not require AuxPow or merge mining. Unlike Dogecoin, the security of our network is not dependent on maintaining a high hashrate thanks to our custom 51% attack defense.

I apologize but I think I was not very clear. I know that Goldcoin does NOT require AuxPow and I did not say that Goldcoin is unsafe either. My question is can we mine Goldcoin and tie it to the AuxPow in Doge. I would like to mine Gold and get some Doge coins in the process.

That is not possible at this time.
