This topic is for questions and discussions of the CryptoCoin Mine pool.
http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com/

This pool has a significant share of the hashrate right now.
-
Yeah it has 9.22MH/s of the networks 11.1MH/s
-
Don't know if something is wrong. But I had say 50 Valid Shares then the count dropped down to 1 Valid Share and the count is starting over. Any reason why this would happen? And the shares I had yesterday aren't showing, just so you know I didn't cash out.

That is valid shares in the current round. When the round finishes, the number is reset to 0 and you are paid for your shares in the last round. (Well it's PPLNS but yeah.) The blocks your payments are from need 120 confirmations before you are able to withdraw them.
Go to Account > Transactions > Unconfirmed (http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com/index.php?page=account&action=transactions#Unconfirmed) to view your payouts that are yet to be confirmed. (ie. won't show up in available balance)
-
Dreamwatcher, think you can edit the mining pool to show the current time in whatever format is being used to post when blocks are found on the bottom of the left side info bar? (UTC would be awesome all around)
Like, right underneath 'Pool Invalid". I am not sure which time zone you are using for the site.
-
Thanks Dayne, I never would have clicked on any of the links to find the info. I didn't even notice them :o
-
Wow, I have been so busy the last week, I did not notice this thread ;D
Now I know it is here it is bookmarked.
The pool posts dates/times in Unix time stamp which is in UTC.
I can put a clock in the dashboard, I will get to it as time allows.
Thank you everybody for your support. The Goldcoin pool by far has been my most successful pool !
I want to eventually move the pool to PPS, however trying to convert a current pool (database) has been less then successful, hence the closing of the JKC pool until I can debug what happened. :-\
There may not be as much trouble if I open a separate PPS pool with a fresh database.Which means registering separately on the PPS pool and using different mining ports.
I would like a little feed back on how many would use the PPS pool.
-
gld.cryptocoinmine.com (http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com) has lowered the payout confirm count to 10.
This means coins will be credited to the miners account when a block has 10 confirms instead of 120.
I am doing this as part of the general preparation to start the PPS pool. I have purchased enough reserve to run the PPS pool and lower the confirm rate on the proportional pool.
Enjoy the quicker rewards. I hope to see everybody take advantage of the PPS pool once it is up and running. ;)

THE GOLDCOIN CRYPTOCOIN MINE PPS POOL IS OPEN FOR LIVE TESTING.
URL: gldpps.cryptocoinmine.com (http://gldpps.cryptocoinmine.com)
PORT: 6565 Stratum
PORT: LP will come online when the proportional pool is closed.
I will close the proportional pool once the majority of miners have switched over to the PPS pool.
PPS (Pay Per Share) payout systems are based on difficulty and block reward. Miners are not in contention to get shares of a found block. Every valid share is paid the same rate no matter how long it takes to find a block. The number of miners in the pool or pool hash rate does not effect payout.
This type of system puts all the risk in the pool operators hands. Miners get paid the PPS rate regardless of luck or orphans.
The PPS rate formula:
(Block reward - pool fee) / difficulty
For the first week or two, I will not be charging a pool fee to encourage miners to get switched over. After that time the pool fee will be 2.5%. The higher fee is due to the much higher risk on my part, and in terms of other PPS pools is a low-average fee.
-
Mapuo on the bitcoin forum caught that the cron job for PPS was not crediting properly.
Thank you for catching that .
It appears I missed a hard coded variable buried in the cron job. The config file has a item for the current block reward, so it is strange there would be a hard coded number (not even a variable) in the cron jobs for block reward :o ???
I have sent everybody that has mined in the PPS pool (that put in a payout address), 15x what their balance was. The block reward value of 50 was hard coded in the PPS cronjob and I have since changed it to the proper value of 500.
The extra 5x payment is a bonus for the trouble. I also have left the balances where they are in effect paying at a 16x rate.
I need account#4 to put a payout address in so I can send you your coin.
-
I can't wait for PPS but with LP as for some reason only Reaper works for me :(
-
I can't wait for PPS but with LP as for some reason only Reaper works for me :(
I just moved the JKC pool to a different VPS, so I am comfortable resource wise, to set up a LP on the Goldcoin PPS pool ahead of time.
I must admit though I am surprised by the lack of enthusiasm for the PPS pool, especially from smaller miners, as it really benefits them the most.
-
Just wanted to give the Goldcoin community a little preview of some of the changes planned for CCE.
It is looking more and more like a complete rewrite of ABE, probably so much so it will not be ABE anymore.
For coin developers, you will have API access to a large information box on your coins homepage on CCE.
One corner of the box would display the current client/daemon version number. Across the top line, you could activate a red headline for news needed immediate attention.
As it stands now the Home Page starts with the coin symbol and name as the headline. The network hash rate goes below it. The basic information on the last five blocks is next. Then two boxes of information about the coin. The basic side would have web links and the Tech. side would have ports,trusted nodes, address version etc.

I have been mining all day with a 7870 on gld.cryptocoinmine.com, but my balance is still zero (0 GLD).
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:6060 -u Stouse49.1 -p x -I 12 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 8000 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1075 --gpu-memclock 1500 --lookup-gap 2 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --no-submit-stale -s 1
Does anyone else have this problem? Because of this I switched to the VirCulPool (where I only got 98% profitability against BTC and 83% against LTC). These results are not that good either.
-
I have been mining all day with a 7870 on gld.cryptocoinmine.com, but my balance is still zero (0 GLD).
I am now getting some GLD in my account (but only 2 GLD after 8 hours of 350 khash/s), after I stopped mining. This must be due to the PPLNS. I will check my profitability and switch to the PPS server.
-
I started Mining on the PPS pool (http://gldpps.cryptocoinmine.com/ (http://gldpps.cryptocoinmine.com/)) with great success. But then it was shut down today:
Due to lack of interest, I am shutting down the GoldCoin PPS pool
All balances have been paid out
I did get all my balances.
And the main site (http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com/index.php (http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com/index.php)) says:
Due to a general lack of interest in CCM pools, All of them have been shut down except this one
I will be shutting down this pool later tonight and I will start paying any remaining balances immediately afterwards.
I was using these sites because the other pool VirCulPool has too much hashrate. The CCM sites only had 4 people mining in each pool, perhaps not enough people to justify running the servers.
-
I also just found out about this and find it disappointing :(
-
One person is running 31,380 KH/s on VirCur and someone had more than that yesterday when I was there.
I didn't even notice the PPS Pool http://gldpps.cryptocoinmine.com/ my bad.
-
If we could find someone within the community to manage it I am willing to buy the pool.
-
But why is dreamwatcher shutting down all GLD pools so suddenly and fast?
-
Dreamwatcher just posted here that he'll keep the pool open it there's enough community interest.

yes we all need to use his pools.

This is the plan :)
I am going to shut down the proportional pool. There are other proportional pools out there and I would rather maintain one pool from each coin,as I add coins to the mine. After I finish the proportional pool final payouts, I will start working on the PPS pool.
I have a bug-fix I made for a seemingly random share counting bug. The pool software developers deny it exists, but tell that to the miners whose accounts got bitten by it. Unfortunately the fix might make the pool more vulnerable to the double manual payout bug that exists in all mmcFE based pools (unless fixed of course).
This means that I will not have manual payouts available on the pool. However I will increase the choice range of auto-payout to 1-1000. One can simulate a manual payout by simply lowering the threshold below the balance. Payout will occur in the next update cycle.
Cron timers are gone, instead updates and payouts trip when a new block comes on the network.
I believe the bug is happening when the cron update and a block is solved at almost the same time. I believe the share counting cron is setting its cut-off point and miners turning in valid shares at the exact wrong time, are getting shares orphaned behind the cut-off. Somehow this starts to effect all the shares the user turns in afterwards.
This was a RARE occurrence, but a pain in the arse when it happened. Expensive for me because I tend to send a inconvenience bonus out with payment to the miners bitten by this bug.
By basing the updates on when a new block comes on the network, and placing a small delay to the start up of the update jobs, gives miners a window to get their shares in before the cut-off.
Then I want to do a general clean-up of the server. I will then reset the PPS pool, and it will be up and running.
Sorry, re-registering will be required as I will update the pool software to the latest and I find to avoid problems, it is just easier to start with a clean database.
So after the proportional shuts down, the PPS pool should be back up in a couple of hours (maybe sooner). :D
-
When you have the PPS up and running I'll use it.
-
OK,
6 PM (CDT) today I will shut the proportional pool down, get final payouts done, clean up the server and get the PPS Pool back up again.
Time compare: It is 3:40 CDT now.
-
Online! :)
-
Get on this everyone!!!

The GoldCoin CryptoCoin Mine (http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com) is now open.
Pool profits help fund CryptoCoin Explorer (http://www.cryptocoinexplorer.com).
All pool donations will be given to the GoldCoin development fund.
For the first week there is a 25 GLD block finder bonus!! :)
PPS (Pay-per-Share)
2.5% Fee
You will need to register and an E-mail address is required. I do not use the e-mail addresses unless I need to contact you and for verification. It is the easiest way to verify I am in contact with the account holder.
On the subject of E-mail, the e-mail notification is not active yet. I need to see what my options are in terms of an SMTP relay. Setting up and using a local SMTP server, normally leads to bounced back e-mails due to white-listing and ISP spam protection.
Please enter a payout address and threshold. As a pool operator I am responsible for your coins that are in the pools wallets. If the hot wallet is lost/stolen, I have to replace it out of my own pocket. If I put too many coins in cold storage and a high balance miner decides to cash out, the hot wallet balance would be low or empty. This affects other miners that might want payout until I can refresh the wallet.
Manual payout is disabled in order to safeguard against a double withdrawal issue. Though this bug has been patched, I am running the update jobs in a new manor to solve a RARE share counting issue that pops up time to time. To simulate a manual payout, simply lower your auto-payout threshold below your balance. Your account will cash out in the next cycle.
Statistics are refreshed every minute. Share counting, payouts etc, are run every time a new block comes on the network.
I will be handling transferring donation amounts manually until I can add the little bit of code it will take to automate it and make it completely transparent .Within the next couple of days.
Stratum and LP ports
Stratum: 2020
LP: 2339
URL Stratum: stratum+tcp://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2020 (http://stratum+tcp://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2020)
URL LP: http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2339 (http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2339)
Pay-Per-Share:
The PPS reward system benefits miners small and large. Instead of competing for a percentage of the shares needed to solve a block, all shares are paid at a rate calculated with block reward and difficulty.
500 / (pow(2,32) * network difficulty) * pow(2,pool difficulty)
For simplicity the pool fee (2.5%) is deducted when then coins are credited to your account.
Mathematical breakdown of the PPS Formula:
500 / (pow(2,32) * network difficulty) * pow(2,pool difficulty)
The expression pow(2,32) always equals (4294967296)
Current Network difficulty is 2.0858
So the first half:
4294967296 * 2.0858 = 8958442789
500 / 8958442789 ~ .00000000558132715
That is the rate for the absolute lowest difficulty that can exist.
Pools and mining software do not operate with that low of a share difficulty. The network traffic would be unbelievable along with the overhead on both ends of trying to process that many shares.
The pool difficulty is set at 21 bits (or around difficulty 32 in Cgminer terms)
The expression pow(2,21)= 2097152
.00000000558132715 * 2097152 = 0.0117048913952768
This is the current PPS rate.
-
This PPS pool works very well. Last night I solved 4 blocks, which resulted in 100 more GLD for me!
-
The automated donation system is functionally in place.
All donations go into a miner account that is set at a 500 GLD auto payout threshold. I have manually sent out the donations that occurred before I put the auto deposit in place and zeroed the donation amounts on the board.
This pools developer fund donation address is:
E2CCdrwZGcdav2paJ2DwvoEPg96zY71epr (http://gld.cryptocoinexplorer.com/address/E2CCdrwZGcdav2paJ2DwvoEPg96zY71epr)
The manual send was 734 GLD: Transaction: 58ad5044975d6e202c0daf9fdcf1c626a836d67abf02af0dc73711fbc537f08e
I will implement a display of the Donation account transactions today or tomorrow barring any technical code barriers.
-
dreamwatcher,
I was just testing the ScryptMiner GUI and I was thinking you should put a download link for it on the Pool. I think it would be a great help for new people that might want to know how mining works. It's something that is very easy to use.
-
GoldCoin Pool Donation to Goldcoin Developer Fund system is now complete!
Display of the Donation account transactions is under: About - Donations Transactions
-
This is great news:) Thanks for supporting the development of GoldCoin dreamwatcher.
On another note, is there an issue with LP on the pool? I havent been able to connect for a while.
-
Yes, it looks like LP has crashed for the second time in a couple of days. This is a strange occurrence because normally Pushpool is quite stable.
It looks like it crashed at, Date: Mon, 01 Jul 2013 04:11:39 +0000, as that was the last update in its screen.
I will force its shutdown and restart it. I would suggest anybody using the LP have a back up pool/solo set up until I can trace down the cause of this issue. I will need to dig through logs so it might be a few days before I trace it down. I will set one of my rigs to use LP so I can keep an eye on it better until then.
-
Thanks for the update dreamwatcher :)
-
I regret to inform everybody:
Due to large losses, I cannot run as a PPS pool anymore.
STARTING 7/15 this pool will change over to Proportional with a 1.5% fee
Unfortunately it looks like I have lost about 120K GLD since the PPS mine opened.
The amount of miners and hash rate is just too low to support a PPS pool. :(
I will reconsider changing back to PPS when Goldcoin has grown enough to support a PPS pool.
Nobody will need to do anything, I will just switch the payout method to Proportional and it will be transparent. No need to re-register, the balances in your accounts will remain.
There will be 5 confirms to payout, just to ensure pay out does not occur on a orphan block.
-
Honestly, I don't even know the difference. All I know is I mine at gld.cryptocoinmine.com. I can't even remember what I pointed the 2 miners I have to.
In my opinion, you need to be making some money. Make it 2% or more if that's what it takes you to keep up some pool.
How did you lose gold? That seems odd to me.
Also, I think there will be renewed interest once the client is done, the coin details announced and then the community can focus on getting the word out. Truth be told, I'm not telling too many people about it until the client is done. Then I'll push it and advertise.
Just stay open for us man. I don't even know what pps is. I know I use your pool though.
-
Where'd everybody go? I don't see anyone on gld.cryptocoinmine.com anymore?
-
It's just the pps pool right? The main one is going to stay functional? Guess I'll find out. :)
-
Where'd everybody go? I don't see anyone on gld.cryptocoinmine.com anymore?
I'm having issues connecting to: http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2339
-
Im not having any issue connecting to CCM, all good here.
-
I use this in cgminer:
./cgminer --scrypt --thread-concurrency 8192 --worksize 256 -g 2 -I 13 --shaders 2048 --gpu-engine 1075 --gpu-memclock 1500 --auto-fan --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 86 -o stratum+tcp://gld.cryptocoinmine.com:2020 -u tadspoles.1 -p x
-
CCM?
-
I'm the only one showing up on gld.cryptocoinmine.com.
I think dreamwatcher's dramatic announcements are scaring people off his pool--WHICH HAS WORKED GREAT FOR ME!
Maybe he should just say, "Hey guys...slight change....etc, etc.
Then again maybe I'm just being foolish.
-
I don't know why but get work port 2339 isn't working. I've been trying to connect for awhile. Today is the first time I've had trouble with it.
Note: I just tried VirCurPool and I can't mine there either. Don't know if something happened on my end or what. But I can't find any problems.
-
My miner is down now also, i can';t mine using startum unless i use a proxy and thats a pain in the ass
-
Have you tried mining_proxy? It always works for me.
-
The Goldcoin pool has been switched over to proportional. All your account information has been transferred. Account balances have been manually switched over from the PPS pool and will show up as 'Credit_PPS' in your account transactions.
The Stratum and LP back ends were up and down for a bit as I switched them over to the new pool.
I am running a rig on each now and they both seem to be running. :)
-
As for the Long poll port:
It seems to freeze up every few days, almost at random.
I have changed the way I mine, so I may not catch it immediately.
I only mine from 9pm to 9am and weekends (CDT). With special exceptions of course, like today testing the pool switch over.
I get a much better electrical rate going to time-of-day rates. The rate is less then half during the off-peak hours and weekends over the straight rate plan.
On peak rates are much too high to be profitable for mining, but mining during the off-peak hours in theory should more than make up to for it.
Maybe I can set a cpu on one of the rigs to mine on the LP port all the time so I can catch when it goes down faster.
-
I started mining a couple of hours ago. Thanks
-
It seems the hashrate display is off. My cards show they are hashing at the normal rate but the website is displaying a much lower number. Maybe it's just me. I didn't restart them.
-
You are correct, the hash rates are off. I have been trying different things behind the scenes to correct them
Be aware that all the statistics are display only and have nothing to do with payout calculations or anything of similar importance.
There was a snag in the beginning where the block calculations where not being called right and when I corrected it, a rush of blocks were calculated. This may be throwing off the hash rate calculations.
I did change the statistics calculation to every 30 seconds and it improved it a little. Payout calculations are still done every time a new block comes on the network, weather solved by the pool or not. Though one will only see a change in balance when the pool solves a block because of the way proportional works.
For now I am going to wait a day and see if the numbers stabilize. The front end pool software on its longest calculation uses 24 hrs of blocks.
Just to be clear: The hash rates and other display data does NOT effect the actual payout calculations. They are completely different routines.
-
Thank you sir. You are and continue to be...the man.
-
Goldcoin pool is temporary shut down
Over the last couple of days, I have been receiving more and more complaints about shares not being paid. I am shutting down the mining portion of the pool, but the website will remain up for people to withdrawal coins on account.
I am going to move the pool to a different server and again update the front end to the latest version before reopening for mining.
-
My biggest complaint is that I keep having to switch my miners to different pools when you change. Don't let the haters push you around man. We like your pool.
Everything seemed on the up and up to me.
-
It is not a matter of "haters", but of people genuinely not getting their shares counted.
There was an attempt to hack the pool. The last 100 or so registrations had user names that were SQL injection strings.
I have paid out everybody that had payout addresses entered into the pool.
-
I have 16 users that did not leave a payout address, so I will be emailing them for an address to send coins to.
I am kind of disappointed to see the network hash rate drop so much when my pool shut down yesterday.
I am in the works of setting up a new pool on a new server. This will have the most recent version of pool software, which has some pretty nice features.
I am setting up on a VPS I have hardly used, but kept because I get such a good deal on it. This will allow me to shut down the VPS cryptocoinmine was on, which was rather expensive.
Re-registering will be necessary because of the SQL attacks. E-mail verification upon registration will also be turned on. :(
Sorry about this, but it will stop or at least greatly slow down any future attacks.
The pool should be up sometime this weekend.

This is great news! Thank you DreamWatcher. (;D)
-
thank you dreamwatcher for running the pool and i was one of the 16 without address, and i have put in my address and got my coins. We need to get some hashing power online the main pool went down right at the same time some clown on bitcointalk is threatening to 51% the coin.
-
Is there a way to sanitize the inputs before committing them to the database? Also possibly use a captcha.
If it's php, then pdo is the best way to go now using parameterized SQL and bound variables.
I believe sanitization with mysql_real_escape_string() can still be used even if you are using pdo and bound variables.
-
The Old/New Goldcoin CryptoCoin Mine is now open.
Re-registering with e-mail confirmation is required.
The extra security is due to the attempted SQL injection attack on the last pool.
The LP port has been changed to 3333 that stratum port remains 2020.
Tadpoles,
The SQL injections did not get anywhere as I believe the pool software protects against an actual SQL attack. However, it did cause over a hundred garbage accounts to be made.
-
This is awesome news Dreamwatcher.
-
Sounds good. I'm glad you got it working in a manner you're comfortable with.
I'm going to wait until I see how you handle future problems. I certainly liked your pool. The stability was nice but closing it right in the middle of a major goldcoin milestone for the reasons you gave makes me believe you either do not have goldcoin's best interest in mind or quite frankly you're just young and naive. Perception is a very important thing. It's quite possible that you turned off a lot of new miners because of that business. I KNOW you aggravated the ones that were using your service. My boxes were wasting electricity and half a days profits because you don't like to warn anyone a day in advance.
You did expose a problem with GoldCoin though. We need more pool options.
Hey Zuck, find a host you like even if it's a bit expensive and I'll help you pay for it if others will chip in some too.
I'm thinking we also need to work on getting p2pool software updated with GoldCoin. I may be misunderstanding how this works but I used to start up my own p2pool software, connect to it locally, it would connect to others or a central one--not sure, and I'd mine away with litecoin, feathercoin, chncoin and a few others.
https://github.com/skralg/p2pool-feathercoin as an example.

im with you on this too,we can make this happen as a community.
-
You cannot be serious...Really?
So I just should have kept the pool running among greater levels of miners claiming (rightly so) that their shares were not being counted? Maybe a dishonest pool operator would do such a thing, or one who "do not have goldcoin's best interest in mind", but not myself. I run an honest business and I do mean business in both the legal and operational terms. Many other operators would have shrugged their shoulders, kept the pool running and collected the extra GLD that was not assigned properly to the miners.
As for being "young and naive", I am over forty, worked as an electrical engineer and recently completed my second degree in network specialization. My business has be registered and running since 2006.
All miners should have a fail safe pool in their configuration because pools can go down due to a number of reasons.
I literally worked day and night to get the new pool up, put my main project aside (CCE) at a vital time in testing, to make sure the Goldcoin community had this pool up and running.
So thanks for the validation that my work and honesty is appreciated, it will definitely go into my decision making about Goldcoin in the future.

I assume you're being sarcastic. If you don't want to run a pool--don't. I'm not begging you. Goldcoin will move on with or without you. You're making money.
Give some heads up. Most everyone would have appreciated it even if they were losing shares ESPECIALLY given the timing.
Your timing was horrible and a major setback in my opinion. I'll see how you handle that in the future. If you can't see or understand this then I definitely won't be returning to your pool. I don't care if you're 80 and have a degree in rocket brain surgical engineering.
Once again, no one's begging you to maintain a pool. As a matter of fact this PISSES me off the more I think about it. Do you think we're supposed to beg you or something? Hell I'll go to solo mining at this point.
So thanks for the validation that my work and honesty is appreciated, it will definitely go into my decision making about Goldcoin in the future.
THIS IS JUST CHILDISH and PISSES ME OFF. You're holding no damn sway here man. No one is begging you to make a damn profit. Don't make threats like this to this community. That's what this is a THREAT.
-
I say you close down your pool and blame it on me for making negative comments about your decisions. Go all out with the childishness.
This way at least the community can move on quicker creating another pool with someone at the helm that doesn't make threats, pulls up his big boy pants and takes criticism on the chin like a man.
-
If you wish to see it as a "threat" so be it. There is nothing I can do to change your mind about it.
I never begged anybody to use my pool, and if a large enough group of users tell me of their dislike for my pool or simply stop mining on the pool, then yes it will be shut down. No point in running a pool with no miners.
As for my last statement, I stand by it. Insults (not criticisms, criticisms do not involve calling somebody 'young and naive') to the work I have done in an effort to protect miners from a bug that would cause them to get ripped off, are of course going to effect my view on future projects. Why wouldn't I take all criticisms, insults, statements that have been given when making a decision. Why would one continue to put forth effort into something if their efforts are not appreciated by those that could benefit from them. I am not talking about praise or complements, I do not expect those, but to have ones extra effort shot down definitely makes one pause about putting in extra effort in the future. That is not a threat, but a fact of life.
But yes, I am the child here, and as such miners should vote with their hashs. If you agree with what has been said about me, by all means start mining at one of the other Goldcoin pools. At the point cryptocoin mine has no more miners, then the miners have spoken and I will shutdown the pool and never bother the Goldcoin community again.
-
I like your pool. I found it to be the best personally. I still would like to go back to it.
I just want you to acknowledge the timing was awful, show some remorse for what happened and in the future take extra efforts to not close your pool during major GoldCoin milestones and attention.
I certainly admit my comments were too harsh and I definitely appreciate your work. As I said, your pool is definitely the most solid and trustworthy imo.
-
maybe im late here on what happened, and personally dont care whats going on. im really happy that you have your pool up and running for us to mine on. no problems here! I definitely appreciate having the privilege to mine on it and appreciate your works put into this to help make our coin progress. and i feel we all should be more thankful for each one of us thats here. ( I"ll be the parent) if we dont have nice things to say to each other... lets not say them at all .... mmm k? lol . no seriously lets be professional and fun about this guys. i'm having fun aint you... how bout you?? see, thats better. :D great work dreamwatcher, keep it up. everything has its bumps to smooth out.
over and out! ...kkhert.. ;D
-
That's all fine and dandy but the bottom line is Dreamwatcher just doesn't seem to care when his pool goes down. There are critical points in a coin's development and our best pool went down during the middle of a critical time and stayed down for days.
Either Dreamwatcher's ego is too large to apologize for it or he simply does not have GoldCoin's best interest in mind. I haven't seen anything from him in the way of contrition.
So, we're in a position where we have this pool we all like but once interest starts pouring in, it can be taken down for days and the guy running it really doesn't seem to care about this coin--it's just another coin to him. When you lose critical days of peaking interest it is detrimental.
I would love to see Zuck start his pool as I feel he truly is interested in GoldCoin. However, he likely is worried about chin music if something goes wrong. There is a difference though when someone is sincerely contrite.
As it stands, what is the point of promoting GoldCoin, having it succeed for a day and then having the rug pulled from under our feet? Pools that stay up during critical moments are almost as important as a solid client in my opinion.
-
Without genuine contrition, it's just hard for me to not see it happening again. Hell, without genuine contrition, it makes me think maybe it was done on purpose. The timing was VERY suspicious and I'm just not getting a warm and fuzzy about it or from this guy at all.
Also, if we're begging some God in the sky to pretty, pretty please keep your pool open then we really don't have anything solid here. It's like building a house on quicksand.
-
I'm done commenting on this thread though.
Hopefully things will work out in the future and during critical moments we won't be screwed. If we are, here's hoping it's an accidental screwing.
-
I play hermit for a couple of days and now I am the bad guy.
I have not read messages or emails (unless they are PMs about trouble in the pool) the last couple of days to get caught up with the time lost on the CCE rewrite project while fixing the pool this weekend.
I cannot control when software bugs show up, especially on software that I do not develop. Was the timing unfortunate? Yes. Did I have any control over it? No.
I have nothing to give contrition for. If protecting miners from getting being short-changed on coins they have mined is not having having Goldcoins best interest at heart, so be it. I would make the same decision again.
It is up to the miners to set a fail-over pool in their mining config. Any pool can go down at any time and I am most definitely not the only game in town, nor would I want to be.
I do no see myself or the pool as anything special to Goldcoin and miners are free to choose whoever or however they want to mine.
I fail to understand all the vitriol pointed at me by tadspoles, but so be it. He is entitled to his opinion,thoughts and the expression thereof.
-
Sorry for the vitriol. I don't think anyone should leave your pool. I'll come back to you later in the week papa. I love ya. You hear that you so and so. :)
See your pool is a durka durk man and during peak interest I just want you to try really hard to listen to this man.

well i see crytocoinmine is getting more donors, this is good cuz hopefully it encourages dream to keep it up for us. his low fee of 1.5% is pretty generous for only having two reliable pools in town. vircurpool is what i started on so being loyal to my pool i devote most my output towards that pool. although i do mine on his pool with my lower resources. i feel the 3% fee on vircurpool is fair but no more cuz im such a small miner ,and so with the 1.5 % i added 1.5% donation = 3% to cryptocoinmine. and that being said, i encourage others to at least donate something and help support our team.
thank you

I have activated the pools' API.
Under 'about' is a link to information on how to use the API.
-
DUE TO A CONFLICT I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE LP PORT TO 2222.
Stratum port remains the same.
-
In light of the continuing problems with the Long Poll back end, I searched for a more up to date Push Pool capable of handling the coins in the two pools I still run LP on. I have found one whose last update was a couple of months ago. It is running on the pool now.
Fingers Crossed.
-
I have purchased and added: http://goldcoinmine.net (http://goldcoinmine.net) and http://www.goldcoinmine.net (http://www.goldcoinmine.net) to the pool.
The old domain name is still in effect and users do not have to change anything.
I added the domain name as it is easier to remember and I have moved away from the Cryptocoinmine theme for now.
Goldcoin is the only pool I run that uses (and will continue to be a valid address) under Cryptocoinmine.com.
If you decide to start using the domain after using the cryptocoinmine.com domain, you may have to clear the cookie for the page or just wait for it to expire.
-
This morning there was a couple of hours where the coin daemon lost all its peers and was stuck on a block.
I had to shut everything down and eventually I had the Goldcoin daemon rebuild its database from scratch with a new peer file.
Statistics will be off for a bit, and will probably need 24 hours to stabilize. This does not effect payouts or share counting.
-
I want to apologize for the Downtime on the pool today. I awoke this morning to 3 of my VPS being down and unreachable. The pool went down twice, the second time due to some miscommunication with the VPS provider.
The issues were all on the VPS end, however I now have a direct contact with them so in the future I will not have to wait for support tickets to be answered.
-
Im just curious as to why the the website keeps going down? It would be nice if dreamwatcher could put up a quick post like "down for maintenance...be back in 10," just so we aren't left hanging and wondering what the issues could be?
-
I have been privately testing the pool and it is now starting to get accepted blocks. Once the acceptance rate is a little higher I will reopen the pool.
Once reopened, all the accounts are fresh with a zero balance.
ALL BALANCES ON THE OLD POOL WILL BE PAYED OUT IN A DAY OR TWO. I TOOK QUITE A HIT FROM THE INVALID BLOCKS,IT IS HARD TO SAY HOW MUCH BUT IT IS OVER 11K
I HAVE DECIDED TO PAYOUT FOR ALL THAT IS OWED AND NOT PENALIZE THE MINERS FOR THE INVALID BLOCKS
See more annoucements at: gld.cryptocoinmine.com (http://gld.cryptocoinmine.com)

I must be doing something wrong. Can't get my worker active. I followed every step from the "Getting Started"-Tutorial.
I'm using an iMac.
-
I can't stand cgminer and stratum pools. Anybody know of a getwork mining pool so i can use reaper.
-
Mining has again been temporarily suspended.
Since a little over 5 hours ago, every block found by the pool has been rejected by the daemon.
I am also suspending payouts in case the pool is on a forked chain.
More information to follow.

Where all my shares when, I got over 8000 shares and only shows 1 gld confirm? as this morning 0700hrs to1600hrs.

I think you should read Akumaburn reaction. About what is going on with pools.

It is after much thought that I have come to this decision. I have no ill will or harbor any bad feelings towards the Goldcoin community.
The development of this coin has become incompatible with the way I see things and how a pool/coin should behave.
There are other Goldcoin pools and I recommended giving them your hash rates.
I have set the auto-payout to 1 so most of you should be/have gotten your balances, unless you do not have a payout address entered. The remaining balances will be paid out by hand as I send e-mails to get the addresses to send

Clearly the new code makes it more difficult for pool operators.

And for us miners :/ ever block for the past 4 hours as been orphaned. Due to this new "security measure"..
-
See...its [beep] like that I don't like. If you don't like the god damn coin or the "security measure", get the [beep] out. That's what's pissing me off. This works both ways.
Personally, I don't give a damn how many of the opportunistic miners or pool operators making derogatory statements leave. If you want to work with the developer that's different. If your goal is to sit here and complain and make derogatory statements then [beep]ING LEAVE.

Woah, no need to get angry with me. I'm just disappointed about this, I am not complaining. I would love to work with the developers to solve this, who said i didn't? sorry if i came off as [beep]y, it wasn't intended. Happy mining :D!
-
Then again, I in no way represent GoldCoin. I just simply don't like you [beep]s that complain and don't seem to want to work with the developer and I'll probably get booted for saying that with such strong language. To me, the [beep] you guys say is insulting.

Look, i don't understand why such prejudice statements are made. If you would like to discuss this further please just PM me, I don't want to attract attention and this isn't relevant to the thread.

Seriously PM akumaburn or ask for hints directly from him. He is the absolute authority. I'm just some knucklehead that hasn't been booted yet by some miracle.
