Title: The YPool miner doesn't accept transactions?
Post by: skaffen on November 18, 2013, 09:57:01 am
As far as I understand, from below, the ypool miner isn't confirming any transactions.  Their blocks always have only 1 transaction! That's pretty harmful to the network, isn't it?  Are there any ways to counter this anti-social behaviour?

Ypool appears to have adopted a policy of including a maximum of one transaction per block, which appears to be slowing down transaction confirmations on the network.  Compare the ypool stats page to the list of 1-transaction blocks on

http://btsblock.com/chain/ProtoShares

Several people have noticed that transactions are getting held up with 0 confirmations (with or without transactions fees) as numerous blocks roll by until a different pool finds a block, at which a bunch of transactions finally get their first confirmation.

This seems harmful to the network as a whole.
See my post here (http://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=740.msg8222#msg8222)
There is no evil intention, just a lack of time on my side.

Seems like he's getting his miners to upgrade with a new version.

Hope this fixes it.

I found another pool which produces blocks and doesn't accept transactions, it's http://54.238.185.113 (pts.rpool.net)

Pool owner, please fix it ASAP, probably your miners use old ypool miner which has this problem.

You can look for a blocks produced by your pool http://54.238.185.113/blocks and compare to information from block explorer http://ptsexplorer.cloudapp.net/chain/BitShares-PTS

We have one more pool which does the same.
