Any idea when the update is completed ? 1h? 2h?
The update is complete but the automatic ddos prevention from our hoster was triggered during the update. Port 8080 and 8081 are blocked, 10034 is still open. At this very moment we are calling our hoster to unblock the ports, not sure how long it will take however.

Edit: All ports are available for mining again.

Yes as bytemaster already said, please update your miners.

You can get my updated version of the miner here (its the same link as in the How To)
I know there are already many people that use yvg1900's optimized version. I have informed him of the bugfix, he will upload a new version soon.

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
There is no evil intention, just a lack of time on my side.

BitShares PTS / Re: Confirmation time, is this normal?
« on: November 17, 2013, 07:41:51 pm »
PTS generally has a slow confirmation time.

But yes, ypool is probably the cause for the massive delays. A while ago I noticed a bug in my code that caused blocks that have many transactions get declined by the network, as a hotfix I simply disabled that mempool transactions are added to the blocks mined by ypool. Since then I didn't have a single second to implement the correct fix. As you all are likely aware, ypool has been pestered by various attacks, hardware problems and annoying providers. Now that it all has calmed down I finally have some time to implement the fix.

Be aware that transaction confirmation works as always, it's just the accept to block phase that is delayed. No reason for panic.

If we didn't add a PTS address to the account, does that mean we can't withdraw until new website is setup - when will that happen.
Yes there are no payouts if you haven't already set an address earlier.

I can't really give any time estimate when the website will be back up. But you can expect at least another 10-16 hours. As always I'll post status updates as they arise in this thread and on Twitter.

22
Also, payout processing has already started. Since this is only a temporary solution there is no website, so while your balance/unconfirmed is updated there is no way to access your account stats or options.

Is that for ALL balances, or just those over the 5 PTS?
For now only the ones above 5 PTS. Later I might go a bit lower and set it to 2. But anything below would just waste too much PTS for transaction fees.

Oh and btw. PTS fee is now 3%.

Mining is back online. Although it looks like the mining ports 8080 and 10034 are now blocked by our hoster or some higher instance, probably due to massive ddos-like traffic.
For now we have opened port 8081 as an alternative for PTS/XPM mining.
When using jhProtominer you can use -o ypool.net:8081 to connect to the pool. If you are using jhPrimeminer there is a chance that the parameters -o ypool.net:8081 -xpt will work (it depends on version of miner).

Also, payout processing has already started. Since this is only a temporary solution there is no website, so while your balance/unconfirmed is updated there is no way to access your account stats or options.

The next steps will be to setup our new server. For this we have partnered up with a local datacenter that is specialized in hosting performance-critical high-traffic services. We'll keep you updated.

BitShares PTS / Re: What is ProtoShares?
« on: November 14, 2013, 07:41:06 pm »
I certainly am not in on it!    This is one of the arguments for the use of ASICs.   It is impossible to create an Open Source, CPU coin, that is not subject to botnets.

Why do you say impossible?

Surely we can find a way.
Its impossible because it means there must be centralized instance controlling who is allowed to mine and who is not. That is exactly the opposite of what a opensource cryptocoin should be designed for. CPU coins will always be a target of botnets.

Just pay our PTS (even if we are below the auto-payout) this will make us more quiet

while that would be great I doubt its possible, but if it is possible

+1 on sending payouts to keep us coming back
It should be possible but I rather focus on getting the service back up for the moment. I'll see if I can do the payouts later.

Edit:
Also I am currently on IRC. Join #ypool on freenode.net

From the current perspective it doesn't look like ypool will be back anytime soon. We are experiencing some technical difficulties that will likely force us to switch to a different machine, maybe even a different provider. If thats the case it will take at least a day until everything is up and running again. The good news is that no data was lost.
I recommend switching to a different pool for the meantime. I'll keep you updated as we go. I might also setup a IRC channel later.

Follow our twitter for updates:

Due to the extremely high count of connected workers (over 45000 right now) I have increased the difficulty to find a share by a factor of 4. Everyone will get less shares but the payout should stay about the same.

28
My payout threshold set to 2pts... my balance has shown > 2pts for a few hours and no payout yet. Anyone else experiencing problems with payouts?
There are currently a lot of payouts queued because many people earn more than 2 PTS every hour and yet they have set the payout limit to only 2. The server is limiting the number of payouts per minute to 5 to not clutter the blockchain and slow down the network. I recommend everyone to set the payout limit to something higher (ideally 10 or above), this will give you higher priority for payout and also will cause faster payouts overall.

Pool should be back in a few minutes.

Hey,

I am getting 

Connected to server using x.pushthrough(xpt) protocol
xpt: Logged in with user.password
The miner is configured to use a different algorithm
Make sure your miner login details are correct
At the top of the page there is a button where you can select the coin that you want to mine on ypool (it should be on Primecoin per default) Set it to Protoshares, then create a new worker and try again.
