[ANN] ypool.net - Fast PTS pool

[mmx888]

Sorry for the downtime. There was a ddos attack a few days ago which forced us to migrate to new software/hardware immediately to withstand the attack, it worked but the downside is that the service is a bit unstable now. Yesterday I found a very critical bug that probably has caused a majority of the crashes. Since it was fixed there has not been a single second of downtime caused by our own software. The recent 5 hour downtime was due to a hard disk failure, which is just bad luck and it was also the only time since the launch of our pool where the pool server for mining was down and not only the fronted.

Again I am sorry for the inconvenience.

The good news is that we have ~5000 workers connected and find a block every 6 minutes, not bad for a pool that is up for only 18 hours.

HI,jh00
how to set 1024 megabytes of memory per thread?
pls help me
THX.

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.

I began mining yesterday evening. I made 1 PTS the first couple of hours.

4 AM => 1,80 + PTS
11h30 AM => 1.93666266 PTS and 0.37698304 unconfirmed

So basically in 7h30 hours I won less PTS than in an hour 15h ago. Is it me or is there something very wrong here ?

I feel ya.  I was finding a share with my machine about every couple mins or less.  now running for past 2 hours I've only found 15 shares.  seems really slow now

EDIT: however with yPool getting nearly 90% of all blocks we kinda havta be in his to guarantee some PTS

I noticed the huge drop as well. Must be something to do with the 50,000 workers and the low difficulty level. After I did the math I'm actually making more now than before. The pool is finding 190 blocks/hour!

I am getting this error on one of my cloud machines. Any ideas?

any chance to get get servers reconnect when connection is lost? Must to work and can't have a look the hole time.. Tipps appreciated...
any workaround?

Thx

This works for linux builds. 

cd jhProtominer/src/jhProtominer
perl -pe 's/Sleep\(45000\);/exit\(1\);/g' main.cpp | perl -pe 's/45 seconds/8 seconds/g' > m ; mv m main.cpp ; make CFLAGS="-O3"
echo "while true; do ./jhProtominer -o ypool.net -u m0rph3us0xF.m0rph3us0xF.1 -p 12345 -m512 -t 8; sleep 8; done" > jhminer.sh ; chmod +x jhminer.sh
./jhminer.sh

don't need to do this now. I fixed the Sleep bug earlier

So it is fixed in your current git code?

yeah, do git pull on linux-port branch works well

Excellent, thanks for the info!

This miner does not stop its current work on new block notification? How does ypool server handle stale shares?
