An "Account Statement" Tab has been added to miner dashboards, providing insight into each and every change to your balance. Be advised that those information are only available for the most recently found blocks and all future blocks.

Hi, is poolmining.org planning on adding Electroneum to its pools? There are only a few good pools out there and the demand for mining has been increasing rapidly since last month.

Thanks

Looks like the Dash page is down. Doesn't appear to be affecting mining but can't check pool activity or balances.

Yesterday morning at around 08:00 GMT, I've finished a series of planned infrastructure upgrades, re-locations and optimizations. Everything went as planned with barely anyone noticing. At around 12:00 GMT, Monero Block 1685555 was mined, triggering the Monero Hardfork. I've noticed this primarily because I saw 100% rejected shares coming in from all our Monero Pool Edge-Servers. A quick investigation revealed a bug in our codebase that was not caught during testing because the Monero Testnet is using a different value for its Mainnet than for Testnet. This bug was fixed quickly and the updated code was deployed to the pool servers stopping the influx of rejected Monero shares. 

Roughly 90 minutes later I've noticed that hashrates for pretty much all other pools - except the Verge Pools (which run a different stratum software) and Bittube - where down close to zero. Inspecting the live logs revealed the cause: Pretty much all shares got rejected by the pools. I've spent the next 4 hours with going through the pool code's changelog inspecting each and every change for clues of a change the might be causing the rejections. I couldn't find any. I decided to check if non-code related problems might cause the rejections but once again came out empty handed. This took another 2 hours. My next approach was cloning the pools on a standby server and testing each pool in isolation. To my surprise they worked flawless - identical hardware, setup and configuration. The only difference was that I tested them in isolation, not as a cluster of pools like the production servers did. So I started adding pools back to my test cluster until would be able to reproduce the problem. This happened as soon as I added a Monero Pool. After a some tests it became evident that handling Monero shares inside the pool process caused other hash calculations to error out. The culprit was a bug in the Cryptonight v2 code that was borrowed from pre 2.8 versions of the XMrig Miner.

Since it was already late, I was tired, and didn't even know what bug was causing the trouble with the other pools, the only viable solution was to close down the Monero pool for the remainder of the night. This morning I was able to pinpoint the bug, fix it and redeploy the Monero pool. All in all, close to 16 hours of work caused by a time-bomb implanted some weeks ago for some coin hardfork. #pool-op-life 

Just woke up today to about 30 miners missing from the usual 90 or so.  Repeatedly timing out after logging in for maybe 10-15 minutes.  Assuming everyone else is having this same issue...

I've just returned from a much needed two week long summer vacation. Contrary to the what I had booked, internet access was intermittent at best which was the reason for the lack of support during that time. I would like to apologize for that and will do my best to get up to speed with the work which has been piling up here during my absense.

YAYYY!

All software components of our Monero pool have now been upgraded to ensure a seamless transition to the upcoming Monero v7 Hardfork which will activate on the April 6th 2018.

To continue mining Monero after the hardfork activation, miners need to upgrade their software as well. The following miners have been updated so far:

• XMR-Stak (Windows Nvidia, AMD, CPU Mining)
• CastXMR (Windows AMD Mining)
• XMRig (Linux/Windows CPU Mining)

You can mine using the updated Miners right away. Both the pool and the miners will seamlessly transition to the new PoW algorithm upon reaching the target block height for the hardfork. Be advised that older mining software which has not been updated for the v7 hardfork will stop working after the fork.

The Monero Pool Setup-Generator has been updated to work with the new version of XMR-Stak.
