Attention Monero Miners:Please check your configuration

Oliver 6 years ago updated 6 years ago 3

During a development related inspection of the database table containing the miner balances, I've come accross a ton of balances that will never going to reach their intended destinations simply because shares were submitted using the wrong miner login. In short the miner did not follow the instructions on given https://poolmining.org/pool/xmr. The most common case by far is the use of the '#' character instead of a dot character for seperating workername from wallet address. Resulting in the workername being treated as a Monero Payment Id.


This is a valid Payment ID:

This is just a tiny fragment of balances unintentionally using worker names as Payment Ids:

Hi to clarify, can you please give an example of what a payment id with worker name should look like?

With the introduction of the Setup Assistants, this problem should be a thing of the past.
