thanks very much Oliver, this should stop a lot of complaints coming your way. Happy new year to you and the others at the pool HQ

law of averages will out dude... today we've just pulled in  our 5th block inside 20 hours.

there's some ppl in this pool who have some serious money laid out in D3s. So my frustration levels must be amplified 50 fold for those guys  to see us get pinged this often.

It's reassuring that bitmain's pools are now getting orphans, but I looked at their pool allocation yesterday, and it was pretty fluid. At one point they had ViaBTC making nearly as many finds as Antpool, so they must have algo's that shift the target pool for their D3s.

when using the ip scanner you need to make sure the computer is on the same ethernet your ASIC miner is linked to, if you are using a wifi connection or sub ethernet it won't detect it as being present

there is nothing oliver can do personally apart from put up a proposal for the antpool node to reimburse orphaned blocks, which they effectively stole

yes you had your shares nullified by viabtc or antpool (bitmain) refusing to accept blocks to the chain.

looks like everyone might be over the hump. Was going to suggest that we should vote a order for the orphans to made whole out of the 50% share that goes to node holders. Especially given that it was likely one of their own being an antpool node being the not so innocent party

one only needs look at the extraction to see that antpool at 48% and ViaBTC (a miner with very close links to Bitmain) at 23% (combined extraction total now 71% of mined blocks) are subverting the mining efficiency. Just about every other pool is now below their average yield %. I am not blaming you Oliver, this is beyond your control, the reality is DASH.org need to sort this. Their upgrade seems to be the enabler of this situation allowing the  Antpool and ViaBTC to dominate a side chain, which has now become the dominant chain.

Bitmain has proven once again they care about their immediate profits,
and are prepared to sacrifice their customers profitability long term to
reap short term gains.

 The current suggestion that miners need to just box on, and try to wrest control back from this situation is ludicrous.  Can the pool target be redirected to chain being built by Antpool/ViaBTC? Or can the update on your server  be rolled backwards?

its  not accumulating shares anymore,

something really screwy is happening. My miners have been offline for 8 hours and yet it is recording that they are clocking 20GH each and building shares. Sorry Oliver, Dash is currently a Sino minion with centralised control.
