We've started a pool for HODL too:

https://hodl.maxminers.net

However, we're not compatible with the original CPU Miner as we did some modifications to get some more performance out of it, please use our own miner when mining on our pool, you can find the source here:

https://hodl.maxminers.net/hodlminer-maxminers.tar.gz

We've already found a block, so the Pool is good to go, please spread some hash over.

Good job getting a pool going. Now there are 3 for people to choose from, us Suprnova and you.

I am really curious about your performance modifications. I did a diff of your posted code compared to what we did and I can only find one line changed in cpu-miner.c:

Code:

1064c1064
< diff_to_target(work->target, sctx->job.diff / 8388608.0 );
---
> diff_to_target(work->target, sctx->job.diff / 65536 );

This does indeed make the miner incompatible with us and Suprnova but does not increase any hashing speed. At best it does mess with the stats within MPOS.

So I have to assume I missed something, where should I look for the modifications that get more performance?

Sorry, we probably chose the wrong words, the diff / 8388608 marked some valid shares invalid (block candidates) on our side which was not happening with / 65536 so you should simply find more block candidates with the mod.

Best thing is probably to just try the miner without the mod and with the mod, for example point two comparable machines one to block quarry and one to our pool and you should notice a difference in speed, recognized shares, shorter rounds and lastly also the payouts.
