btw - do you know ( or anyone know for that matter ) who the the miner tarithel is? ...
he seems to have been lost in the changeover of the official granite / ozziecoin pools ...

Who knows, he might have been lurking here for years without registering Wink

I appreciate your concern for my disappearance, so I decided to finally register on BCT and explain what happened.

First a few historical facts so you know I'm the same guy and not some troll who decided to bust your balls.

I mined GRN on the old pool more or less continuously starting at June 2015, first with some old GPUs and later with one or two ASICs after I got my hands on some Baikals, which happened at June 2016 iirc. A while back (November/December 2016 before the old GRN-pool was decomissioned) you mentioned me mining at the old pool continuously hashing at 200MH, but that was actually just one Baikal mini (unless of course some of my other Baikals jumped to the GRN-pool for a bit due to disconnects on other pools or whatever). Oh, and my donation percentage at the old GRN-pool was set at 2% for a long time, not right from the beginning though.

My "getting lost" happened like this:

When the old GRN-pool was about to be decomissioned I tried to move to the new one (December 2016 iirc). Problem was, the registration did not work. Clicking the link in the confirmation e-mail resulted in a "Page not found" on the pool site. So, the account was locked. I then tried to use the Unlock-function that was supposed to send me an e-mail with instructions on how to unlock the account (Yes, an attempt born out of desperation, I know). That e-mail never arrived. I tried to register with 3 different e-mail addresses before I gave up. Then I tried the Contact-function (to report the problem) but that resulted in an error (can't remember the exact error message). So I gave up on the new pool and moved on to Aikapool to mine GRN.

After the newest pool system with SSO came online I tried to return to CWI to mine GRN, but the same problem persisted. The registration did not work, again the "Page not found" error after clicking the link in the confirmation e-mail. This time however the Contact-function seemed to work. I was able to submit my error report, but I never received any answer to that so I have no idea if that message was actually delivered. So I stayed at Aikapool's GRN-pool.

10 days (ish) ago the current MUE/DASH boom began and I moved all my capable ASICs to mine those. After this boom winds down I'm going to put some hashpower into GRN once again. Assuming of course that I can find a working GRN-pool Huh

That being said, Aikapool's GRN-pool has been out of commission for the last few days, for some reason their pool says "Wallet not sync! 0 work nodes found! Try later..". Perhaps they should add some nodes to their wallet conf or upgrade the wallet ...

Being a long time supporter of GRN (mining, buying) it's a shame that I can't mine at CWI pools, I hope I can do that in the future. And come to think of it, I also tried to mine OZC at the old OZC-pool but iirc it also had the registration problem (wayyy back in 2016) and I ended up mining OZC at Aikapool.

P.S.
I don't think that the registration problem is on my end since I've had no such problems on numerous other pool sites using the same software.

BR,
Tarithel

hi tarithel ...

first ... let me say welcome - back Wink

...

second ... aikapool - the guys that runs those pools is an awesome guy - really awesome ... i mined on his pools for a long time myself - until i started to dabble - then work and focus on the cwi-poolsystem ... if he has an issue with his pool - i can help him fix it ... as the new wallet has a few changes in it - one of which is a rename for the directory and conf file ...

third ... it was not your end that was the issue - it was the cwi-mail system that broke - and due to double-spend issue with the database ( mpos / mysql issue ) - the database had to be blown away and restarted ... sso was brought in - and the new cwi-stratum is not only a custom built stratum - unique to cw - it is also a work-in-progress ... the stratum is one of the best in the crypto industry and when i come back from helping to fix the demise of thefarm - ill update all the threads and ops with all the info ...

as it stand - everything works in the cwi-pool system ... email - registration - sso - and the recoding of the cwi-stratum has made it a solid base for mining to happen ...

testing and diff / miner power - are the only two things that are a little 'iffy' currently ... without thefarm - and without asics ( sha256d - scrypt - baikal ) - it is impossible to test the new systems ... especially with the high hashrate that the asics bring in ... at least until we get that module of thefarm sorted also ( later this year - working on a deal with baikal currently ) ...

now we KNOW that two ports are required - what we call 'lodiff' and 'hidiff' ... these will be implemented when i get back also - unless 'theboss' ( who is very technically competent as well - just always busy running the business side of cwi ) implements these while i am away ... he will have a list of all the vps systems - usernames and passwords / and all the directions and directives that these vps systems and dedicated servers require to function ... especially the encryption keys ...

the cwi-pool system is all based at 0.7% - unlike the old pool ... the old pool was free AND had bonus payments for individual miners AND group mining ... which meant you always got more than you mined - even when someone else find the block ... i have been mining granite since ) almost ) its inception - which meant i had a lot to give away - and as such - allowed the pool to give away a LOT for the miners ... there is no such funds now :| ...

so tanx for mining for so long and even having a stab at ozziecoin ( ozc ) as well ...

both granite ( grn ) and ozziecoin ( ozc ) will be getting an algo very shortly ... the ozziecoin one is finished - but needs tweaking - and the granite algo is still in development ( quite a bit more complex than the new ozc one ) ...

add me to skype if you wish - chrysophylax69 - as ill be offline from here for the time at thefarm ( no electricity or internet ) but will have my phone and other devices active ...

much appreciated for the contact - as i got used to seeing you name on on the pool everytime i checked Wink
