Re: [ANN] Iridium - People are Power - PoW - No Premine

Guys please be peaceful. This is the democracy project. We all should achieve success with this coin.
Seems Steve is not interested in irdpool tk issues. More pools - more power.

Steve is not interested in approximately half the hashrate of the network? Sure that hashrate can go elsewhere. The idea that the developer doesn't seem to care about breaking major chunks of the ecosystem is concerning.

I've re-implemented the pool several times now, with several different forks (including the exact forks other running pools use), with several different forks of the back-end used by the pool forks.

All error messages, and research into them indicate a problem with a hardfork. I will continue my search for the secret fix the developer is withholding (probably located within node-cryptonote-util) for a bit more.

I can attempt to re-implement with entirely new pool software (not the same pool software all current IRD pools run) but this would involve migrating to a completely new DB schema.

I said earlier in this thread when mine77 was shutting down I would continue to run irdpool.tk on the condition it wasn't a major time sink. It now is. I have a actual development work I need to be doing, not reverse engineering someone else's patches.

I assume there is no secret patch.

I found the secret patch, and to quote the developer of the pool you feature in your signature: https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool/issues/14

I'm closing this issue and removing stated support for Fantomcoin. This project has no future plans to actively support any coins that don't work by default because the clone coin devs make changes which break the pool software yet make no effort to patch the pool to work with their changes.

For this pool to add support for modified cryptonote coins then the devs/communities behind those coins will have to fund a bounty to make it worth while for devs of this project.

The solution was to switch to a pool fork that explicitly supports Fantomcoin, by default the fork irdpool.fr and irdpool.eu run does not work with this HF and the developer has stated he will not support it. There is your secret patch.

Let it be no secret, Stevebush for whatever reason seems to hate me and seems to be actively attempting to fuck with irdpool.tk. It's getting the point where I feel I need to audit any code that gets pushed out.
