I was wondering why my earning was so low this morning ...

suprnova pool is getting exploited !!

Look at the stats:
https://hiro.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=statistics&action=round

1   anonymous   863   3,463   401.27

400% invalid shares is the sign of an exploit of the pool, sending "fake" shares !!!

Please BLOCK THIS USER. The user is stealing our work by getting most of the coin !!!


This exploit is not working on this pool, don't be worried.

Invalid shares are not payed, don't be worried, your earnings are lower since more people start mining it and diff rose.

Those invalid shares senders are banned automatically after 5 minutes, i've banned those two now manually.

I know that invalid shares are not paid, but seriously:



Don't tell me that this user isn't trying to fool us. And maybe only a few of the shares he sent are accepted, they might still be fraudulous and he manages to be the biggest shares holder.

He sent 11 millions of shares while the second one only sent 500, c'mon ! He is spamming the pool.
There is clearly something wrong with this user. Even if the valid shares are legit, he is nevertheless trying to exploit the bug.



Yes, please ban that user. Anyone with more than 25% of invalid shares should be kicked out.

Dont worry, that user tried or tries to "spoof" shares.. He sents valid shares from one valid rig (to bypass banning) and lots of invalid shares with the same username from other rigs which only produce lots of fake / invalid shares. With my implementation nothing will be deducted from your shares/reward also with "bad" users as they are detected.

My code sees that and currently filters only the valid ones (with correct diff), sends him (and me) a mail that he is about to get banned.
I've already tried to contact him but he suddenly left the pool a few minutes after my mail, so yes, he was cheating and is now probably trying on an other pool.
