make sure you are mining on an updated pool, we are up to date http://aur.pool.mineabit.com

Dear Mineabit,

I stop mining with your pool because you have almost a month without produce a single block (and no payouts off course). Looks like a large percent of the hash power is going to other coins or other AUR private accounting. +4100% or >41 million shares without solve a block is far away from normal.

AUR Miners can validate this info by just login in mineabit pool.



I seen pretty much everyone leave there. I got some aur for a while then it seemed to stop. Been stuck here since before my last login

While the pool had 600+ MH we were finding blocks, people got their coins out and the issues started.

First we were ddossed hard so we moved webserver, mail server to ddos protected points working around the clock to get things working again.

We also added 1 us and 1 eu stratum servers.

Both of those started to get ddossed again resulting in the server provider asking to stop that service or they would terminate the accounts.

This impacted miners as they were not able to submit shares however people was still able to login and withdraw their earned coins.

We than moved the stratum servers to new providers with better ddos protection again providing 1 us and 1 eu stratum points but since then the hashrate on the pool has been low against a large network hashrate therefore chances of finding blocks were really slim.

Perhaps the fact that we spent our time working on ensuring that miners could get their coins out and continue mining instead of spamming the forum every 2-3 posts advertising the pool did not help.
