I know what he has stated, and as soon as I can read this on the deepbit page I will take my consequences. You are not right saying that if everyone hopped very few blocks would get solved. If everyone hopped there were other problems, such that all hashing power would be concentrated at one point, but it surely doesn't lead to no blocks solved.


I use no justifications to make something OK in my head. Please accept that there are different understanding of pool hopping, and I _seriously_(!) think that it is OK. Will the next thing be that you accuse me of being crazy because I have a different opinion and understanding of it?


Please let's stay on a calm level. People make such aggressive discussions on pool hopping because quite everyone mining, does it purely for profit. If you really cared about profit, you would hop. If you don't care about profits so much you would not care mining at a pool that is not the most profitable anymore, and don't start with something like "ethics", this is nothing about ethics. Bitcoin is a currency and the additional funds in the transaction blocks are created to motivate mining. Apparently it's possible for a great profit with or without hopping.

And again I see the common misunderstanding that an other system like PPLNS will be unfair or screw occasional miners. It's wrong, and I'm not talking about an opinion here. Just the variance increases slightly. This is exactly the issue I was talking about, the lack of really understanding pool hopping and why a system like PPLNS prevents it and is fair even for occasional miners! The common misbelief is spread by people like you and Tycho, because it is hard to understand. I give up at this point.

If you want to ban users that show "suspicious behaviour" I hope you publish a detailed definition of what hopping is. I mean, can anyone define pool hopping for me please? If you say _exactly_ what you mean by pool hopping users can decide to stay or not.

Does pool hopping mean _always_ staying less than 43%? What if I stay always until 45%? Will you ban me? What if I stay in 10% of the rounds until the end of the round. Will you ban me then? Without a precise definition you are going for an unfair system.

@Tycho It's silly to compare pool hopping with bank robbery and you know it. I can just assume you show this behaviour because the majority of people apparently don't really understand what pool hopping is and how it exactly works. It's a hard to grasp thing, statistics can be hard to grasp. See the gamblers fallacy. It's hard to understand why leaving the pool at ~43% is optimal. But it's not stealing or such a thing of any kind! What you do is further spread misinformation, and if you call pool hopping bank robbery, I call this spreading of misinformation a crime.

I can understand that you want to keep your current hashing power and the pool size. Most or at least the visible majority doesn't seem to grasp pool hopping the way it is, so you hop onto their misunderstandings and keep the flawed proportional system. Why don't you try to convice people and help them understand the very simple(!) and perfectly fair PPLNS system?

The _only_ solution is to switch to a fair system or keep a fair one. What fair is, is also a matter of definiton, it might be proportional or PPLNS, but it's certainly not proportional with banning some users because of their miners schedule!

He can just hope that god can decode ASCII… maybe if he spends more bitcoins on the corresponding transactions he will listen 

4 Namecoin blocks so far   

Very sad this pool closed. It had _the_ best bitcoin pool website which was clean, easy to use, and had nice statistics.

I hope you release the source simultaneously

Selling 2116 I0coins for the current blockchain   Be an _early_ adopter and buy them!

Now there are already like 2400 blocks, are they kept?

Ist die Bezahlung via Bitcoins nicht mehr möglich, oder übersehe ich auch was?

Sure, I guess this is simply the reason and coincides so far with my observations . My backup pool nearly never needs to be used, especially in these days where a huge percentage of the whole network hashing power is within proportional pools, and you can hop deepbit.

It doesn't matter if you set the threshold to 0.43 or 1 or infinity (then the backup pool will never be used) with many enough pools. There is nearly always a pool with less than 43%. You need to notice that the efficiency still drops sharply below 43%.

I was mining for the last round but don't see the reward anywhere for that. Is this a known problem?

How often are payments processed? I initiated a payout some hours ago. Do you plan to translate the page to english? There are quite some more miners that can't read russian

The error seems to have completely disabled my server, need to initiate a remote forced reboot

Schlechte Stimmung? Es sieht für mich eher so aus als hätte da jemand Angst seine teuer gekauften Bitcoins nicht loszuwerden. Schlechte Stimmung machst hier im Forum nämlich nur du durch solche Stänkereien. Ich habe "Nyx" Posting jedenfalls nicht so interpretiert das "alles nichts taugt".


Fakt ist das der BTC-USD/EUR Kurs zu hoch war (und noch ist). Wer auf dauerhafte Gewinne durch Verkäufe bei hohen Kursen gesetzt hat ist einer Spekulationsblase aufgesessen. Der Fall des Kurses auf ein niedriges Niveau ist nur Sinnvoll und natürlich und schadet Bitcoin in keinster Weise. Verschenkt habe ich die Bitcoins, welche ich heute für 7.20€ das Stück verkauft habe sicher nicht.

Does it show your reward for the last block? I think maybe it just shows after the 120 confirmations have been done.

Yeah there are some issues, and I could not figure out the specific source of them either .
Someone more familiar with bitHopper and twisted should look into this. In principle it _should_ work like that.

Yeah thanks, it works now.

Sorry for posting in english; I'm getting errors trying to access the /account page at https://kiwipoolme1.appspot.com/account

By the way: kiwipool has an API now https://kiwipoolme1.appspot.com/api
