Update your daemon & wallet. You need to be running v0.3.x ... the network hard-forked at block 53666. 

And while I'm here, I may as well note that our pool is on the updated software for anyone interested in mining Wownero:

Come mine LOKI with us at cryptonote.social: https://cryptonote.social/loki

Our pool uses a predictable solo mining payment scheme, the goal of which is to provide an entire block's reward to a miner as soon as it computes a number of hashes equal to network difficulty. Of course it's impossible to provide any such guarantee given that mining is a random process: for pure solo mining the network difficulty reflects only the average number of hashes you might have to perform. The actual number can be 2x, 3x, 4x or even more, making solo mining far too risky for most.

The good news is that through leveraging the mining power of multiple miners, we can come pretty close to this ideal of awarding 1 full block's reward when number of hashes equals difficulty. Ethpool was the first pool to promote this concept, and it works quite well judging by its popularity: it contributes well over 2 TH/s of hashpower to the Ethereum network (see https://miningpoolstats.stream/ethereum).

We've been experimenting with predictable solo mining for cryptonote coins like Loki, Monero and Wownero for some time now. In the process, we've identified room for improvement in Ethpool's PSOLO scheme, and have implemented an updated payment scheme we call PSOLO2. The main difference with PSOLO2 is a full block's reward always "costs" exactly the network difficulty value instead of the number of credits from the runner-up miner. This improves predictability of payouts and eliminates some of the known flaws in Ethpool's scheme.

Interested in giving predictable solo mining a shot without a big investment of hashpower? We recommend you first check out our Wownero pool: https://cryptonote.social/wow

The network difficulty for Wownero is right around 80M, which means you can mine a full block's rewards in about 2 hours with 10 kh/s of hashpower. In fact as of right now there are 2 mined blocks already confirmed and sitting in the queue waiting for any miner to hit the network difficulty target and instantly earn their rewards.

Happy mining!

This is Wownero; must be different and full WOW. So, we've just switched our Wownero pool over to the "predictable solo mining" payout scheme pioneered by Ethpool:

https://cryptonote.social/wow

It's an interesting payout scheme that awards the round leader the entire block rewards, though at a far more predictable time interval than if you were to solo mine on your own. It's a bit like participating in a race against the other miners. Many entertainments! Plus since Wownero's network is still at a reasonably low difficulty, you don't even need crazy hardware to be able to score an entire block. Such rewards.

Very little chance cloud mining is going to be profitable. It it were, the cloud service providers would be doing it, not you.

I wanted to plug the XMR mining pool we just kicked off using the "predictable solo mining" payout scheme as pioneered by Ethpool.org for Ethereum:

https://cryptonote.social/xmr

It's an interesting payout scheme that awards the round leader the entire block rewards, though at a far more predictable time interval than if you were to solo mine on your own. If you have the hashpower and time to stick it out, it's a bit like participating in a race against the other miners We think it will be pretty fun for the Monero mining community.

What's the status on ASIC-proofing?  Given Aeon/TRTL are the only coins I'm aware of on cn-lite/v1 it might be a good choice.   Would love to add you to our list of pools (https://cryptonote.social/) once the ASICs are gone.

Can you say a bit more about what's going on here?  Someone implies this is coming from Nicehash -- is that true?  I see on Twitter you recommend increasing tx confirmation to 60 blocks?  Are we out of the woods yet? 

Thanks.

It means network hashrate will drop until electricity required to mine a coin is about the same as before.  Market forces, ya know.

Celebrate the fork! Join our brand spankin' new Masari mining pool...

In celebration of the v5 fork we've added Masari to our community pool site:

https://cryptonote.social/msr/

There's no better time than now to join your small neighborhood friendly mining pool! We'd be delighted if you were to help get this off the ground.

West-coast USA based servers; no fees or minimum limits on withdrawals at this time.

Relatively new Trtl pool:

https://cryptonote.social/trtl

West-coast USA based.

At the moment there are no fees or minimums.

35 blocks / 1 million turtles mined to date.

Join us!

How's this?  "miners" stat not accurate just yet (counting users not miners) but will have to fix later today.

https://cryptonote.social/pool/statistics/wow

Ah you must be asking for your stats site:  https://freeboard.io/board/c8mM2c

It does have a stats API but nothing standard.

Let me know which methods your site requires and I'll add them right in.  Looks like it only requests hashrate and # of miners at the moment?  Thx.

Thx, yeah I always make sure at least one block is successfully mined before any publicizing ... would suck to discover a failure in block submission implementation after others join in!

Nice, thanks!

Brand spankin' new pool running latest daemon. 

No gimmicks, no fees. Just much coins.
