Good question

X13 is the obvious first step.  I'm in the zone with adding the new algorithms, and X13 shouldn't be much work to add from X11.  I'm out of town this weekend, so it probably won't be finished until next week, but should be pretty quick.

After that, like you said, combining payouts has been a major request, and shouldn't be much work.  It should have been done by now, but I like to be extra cautious on things like payouts.  Don't want anything to screw up there

Past that, I like the idea of the algo-switching, but it does require some extra thinking.  The way it is done with NiceHash is really neat (props to them for the idea, and funding the custom version of sgminer), but at this point, the new version of sgminer seems to have some issues.  Ideally by the time I've got the other stuff done, the major kinks will be worked out in the new sgminer version, and we can look into an algo-switching version of WP.  The actual algo-switching part isn't too tough (pretty easy in fact), the bigger issue is figuring out how to do the switching based on user preferences.  For example, if your miner can do 1MHs Scrypt, and 6MHs X11 (normal is 4MHs X11 for a 1MH scrypt), you would need to be treated differently in terms of what is profitable than someone with 1MH/4MH.  There is also the difference of preference of power consumption.  Some people would like to bias their miners towards X11/X13 because of the power savings, some users don't care, and would prefer to mine whatever is the most profitable (regardless of power costs).

Doing algo-switching on a generic level (preset values) is reasonably easy.  Doing algo-switching with user preferences becomes quite a bit more difficult

There really is something very wrong with you, isn't there?  We're done with this.  If it makes you happy, you can imagine that you "won" something by my decision to drop out of this exchange.  Seems like you need it as some measure of self worth.

I am not looking for a troll war.

You mean people like you... who only respond from their ego? I say to you again, please show me what 'advice' I have offered that was not accurate.  Stop posting non-contextual bullshit without quotes - aka, stop trolling like a fool.

I use a separate instance of cgminer for every card, it works fine. Just specify the device and device platform in your code. This is the only way to run different cards at different settings on the same box anyways, as far as I know. You will need to run "cgminer -ndevs" once to

 

What kind of hardware is being used?

-  10 130 MH / s are more than 10,000 R9 290x GPUs, consuming over 320W x 10000 = 32 000 KW / day!

How is it possible exist a miner so big!?

Good day all.  And I am back to mining on waffle now that the DDOS and reconnect has been solved.  I prefer to mine multiple coins and have given back 30% of my hashrate to waffle.

Tried that for sometime, but ended 100% on waffle.
CM reject % is huge and the hash they report doesn't match what I can see on the miners.
Point is, the profit they declare and the one you see don't match.

A.

What does tcpdump show?  Run it briefly and then terminate.  Take note if there are any packets filtered by the interface - this would likely indicate that there is a lot you could be sniffing but don't have your server configured correctly.

Of course I can't sniff your traffic arbitrarily.  You can only view traffic on the wire where you are located - so, if you have a server in a data center on the same switch as a pool, for example, you could view all the traffic inbound to the pool.

And OVH is far from a "virtual hoster" - they are one of the largest private data center providers in the world.

This is all pretty basic networking stuff.  You want a demo of sniffing packets?  Connect two machines to the same network switch, fire up wireshark on one machine and start monitoring (can filter based on the other machine's IP if you want), and then go to a few websites on the second machine.

Confirmation from an OVH employee, written last month, suggesting that intercepting traffic was still possible at OVH (they claim they are updating their switch configuration with a feature that prevent this):
https://forum.ovh.us/showthread.php/306-Misdirected-traffic-on-dedicated-server

It looks like in the case of OVH, some form of DoS attack may be necessary to knock the intended host offline in order to intercept tcp headers.  That OVH employee post certainly confirms in my mind that, when combined with another server at a host that fails to implement BCP38, the attack method I proposed is definitely possible.

It's definitely possible.

Here is how I would attempt to execute such an attack, based on :
- buy a server in the same data center as a large pool
- sniff packets intended for the pool (this used to be possible on OVH if you were on the same subnet as the intended host, probably still is)

Injecting TCP packets into sessions is not an easy task - but it is possible. For a starter, one must know the IP address of the miner and source & destination ports (and some other details regarding specific TCP session).

That affected miners were showing the unexpected ip address on their status screens suggests an attack other than dns hijack, as mining software (such as cgminer) that usually displays a server name instead of its resolved address, would continue showing a server name, but the underlying network transport would resolve that server name to a different ip address.

Oh, so you're the Galileo of forum trolls? That's not weird at all. I'm Spartacus by the way. Nice meeting you.

For those of you affected by the problem with detailed cgminer logs, (from cgminer/sgminer, not cgwatcher as it does not log such messages), may I suggest that you search for "reconnect requested" messages for any possible evidence of this method being used.

ummmmm  How about you read the 25 post before this one???  before you open your mouth..

I have.. But if its a Pool issue its not their issue..
And yea I could see how people would not like me considering I am getting Free hosting including free electricity and Internet..
I dont care what people like or dont like..

I do not believe that to be the case.  But if it were a dns hack, cgminer or most other miner software would still continue to display x.wafflepool.com as the pool server name, and it would simply resolve to another ip address underneath.  If cgminer or other miner software shows the unexpected ip address as the server name, then something else must be the cause.  I suggested one possibility to pw, but he considered it to be unlikely.  We'll see.
