Mr Flintstone
are ppl gaming the block timestamps?
I
09:45
Iridescence
Last block was 45 minutes ago?
09:45
Or is Amoveopool just being wonky?
09:49
No, it's real. Block 10170 is the most recent block, and has been for the past 50 minutes
09:49
Looks like we just lost a lot of hashpower
09:49
Let's hope it's temporary
09:50

current height is 10179
I
09:51
Iridescence
Hmm
09:51
Amoveopool seems to be stuck at 10170 then
MF
09:53
Mr Flintstone
something feels weird about the realized frequency of the blocks and the implied hash rate function on the light wallet
09:53
maybe it’s just me
I
09:56
Iridescence
The implied hash rate is just an estimate
09:56
Real hashrate is hard to estimate
OK
09:57
O K
50 minutes, that's way too long
I
09:57
Iridescence
Amoveopool is behind
MF
09:57
Mr Flintstone
yeah but it still should be a function of the actual block times
I
09:57
Iridescence
Perhaps a node restart is in order
MF
09:57
Mr Flintstone
as long as the timestamps are faithful
OK
09:57
O K
That's strange, the node shows the right height
09:57
sec
09:58
yup, headers and blocks both
I
09:59
Iridescence
So it must be a pool bug 🙊
OK
09:59
O K
Checking
I
09:59
Iridescence
Hmm
09:59
Now it shows correct height
09:59
But not on "recent blocks" list
OK
10:03
O K
Okay, I see:
10:05
Zack http://159.65.120.84:8080 needs sync I think?
10:06
The pool uses various nodes from the network to produce those statistics, so everything is mining fine, and the pool's node is synced
10:06
but it picked up the data to display from a different node
I
10:06
Iridescence
Ah, I see
OK
10:07
O K
I think I will add to my list to display the node that it's pulling from, that will make it less confusing in the future

@potat_o is the amoveopool2 node publicly accessible?
16:02
Zack it seems like any block I find is initially accepted by other nodes, but then amoveopool2 comes along and claims it... makes me wonder if it publishes blocks but does not accept them (effectively a 51% attack maybe just by being behind behind a firewall with most of the nethash)... or just really, really bad luck? has happened 10+ times

Check out the spot instance pricing for Amazon AWS V100s
16:03

can you even get any? lol
I
16:03
Iridescence
I wonder what started on March 13 to start an increase in the bid price 😏
16:03
If you ask Amazon nicely I guess
16:03
Deleted Account
I can sometimes get a single, rarely a 16x at less than full price
I
16:04
Iridescence
so is the price chart incorrect?
16:04
It's for us-west
16:04
Deleted Account
it is correct
16:04
but it doesn't mean there is capacity you can buy at that price
I
16:04
Iridescence
I see, makes sense
16:04
Deleted Account
it is the price you would pay, if they weren't all being used at full price (!!)
I
16:04
Iridescence
I'm new to AWS spot request stuff
16:04
Deleted Account
great savings to be had
I
16:05
Iridescence
so why does AWS show it to be lower then
16:05
Deleted Account
full price meaning "on demand" not spot market
16:05
you often find you can get as many as you want at full price (on demand) but none at spot
I
16:06
Iridescence
so what is the red, blue and yellow price lines shown?
16:06
Deleted Account
regions
I
16:06
Iridescence
is it prices that spot instances are available at?
16:06
Deleted Account
it is the current bid price you would have to pay to get spot capacity
16:06
however, there may not be any capacity
I
16:07
Iridescence
does spot capacity translate to me being able run code on a machine at that bid price?
16:07
Deleted Account
so there may be a ton of people waiting for capacity to become available at the price shown... and you can skip the queue by bidding more... but you're all still waiting for mr full price to shutdown :)
I
16:07
Iridescence
oh ok
16:07
I think I get it
16:08
so it's like
16:08
you are bidding, but nobody is "selling" their instances at that low a price since they are all paying full price for the instances
Z
16:09
Zack
In reply to this message
Yes. Thanks
I
16:09
Iridescence
and I assume AWS always gives preference to people who pay the on-demand price
16:10
Deleted Account
Zack - any way to fix the difficulty too low errors I’m getting?
16:10
Deleted Account
@Iridescence yep, if you start an on demand instance it is always instant, right? I think they have a small pool ready to go plus the 1 or 2 minute warning before any spot instances are terminated
16:11
Deleted Account
@Iridescence the weird thing is, you can pay more than the on demand price for spot capacity... weird stuff
Z
16:13

In reply to this message
Maybe a block propagation issue, or maybe an attack. I will look into it.
16:14
Deleted Account
Zack tx... I can look up the block and see the mined address on other nodes... but that changes after I guess the fork is resolved in amoveonode's favour
16:14
I didn't mean to imply @potat_o is deliberately doing it just that it seems odd blocks propagate and are visible on other nodes only to later disappear - orphan blocks are to be expected but this seems extreme
Z
16:15
Zack
In reply to this message
Which pool? Are you being paid shares or not?
16:16

Amoveopool2
16:16
Getting paid, but hash is like 50% of what it was
Z
16:18
Zack
In reply to this message
Right. He probably isn't doing it deliberately.
But since his pool is closed source, he might be doing it accidentally, and there is no way for me to check.
16:19
Deleted Account
do you know if the node(s) the pool uses are open to the world?
16:19
I looked at a lot of the nodes and they all seemed to get behind at different times, suggesting none of them are the amoveopool node(s)
16:21
I think @potat_o and @Mandelhoff definitely have some work to do on their closed source pool... it seems mining solo should yield more than mining on amoveopool does... usually I find the opposite (because you get paid partial block rewards - so often ahead in the short term) but unfortunately solo mining is not working very well 😉

This is concerning.
I used the same technique to try and identify their node, but it sounds like it doesn't work.
16:24
Deleted Account
which lead me to wonder if it was behind the firewall (fair enough for security reasons I guess)... and I remebered how you pointed out that my node being behind a firewall could not receive headers automatically from peers?
Z
16:24
Zack
Right. So maybe they are accidentally attacking us.
16:24
Deleted Account
seems that way, or I just had really bad luck, but it seems too consistent
16:25
I'm 99% certain my node was functioning correctly though; as I could look up balances of the pool address, the fee address and the miner addresses on other nodes
16:25
but I have made many mistakes so far so never ruling that out :D
Z
16:26
Zack
@silver815 looks like you are finding shares. So maybe it is working normally.
It isn't a mining pool that I am running. So I can't help you.

16:27

maybe 5-10% sucess rate
Z
16:28
Zack
So then, they aren't behind a fire wall.
16:28
Hey could be doing an attack just 90% of the time to confuse us, but it seems unlikely
16:28
Deleted Account
but it is possible to receive headers/blocks without having port 8080 open, right?
Z
16:29
Zack
In reply to this message
I think you won't get new headers if that port is closed. If you don't get headers then you won't try downloading blocks
16:30
Deleted Account
right, I have to manually issue get_headers commands on my laptop for that reason
16:30
so if their pool was finding 100% of blocks it would be a possibility
16:30
but there are a handful of others
16:30
it is effectively 100% tho :)
Z
16:30
Zack
Maybe they are using dynamic IP. So every time their IP changes the attack happens for a while
16:32
Deleted Account
I suppose it is in their interest to continue, intentionally or otherwise, is there some way the network can protect itself against this kind of scenario?
Z
16:33
Zack
We can do a hard fork to erase the rewards they get whenever they have more than 90% hash power
16:34
They said they would split the mining pool into 2, but talk is cheap.
16:35
Deleted Account
true, although I think that sets a dangerous precedent :)
Z
16:36
Zack
Why do you think that?
It is a good thing if the community can organize to stop attacks.
16:36
Deleted Account
well, it makes me nervous that my coins could be taken away too
Z
16:37
Zack
Are you attacking the network?
16:37
Deleted Account
not at the moment, it won't accept my blocks! :P
16:38
I don't see one big pool having (effectively) 100% of the nethash as an "attack" - although I think you do?
16:38
however if they use that power at the expense of the rest of us, then it becomes an attack
16:38
but of course, ideally, there would be at least 2 pools
16:38
not run by the same entity of course
16:39
but maybe they are attacking by accident, which is a problem, but again the solution is spreading the hashpower, is it not?
Z
16:39
Zack
In reply to this message
one pool having 100% isn't an attack.
It only becomes an attack if they refuse to accept anyone else's blocks.
16:40
Deleted Account
nod, by accident or otherwise :D
16:40
is your pool down?
Z
16:41
Zack
I don't think intentions matter at all.
Whether it is "on purpose" or "an accident" does not matter.
16:41
Deleted Account
agreed, although spreading the hashpower is a hard problem when the obvious choice as a miner is to use the biggest pool
16:42
even if the community threatened to steal their VEO back, what can the pool do to stop its monopoly?
16:42
raise fees, I suppose...
16:42
limit # of miners...
Z
16:42
Zack
if we keep taking away their rewards while they are attacking, then any miners on their pool would not be getting paid.
16:43
Deleted Account
that is a good point, and I think it highlights the problem - you are effectively penalising the miners who are supporting the network
Z
16:43
Zack
the attack is not caused by having too many miners.
But if they had less than 50% of miners, the attack would fail.
16:44
In reply to this message
Hard fork isn't caused by me, it is caused by the network.
16:44
I just write the software. You guys choose what to run.
16:45
Deleted Account
nod, I mean "you" in the royal sense :)
Z
16:45
Zack
mining on a pool that is committing an attack is not "supporting the network"
16:50
Deleted Account
true indeed, unfortunately if the alternative is not mining... miners will go elsewhere or stick with the practical option (helping with the attack unwillingly)
Z
16:51
Zack
unless they weren't being paid while attacking.
16:52
Deleted Account
TBH if that happened, I think you would find miners go to another coin, unless an alternative pool is available...
16:52
chicken/egg at the moment, your pool has very little of the total nethash, so hard to attract miners
Z
16:53
Zack
Better that we temporarily lose hash power instead of sustaining an attack
17:02
@potat_o If you don't want the community to do a hard fork and erase your tokens from your pool, then I recommend you publish the IP address of your pool somewhere so we can look it up at any time.

Looks like OK found another block. So he is not crashed.
And his new block is being built on a shorter fork.

It seems like they are doing a 51% attack.

I wonder why it is going so slow now?
18:43
In reply to this message
so amoveopool2 is probably it's height from OK's node, and it is getting blocks from my node.
Very odd.
We can only guess what this closed source software is doing.

I make a fork that connects to my pool by default, but it isn't compiled into a release https://github.com/zack-bitcoin/AmoveoMinerGpuCuda

DO NOT USE AMOVEOPOOL2 which is the default pool for the miner.

Amoveopool2 is ignoring any blocks made by anyone else, and building it's own longest fork. Since it has 51% hashpower currently, it can get away with it.
MH

Fix your node code Zack so it doesn't have a 51% attack DEFAULT BEHAVIOR! The nodes behaved like this when Batman got all the blocks. The nodes behaved like this when kassel got all the blocks on your node. The nodes behaved like this when the old pool got most of the block. The node behaves like this on the new pool. That's 4 separate operators on the same default node code with the same problem
Z

It was a default behaviour at one point, but that was fixed aleady. The day when I figured out that the mining pool was waiting 40 seconds before updating the data that way being worked on.

OK reported to you that it still exists yesterday - when we migrated users to the new pool, the old pool submitted 17 blocks in 2 hours and none of them were accepted. We reported that and wanted you aware that the node was still ignoring blocks, because we are not looking to do 51% attacks.
Z

None of the other nodes are ignoring blocks. they all sync properly.

@Mandelhoff do the amoveopool/amovepool2 node(s) have port 8080 open to the world? they seem to be hidden away
Z
19:26
Zack
Yes. it is not clear which if any of the nodes are running your mining pool.
Maybe your node is behind a fire wall, so we can't send it headers, so it refuses to download our blocks.
19:27
Deleted Account
Zack if that is the case, and it is not possible to change the design to not require incoming connections, maybe nodes could refuse to accept blocks from peers they cannot connect back to and acknowledge the new block?
Z
19:27
Zack
we can't make 51% attacks impossible.
So long as more than 51% of people give their hash power to a single pool, it will be easy for that pool to do this attack.
G
19:28
Gonzalo
Anyway I think there should be at least 3 pools, none of them accepting more than 1/3 of the network's hash power

Yes, they use port 8080 and 8085. The amoveopool2.com pool runs on a separate IP address as the erlang node and pool. The amoveopool2.com is just a wrapper to the erlang pool that tracks miner work and passes out shares and manages payments.

if the 51% attack was intentional, then we are at the mercy of the attackers... however if it is an emergent behavoiur of the current design, perhaps it can be changed?

Zack are you not willing to consider the possibility that there is a bug triggered during forks that causes nodes to (effectively) ignore valid blocks from peers?

It probably crashed then. I saw several payments backed up complaints earlier. You suspected it crashed and that's likely why it's not accepting.

you can see who found each block according to a node on explorer.html

Here is what we can know:
Amoveo's tests for forking are all passing.
The blockchain had a period of time for thousands of blocks when blocks were being accepted from any node. It worked even for 1 minute blocks. There were 3 mining pools, and Mandel even said that when he finds a block it gets included over 90% of the time.

Given all this, it seems unlikely that the node is ignoring blocks

our pool should find 1 block for every 2000 shares or so.
Since you have 0 veo, this means that the 51% attack is probably ongoing.
OK

Upon further reflection, I realize that I was over reacting about the 51% attack.

After doing manual payments, I had to restart the mining pool fresh.
The first 10 blocks we mine your profit is a little less.
And after you stop mining, for about 10 blocks we find you will continue being paid.
currently you have about 2/5ths of the shares in the pool, so if we find a block, 2/5ths of the reward will go to you.

I noticed that after crashing, sometimes your headers gen_server thinks that there are more blocks than actually exist.
I think this is part of the reason that you cannot recover from the crash.

So I did an upgrade to how blocks are verified. Now you don't tell the headers gen_server about the new block until you are sure it is a valid block.

Maybe this will reduce how often the nodes crash.

yes, it was crashed for about that long. I recently turned it back on.
You kept getting shares while it was crashed, so now you will earn bigger rewards when more blocks are found.

Additionally, I think you missed out on one reward because there was a small fork and a block was undone. So I will send you this reward manually, and soon I will fix the code to handle forks better.

No server side push-thing is implemented in my stats page.
The webpage only automatically reloads every 2 min (from my server, not from peers directly).
Though the data on my server might be updated quicker.
Will try to use websocket or something when I have time for realtime update.
I'm also wondering what is the appropriate inteval to fetch data from other peers.
If too frequent it's bad for other nodes...?

Requesting data from your own computer, it should be fine to do dozens of requests per second. Possibly hundreds would be fine too.
20:47
Requesting from a different node is much more expensive. The miner I think is programmed to update every 3 seconds.
20:47
If you do more than 10 requests per second to a different node from a single IP address, it will refuse to answer some of the requests.

It doesn't make sense to use a dominant assurance contract for a company. Amoveo dominant assurance contracts can only depend on the outcome of an oracle, and oracles can only be a few months or a year in the future.

I think that many tokens on eth are redundant and could just be replaced with using eth as the payment.
