Explain this please!
-
I don't know weird
-
@Burstde My firewall drops all non-essential traffic. So ping is dropped at the firewall.
-
Maybe he has deactived ICMP requests.
-
@haitch Great info
would cloudflare do the same thing
-
@Burstde I don't know if cloudflare blocks pings or not, however Cloudflare would not work for the pools - they don't work properly with proxies.
-
More stuff on upnp too
http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/ddos-upnp-devices/Okay so what would a pool owners low cost solution be, which firewall router

@Lexicon said in Explain this please!:
tell me about it, in the past 2-3 weeks my wallets forked more than it has in the 5 months that ive been here.
last night tried 4 different wallets every wallet forked. even my local wallet forked.
im forking to the left, forking to the right. forking all god damn night. i gave up at 3:30 am as i had work at 6:30am and i really needed some sleep.
Make sure you have enough RAM available for your local wallet because during 20'000 unconfirmed transaction the RAM need rises to 2 GB or even more on older versions.
I wonder what changed 2 - 3 weeks ago...

this is a little over my training but if this is true.
ICMP is used for path MTU discovery. Chances are your OS sets "DF" (do not fragment) on TCP packets it sends. It is expecting to get an ICMP "fragmentation required" packet back if something along the path fails to handle that size of packet. If you block all ICMP, your machine will have to use other fallback mechanisms, which basically use a timeout to detect a PMTU "black hole" and will never optimize correctly.
There are probably a few more good reason to enable most of ICMP.

I dont understand why this was done all I read about is attacks with this part of protocol. The only thing attacking you might be the rebroadcast. In any case this isnt what this thread is about.
It why my pool got robbed of a block win. I seen this months ago actually watched it also seen ninja lose a block to my pool. So whats up with this? Nobody was forked and maybe one site stuck. Communication is the problem work on that not blocking crap.
-
@tross oops ...........don't understand what you mean by rebroadcast
-
@tross happens on your vps or home server? I had the same problem on the time where the server was on a private server was without dos\ddos protection. The look at the router logs shows that someone tried to block the reporting. So make sure to make a max request limit.
-
I seen this too many times in the past to think someone is blocking my pool. If anything its the distance from point a to point b and if one side bottle necks then info dont flow.
-
Ok its happen again lol But this time a solo miner won!
This was on the vps the first time on home server so dont matter where you are. It also not raining and has nothing to do
with any server just my pool and the network! Maybe a rebroadcast of best dl 5 seconds before it runs out?
-
looking at this, that deadline has been sat in your wallet for 10 minutes. this should of been plenty of time to propagate the result with the rest of the network :/
-
-
Well its happening again! Haitch cluster stealing blocks! Actually they seem to be blocking my wallet otherwise the dl of 42sec would of been seen on block 359866.
Man I didnt really want to get in a discussion on your set up but it has a problem. My pool looses too many blocks to this cluster. I know networking and this aint gonna work. So explain to me how your cluser doesnt get my dl. First before you answer google Contabo. The bottle neck surly isnt coming from there. My time is always correct. Most the time it yours that lag. My vps is always up to date and rebooted often. When your pools were down I never had a problem. So why cant you fix it. You guys complain about a pool having 51% so te whats the difference than a cluster with 51% of the miners. That can cause problems too right?
-
@tross My cluster is not blocking you or anyone else. The fact that you can get to the forums shows that. I do not know why my pool won a block you should have won, but the decision isn't up to my wallets, it a consensus of the network wallets - if your pool did not win, not enough wallets accepted your deadline. I'm not stopping all the wallets in the world from talking to you ......
-
I dont agree because I was watching the network observer at the time and your pools showed small issues. I lost 2 blocks and with this burst price its no longer a cheap fix. 216.165.179.116 got the block cause your cluster wallets didnt see it. I tried to post image but your sever cried error. I am Novell trained and Certified dont mess with me. I kept my business to myself about your network problems. But I am tired of loosing blocks and having to pay my pool because of a bottle neck. How many miners are there in your network? How many PB run through your router.
If it isnt your setup then why is the network messing up? Tell me what you think it is!
-
@tross I'm Novell and VMWare trained and certified, but what has that got to do with anything?
If your pool doesn't win a round it's because the network didn't accept your DL, not my wallet, the whole network - I do not control the whole damn network. If enough nodes agree that yours is the best deadline, you win - it doesn't matter what my wallets think, if enough agree, you win - end of story.
