CloudFlare DDOS protected pool

Shadow

I am still hearing about pools getting DDOS flood and going down and up and I am not talking here about small pools but big pools.
Well here is some more statistics about attacks on http://pool.burstcoin.ro that I got from Cloudflare Analitics:

Pool http://pool.burstcoin.ro never received those attacks and had zero downtime from the starting date that was about 2 weeks ago.

The number of miners are increasing, the number of block hits are increasing.
Maybe you should check this pool and get your miner on it and stop losing money by using pools that are susceptible to flood and have big downtime's.
Me ( Shadow ) or other member of this pool will be glad to help your mining operation started, even if you need Burst to setreward recipient or you need help to start plotting or configure your miner. I also get on TeamViewer with miners if they have problems and solve them.

Wonderful community is growing on discord channel - https://discord.gg/Kc6KdaX ( #general-en or #general-ro )so we are looking forward to see your BURST address on the miners list and recent payments list.

Pool has a 5 Burst payout ( so on each block hit miners get paid based on shares ) and keep shares for 500 blocks and any deadline is accepted so even if you are 100GB or 10TB miner , this pool is for you.

Good day, Im sorry for asking but I've been mining on this pool for a couple of days now... and i still haven't received any burst. im kinda new so i dont know how this things work but from what I've read is that it depends on each pools and I'm kinda curious as to when I can receive mine?
Here's my wallet BURST-ZLNC-BJJV-PVWR-GSFY5

Hi, any pool pays the miners when a block is won by the pool ( basically any of the miners in that pool ).
Burst ID: ZLNC-BJJV-PVWR-GSFY5 (297 GB) - 300GB will not get you too much of a reward but you will receive some Burst.
You need to be patient.

You need to start making plans to increase the plot size to TB order.

_Nigui

@Shadow Oh I see, thanks for replying, I'll be sure to increase my plot size to TB as soon as I can afford one.

You will love this on Discord https://discord.gg/Kc6KdaX
Pool now announce when a miner has a good deadline or a miner hit a block .
I am using this feature like this:

Discord mobile app
get notification from announce channel.

We received in the last 24 hours a number of increased DDOS atacks detected on the Cloudflare. All that I could observer on the server was a little increase (1-2%) in web server and an small increase of the ping to the server ( from 1-5 ms to 10-15ms ).
That's it !!!! :) No downtime, no problems.

All what this pool need now is miners to come and join this wonderful community.
Any miner is welcomed in this pool 100G to 100TB and will always be.
I will make sure that if the net diff increases also the small miners get some shares for their efforts by changing the pool parameters to make it open for everyone.

You are most welcomed as any other miner that want a 24/7 stable pool.
We just got an https wallet because miners requested it :
https://wallet.burstcoin.ro/
Same cloudflare protected wallet but now even more protected with https.

so their wish is my command :D

is the pool getting hit or its just my internet sucks? sometimes I'm getting a "no response from server" error

Shadow

Hi to all ,
Just wanted to announce the readers of this topic that we break the barrier of 90 miners.
Tomorrow is time to get serious and upgrade network internet line of the dedicated server from 100Mbps to 1Gbps to get the server ready for more miners and keep a fast reliable service for all.
Have pfun and happy bursting.

PS: I will announce on discord when the switch will be done. No worries the server will be like 5 minutes down. After this it should handle better all the traffic that will come in the future.

Best pool for me currently. Good job Shadow. I tried others but when the pool was down i moved to another and saw that i do not make any dime if the pool is down. Finally i return to http://pool.burstcoin.ro because his pool is protected and his community is really nice (i also speak the same language as him but it has also an English channel if you do not speak RO)
If you want to join a stable/reliable pool with good community come and find us on Discord. Ty Shadow

HiDevin

The reason why most people are probably worried about switching to your pool is the withdraw payout/10 burst?

10% of what you mine goes to transaction fees, and then the other is pool fee :/

Big miners don't benefit at all at this pool, because of the payout threshold :/

Shadow

@HiDevin Hi man,
Before you jump to a conclusion, please check the payouts and you will see that from the 10 burst payout only really small miners benefit.
That 10 Burst payout is not fixed and it is increasing while the pool get's more miners.
It was 5 burst untill 100 miners joined. Now is 10.
On 200 miners will be 20 and so on.
Pools config is not fixed, people vote changes in the discord channel , is miners pool, not mine, I am just a simple tool that respect miners wishes.

So if miners in the pool will say , we want 1k burst payout treshold and that is voted by majority, that will happen in second one after the vote is finished.

So ... before you jump to bad conclusion, better come and join us on discord and see that there is a democracy not a dictatorial management.
Who knows , maybe you will like it as community not just to join with your miner.

This pool is growing fast and with this post I will also make an announcement
At some point this pool will close gates to new miners by spliting the reward only to existing miners in a list of fixed number of miners based on the shares they have.
Better N happy miners with a fast and reliable service than 3k miners that have a poor service from the pool.

This N will be determined by the total resources consume in the server - we are not on 15-20 % give or take.

suddenly miner showing red error messages

This post is deleted!

Shadow

@Yey_09 that was normal. I've restarted the pool for a small implementation.
Your miner will recover automatically.

HiDevin

@Shadow Thank you for telling me this, I always thought the pool withdraw limit was fixed, This pool is growing fast, I can see, and i'll probably reconsider my thoughts on joining your pool thanks :")

Hello @Shadow I joined your pool today with no hassle with my little knowledge and its great! I've already had a small payout but i'm just curious because you state " Payment is instant when pool has positive balance " are you able to implement something to show us how long untill or just how much the pool balance is.

Thanks.

Jaffa.
