Might want to check the block chain. Believe it has been hung for 6 hours

Yes, what I thought was the permanent solution wasn't the complete fix.  The [pool] server downloaded some windows update that made it unstable (its server 2012R2).  Im going through each possibility and rolling back or reinstalling until we get it resolved.  I have to reboot the server continually.

Things are looking a little better now, this time, knock on wood.

The server is coming back up now!  Good luck everyone to a brighter orphan future.

Rob, does the pool need to run on windows or can it run on Linux also? Is there any documentation on how to setup a pool or a link to github? Let me know as would like to look into setting up a pool. Thanks

Wow, that sounds really cool!

We also have this pool:
https://bbp.miningpool.fun/

I'm glad to hear we are much more compatible with the mainstream, finally!

Maybe someday we will be a dac-xmr (merge-mined pair) while helping 65,536 orphans.
(Or BBP, if that's how God wants it).

So Rob, is it a requirement to mine on a pool these days or can the wallet/external miner solo mine? Just wondering if we have centralized on Pool mining at this point. Let me know as I have been away for a while. Thanks

Shall we change the ABN requirements, Saints?

To be more friendly to new users?

Rob,

So if we lower the ABN requirement, do you have any concerns that could lead to more forking? I know that was one of the concerns when you first implemented this functionality. Also would a lower ABN then lead to higher difficulties on blocks? Thoughts?

My only comment Rob would be that I would prefer to err on the side of caution and initial set the required  BBP amount a little higher than 1K. Obviously this could be adjusted at anytime but the concern to avoid a fork is real and I for one would prefer to see 10K as a starting point for safety. Just my 2 cents on this.
