New gridcoin pool
I guess you know what gridcoin is - cryptocurrency for rewarding BOINC contributors.
Gridcoin pool is just a combination of BOINC project manager and gridcoin reward distribution.
Earlier there are two pools exists - grcpool.com (working) and pool.gridcoin.co (not working). Or if you have at least 2000 gridcoins ($80 for 15 may 2018) you can mine by youself (solo mining).
Long story short I wrote one more pool, third: http://grc.arikado.ru/
This is opensource project, so you can open your own pool, github: https://github.com/sau412/arikado_gridcoin_pool/
Rewards should be the same as they were in grcpool.com (they are difficult to compete with, because no comission, faster stakes and more flexibility). Rewards are sent after my coins stake, typically thay are stake from 2 to 5 days). Remember, that rewards grows slowly, you need at least two weeks to reach plateau.
If you are interested - register, join as account manager, chunch workunits and receive rewards (same as grcpool rewards, no fees).
Just a head's up, you might want to remove POGS from your Pool Stats listing since the project has shut down and been removed from the Whitelist.
Where is the official white list located? gridcoin.us still has pogs in the list: https://www.gridcoin.us/Guides/whitelist.htm
The whitelist has been updated for gridcoin.us in the public Github repo (https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Site) but the change has not yet gone live. We'll be trying to get this out in the coming days.
wiki.gridcoin.us/Current_BOINC_Whitelist unfortunately its not a static webpage they use publicly editable wiki and point a forward to it under the gridcoin.us domain. I am working on a webpage for the greylist system and in hopes they will incorporate it into the gridcoin.us website and use it so that only " trusted community leaders " can modify it since anyone can edit and wreck it right now if wanted. Even gridcoin.science's whitelist is wrong , he bitched and got odlk1 vs odlk whitelisted and didnt add it before he got busted.
Already exists. spare work (or don't, I amn't commanding):
https://gridcoin.ddns.net/pages/project-list.php
That page also still has pogs in the list. But "list projects" in gridcoin client looks like correct list.
Great to see this make its way to open source! I'll be checking out the code when I can to help out or find any security bugs.
Thanks. Tried to write code as secure as I can. All my fears belong to simplexml_load_string and htmlspecialchars now. But my knowledge about vulnerabilities are very limited. Just always escaping and validate user data.
You did quite a good job with the security, I made a GitHub issue regarding recommendations on how to improve it even more!
Good to see another pool for Gridcoin. Thanks for your work!
Thanks. Are you interested to me work together?
Are you brod from gridcoin slack?
Yes.
