75% of the pool has not voted. How can you count that as a majority vote? The pool should keep the default setting until more of the pool population has voted. A non-vote should constitute a default setting.
It is very clearly implied on the voting page, that no majority is needed, only the result matters.
And you just repeating this non-vote default nonsense is getting old.
It's like on a presidential election all the people who don't bother to vote or vote for Donald Duck should have their vote just defaulted to the other candidate.
And in case you aren't aware, there are plethora of reasons why miners won't vote. One simple reason is that there are organizations, companies, universities etc. running miners, and they either don't want to vote, or can't reach a decision on what to vote, or just do not wish to participate.
So you invested in The DAO? No one in their right mind would support a fork unless self-interest was guiding their decision. Wake up people. Burn the stolen ETH.
@adaseb why would the attacker/exploiter dump it all at once? wouldn't it be more effective to dump slowly to maximize the gain?
Whatever the case may be, im not sure how healthy forking as "the way to go" about this, ETH didn't fail as such and I think thigns wont go so well for the whole idea/concept/protocol if the forks happen
Most likely it wouldn't be the attacker dumping to crash the price it would be the holders of ETH who would sell because the attacker got his hands on the stolen ETH and might dump at once.
We have opened a new mining server in China (Beijing). It is available via Stratum at cn1.ethermine.org:4444 or cn1.ethermine.org:14444 (all miners are supported, Genoil, Claymore, qtMiner, ...) or getwork at cn1.ethermine.org:5555
Check out ethermine.org for more info on how to connect to the server.
Now we ask for the ip of a specific worker. Before you just needed to provide the ip of any worker which is slightly less secure (as someone could mine under your account and use his bio to change your settings). Nevertheless validation this was will never be 100% secure but it should be sufficient for the type of settings you are able to change. The best solution would be to ask for a signature using the relevant mining account but this is not possible as some miners use exchange accounts where they are unable to sign a message.
It was +100% luck 2 days ago, bad luck streaks can be long. We are monitoring block generation closely to make sure that there is no underlying issue that causes us to loose blocks.
@jacob Every pool that matters will end up supporting the hard fork, so it won't make any difference what tiny pool you move to that says they won't fork. You'll just end up mining on the minority fork. The hard fork is the right thing to do, whether you think so or not. Not taking the hard fork would kill Ethereum. Also, keep in mind the scammers will come out of the woodwork offering "no fork" pools, and then make off with your money. Of course, it's your choice.
@dr_pra What about the hardfork? I would like to have some time to take off my miners to another pool if ethermine will support it.
The "right thing to do" crowd are the gamblers that wish to be bailed out of a bad investment. The destruction of the integrity of the blockchain is all the will result from a hard fork. Mob rules will take what they can when they can.
I don't get why people think the juvinile ethereum blockchain has any integrity to damage. There must and will be hard-forks to important consensus code in the future. Taking this action to recover DAO funds is hardly different the many network upgrades that must and will happen in the future.
I'm anti-fork myself by principle too, but sometimes priciples don't match reality. Nobody expects the Ethereum network to look the same in a few years, so why be against emergency consensus changes now?
This isn't bitcoin. There is a long roadmap of changes ahead. If you want stability in consensus code, Ethereum is not the right choice of blockchain.
So, if this hard fork situation is so unbearable for those that don't want it to happen, why do you stay on the Ethereum network? I'm sure there are other cryptos out there that would meet your standards of decentralization. Oh, that's right, because you're making money. Sorry, I must a little slow today. I guess it's OK to set aside those high ideals as long as there's money in it for *you*. Of course, the people that stand to lose millions of $$ in the DAO, even though the Ethereum community can do something to help them, their money doesn't matter, because it's not *your* money. Seems pretty hypocritical to me.

They can't burn it either without the soft fork.
The hard fork however will create alot of controversy

E: and asia1?
whats with the constant <100% (bad) luck of the pool? havent seen it being "lucky" for quite some time
oh ok, i hope we get a lucky break soon
As with all our server it supports all available ethereum miners (stratum & getwork).
Stratum: india1.ethermine.org:4444 or india1.ethermine.org:14444
Getwork: india1.ethermine.org:5555
Thanks for mining with us!
Edit: nevermind my Router fucked up....
whats is ethermine/ethpool stance on upcoming hardfork?
