Good morning!
  • Yesterday's share corrections were applied successfully. About $10,000 was distributed to customers from unrecorded shares. There are still a few issues with the hashrate charts that Chris is correcting. A description on what the problem was is available in a separate topic in the "News" forum, and the original issue (insufficient memory) was resolved. Note that profits are about 2/3 of what they were just a few days ago because difficulty and prices have been very unfavorable regardless of any problems.
  • Unfortunately, the issues destroyed the data I was using to determine how much the fix had improved profitability, and therefore I'll need to wait two extra days to be able to determine how much of the improved profits can be permanently passed on to customers.
  • YoBit has locked a lot of its wallets, and the system detected that and placed many coins into error. We're continuing to do what we can about locked wallets by adding other exchanges so that we have a minimal number of coins without exchanges at all times.
  • Currently, the ongoing tasks are ASICBOOST support, adjusting profits once enough data from the last fix is available, Ethereum mining, charity donations, ERC20 token payouts, and Tether payouts.
  • Beginning immediately, E-Mail activation is now required for all new forum accounts. The goal is that the Chinese spam bots are likely not programmed to check E-Mail accounts to confirm the links, and that should eliminate the spam, at least until they write code to perform the E-Mail checking process.
  • We are still in reduced support mode for the holiday weekend. Regular support will resume tomorrow afternoon.

I think the simplest way to address this issue for now is to enable moderation on new forum accounts created during overnight hours in USA. New forum accounts can't post until they are approved and that would immediately stop this issue until you can implement something they can't get around or they get bored and go elsewhere.

So they created 20 accounts the first night, use 10 of them the next night, and register 10 new ones for the following day and keep repeating?
If you put a 24-hour pause on posting they will still do what they did, just have to skip one 24-hour period.
There would have to be some sort of vetting process on new accounts, it can't be a simple "24 hour delay" -- when the account is reviewed, the mod decides if it's a legit account or not.

Looking at the usernames they are using such as "bghsfdjhs" is pretty obvious it's crap, a mod would catch that immediately and ban/delete the account.

I read these suggestions and found that phpBB allows us to disable accounts "pending admin review," so that's what I did. Every morning, I'll review the accounts that are created and enable the ones that seem reasonable. Even if I enable some of the spammers' accounts by accident, there will still be a "cooling off" period that might make some of the bots give up.
