Whalesburg Maintenance Release 0.3.2: Smart Pool Upgrades, Payout Improvements, and Frontend Fixes



Greetings Whalesburg Community!

While the dust was settling on our token sale, our dev team was hard at work on the latest maintenance release. So we’re proud to be able to announce our latest update, which includes several significant improvements:

Mining Pool Upgrades

Whalesburg is constantly working at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our mining pool so that all members end up with the highest possible profitability. This is the foundation of what is quickly making Whalesburg the best all-in-one mining solution in the business.

Smart Upstream Switcher

We are super excited to announce that we’ve made big improvements to the pool’s upstream switcher to ensure every millisecond of every connected miner’s power is used in the most profitable way possible.
Before this release, the switcher was merely checking the availability of the coin node. Now it's much more intelligent.
Here’s how it works:
In the background the pool constantly monitors the state of all nodes and the mining tasks produced by them. Our new Smart Upstream Switcher now notices when one of the nodes follows blockchain consensus faster and immediately gives that node’s mining tasks priority over the others. At the same time, our updated Smart Upstream Switcher notices when a node is not ready for a new task. Instead of interrupting the mining process by waiting for that node to, for example, reorganize the transaction pool, our Smart Upstream Switcher chooses another node for mining; one that’s ready now.


In general these changes mean faster jobs propagation to miners as well as the important benefit of avoiding the very wasteful situation of accidentally solving a stale job. Ultimately the updated Smart Upstream Switcher increases the overall node pool for mining so that now the pool has the capacity to use more nodes to take on mining jobs.

With the implementation of the Smart Upstream Switcher we’ve also improved our own ability to internally monitor the system, adding metrics and graphics for mining job generation and receiving. This should allow us to make further improves in the coming weeks and months.

Here’s a run-down of the pool-related big fixes we’ve made for this update:
1. We  increased the limit for worker names to prevent very long worker names from being omitted.
2. We’ve customized and improved the Stratum Proxy protocol by fixing two bugs and adding new charts to our internal monitoring system

Payouts

Everyone in the mining game knows it’s all about the money. Nobody wants to wait days for their payouts, get charged unnecessary fees to receive them, and deal with infuriating error messages. That’s why we are happy to announce that we’ve delivered more frequent and more reliable payouts at lower fees.
1. Now your payouts are calculated and executed every three hours!
2. We’ve made gas price estimation enhancements that have resulted in decreased transaction confirmation time while ensuring the lowest possible transaction fee. Here’s how it works: The payouts module estimates the gas limit for each transaction to not waste a miner’s money, then it sends the payout straight to the miner’s address. This includes support for smart contract payouts, however it must not consume more than 50,000 GWei. The number has been increased from 21,000 so there should be any possibility of suffering an “out of gas” failure.
3. On top of that, adhering to the “fail fast” principle so that we can reduce errors in the most efficient manner possible, we have improved fail fast checks at every stage.
4. Finally, we have improved the API. This has resulted in a reduction of requests on some endpoints by as much as 6 times meaning the website loading time should be reduced.

Frontend

Finally, because we know it’s important to have a comfortable and intuitive user experience, we’re constantly working on improving the frontend of our platform. To that end, here are the fixes we’ve made in this latest upgrade:
1. We’ve fixed the “mining now” badge that had been displaying incorrectly under certain conditions. You can now rest assured that the coin the platform says you’re mining is actually the coin you’re mining!
2. We’ve fixed the URL for ETC new blocks.
3. We’ve improved charts’ Y axis display making them clearer and easier to read.
4. Finally, we’ve added more details to the pool blocks page including “current round variance,” “network hashrate,” and more. Here’s what the new pool blocks page looks like:


Rest assured that our developers are already working hard on the next upgrade in our constant battle to make Whalesburg the most profitable, easiest to use, most complete, and overall best mining solution in crypto!
Thanks for your support so far!

Enjoy User-friendly And Versatile service: We Have Perfected Our Tools To Include Internal Libraries Updates, Massive Compatibility Fixes, UI Upgrades And So Much More



A path of a thousand miles consists of small steps.  Even though the last release was last week and our devs are working on a number of serious features, they still find time to fine-tune a few remaining interface aspects to enhance our miners’ user experience even more.

If you’ve been with us for a while, you know that there’s nothing more important for us than our community.

Every day we work on improving the functionality, ease, effectiveness, and reliability of the internal structure of our product.

We cannot afford to overlook the need to produce constant improvements in the interface, the quality of information display on a variety of different devices and the addition of new display data that may be useful to you as well as a number of other features.

Broadly speaking, all our improvements come down to these three steps, which are all necessary for you to enjoy an unrivaled service.

We have so far:

 - Improved the way the interface is presented on widescreen displays, tablets, phones (about 70 different useful changes throughout the interface).
 - Fixed incorrect formats of menus on tablets.
 - Fixed issues with icons on iOS devices, which could occur in some cases.
 - Added more information about coins on the main page. Current round variance (precise expected time to find a block) has also been added.



 - Fixed an unpleasant lagging effect when prompts come up.
 - Updated internal libraries on which the application is running.
 - Improved the performance of graph drawing on the statistics page.
 - Added transaction commission information for mobile version.



 - The income graph currency is now stored using cookies and therefore is not reset after leaving the page.



 - The workers information block for mobile version was redrawn completely.



As the workload starts growing exponentially as the demand for our platform is increasing, we are continually improving our performance so that we can provide the best possible service and be all we can be so that you can be all you can be.
Get in touch with us if there’s anything you want to see changed, and we will get on to it as soon as possible.

Cardstack analysis will make the system fair and flexible by helping calculate the rewards unlike the previous era of crypto.

Admin...I was approved yesterday after trying multiple times and now I wake up and my dashboard shows "rejected" again. Very frustrating

The more WBT you hold, the lower fees you'll pay to the pool... read the whitepaper and check for the tier system for more details

hi dev any Eta for listing. what your planning for promote your product? how much total supply

If you’re happy with the project and want to be apart of it you wouldn’t put so much pressure on the team. If you just want your funds and no longer believe in the project can’t you guys just dm admin or something.

 I'm still not getting a clear answer as to why the tokens have to be locked while exchanges due diligence takes place. Plenty of 'live' tokens list on new exchanges without having to be locked while due diligence takes place.
