Just an FYI, I am done with
www.xpoolx.com, too many issues there. My XMG has disappeared twice, and although they resolved the issue the first time, it was not without raising a stink to get their attention. This time there has been no response to my support email.
Also yesterday, I was contacted on Slack by a user claiming to show me a 'hack' that enabled him to generate more than his shares, and he claimed xpool was using it against their pool members to keep profits. I do not claim to understand the 'hack', what it does exactly or how it is used, but I wanted to share the info. Here is what I saw yesterday on the slack channel:

I did not receive the email, everyday i'll answer the emails as soon as they arrive. Please resend it and ill solve your problem instantly.
About the hack, i don't know what are you talking about and i dont need to attack other pools cause my pool is very small and im in other league than the large pools. Also i can't view that link cause i need an account and i can't register.
The only hack i know you are talking about is a fake share hack than the users are using on the pools. Some users send fake shares and get more rewards without using computing power but i programmed an algorithm on my pool that detects that users and are instantly banned and shares deleted.
Don't know if it's the same hack as user tell to you.
I don't either, but when I look at xpool, I see that the percentages make no sense to me, all the time. How does one get 1000% of the actual share?

Hi Foo Plinger.
The explanation is easy. If you take a look at the pool, the hashrate is ridiculously high, that's because the shares are not parsed correctly by the pool. For example, If you make a share of 0.1 the pool interpret it as 100 value share, so the shares are more hight than the spected.
The other thing that cause that's percentages is the diff, difficulty varies a lot and with great jumps, so it's not the same the expected shares for 0.1 difficulty as for 8 diff.
Im working to fix it so when it's fixed the hashrates will become normal. I think in two or three days i'll finish the fix.
hi there. the xpoolx owner is talking out of his ass on bitcointalk :wink:

that 940KH/s is generated with a tablet pc (my slowest hasher) and a pc
all together about 90KH/s
do you use linux or windows?
i just restart my miner every 50 seconds
huge problem with xpoolx is, that the started mining at a share rate of 0.1. now its set to 1
still the same problem
and this pool is just set up with miners that does not exist. its all the pool owner

see the high hashrate on mrmeseeks. this high hashrate is also "used" over time by the accounts... patrick762 (the pool owner) alokasi, telferenc, learn2mine, curse53, diegocamilotto, bonskari and badgoes. did watched the pool stats closely the past couple of days
why should one do this? my explanation is to rip off share of your users!
but that is just my opinion
watch the stats yourself. make your own decision
you will also see anomalies like this

pool hashrate wents up a lot. nethashrate stays the same
