I've been mining for the last few hours and your site tells me I have no shares. Anyone else having this issue?
Switching away until issue resolved. Lost eight hours (at least) already.
Unless you can find a minimum of 1 share per 5 minutes (the timedelta), hashrate.php will always misreport. I see a balance of 0.165 BTC on your address, which will be paid out when it reaches 1 BTC or after 1 week of not mining on the pool.Switching away until issue resolved.

Another idea I had, was to put it back to paying out tiny coins again, but also accepting transactions using those coins at no fee. The two problems with this plan would be: 1) the clients will still think they need to pay a fee unless you hack them, and 2) it leaves less space in our blocks for normal with-fee transactions. Currently undecided. It also wouldn't be very easy to write.
If the pool hash rate goes up significantly and you use the latest bitcoind (which allows sending payments to multiple recipients at once among other things), then it will probably will be useful. Just my thought on the matter. I haven't looked into what it would take to build a pool. I would have to dabble in solo mining with multiple machines [and one master] to get closer to deciding to do so. However, I think there will be enough pools by then that a new pool won't be useful. I think a pool with a great website and lots of features while sticking to the 2% rate would be a winner! Maybe I and a couple of buddies should whip something up [nah ... won't happen
].
