Ozcoin Update
We have been doing a lot of work on the site lately
Stratum and VarDiff being most noticable to miners and the best solution currently.
Our implementation of VarDiff allows miners a per worker choice between dynamic with a target of 18shares per minute, user set range of 1 - 10000 or off which defaults to 1.

We have more plans for the near future so I thought I'd take a moment to share where we are up to and our plans going forward.

Stratum
Stratum and VarDiff have been implemented on stratum.ozco.in and au.ozco.in
Coming soon stratum on us1.ozco.in and a european server
Note: No merged mining on Stratum

Ecoinpool
We will continue to run Ecoinpool on servers it is currently running on but will not deploy to any further mining nodes. Unless it is updated soon Version 2 blocks will break it, at which time we will need to turn it off.
Merged mining will continue on Ecoinpool
No varDiff is planned

Servers
We plan to restructure our servers
The server that is currently us.ozco.in will become our www server
The current www/db server will be retired (the most expensive to host)
The us.ozco.in mining subdomain will be moved to the us1 server

After the restructure we will have 2 US stratum nodes and one each in AU and EU
We will continue to run 1 ecoinpool node in US, EU and AU for as long as possible
The worker page on site will always have up to date mining node information

Timing
I am taking my family away for the weekend, when I get home I will move the mining subdomain DNS's and we will start working on the new www server.

Other
Payout issues finally resolved,
Some miners still need to go to User Account > Pool Options and put in a payout address after the recent hiccup.
