http://sc.dontmine.me is back but the poolserver is disabled for now.

Everyone with a payout address has been paid at this point, 10k~ SC sent out.

Thanks Paul21. The hard work is appreciated. I'll have to bug you about the intricacies of setting up a pool for a new altcoin one of these days.

dynamic difficulty retarget seems a given. what about dynamic rewards? it sounds like a terrible idea... i believe liquidcoin made an attempt at it, but hear me out a sec. dynamic rewards plus dynamic difficulty would allow you to tune for a specific number of coins a day, regardless of network has rate. that seems like a reasonable way to control inflation.

Interesting but isn't this duplication? Isn't the purpose of difficulty to control the speed at which reward coins are distributed? Or are there other advantages too?

I think of it as a second feedback into the loop. It's easy to game difficulty if you have enough hash, but if you have 2 variables working towards stability, it'd make the coin more resilient to strange or erratic behavior. It was a random thought. Rapid difficulty adjustment appears to be mandatory on a fast coin, but being able to create a controllable dynamic inflation rate seemed like a desirable feature.
