Transaction fees starting to build up again, BTC price going up up up .. now would be a great time to find a block! (not that there is ever a bad time to find a block Grin

)

With the change to 0% fee I decided to give the pool a second (and last) chance. Hopefully other people who left it decide to come back too.
I deployed 2.6th and will deploy more 14th today. I will also add 50th during this year. That with actual mining hardware, not rental.
This will double the pool's size since it currently is at 60th.

Maybe it would help to spruce up CKPool's webpage a little? I could help with that, and I'd do it for BTC donations. CK, thoughts on that?

I don't mind the way the site is right now, but I don't know if other people feel the same way.

Nowhere on this thread nor on website has an address where we can donate to. Not that I have found.
CK, I think you will earn more money by relying on donation than making it 0.5%, 1% or anything %fee. People respect you for your work, and will respect even further with an "altruist" pool. In the long run, you will make more money "giving" your product than "selling" it I think.
Maybe also an option where you can specify donation % youd like to give where you type your btc address in the miner configuration page. (ofc IF you wanna give, don't make this mandatory or else that will not be a donation but a fee)

The only two things we need are more hashrate and proof that nothing goes wrong. It was really heartwrenching what happened before and that cannot happen again. Not in the next one or future 100 blocks.
We really need more hashrate because we are losing a lot to bitcoin rising diff right now. We need at least enough hashrate to find a block per difficulty change (once per ~2 weeks). As of now we have enough hr only for less than a block every 14 months.
Tell other people and rent hashrate. Donate to the pool. Help by giving ideas. Mine away
