  • Add separate sub-accounts by worker
  • Protect accounts with password + 2FA to allow for withdrawal address changes
  • Include the collected mining fees of each block in the payout
  • A nice, responsive design web interface
Thanks for the kind words and ideas. I don't have plans to add passworded accounts as I see this as a differentiator with Bitparking - the owner of the private keys for the registered account owns the funds and it can't be changed. The Vircurex issue shows this has a downside but for those that own their own private keys they know they're safe. If I move to automatic withdraws and/or generated coins in the coinbase then even the pool wouldn't own the coins.

Transaction fee payout is something I'm considering but if I do that I'll have to change to not paying orphans. Basically the transaction fees pays for the orphans - or so I'm hoping - over time. So far the pool is in debt in that area due to two early orphans when switching to DGM but we'll see. It seems that paying tx fees might be perceived as a better deal than paying orphans by users and it'll be worth switching.
