I've lowered the fee since everything seems to be running smoothly now. I was gonna do this earlier but my entire block lost power (not mining related)
That said I am personally concerned about how my mining pool has absorbed basically all of the hashrate. Nearly everyone who was solo mining is no longer doing so. Before I begun this I thought only GPU miners would be interested in using the pool. I'm in a position to 51% the network, I am the network. This is a call for another pool to be opened by another operator to compete with me. If this doesn't happen I may be forced to raise the pool fee to economically force people off of it. We're still very early, so I've lowered the fee to make this a fairer start for everyone while my future competition gets to work.
It's because GPU miners have such a higher hashrate that even 3 or 4 gpu miners outhashes the rest of the CPU miners.
I'm still holding a bounty for 1000IRD to every person that sets up a pool, to encourage more pools to be built.
