my first pool has just gone to another ddos protection provider, should be less latency/stales/rejects now.
so my pools are (1)EU- and (2)USA- based. choose wisely which one works best for you.
pool links are at my sig
Erun, make sure your pools are on the main blockchain. I see the network hash rate is not accurate and the last time it wasn't accurate it was because of dontmine.me was forked. So one of the large pools is forked again...I think.
yep i know that. but we don't know yet which for is winning so... and look what happened to that wdc.dontmine.me website lol
Oh okay, I didn't see any posts about it so I wanted to make sure at least you were aware. And yeah, what happened to dontmine.me?
it says 'prepare to get orphaned'

i guess he's off now with the coins people mined there...
Please don't create FUD about other pool operators. Paul is a trustworthy operator who has always made right with his miners on all the pools he has started. The website is obviously experiencing some problems right now, yes, but the pool is accepting shares as far as I can tell. Slamming other pool operators by accusing them of running off with coins is very unprofessional. His pool has always had the "prepared to get orphaned" tagline in the banner. It's a clever joke on the block time of the coin.
oh, sorry i didnt see that phrase there before. but when you see that first time it looks suspicious. didnt want to offend anyone and i'm sorry to Paul as well if he's just experiencing some kind of hardware/software failures. i know how bad that could be.
Thanks, just asking to think about what you say before you say it and the effect it can have on the community, especially given the size of the pools you are operating. To be honest with you, of all the pools that miners have been the most concerned about, it has been yours. Not trying to be too harsh, but your decision to split your pools into 2 and continue to accept new hash power on the same subnet was very irresponsible and bad for the blockchain so early in it's life. This is why major pools on other coins open up their second servers on the other side of the world, to help spread the hash out and prevent forks. One could argue that the forking problem we're concerned about isn't just due to the coin's nature, or the bad luck of the other pools, but an issue with the way you've ran your pool from the early age of the blockchain, with at times having up to 60-70% of the entire network hash parked. It's very important for pool operators and miners to consider the consequences of their actions so early in a new coins existence.
