Hmmmm is something wrong with pcmining.xyz? Can't connect from my home rigs anymore.
My nicehash contract is still running just fine.
Mining elsewhere until this is resolved.
My rigg is running just fine on pcminein.xyz.
Yep, up and running for me again now.
I'm sad to hear this heartfelt effort hasn't attracted enough support. Also, e4f4's efforts in directly mining to a zcash address, I'm not sure how that is going.
I'm going to come up with a plan to further incentivize the miners, but I need to speak with a couple pool owners first to see if it makes sense...fight greed with greed? everyone please comment on your own ideas.
Although a 51% attack I've read is a theory and hypothetical, it doesn't provide confidence in some community members.

Yep - I propose we use this as the 'official' BitcoinZ community pool for now. Don't spread your hash rate among the many other pools out there. Use the one that is full of keen community members looking to donate 0.5% to the dev team.
Twenty pools are too many, miners are looking for where it is more profitable.
Yep, totally right. The global hashing power is too small and very very centralized on suprnova. While I am not worried about some 51% threat, it's still not good for appearances. Plus other than for max payouts on suprnova, I just don't know of a pool that has better than 0.1% fee and donates 0.5% to the devs.
Maybe the OP should be updated to really highlight the PCMiNing.xyz pool as the main one to use if you're new to BitcoinZ.
I'm going to set up another NiceHash mining contract to run on PCMiNing later today - we need the hash rate, and I'd advise others to do the same. That, or just donate directly to the devs.
OP should be updated. So far pcmining.xyz is the best option if we want to support this coin by mining.
