So I don't post here much, but this has been my go to pool for about almost 3 yrs now. I love it and definitely plan on sticking here long-term, but would like to see some more hash rate here. We're working on getting about 100 more machines online in a couple of months, still working on it!

This might not be appropriate, but want to see the pool keep up which is why I'm posting this here first. Basically we have been working in upstate NY on some build out projects and currently share a space with some local miners and pull about 5 mW.

We are looking to expand our space for another 1000 machines, but are coming up a bit short on funding for the wiring and transformers we will need to put in and all that. Our partner charges $125 a machine to host currently. So we are basically looking for a couple of people that would be willing to pay the monthly fee like 3 months in advance, at some discount for helping us with the funding, to help us close the gap and make this happen. Ideally 1-2 people that could do at least 500 machines.

Been trying to convince some people in our area to allocate some to Kano-warehouse we are in draws about 50 mW so there are some big miners here, so far no luck but will keep trying. Think it would be easier to convince if the pool were larger. And for what it's worth we link to kano on our website too. If you're interested drop me a line for details!

Maybe the 10/3 BTC giveaway might convince some of them?

See the top of the first post.

I think we need to be about at least about 150 PHs to make the pool visible to large miners - but when someone can point 10PHs at the pool and expect an extra 2 BTC in a month - 10PHs should earn about 25BTC over the next month and should expect to find 2 blocks, so they'd make at least an extra 4% assuming 100% luck - of course they could get an extra 3 BTC if a little lucky

That is a great idea to do something, but it seems that as of now you only have 1 miner on the pool that is more than 10 PHs, might be hard to get 10 people to point their equipment to this pool in that amount. Why not try getting folks who can point at least 100 + THs and give them a smaller reward than a whole bitcoin for finding a block. it appears as of now there are less than 70 users who have more than 100 THs on this pool.

As of right now, it seems as though if we lost the top 10 miners on this pool we would lose 1/2 the power. As a business owner if I were reliant on 2% of my clients to stay in business that is a recipe for disaster. I would rather have 1000 miners hashing 100 THs each join than 10 miners hashing 10 PHs.
