This morning there was worry about https://bat.poolers.org having too much of the net hashrate and we have lost 25 MH/s since then. We are nowhere near 51% anymore so feel free to come on over.

There are still 7 slots remaining for people to lock in the 0% fees forever. Once this promo ends, it will remain at 0% for everybody for a while though.

As far as the 51% thing, all I can say is that I have no intent nor interest in harming this coin. This is not the only pool I am operating and I wouldn't do anything to harm my reputation on this forum. Without bitcointalk.org, you just won't make it as a pool operator. It is kind of difficult to promote a pool though when I have to tell people to go away when it is starting to get too big, especially considering that 50% of a new coin is not much hashrate. I hope you all can put a little faith in me and come make bat.poolers.org the #1 BatCoin pool.

Thank you to the ones that stuck around. We have mined over 10 million BatCoins and it hasnt even been 24 hours since the pool launched!

Keep in mind there are a few upsides to mining with us.
-Our servers are DDoS protected. This is not software or a firewall that we installed. We pay for a CDN company to protect our servers from malicious traffic.
-Our web traffic is using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). For some reason the others are not.
-Mining pools are often the target of attacks so security should be a big factor for anyone when choosing a pool. How much do you think was put into security on a website that hasn't even encrypted their traffic?
-We are operating at 0% fees, the others are not.

See you guys in the pool!

Nice pool, switching over my miners now.

Thanks, See you there.

For you guys that that were complaining about your accounts getting hacked, this is why you need a pool that has invested in security. At the very least the web traffic should be encrypted with SSL. Try loading each pool with HTTPS:// instead of HTTP:// and if it does not work with HTTPS:// your web traffic to that site is not encrypted. This means traffic between you and the site can be intercepted. This is a good way to get your account stolen.
