Lets try to get some action going in the mineabit pool:

***
Mine-a-Bit: http://aur.pool.mineabit.com/
0% Pool Fee / 0.01 AUR tx fee / VarDiff

Excellent for "lower" hashrate miners, and why not for higher hashrates too, compare to pool with 1% pool fee and 0.1 AUR tx fee:
Lets say you set autopayout to 1 AUR.. you pay 0.01 AUR for the pool fees and 0.1 AUR tx fee; thats 0.11AUR taken from every payout.. 11% total fees! // with mineabit, this would be 0.01 AUR tx fee = 1%
With autopayout set to 5 AUR, that would do 0.15 AUR in fees from every payout.. 3% total fees! // with mineabit, the total fees are still 0.01 AUR, which would be 0.2%
***



I switched over for the lower fees but I'm concerned about how the worker diff adjustment is working.  After ~30 minutes I'm still at 128 diff.  Typically pools push my 1.7 mh/s to 400 - 512 or so.  Not completely sure how this impacts the pools overall performance but wanted to mention it.

Relayed the comment to the admin, he'll go through and optimize the settings. While this has pretty much no impact on the server, users from other continents might see a little slower hashrates than with with servers located more close.
Nice to see ye join the pool too btw! Smiley

To attract some more miners to get them blocks rollinn in steady, I'll pledge the coins I've mined so far for a giveway!
22 AUR to be drawn between two lucky miners (12 for the first, 10 for the second) on the pool! Names will be drawn before the weekend, but could be sooner too Wink Get yer miners in today! Smiley
