Thanks for clarifying and I do understand Devs need to eat however few are mining on the official pool at the moment so you won't be receiving any rewards because you won't solve any blocks. Just a suggestion, drop the Dev fee for lets say 24 hours to encourage miners to return back to the pool and then reinstate the 5% Dev fee after that.

If it's 0% fees shouldn't the block reward be 5000 - why did the last block still show 4750 ?

Great question. We have a 5% development fee on every block coded into our wallet (network wide). 5% or 250 Pigeoncoin goes into our 3 of 7 multisig address managed by 7 community key holders. We are a community run coin and had a community vote to raise development funds by introducing this dev fee at block 420,000 with a guaranteed end at block 1,420,000 (roughly 2 years from when it started). Hope this helped to clarify?

Our official pool fee is already set to 0%. The 5% is taken at the protocol level so all pool miners and solo miners receive 5% less regardless of where or how they mine. As this 5% dev fee is at the protocol level it cannot be removed without a hard fork. It ends at block 1,420,000. Just to clarify further, if you mine on the official pool you pay no fee so the pool receives the full block reward of 4750 like any other pool or solo miner would anywhere else. If you mined say with a pool that charges a 1% dev fee, then the pool would get 4750 for the block and then also remove the 1% fee they charge the pool miner, so you'd get less from another pool than mining on the official pool. Effectively pools with a 0% fee only lose 5%, pools with a 1% fee lose 6%.
