Re: [ANN] AIRcoin - 19th Largest Cryptocoin by Marketcap
Unless you live in a minorty of suburbs the best domestic connection you get in Australia is 24/1 (and thats if you live next door to an exchange) 1Mbps upload isn't going to be stable no matter what size pool you run. A bussiness grade VDSL connection is several thousand a month for a symetrical 10/10 connections (still not ideal for running multiple pools).
Try finding me an Australian VPS under a few hundred a month. Then add to that DDOS protection and the cost of a domain (very mininmal I know but it adds up).
Add to this the time spent maintaining the pool (I work 2 jobs) and you'll find it's pretty easy to start running at a deficit. The pool has been running 30MH/s since I started it with an average of about 1 air per day in fee's. So My air pool earns me about 0.05 BTC a month. The server costs $250 a month with ddos protection adding a substantial amount ontop of that. I'm sorry but I'm not going to continue to work a second night shift job just so that I can do a largely thankless job.
If you believe its as easy as you think I challenge you to run your own server for a month and see if you aren't pulling your hair out at the end of it. I'm sorry you seem to feel that I owe you something but that's just not the case.

Everyone can just mine right to my wallet, I will split everything equally. Easy, see! No shares needed!
Yea, many do not know what it actually takes to run a full service. I watched a few people try to do this from home, with "high speed" internet, and they all just fail miserably. (Even just trying to run a simple web-server. They don't realize downloading is fast, uploading is buffered to hell and limited. Not to mention the limited constant connections that are required.)
That is why I didn't hesitate to offer you coins. (I run web-hosting, so I know that game. Not from my house.)
Yep. You would be lucky to even run something like a VOIP server on most home connection's without experiencing major upload bandwidth issues, let alone serveral stratum ports and MPOS frontend's that are constantly under attack from DDOS'ers
