This pool is pretty great, has some non-standard features and a great UI. He has a cool concept where he hands out coupons for 0% fees, there is still about 4 left.
I swear I'm not the operator or his friend, but I do think we deserve a better hash-rate. Currently it's at 22 mHash

Thanks for the positive feedback. Hope we can keep you mining with us

It does annoy me a little, the fickleness of miners. We're consistently the first pool running on many coin launches. We've invested vast amounts of time, work and also money into building a strong, stable, custom infrastructure. But still, people seem to prefer jumping onto the "git clone mpos newcoinname" pools, with the free domain names that have literally 0 effort gone into anything.

Last night we were first running, everyone flocked to the pool, we had 100% of the hash rate in those first few minutes. Unfortunately, the coin wasn't working so nobody got any coins, and then gradually people left our pool to join HashFever, or SuprNova or whichever other "stick another subdomain up, a new coin is launching" pool they chose. Not really sure why.

We'll keep going anyway and hopefully build our userbase over time when people start to see where the properly professional outfits are.

Sorry, anyway, rant over.
