already back in with a few rented rigs and told others to do so.
even if there might be days where a rented rig does not pay out at all i will try to provide ~10 MH/s per day since we really need that pool to be attractive. it can have the best efficiency in the wolrd, if someone sees a low miner/hash rate count they will hesitate.
Yeah my 8.7 MH/s is pointed there all the time since it came back up. I think once it has paid out a few days in a row constant more people will come back. It looks good on the poolpickr site
They need to work on the Pool's website, the fact that people cannot check their miner status, makes them not want to mine as well.
It's been a while since we heard any update about the pool, they should hurry up and finish it ASAP IMO
Agreed. We need to get back to the basics - which were working fine - and end all the meaningless posturing and bickering on all sides.
++++ Plus, plus, plus.
Also this has presented BlackCoin with a golden -and so far missed- opportunity to make clear and differentiate itself from the clones by making a public, official statement with reassurances about the security and safety of BlackCoin, something in the vein of "...and this is why something like what happened in WC could never happened to BlackCoin". Not having it simply leaves such occurrence as a likely possibility in people's minds.
Same exact thing applies to the Pool. No, without a proper front end, no major amount of miners is coming back any time soon: It looks sloppy, at the moment. Stats that compare the Pool, in the link, to just about the least regarded coins in the market, doesn't benefit the perception either. And same for the lack of clear resolve of the situation that brought it to it's knees over a week ago... something reassuring such as an automatic switch to back up pools that won't require miner's intervention when another attack -and surely we can count on more coming- happens, whatever shielding tech measures have been taken: Reassurance.
It'd be nice also to make public the strategy of the pool's selection. Who's deciding what to mine? Are we throwing darts on the wall of is there someone that really knows what he's doing behind it? what's the criteria? why is it better that just mine Litecoins and then buy BC with them. Or is it really better? Proof of such?
Those are some of the differentiating basics that brought BC to it's extraordinary success in a few weeks. Instead of reinforcing and solidifying them, we seem to be much more interested in challenging the government of Cambodia, creating lotteries (taking 50% off the top; nothing wrong with lotteries, a lot wrong with taking 50% off the top) or "taking" Wall Street to evidence, publicly, just hype and no substance.
But hey, ra-ra-fucking ra...
Rat4 posted today about an update on testnet. Seemed fairly major.. but I don't know. It's likely he's improving the system further.
You need some hype to go with substance. Otherwise all the short term traders hop off,.. and there are a lot of those in crypto.
