Re: [ANN][POOL] ipoMiner - Profitable multipool targeting new coins
@ipominer I just want to say you do an awesome job.
Here's why
- There have been some issues because of new coins (forks, PoS blocks etc.) but they have been solved professionaly.
- You generally make me a higher profit than any other pool.
- You are almost immediately available to answer questions here.
So just keep up the good work and don't worry too much about the "squeeky wheels" that say they don't like it. Most people who do like it just simply take your service and patience for granted

From my experience, any pool that is reliable with regard to producing you expected earnings based on difficulty/net hash that pays out consistently, usually charges a 2% fee or thereabouts if it charges less and you donate to it. With ipominer, you get charged additional 1% for:
- Timely access to new coins with increased profitability
- Assurance that you will get paid what you earned and your coins will not vanish. To me, this is very important. I am sure most of us have been burned multiple times elsewhere.
- A high degree of probability that the coins you mine will end up trading on an exchange with liquidity and volume meaning that you will have the opportunity to sell at a good price if you are inclined to do so at an early stage. I have seen good amount of new coins that once they are were chosen by ipominer, they were shortly picked up by at least one decent exchange.
- Increased profitability. In my time here, it is been very rare to get under 0.004 btc/day per scrypt Mh/s. For comparison, most other multipools deliver less. Check out the current stats of waffle: http://wafflepool.com/stats
- If you don't like the IPO coin that the multipool is mining, you usually have the option to mine another you like better on another dedicated port. This is such a time saver in just not needing to deal with different pools, login credentials, uncertainty whether you will get paid, and whatnot.
- Timely and courteous service. Given the fact the pool is operated in US with its high cost of living, the fees collected would not permit to hire anything more than part timers, and it is quite possible that even that might be a stretch.
Paying extra 1% to get all of the above is a complete no-brainer to me. Keep up the good work @ipominer!
