I'm testing it and for me no problems, auto withdrawal every day, emails when your workers are offline... good so far

I don't understand, what are the strange things?

Hi!

Given all the news about fork and contingency plans, what is this pool going to do in case of fork? Run only Core, support BU, or new projects like BitcoinEC?

Exchanges already have contingency plans in place, have you already decided what to do?

Not sure if asked already, but in case of network split, which chain will this pool mine on?

[...]but implying the pool could pay them sounds the same as saying the pool fees are high.

Not really, and pool does not pay them, it gets them back with the extra space on the next block. It's basically like this:

(To make things simple, lets say tx is 10kB, and the lowest tx fee of the last block per kB is 1mBTC, thus tx fee is 10mBTC)

- Pool pays for tx fees, i.e. 10mBTC
- On the next block, there will be 10kB more space for transactions. Thus, the block will be worth ~10mBTC more, that will go to the pool.

Pool fee stays the same, rewards for miners stays the same... but earlier!

Note: for this to work the tx for the payments needs to pay the same price per kB as the lowest paying 10kB of the last block (since it will be more or less the same as the next one, and its data already available) This amount is not gonna be 0.

Where is this coming from? O_o I didn't say anything about high fees, why this random invitation to mine somewhere else?

O_o

Not really free! By mining this transaction, since the space is limited, we are not mining other transaction(s) that would increase the reward (opportunity cost). Thus is the same thing to pay the fees first and then "get them back" on the next block. Same for pool and miners, but miners get the reward earlier!

Hi all!

After some days testing I have to say I like this pool, seems to me that its well managed, transparent and cares about the well being of the network (no spv mining, and other things that escapes my knowledge)

Two suggestions:
1) Sending the payments once the block is mature with a "normal" transaction (i.e normal fees). Those fees can be deducted on the next block, to not harm pool fees. Also, since on the next block there will be a little more space for transactions (since the 0 fee transaction for payments its already sent) there will be a slight increase in tx fees recollected so for the miners will also be about the same economic result, but earlier!

2) In the payments page, state witch payments are already sent for easier tracking.

Cheers!

Hi!

I'm giving this pool a try, seems pretty transparent and nice so far.

One quick question, using the same address as anoymous (user name) and as registered user (payment) could generate problems?

Cheers!!

Not yet for me
