Just added PopularCoin.

Hi All,

I just wanted to let everyone know that we're back online (with a crappy website, only until the designers finish their coffee break) after changing the way we do things and are no longer profit switching / auto-exchanging, but rather, providing a service to the community and allowing miners to simply mine your coin of choice.

We've already added a good number of coins that we feel are in need of another pool (or an initial pool!) and are looking to add more as we grow!

As before, we only take in fees what we state so nothing more than 1%!

We could use some help to make the pool grow so please throw whatever you can at us (metaphorically of course).

If you are a coin admin with a good coin and need a pool, just let us know and we'll do what we can to help!

Good stuff.

Hi All,

Just wanted to let everyone know we've added Soccer Coin to http://www.altcoinspool.com/

All payouts will happen via the respective coin!

I just wanted to say hi to the miners of this coin and let everyone know that our site now has some basic stats on the home page.

Payouts will happen every 24 hours and we've dropped our fee to only 1%.

So far this coin is super easy to mine with low hash rate and the exchanges where it's available are also pretty good!

Thanks.

Could you do me a huge favour and check your wallet for your actual payout and let me know exactly how you feel that compares to the other pools ? I'm curious

Thanks again.

Alt.

Thanks Kokal. Thanks for everything! Especially the support.

I didn't want to mention this earlier but now that we've stopped the mining, I'm actually going to pay out every single user in our DB (there's only 25 anyway).

The point is, we are personally going to pay the 0.0001 BTC transaction fee and provide everyone who ever mined with us, their profits. No matter how small.

We're already writing the code for the new system so we hope to help out the new coins ASAP and you'll see me back here then

Hello All,

Due to the lack of interest in our pool and the lack thereof in demand for a highly available pool with the world's most advanced DDoS protection, we have been forced to shut down the service as we are unable to continue to fund the server costs.
 
There is already a large number of well established autoswitching, auto-exchanging pools available online so we're going to step aside and let them do what they do.
 
Our plans are to instead, return in a few weeks (if not sooner) with a new product that will more greatly assist the community. We plan on building a new pool that will no longer autoswitch but will instead, provide a range of ports to mine newly developed coins that are not yet available on other pools.
 
We feel that this will better serve the community and will assist the developers of these new coins build their user base.
 
As it has always been, our goals will be:
- High availability
- highly scalable (starting small and growing as the userbase requires it with little to no downtime)
- HONEST AND FAIR! (as we have been and as the stats clearly demonstrate!)
 
We are still going to be here, answering questions via all existing methods. I will still be answering emails and would love to hear your thoughts on our decision, be they good, bad or otherwise
 
For now, We will stop the pool tonight to allow user's cgminers to fail over to your backup pool.
 
We will not perform a final payout until ALL coins have been exchanged. We don't want to keep ANYTHING and will be sending EVERYTHING on to our users.
 
Once all coins have been exchanged, a payout will occur and the website will be put into maintenance mode.
 
Once our new site is launched, we will be back here looking for coin devs we can assist
 
With warmest regard for each and every one of you,
 
Alt (shiny bits)

Hey mate,

The stats page won't update until there are confirmed BTC at any of the exchanges. I'm actually going in there now to find out what's going on. You'll notice on the homepage that the graph will show you unexchanged BTC balance.

Since we do a payout around midnight each day (Sydney time), the stats are delayed during that first hour after midnight (now).

Sorry about that and thanks.

PS, this should help you with your RAM issues:

-I 20 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 32765 --gpu-engine 1005 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 50

If you still have trouble, drop -I to 19.

Right now, I'm just laughing at your estimated payout...

0.02812493 and 0.01964586 respectively.. That's more than double your previous payout so I believe Congratulations are in order for us both.

I'm still working on the profitability calculations because when those high Mhash users hit the pool, we need to only select coins with a higher difficulty.

Please let me know what you think of your performance on the pool today and thanks again for your support (tell your friends!)

Thanks Kokal,

Yeah I'm not sure what happened but there were two users with 50+Mhash between them.. I think they jumped in to test it out but didn't stay long enough to get the most benefits

As I've said in the past, Our pool is great for pool hoppers since they leave the blocks they've found behind for others to share. Since we use PPLNS to calculate profits, those blocks left behind are equally devided based on shares submitted so as long as others keep mining, their share in the profit goes up and the pool hopper's profit goes down

We've enabled a few extra coins and the profitability calculations seem to be working great. Today especially is looking good.

I myself just purchased 2 R9 290s and have them on our pool.

Look forward to seeing the results of your efforts tonight.

Due to the massive spike in hashrate (10x increase), I've added a new bar to the BTC Balance graph on our homepage to show users what the current immature BTC estimate is accross all wallets on the server!

We are performing a payout now to users who have been mining up until this point so stats should reset.

I hope we manage to bring in some good profits to all the new users who just joined in the next 24 hours!

There seems to have been a fork in this coin.

Lost a bunch of spots coins..


Fail.

This is truly nerve racking!

Last night, we completely rewrote our profitability algorithm so we no longer rely on ANY external site. Everything now revolves around the coins we have enabled .

It's been good today but we've spent the past 8 hours working on making it better and still have a few hours to go! I hope we can get you some decent results for both your sake and our own.

I would love to except all our code relies on the exchanges having an API that we can communicate with. This communication is how we add the total of all BTC produced, how we prepare our payouts daily, how we confirm that the alt coins have been received etc.

The API also allows us to take full control of our coin trading, allowing us to execute trades autonomously.

Unfortunately, none of the exchanges that PRC are available on, offer an API so it's not at all integratable.

If you have any other suggestions for coins though, I would love to hear them. Today, the team has come up with a plan and our own algorithm for calculating profitability WITHOUT having to rely on the multiple third parties we currently use. This will mean that we can simply add ANY coin we feel is profitable and as long as it is supported by one of our exchanges, it will be mined .


We really appreciate it and hope that it is as rewarding for you as it is for us !

Both Block explorers are now down.

What's going on ?

We now have CHE enabled on our pool and are mining it! ALL CHE will be automatically exchanged once the coin hits the exhcnages on Monday!

Please help our pool grow by mining with us!
