Title: New bitcoinpays.com pool looking for beta testers
Post by: Craig on June 19, 2011, 11:05:29 PM
New pool in early testing.  LP, proportional, 3% fee (for now, may change when I can cover server cost).

So what's different about this pool?  That's up to you!  Join up, give it a try and let me know what to do to make it better.  More data, charts and graphs, API, other new features - I'll consider all reasonable requests.  Please chime in with ideas or feedback.

Signup, add a miner and point to bitcoinpays.com on port 5000.  Note that there are almost certainly bugs here and there, please let me know if you find one!

Cheers,
Craig

In light of the recent security trouble at some other sites, I thought I should share a bit about our information security practices so everyone can make an informed choice.

The BitcoinPays web interface uses HTTPS throughout and all account passwords are individually salted and SHA-512 hashed.  In the case of a compromise, this provides a reasonable level of safety from brute force or rainbow table attacks.
