Hello, as I mentioned on dstm's thread, I am willing to join your pool, and it looks alright so far.
But if you could, please simply the API, the hashrate as number, I don't know what it is, but is way off... Like 50000 times the hashrate, which means I would have to estimate the hashrate from it. The hashrate as String is no fun reading as it requires string parsing.
For starters, all it needs is the current and average hashrate (real number) for the whole address, and the same (current and average) for each worker.
Then you might need to implement the immature balance, as it will stop people from raiding the pool.
Also there is a spelling error in the API documentation. Stats appears twice.

We will push an update this Friday. I will ask our devs to adjust that for you. Very nice comment!


The pool receive an update today in the stratum job manager. We found 2 blocks since the update. Nice job or luck ?  ;D

Use the 'Law of large numbers' and you'll know it ;)

@gurupool
I have been mining for a while on your pool, but during the last update looks like all my shares have been wiped out... Well that was a "fun" experience! Too bad I was on the losing end of it...
You can see here my payment from the previous rounds, my submitted hashrate for the last part of today and all my shares in this round have been deleted!

The update was difficult. Our first live. All the shares were recovered during the reconnection of your workers. If yours did not recover PM me your address. We will compensate.

Nice to see you here DSTM!

I'm fine, I give up on your pool, the API is insanely difficult to process, and looks like it's coding is not very good, for example in one place on the homepage the hashrate is in milihashes/s (m = mili; M=mega; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_prefix#List_of_SI_prefixes) and in another place it's in kilohashes...

Update.

v1.1

- Estimated reward per miner in ZEC
- Outstanding confirmations for a block
- progress details of current round
- Sols/s has been replaced by H/s
- Luck has been replaced by Blocks / days
- Blocks / days added to the header
- Search (T-Address) now works on tablets
- Added a unit of measure to the difficulty
- Blocks confirmations and payouts 3x faster

The API update will come in the next days. We are agree that normaly we need to use an uppercase letter. But Zcash miners talk like that and it's important for us to follow that.

Update.

v1.2

- New Rewards tab in the details of each miners

OK, I went back to your pool to try to recover my shares... Looks like it worked, but it's still not right! Again it's saying I have 0 shares for the current round.
And on a smaller note, the graph looks really bad.
Regarding the m vs M take a look at Flypool, which let's say is the reference. They are displaying it as M.

This pool look fine to me. How can i mining with random server which have the fastest ping, i mean it change server randomly each hours to get the fastest server.

Dude your pool has been super unstable. What is going on?

I wasted 5 days of mining without getting any rewards and even lost 6K+ shares that just dissapeared. I contacted them via Facebook and email and didn't get any response, that's why I moved to flypool this morning but will definitely try this pool again in the future.

Im calling this pool owner scammers until im paid out my remaining coins!!!!! >:(

I guess this Pool is dead, to bad i liked how it worked they didn't get much from me when i saw no blocks being found but the hash kept going up i stopped mining there ....I'll come back if  i see it do something ..like find blocks when the hash goes up .

We're back in service
We've resolved all of the challenges we faced related to stability and added a few perks along the line. The ride shall be buttery smooth from now on.
We hope you enjoy your stay with us:
