Just one question, according to your site

Quote
For the month of July we have a 0% Pool fee. Proportional Payout,
First Miner to get our first block wins a 3 Bitcoin Bounty.
Optimal Performance - less than 0% Stale Shares!

For the bolded part, does this mean that you will credit us with more than 1 share for every stale share submitted? Otherwise, I don't see how you can promise less than zero % stale shares :D

Hi Xephan,

The most stales we have seen have been 0.008%

No we do not credit stale shares, our system is very finely tuned and this is how we are achieving such a low stale share rate.

Thanks

So you ought to correct that falsehood on your site :D
Doesn't look very credible when your advertising is blatantly wrong ;)

What are you talking about?

-1% is less than zero
0.01% is not less than zero
0.000000001% is still not less than zero

Technically stale rate cannot be less than zero so claiming that you have less than zero stale rate is either a silly mistake or deliberate fake advertising. Which one do you prefer to be? ;)
