Title: Scrypt Alt-coin pools list
Post by: SkyStation on January 05, 2014, 07:06:03 AM
Hi,

http://pools.youcrazy.me (http://pools.youcrazy.me)

Have setup a website that lists pools of different scrypt based alt-coins (will do others later) that I hope will also be useful to others. (if not gives me a place can go to find polls I want anyway).

Updates hourly automatically, lists hash rate when pool has an API can use and if not pool gets sent to bottom of list.

Has come about as I like mining a range of different coins on the equipment I have but have found finding a pool very annoying, many lists of pools are unmaintained with some dead servers and usually only contain the pool URL (before using a pool would like to know hash rate, payout type, fee, etc).

Obviously needs a fair amount of work, specially to make it look pretty and adding more pools (there is an add pool link if kind enough to help out), but focusing on code for the moment.

The idea is to use API calls to update pools hash rate/info and also use that to detect dead/down pools as well to automate removal of dead pools as much as possible (and why pools without API end up at bottom, more work to check them and they get penalized for that).

Would like to hear peoples thoughts & any suggestions for features that could be useful.

Regards,
Sky
