Bitcoin Forum

Hey all, come join my mini-pool (and in doing so start your own!) & let's make some Bitcoin!

Triplemining (https://stripes.triplemining.com/register) is a BRAND NEW mining pool, and has not found any blocks yet however there are a number of very good reasons to mine with them:

Whatever your hash rate, all current pools give you more or less the same results. But Triplemining (https://stripes.triplemining.com/register) offers you the opportunity to triple your results by way of a clever 'minipool' system. As soon as two of your friends or referrals (with equal or superior hash rate to yours) join you & mine with Triplemining (https://stripes.triplemining.com/register) too, you increase your BTC mining income dramatically (note: your friends do not need to have a higher hash rate than you, but the higher the hash rate - the more you make).

With Bitcoin mining, rewards are commonly based on your pool hash rate, mining difficulty, and luck. For this reason big pools can be depressing, especially if your hash rate is not that great, while small pools with a streak of bad luck can leave you feeling frustrated. Triplemining (https://stripes.triplemining.com/register) addresses this by allowing YOU to bring together a medium-sized pool with no fees together with clever redistribution of 1% of every block found, to allow your share to grow more rapidly than on any other bitcoin mining pool!.

How do they achieve this?

For every block found, they redistribute 1% of the profits to all minipool owners (people that have 1 or more friends or referalls mining with them) - that's you! The redistribution is passed onto the shares found by your friends, not yours! So if the hash rate of your friends equals or is bigger than yours, your part in the redistribution will be equally bigger!

There's also a Jackpot you can win! For every block found this jackpot is increased by 1% of the total taken from people who are not part of someone else's mini-pool. Once a week the jackpot is paid-out randomly to the finder of a block, provided they are actively mining when the jackpot is drawn! By doing this Triplemining (https://stripes.triplemining.com/register) is virtually 'fee-free'.

If you're not convinced yet, consider this:

Statistically everyone has the same potential chance of finding a block. Its like a lottery - the main variable is time. However, the other factor is 'hash rate' - you can improve your 'luck' of finding a block if you increase your hash rate. But that means new hardware right? - Wrong! With Triplemining (https://stripes.triplemining.com/register), you have the opportunity to increase your hash rate by adding friends or referrals to your very own 'minipool'! In addition, your Bitcoin mining can also be rewarded with their weekly Jackpot. So in a way, the fact they are small and new is good news is in fact a further bonus.

Jackpot Bonus! - Launch Special

From June 29th through to July 8th they will distribute 0.5 BTC through their Jackpot every day, irrespective of whether blocks are found.

If you are looking for BETTER REWARDS and BIGGER share participation, Triplemining (https://stripes.triplemining.com/register) is the way to go.

I'm surprised that people are trying to create a mining pool with a pyramid scheme. Well, I guess I'm not that surprised.

Pyramid schemes require investment, go down multiple levels, and eventually implode upon themselves when the money runs out. None of these things apply to this pool.

Firstly, the only people in my pool are those that sign up directly under me. They are free to go on and sign on as many people as they like under them and I have no interest in it at all.

Secondly, IMO theres no investment or payment required to enter the pool.

Thirdly, people are free to join and leave the pool if they choose to do so with no loss whatsoever.

I think 'Networking' is a more apt description ie: The pooling of resources for mutual benefit. It really is just a pool within a pool.

A lotta errors on the site, can't even login.

It seems like there's no money required to join your pool. But in reality, the "cost" is the lost earnings of the 1% of the 50 BTC found in a block.

This is just like the pyramid emails I get where they ask me to send them $100 and then I can forward the email to 3 of my friends that will each give me $100. The people at the bottom of this pyramid scheme will always lose, because they won't have friends to help them make back the 1% they are losing out on.

Anyways, just my take.

The site is brand new and the owner has a lot of work still planned for it. Did you get a verification email after you registered? If so, and you've clicked that all I can suggest short of emailing them is clicking on 'lost password' and try a new one?

The 1% you refer to is redistributed to the pool by way of an incentive so I dont see it as a cost.

And anyone can get a friend or referral to signup and anyone can sign up a large pool. Add the benefit they get from that, subtract from that the 1% cut their 'missing out on', & they are still way out in front. The idea of this pool is not so people lose money but to increase their return and I fail to see how I (for example) may get 4 signups, and one of my signups gets 10 referrals, and I'm somehow better off than him when I get no 'flow on' return from his referrals??

Wow, you are right, there was an infinite redirection loop... Big sorry and fixed ...

You are right in some form, but when the pool grows the weekly jackpot wil be 5,6,7 or even 10 BTC. This is way more then the 1% you could possibly make. (Also, pools like deepbit take 3% without returning anything to the pool)

I would like to confirm what Oldminer said before, that it is no real piramid. If you are below me and you add friends, i will have no comission on that.

Please feel free to give any other remarks as i'm doing my best to improve the site for optimal user experience.

Great! Where do I sign up to get the free miner hardware and electricity?

Quite shocked you're actually posting this right above the original Triplemining thread....no real point in this really :)

lol I posted it in the 'discussion' forum but it got moved here  :P

LOL.

MrSam, it's true that it's not a full pyramid scheme. But it's still a 2 level pyramid scheme, where you benefit from all the people you got to sign up under you. Pooled mining is a zero-sum game. It's about how the 50 BTC (minus fees) are shared among the miners. Other pools share this 50 BTC bases on shares or score. Your pool adds another twist where 0.5 BTC is only shared among minipool owners. Because it's a zero-sum game, in order for minipool owners earn more, someone has to lose out. And the losers are those without any friends.

This system (like any other pyramid scheme) will collapse in time. In the beginning as people are joining your pool and getting others to join, they will see that they are making more with your pool than other pools. As your miners are able to find less and less people to join, the non minipool owners will realize that they are not benefiting b/c they are not minipool owners (they can't find people to join under them). Those miners will quit the pool. Then their minipool owners will find their mining to be not quite as good and they will quit. Sooner or later, the whole thing will collapse.

So let's get in on the ground floor then, lol.

I like the front end. The colors are soothing, and the start-up bounties are unique.

I joined using Oldminer's link.  Oldminer, can you tell us how the "my pool" page looks with a miner in it?

I don't quite agree on you, not all money is shared along minipool owners. They are only rewarded by efford of their 'friends'. All users that have no parent will donate their % to the jackpot, that can be won by anyone (top or bottom)

The idea of the system was to get more people by the jackpot, not perse the 'pyramid' as you name it, so even people with no minipool still have better odd's on this pool than any other, and therefore i don't see it collapsing.

The my pool page currently only shows the names of 'friends', i'm working on a 'control panel' that displays performance data of 'your pool workers'.

The people not giving their 1% to the jackpot shouldn't be able to win the jackpot! Otherwise, one will effectively earn extra money, over time, if they are a mini-pool owner, and the rest lose out on their 1%, as even those not donating to the jackpot can win it!

You are reading it wrong, %1 of 50BTC is taken every time a block is found. Some of that is divided under people who started a mini pool and the rest goes to the jackpot.

So everyone is allways participating.

It is offcourse in your best interest to convice people to join your minipool, but if you don't and you 'solo mine' you still have the chance of winning the jackpot.

Keep in mind that there are currently only 28 people mining so your chance is 1/28 to win 0.5 BTC, that's not so bad is it ? :)

Oh, that's good :)

hey welcome aboard,

Yea I kinda like the colors on the site too. Not to harsh.

And yea I can see you Pandaminer in my pool list which shows me headings of - Username, Speed, and Date joined. Under that I can see individuals hash rate which is great :)

MrSam, how often does the hash rate 'update'?

Mrsam,

can we get current (and previous) rounds 'duration time' added to control panel?

thanks

I will say it again. This is a zero-sum game. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_sum_game)
If someone in this pool (minipool owners) has a better expected value mining in this pool than otherwise, then someone else (non minipool owners) must have a worse expected value. Not everyone in this pool will benefit! No matter how much the jackpot is or how enticing it is, there still an expected value for it. And for non minipool owerners, that expected value is less than 1%.

mrsam, can you add 'current & previous round duration' stop/start times in Control panel please?

would love to see this aswell :)

Nice arguement except it all falls apart where you claim people will suddenly be unable to find anyone to join under them LOL. What are we suddenly not going to have any new miners? Has world population growth suddenly stagnated? People no longer being born?? Or are you simply saying the exponential growth in internet use we have been seeing since the turn of the millenium has suddenly stopped? Which one is it? In this respect, your arguement is flawed.

Just accept the fact this mining pool offers some cool incentives which the pool your a member of (or operate) doesnt.

Thanks to everyone thats joined my pool - all 12 of you. Not a bad effort considering I only signed up myself 36 hrs ago  ;D

To everyone else thats not joined yet - come on over to TRIPLEMINING (https://stripes.triplemining.com/register) - kick off your very OWN mining pool and earn EXTRA REWARDS for your efforts!

So it sounds like the 1% shared/jackpot is in lieu of a pool fee?
If so, then there isn't really a downside in comparison to a pool that takes a 1% fee.

But since the jackpot can only be won by a worker who found a block that would reward those more likely to find blocks, ie. the higher hash rate workers. So in essence the pool is re-distributing the fee typically taken by other pools to those that contribute the most by either hashing more, or bringing more workers in.

Unless, I'm wrong and there is some additional fee taken by the pool I don't see it being a bad arrangement.

the jackpot is distributed to any random miner who is mining at the time of the jackpot, regardless of hashing rate.

As long as you're active on that given time, you can win the pot.

Jackpot fell at: 09:31 (GMT)
Winner of the jackpot: PandaMiner


any pandaminers around here? congrats ;)

but does a miner that joins a minipool somehow benefit, even if hes the lowest level?

Everyone benefits. This isnt a pyramid scheme. Look at it more as 'networking' (ie a pooling of resources).

The way it works is you come in and you start your own pool. Who is 'above' you is irrelevant. Sure your contributing toward their pool, but those below you will be contributing to yours.

sure i get that but why would anybody join my minipool?

just try to promote that they help you and they help themselves :) it's the truth.

Yes, I believe there is.  I woke up to a nice email this afternoon.

And you signed up as "bitcoin" lol.  Nice referral address. ;)


I got two in my mini pool, but they never sent a hash over. I wonder if they couldn't figure it out, or just didn't like the front end?

Ive got 15 in my pool and currently 2 are mining. Of the others I notice a few of them come on and mine for a while then stop.

My theories to explain this are:

1. Unlike me and others here, they dont mine 24 x 7.

2. They couldnt figure out how to start

3. They didnt like the front end

4. They werent really interested in mining but were just curious as to what were are doing (perhaps some of them were pool owners themselves)

I do however think we need to streamline the instructions a bit for those less technically inclined. I had no problem figuring out how to register, create a couple of miners, and configure my guiminer, but then Im a techo. I think theres quite a few people here that need to be led by the hand. Perhaps we could include step by step guides with pictures?

Btw for those in my pool I've changed our pool name to 'Oldminer' (another pseudo I use on the 'net is Stripes). Out of curiosity, because I was one of the first starters, and so didnt join an existing pool, what do you guys see in the frontend? Is it just a list of miner names and hash rates like I see?

 aahh thanks for confirmation that Pandaminer is real and exists;D

People see in their account only the members below them, they don't see that they are part of your pool ..

Ah cool.

For me this is very bizarre as well :/ But i do agree that we need a good visual step by step guide.



[/quote]

@oldminer ; possible no. 5.) their hashrate is less than 1MHash/s and they dont show up as active [i don't know if this is true just thinking]

I'm wondering if people might be of the mistaken impression also that by simply registering they have the chance to win the jackpot? Might be worth clearly stating somewhere (perhaps on signup) the terms of being a candidate for the prize?

you do have to be mining on the actual timing of the jackpot though, just idling on the site won't get you anything :)

Well yea and I'm wondering if people dont generally realise this?

Btw, we're pushing nearly 13 GHashs/s - nice effort for a pool thats only a few days old  8)

Here's a snapshot from my pool (for those interested). Its really starting to take shape  

Minipool information

Pool name: Oldminer
Your current speed: 610.84 MH/s
Your pool speed: 486.77 MH/s
Combined speed: 1097.61 MH/s  8)
Pool size: 16 members

And this is with only 3 of my pool members mining - Come on get onboard guys!

Those are some awesome stats tbh :) Currently got 2 other pool members in my pool but they're offline atm.

Triplemining is taking shape! Loving it :)

Updated the site : https://www.triplemining.com/pool_stats

Dude, thats awesome

Heres what I'm seeing under the new heading:

Pool name            Speed                  Users

Team bitcoin   1655.95 MH/s           6
Team Oldminer   1135.78 MH/s           16
Team Anthrax   567.9 MH/s                   29
Team eyecon   143.17 MH/s           5
Team PandaMiner   138.39 MH/s           2
Team Awesome   76.35 MH/s   2
Team Krokodill   42.95 MH/s   8

Whupaaah

NEW ACTION

Minipool exclusive: To thank our minipool owners, and reward them for their efforts, we have decided to payout 5 BTC to the first Team that reaches 5000MH/s before July 7, 2011.

Hey mrsam can you change the 'minipool' heading to 'my minipool'?

Also would be good if the heading we currently have selected was bolded?

And how's the smartphone friendly site coming along?

Changed minipool back to My minipool, looking to bold the current page.

about the smartphone, it's hard because i keep on working on the main site .. :P

Hey no problem - the main site is the priority :)

Did you see https://www.triplemining.com/pool_stats btw ? On a roll here :P

Yup, see my post 6 posts above this one ^^

Looks like we've have had an influx of new miners and about to hit 16 MHash/s too

Looks like Team TheKoolio just scored the 5BTC for 5Gh/sec

Yea nice were @ 20G Hashs with 80+ miners  ;D

hey my team just broke 5 ghash :D Happy days

Out of interest is this block going to be of an older difficulty or this current 1.3million difficulty?

How will the reward be paid out to me or split between my team, when can we expect to receive this payout?

21 now :D


it was obvious someone with powerfull rigs would go for the prize pretty soon

Yeah, good for Sam, good for the block, but not if Team The Koolio leaves before our 1st block is solved.

Yea was thinking that myself. I mean whats to stop them hmm..

We need MrSam to lettuce know what's gonna happen. I know the jackpots are instant (personally speaking ;)) but this bounty should be sent AFTER the block is solved, or after July 7th as stated as the contest end window. IMHO.

well the promotion did not specify anything about having to stay.. just said which team can do 5Gh/sec first gets the 5BTC

I know. :-/

maybe the pool could offer a further bonus to Team TheKoolio for staying until a certain time, or until the first block is solved for the pool?

Hmm well it does say payable to the team "that reaches constant 5000 MHash/s before July 7, 2011' so does that mean up to and including 7 July? I guess its a matter for mrsam to work out..

"constant" is tough to define in this case, they have been constantly over 5Gh/sec for more than an hour now..

The reference to July 7th sounds like that's when the offer would expire

i dont mind staying at the pool i just want my initial reward as promised

I'd feel the same way!  You go some mighty hashing going on. Help us find the 1st block!

Wow dude , very good job!

I'm sorry about the confusion of the payout, you the 5 BTC is being transferred to your account right now. (i was sleeping)

I do know it would be very much appriciated by me and the other users if you stick around a little longer, but thats completely up to you.

Cheers!

my est. reward went down from yesterday, I guess thats because there are more miners and a higher network hashrate now?

that's correct, mine is constantly dropping but i dont really mind :)

whoaa

just had a Platinum harvester   move in:

Team TheKoolio   8255.89 MH/s  :o

yeah, i conviced hum to stay a little longer ! big thanks to the guy

its all good, ill stay till the blocks done. Hopefully its not too big. Please make sure your hardware is coping though, just had issues with the btcpool24.com connection, for a few hours still not fixed, so please make sure you can handle it ;)

great news

btw not sure if your aware but a link in your sig's not working..it just shows a placeholder - points to https://www.mineco.in/images/sigs/122.png?1308450901

... there is an error in your siggy.  Looks like you ran out of characters, because the closing color tag got 2 char chopped off. I suggest you just remove it, be cause apparently, you don't need a closing tag in your siggy if it's the last thing to close.

Anyone want to take a guess on when we're going to find our 1st block?

Im betting within the next 12 hours

can't take that much longer really, its a bit luck dependant atm....

i'ld say by 6 PM we have a block :)

Err..did we find our 1st block:

Round information
Shares solved this round: 6966
Your current speed: 558.35 MH/s
Shares solved by you: 255

 ???

I think we just found a block :) !

Yea I thought so. I'm curious to know who found it :)

alright, now lets see how the oayout goes :)

Paging mrsam to this thread

I know who found it ! :)

An extra 10 BTC is payed out to the block finder/

 Also i would like to ask you to wait a few minutes more :/ we are successfully processing the payments but the script is slower then expected (has to go over > 600.000 rows).

Once the script is finished (i guess in 3,4 minutes) you will see everything in your account. We are allready working on a faster version of the payout script, so next time everything wil be instantanious.


I want to thank everyone for their participation and congratulations to all of you !

Okay, the script is done and everything is in your account page.

Nice payout.  ;D

Great! ;)

Who found the block?

woohoo we got the block! Number one! Number one !

let's get that second one then shall we ;)

who got the block solve bonus? was it me :p? ive left the pool for a few hours as finishing off a current block i already undertook on another server but will be back over!

in my account it still says payout is pending:

We found a block and are processing your payout, DO NOT PANIC, everything will be payed out !
Balance: 0 BTC
Rewards that needs validation: 0.38886114 BTC
Bonus from friends that need validation: 1.046E-5 BTC

Block 134362   IMMATURE   50.0075   6 hours ago   668796    Needs 67 more confirmations

all is good but who solved it?

Only Sam knows that atm. For some reason he's not announced it yet. Maybe waiting for the block to confirm?

yeah that would make sense waiting till confirmed

So will there always be a bonus for the one who finds the block, or is this a one-time thing? I'd like it if the finder gets a bonus every block, although not quite 10 BTC. Maybe 1 BTC or something. Would make things more interesting.

maybe im blind... i didnt realise that there was a 10btc bonus 1st block lol

Not sure but I'm pretty sure Sam intends to offer new rewards and bonuses as the pool grows.


Well you know neither did I  ???

I think Sam should have promoted that more. Might have got a lot more new starters.

First Block Party: so it's a fact, our first block has been found! To celebrate, we are giving away 10 BTC! The only requirement is that we reach 50 GHash/s before July, 5th 2011 and keep it up for at least 24 hours.

    Everyone can participate, minipools and solo miners.
    5 BTC will be distributed amongst everyone by counting the number of submitted shares (starting today July 2, 2011).
    5 BTC will be distributed amongst the TOP 5 minipools, 1 BTC for each team.
    The extra reward for the minipools is paid out to the team leader.


More information on https://www.triplemining.com/pool_stats

50 GHash/s will be tough, but we can do it!

in order to get a further 20-25ghash in 2 days you're going to need a lot of promotion, otherwise the site is good, you just need to make people realise you're there

http://i55.tinypic.com/1o0ieq.jpg
http://i51.tinypic.com/33ynk2c.jpg

Ohh yeeeah.

That's where i have YOU for ! :)

now im jealous :P

wish someone would join my minipol too!

Very nice.

How many TripleMining threads are there? sheesh!  Might have to start my own. :D

You sir, are awesome !

If we want to reach 50GHs we might have to take over the entire forum ! :P

Just throw together a quick signature image, and the referrals will just roll in, as long as you're active on the forum so people will actually see your signature! That's all I've been doing.

Yeah, and try not to copy someone else's banner. *ahem* Be unique. *ahem*

i'll admit i copied CNMOH's signature for my signature, and i'll gladly give kudos to him for it :)

Either way, it's a sharing community, and it can only benefit the pool.

25.89 Ghash/s atm, halfway there!

I don't mind, although I'd appreciate if you uploaded it somewhere else. You're directly linking to the image in my Photobucket album, which has limited bandwidth :P

LMAO.  It was my idea to copy the header and make it into a banner, but at least CNMOH used his own version, and host! :p

changed the host as we speak, sorry about that ;)

hi mrsam

would it be possible to have our mining pool members that are not currently mining (ie that show a zero hash rate) listed in 'date joined' order with the most recent at the top?

cheers

Working on it as we speak, so i will first sort them by speed and then by joined date

Yea thanks also any eta on the mobile friendly site?  ;D

Done, i will look into other ways of 'sorting' and maybe hiding users and things like that later.

New features:

- Changing your bitcoin address now locks your payout for 24 hours
- Account page now displays 'transactions' and 'payouts'

Keep on minin! :)
Mr Sam

Good work Sam.

When sorting, i think it would be good to see the shares by each team member, so sort by:
Current hashing speed, then shares, then join date.  Then have the option to hide zero shares members.

Whoop whoop 2nd block :)

Can we get the name of the user also listed that found the block/s?

I'm not sure if that is information that matters ?

In future evens we might give bounty's to block finders, but for now they stay anonymous.

Not sure it matters either, but other pools have that info. It would be nice to know, at least which minipool it came from?

Here we come guys! Jumping from 8th to 4th 3rd spot!

Oldminer & The Blockheads

 ;D

 

Moving from #15 to #7!

#7 Team Awesome Gold digger 2139 MH/s 13

We are teh AAAAAAWEEEEEEEEEESOOOOOOOMEEEEEEEEE :)

Man its like a sprint to the finish line all of a sudden  ;D

We could still hit 50 GHash/s by 5th July

it's still achievable, only wish i had more to throw in but i'm stuck with my good ol'  Nvidia card ;<

I had some folk jump mini pools. :(  Most of their hashes, anyhow.

#3   Oldminer & The Blockheads   Gold digger   4582 MH/s   50

 ;D

I'm seeing #4    Oldminer & The Blockheads    Gold digger    4041 MH/s    53


BITCH !

meh, temporary setback..gimme an hour or 2 to start that harvester up again...  8)

mining shananingans? burn that evil harvester! its a WITCH i tell you !

I have 1.5ghs that i will dedicate to your minipool if you pay me 1btc.

i guarantee i'll have it running until the next block is found.

plus it'll put you into 2nd place

Still getting intermittent connection problems mrsam :(

yea same here, having connection problems to the pool

i know guys :/ i am really working on it

I've switched to my backup pool while this is taken care of.  I cannot be home monitoring my rigs all day long, sadly.  Be sure to make an announcement once all is well, Sam.

All is well!

I am truly sorry for all the problems this may have caused....


Everything is fixed and we are now drifting toward the 60Gh/s range :)

Hmm, has anyone a good way to test a site using android emulator or so ?

( Triplemining mobile site ;) )

http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/mobiready-mobile-friendly-websites/

http://www.gomez.com/google-adwords/gomez-cross-device-website-compatibility-test/?gclid=CIrL067w66kCFU0OHAodbj-4ZA

what's up with this third block? it's taking twice as many shares as the second and first blocks combined!... just unlucky? or has triplemining been lucky and quick until now and it is averaging out? curve of graph will be backwards, GH goes up and solve time increases?

(this is why I don'y go to the casino any more  :P )

Hey mrsam

any chance you could change the 'Round started 1 day ago' to hours instead of days?

Changed .. Up to block 3

Hej guys,

"Zhora" is now alive and kicking on the forum (yet limited to the newbie section for now) and will help you guys out with any questions you might have about actions,incentives or events.

You can currently find her here : http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=26457.msg331262#msg331262

Please feel free to contact her in case you need want to organise something specific to convice people to join your pool.

You can call her your personal minipool account manager :)

sry to bother you mrsam but im still having connection problems

Not a problem at all, can you show me the output of your mining client ?

I'm not seeing any issues at this side :/

And I still haven't gotten any connection problems at all :D I wonder why it happens to some people but not to others. Must be some correlation somewhere.

Since i have no issues either, it must be related to the penis size :P

im using GUIminer the only outpuit i see is "problems communicating with bitcoin RPC"

just tried deepbit, thats qworking fine so it must be something specific with triplemining

Hahahahaha, I actually laughed out loud when I read that :D

Clearly, this must be the case!

Okay, let me check.

Yeah, I'm having intermittent issues.  So I changed to backup until today.  Now my freaking FIREFOX is cutting my everyday PC's miner from 210mh to 64mh and slowing down my cursor.

still cant connect to the pool, same error as before

Hmm, is this location dependant? I am in the UK, close to Belgium, and I haven't had a single disconnect since I joined near the inception.

The errors you are getting are not from triplemining ...

Can you test someting out for me ?

Please open a dos prompt and do ' ping eu.triplemining.com ' and paste me the results ... Thanks !

I live in Sweden, and I've never had a disconnect either. I think we may be onto something.

For the record, my traceroute gives 21 hops, all under 43ms ;D

edit: now deepbit is also starting to show the same error.. no idea whats wrong

Trace complete.

Why did you add the "1" in there? eu1?

anyhow, my pings are avg 140ms, and my trace was 19 hops.

I didnt add it, it was added automatically the command was ping eu.triplemining.com

That could be quite a bit of fun, actually.  In fact I created a game where we can place a few small wagers to keep us entertained until the block is found.  You can check out the game here (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=26857.0).

And telnet to the port works as well ?

I tried doing a microsoft telnet... "open eu.triplemining.com 8344" but can't seem to connect. But my telnet experience is limited, I might be doing it wrong

Looks like you guys at Triplemining have been stickied in the mining forum as being spammy:
http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?board=14.0

I agree that there are way too many threads on the subject. *looks at oldminer and mrsam*

But we are not spamming our links. It's just in the signature part, and images are allowed to us with at least 50 posts.  Granted, I was the first to use the TM header as my banner. Then it got copied, and now it looks like all you see is the robots in space.

I hate how Diablo says it's a scam.  No, it's a 1% pool. Nothing wrong with that.  Just that if you have a minipool, you could get your 1% back.

In most places I go online (not btc related) they abhor referral links, especially when in the post body. (ie: not just in the signature)  This place is no different.  First it was TradeHill, then Bitcoin7, and now TripleMining.  At least you don't see many-a-thread about TH/B7, so they are not in the forethought around here.

I wish Sam and Oldminer and that other guy who wrote the help thingy, would close down all but 1 threads.  It's hard to find "official" information on the pool. Maybe we can merge them.

I know, how awesome is that ! And i tought that sticky post where for top 10 pools only :)

That's only in the sub forum POOLS, not main forum MINING.  hehe
