Haha. Well, if I were to do that, which I am not, the pool would start out at 30Gh.  Should I start a pledge post? I think we can amass 120 gh/s (1.4% of total hashing power) which would give us a block every 12 hours and put this pool near the top 10. Just you and I puts us at 50 gh/s alone. It would be a great benefit to mining for this pool to be successful and it's really due for some serious support. |

I still think some more development needs to be done to make the setup and use simpler. I also don't see a reason for the .5% fee if development work is not continuing.
What needs to happen to get this dev work done. A bounty maybe?
Completely agree, setting it up is a big obstacle for adoption. A downloadable client with a nice gui setup would simplify things a bit. forrestv does seem to be continuing development, he made a change only two days ago in github. I think for the amount of work he has put into it, 0.5% isn't asking for much. |

Honestly the only way I see p2pool or similar concepts taking off is if someone who has a private farm decides to point that hashing power towards it. Someone with say 20GH/s could more than double the hashrate which would make it more attractive to others.
I'm going to point all my miners (20 gh/s) to this pool this weekend. I love the concept and I'll throw all my weight and support behind this pool to help it get going. If we can get a couple more big time miners (anyone know of any?) to mine for this pool we can hit 100+ GH/s and this pool can really takeoff!  |

Correct. Anyone who has one right now can't modify their signature or they'll lose it.

I think the new foum policy is stupid. Care to elaborate (emphasis mine) ? theymos (administrator) disabled images in signatures. |

How do you verify that a pool has good security? And by security, do you mean whether your money is safe with them? Pooled mining largely depends on the trust people put in pool operators. You should, no doubt, only mine at pools that are well-reputed. It's fairly easy to read up on the comments about a certain pool in this forum to get a feel for that pool's integrity.
I mean security from hackers. Little things like do they have https, address locking, email notifications. Of course, nothing stops the operators themselves from taking your coins. |

Can anybody tell what's in the "exclusive forum section"?
It's nothing to get too excited about. A forum where less than twenty people have access isn't used that often. |

Could you have been banned as part of a botnet or something? That's the only explanation I can think of where you would be singled out specifically.
I was only mining for the site less than two days before I could no longer connect. Figured it was just down and moved elsewhere, but still tried to login to transfer the coins out. I was doing 10 Gh/s with 32 GPUs, so I don't know how that could look like a botnet. |

See if you can reach it through a proxy. I can reach it fine.
Using a proxy does work. I've tried a couple different computers on my network and they can't load it directly. Not sure how else to diagnose the problem, I've never had this happen before. |

I'm completely blocked from accessing it on my end. Weird. |
|
|
|

Haven't been able to access the site for a couple days. Anyone know whats up?
|
|

Nothing about security? I think that should be a high priority for everybody.

I sincerely wish we would have made it to release before someone mentioned us on this forum.
 Launching a website and asking for pre-orders didn't help. |

Initially this went on unnoticed, but then Thursday two users notified us of suspicious payments in short succession.
I actually noticed it much sooner. Not having the payout history is a security flaw in itself and prolonged the attack. I noticed immediately that something was wrong early October 29th, but either thought the pool was down, the shares were not being calculated correctly, or my balance somehow got payed out automatically to my wallet (I didn't check, I was busy). I never even considered someone else was draining the account. But, with no way check where the funds went, I didn't say anything, and the attacker got five more days to steal people's bitcoins until November 3rd. I highly suggest keeping payout history for everyone, allowing quicker discovery of a hack. On the bright side, hashing rate has returned back to normal. I still think this pool is the best around, and it's only a matter of time before it'll be in the top 3 (BTCguild and especially deepbit are hard to shake). |

Would they really throw grandma in to complete the scam? The photos provide quite a bit of legitimacy, but I'm holding out for a trusted reviewer until I'll call this thing legit. |

* Come to an agreement with you guys on how to handle the missing BTC.
I know you guys aren't rolling in cash, most pools are in a negative cashflow as it is, so any percentage of the missing bitcoins that are reimbursed is more than I was expecting to get back anyway. |

 60.36150826 BTC total for both accounts to an address I don't own. I guess it was bound to happen. I finally lost some bitcoins due to theft. I never used automatic payouts, it has nothing to do with that. edit: added more info |

The requirement has been lifted during for the coming week.
When exactly? Starting next week? |

Uh, fella! All sampling inaccuracies aside, do you think those numbers are simple variance and there was no new power added to the network after the difficulty change? That it went from 12% down to 92% up in a couple hours?
I can't picture hundreds of people waiting at their computers ready to start mining right at difficulty change. |

the problem w/ btc is that normal ppl cant steal it, so is very hard to get into that market, so what the ppl steal? well chewing gum, chewing gum are used like currency in country's like Romania -on the same way cigarettes was a currency in Germany or now in jails- so if chewing gum is currency it is stolen, some will stole from the super market come will stole a box and the professionals will take a truck is so awesome that ppl use alternative currency also buy bitcoins the price will go up way up I'm scared to look through your 500+ post history. |
