No, I don't think that's very normal. That is a over 3% rate. I mined for about a week on this pool & had ~3000 invalids but only after half a million shares or so. So that's about 0.5%.  |

Well, if sourceforge is such a puppet in the U.S. government hands, i say take the client out of there, because it doesn't seem the right place to be hosting it.
This. People in Iran are not "bad". They are normal people who want to live their lives. No reason why they should suffer because of the things their government does. I don't think it sits well with the concept of bitcoin to host the client on a site, which blocks certain people in the world from downloading it. Every single person in the world should have equal access to the client and blockchain regardless of their location. |

Is that a namecoin block or a bitcoin block? Not relevant for payouts apparently, just wondering.
|

If I am way off here please tell me.
No, you are right. People who sell their BTC for paypal are plain out stupid. They have been warned so many times yet people fall for it. I for one have no sympathy anymore. I'm not even replying to PM's that have the word Paypal in them. Still getting a few of those every now and then. You are selling a non-reversible commodity, so take a non-reversible currency in return if you value your money. |

Definitely a tempting offer. The best at the moment, in fact.
Manual/instant payouts possible from account balance, or only upon block discovery?
|
|
|
|
|
An academic institute or intelligence service testing the network?
Nothing else can explain the sudden gigantic increase in hashing power ~6 months ago.
It would be too much work to set up for one miner (not to mention vastly unprofitable to run only for 1 week & disappear)

The only people defending this are the people who signed up for bounties as moderators etc...
I have yet to see a 'regular' user recommend ixcoin to anyone
Everything about this reeks of a desperate attempt to pump&dump, then withdraw everything and watch the currency collapse

Would you guys be willing to show the buffer amount you have for the pool within your stats page? Is there a reason for not having this transparency?
Also, I don't see a found blocks page. Do you not show when you find blocks?
I guess these things are not absolutely necessary to run a pps pool... but the more transparency the better.
Tbh it doesn't matter in pure PPS as long as it keeps paying.. Found blocks are irrelevant to the miner There is no info or blocks to withhold, miners just agree to submit shares and get paid for them.. In this case even stales He can keep whatever surplus he gets & there is nothing suspicious about it. Unlike prop or *mpps pools, the found BTC are not the property of miners, but rather profits of the operator who can decide what he wants to do with them |

How exactly is the ARES better than the 5970? I believe the 5970 basically is two 5870 chips on one dye?
PS: don't be too harsch if this seems to be a stupid question to you
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-ares-radeon-hd-5870-crossfire-4gb,2685-2.html5970 has lower memory clocks + the 5870 cores are underclocked to 5850 clock rates. Ares is the superior card of the 5xxx lineup because it's two premium 5870 cores (which overclock exceptionally well) working at their original clock freq's, & they consume less power than two individual 5870's. It also has robust VRM's which allow for some crazy voltage bumps. You can push this card even further than a 6990. It's mostly an engineering sample though, there are only a thousand in existence just like the MARS card. Theoretically the best mining card available, if not for the pricing ($1200 at launch and still goes for about $800-$1k boxed) |

19.5 Ghash/sec.
Very impressive. I had peak ~22ghash online in June, and had to pay way more ($2,400) during that time. Was forced to scale down a bit after the price drop. Seems like electricity is a bargain where you live. |
|
|
|
|
Heh, over 100ghash/s in less than two weeks. At this natural growth rate you would be the 3rd-4th biggest pool by next month.
Your model is totally eating up the market share of stone-age proportional pools

Can't believe people are really wasting GPU cycles on this let alone paying for something which will never have any utility.
(Besides 'Nasakioto' who mined nearly everything within a few hours & hands them out as bounties like candy)

Where are you guys coming from... much more likely KGB or the Chinese equivalent..
think about it..
I thought about it. KGB or the Soviet Union haven't existed for decades. Bitcoin was released to the public in 2009. |

I wouldn't pay more than $450 for one.
It saves a PCI-e slot + OC's better than two normal 5870s or a 5970, it's easily worth at least $600 bucks But not $800 which it seems to have been sold for |
|

Agreed, without a bot it is very annoying, same thing with buy orders.
Mt. Gox should at least let us define a threshold which we are willing to be flexible within
(for example: Buy order = all BTC within $13.252 to $13.331, or Sell order = all BTC within $ 12.521 to $12.445)
If you are buying or selling a lot I think it will matter more that you get the bulk of the order done quickly
rather than every little fraction of a cent of the original order price.

for 700+ to 800+ , why not someone just buy a HD6990 insitead of 5970
6990 are out of stock and can't be found anywhere. Even newegg removed it from their inventory because the demand just can't be filled. Tigerdirect sells it maybe once a month in batches of 5 cards. |

for some people 5830's are too weak.
some need to have 800mhash/sec per pci-e slot. Lol@8 6990's on 1mobo vs 8 5830's
it's the density. that is all
But it just doesn't make financial sense.. especially at the depreciating values of the tech and instability of the bitcoins... 5970's first retailed at $699 2 years ago (2009). Today a used 5970 sells for $700-$800 on eBay. In fact here is one with 39 bids, which is currently up to $900 dollars. http://cgi.ebay.com/MSI-ATI-HD-5970-2GB-DDR5-2X256-BIT-/110726138419?pt=AU_Components&hash=item19c7caca33#ht_2954wt_1295Depreciation? They are worth more now than they were years ago. People with small mining operations just don't understand the massive benefit of 2 high powered GPUs per 1 pci-e slot. When you add a lot of them, the savings due to not having to buy XL-ATX motherboards, new power supplies, cpus, RAM, are massive. |

Today we introduced to our pool support for ixcoins. Currently difficulty in ixcoins chain is pretty low. So we can mine a lot of coins  What is the point of wasting GPU cycles on something, entirely created by the owner of the blockchain, to attempt enriching himself? It offers *nothing* bitcoin doesn't, it has zero incentive for adaption, all the easy coins were mined & are being distributed like candy on the forum Plus the owner is under a pseudonym (by a surname that does not exist) & using a photo of a japanese actor called Hiroyuki Sanada. Identical to BTC down to the supposed japanese author and front site At least namecoin has a purpose |

This is why good will doesn't work, except in the form of small faucets.
Unknown people will instantly come up with ways to monetize your 'charity' or even plain out steal from it, or make it their regular income through proxies and decaptchas.
It's a generous idea but all it does is attract scumbags. People who genuinely visit the site every now and then will never get anything.
