Mining pool's earning depends on how well you code the back and front end having, reliability, trust and fast hardware. Some pools do charge a fee for their service, around 1-3%. If you design the pool well and have stability, you would have high earnings as more people would mine on your pool. Mining pools aren't that easy to manage, you need good customers service, nice looking and smooth UI, fast servers. If anything happens to your pool, you would have to solve them within a short period of time. Successful pools code the whole server themselves instead of getting a ready made back and front end.

mining solo is the way to go.  cause u get 25 BTC in one big swoop.   

I wouldn't know about mining pools, as I tend to veer away from such topics, but honestly, to establish credibility, you'd have to interact more with the community. That establish community cred, and then to establish trustworthiness, you have to help others first, instead of asking others to trust you. You have to trust others to pay you, before they'll be willing to pay you before you provide a service.

if u're asking this, please dont ever make an exchange website, it aint for you

Free - https://github.com/btcexch1/ecoinstrader

If you were thinking of buying some software and installing the website, wallets, databases and transaction engines all on the same server, think again.

I can tell you that just the cost for DDOS and IDS/IDS protection for a financial web application start at upwards of $2,000 a month for one site. You need at least 2 sites that are geographically separated for disaster recovery. That doubles the cost to $4,000/month minimum just on protection. On top of that you still need to pay for the servers and software. 

You have two choices:
1) Become a world-class programmer
2) Pay Alphapoint $200k and 40% of your profits

Good luck!

I would advise against beginning an exchange without prior knowledge and education. If things don't work out it will become a disaster. We have seen it happen before, more than once...

For the site owner probably.

lol'd. Solidsmart, before you are able to get any jobs, you have to prove your worth. People are much more likely to offer jobs to reputable members as opposed to new members without a portfolio

Hi no limit on speed we have pools with over 50ths of sha and 5ghs of scrypt.

If you don't have money, or skills, or an original idea... don't expect too much success.

Somebody was selling a cryptsy clone on this forum the last week or so, and it could be something open-source on github, but if you want to setup an exchanger you need some technical skill I guess, or alternatively hire someone. Also clones tend to have all kind of problems if you have no minimal programming skills to fix them, as far as I know.

if you dont have programming skills then having a web business involving holding currency should not be something you should choose. for thse reasons
1. you may lack the programming skills to audit the code to know if any backdoor exist
2. if there are bugs you may lack the skills to patch the holes
3. if you dont know how to program then your experience of running a internet server may also lack
4. you sound like someone with limited funding/experience. which is not good for running an exchange.

these days its best to have someone with proper financial experience, that doesnt want a cheap set-up purely to profit from as that is the neon signs of a mtgox scenario.

if you do manage to surprise everyone by being a well known person that has great experience in finance and programming and you are going to do it.. do not buy a piece of software off the shelf. you WILL need to employ someone to program AND maintain it. you will need atleast 3 servers to maintain a proper secure system and alot of bandwidth and guaranteed electric supply.

its not going to be a cheap $200 software package.. think $10k+

He is paying 0.0035 max per week for 50 posts. That will get you to 0.014 for the month.

Lol votes... do you think u're the first one that had the idea of creating a scamcoin? It's a business, and probably not a very profitable one nowdays. Too much clone scamcoins.

Better think about building an exchanger. All you need is user's trust, trusted exchangers are a rarity because manies turned out to be a scam.
