With all that's been said I have to say it's a good interface on this pool - if it had any anti-hopper setup at all (even a rudimentary one like deepbit has) then I could see people using it.

He hasnt said anything about shutting down or changing payouts at this current time.. if he wants to change the payout system he will need to create a block and pay out accordingly.. otherwise he can just let the pool run and wait until it finds a block.. thats all.

You would need about 10,000 BTC in reserve to properly operate a PPS shop.

This isn't about whether you as a pool make a profit, it's about your miners getting ripped off.


No, you pay a lot to pool hoppers and very little to 24/7 miners who support your pool.

Take a look at the bottom of this webpage: http://organofcorti.blogspot.no/2012/09/23rd-september-weekly-pool-statistics.html

The two bottom charts show the pool hopping going on at 5 pools with vulnerable reward systems, "proportional" and "scored proportional". See how the hashrate is much higher for the short blocks than the long ones that take a lot of work. This is pool hoppers ripping off the 24/7 miners on these pools.

There's no excuse for these pools to still be running these reward systems and letting their miners get ripped off. Please don't start another pool like that.

Greee, everybody is mocking you. Your payout strategy is highly flawed. This should be your #1 priority (all other features don't matter in comparison). Read the pdf linked above by Graet to learn more.

tl;dr: Don't use proportional payout. Ever. It has severe, crippling flaws.

PS. Sorry pool-hoppers  

$estReward = $totalShares/$totalPoolShares;
$adminFee = '0';
$estReward = round((50*$estReward)-(50*($adminFee*.01)), 8);

I'm even going to be awesomely nice and update all my rigs to 2.8.0 so I will hit you with GBT on all my rigs instead of killing your GW.

Yeah, that 43% is mine! All mine!  God help you if you try to change the payout method in the middle of a block.

Grats on the fact that you pool didn't just explode when I pointed my farm at you.  I am impressed with that at least.

No offence man, but how much research did you do into payout systems before you chose the most exploitable one?

Awww yeah, it's like Christmas all over again.  Got 500 GH/s coming your way... at least for 42% of the time.
