Hello,

I knew it wouldn't be easy starting a new pool, but I don't know what's going.
What do you expect from my pool?
Are there any features that you want to have?

I really would appreciate some feedback .

regards, talpan

NO RACIAL SLURS IM BLACK DUDE......I JUST TRY TO SELL SHIT ON CRAIGS LIST AND PEOPLE ALWAYS FROM AFRICA TRY TO BUY IT WITH STOLEN MONEY.

If only it was that easy! It also would be a lot easier if fees were a fixed amount per transaction, as grue believes, instead of per KB, but that's not feasible.

The whole problem is that tx fees are added on top of the withdrawal amount. The user's withdrawal transaction proceeds without warning even if the amount+fee is larger than the user's account balance, which depletes your reserves. They just end up with a negative balance. The fees are unpredictable and can be very large - I'm talking 30% as seen in others' posts - when made up of lots of small inputs, even if the inputs are old. You can't charge them the fee if the withdrawal is of their entire balance. Neither can you only allow them to withdraw a small amount at a time because that just compounds the problem.

Those sound like the famous last words of the Debian OpenSSL package maintainer.

So, developers, what's the solution if...

1. You run an exchange where your clients have accounts in your wallet.
2. A malicious client / competing exchange operator makes many small deposits to his account.
3. The malicious client withdrawals all of his money at once and the huge fee gives his account a negative balance, which eats into your reserves.
4. He opens a new account and repeats the process until you're bankrupt and owe your other users their bitcoins back, which you now don't have.

Will any of these solutions work?
- Patch to pay no fees and only allow withdrawals of bitcoins with > X confirmations.
- Institute some convoluted system that disregards small deposits.
- Patch to estimatetxfee and subtract that from withdrawals before sending them.

Or what?

Well, whatever are the details of all this, none of the devs seems to care even to talk to me about this.
So i find this extremely suspicious.
I wonder if some (or all) of them didn't invest heavy money in mining. After all, who would want to intentionally decrease their profits ?

for real? woah.

With how stupid the CRTC is acting, You need Canada Post. They are that fastest, cheapest way to move large amounts of data across the country.

Since finding out my ISP has said they will start injecting advertising in the browser, I have been using Canada Post for out-of-band communication. Since I have a bad habit of reading fine print, I can't use any electronic transactions except Bitcoin for ordering things over the Internet (so use mail for that too).

A few years ago I had an AMD processor catch fire.. It can happen, more likely it'll be a problem with the power supply, but as long as you have a smoke alarm and insurance, you'll be fine
