LUXCoin - BSOD Pool official statement In order to figure out the present we need to look at the past. As it so happens, history of BSOD Pool started with LUXCoin: we've created our first pool for it, our brightest memories are related to it. Our participation in the life of LUX can't be underrated: we were there for LUX during difficult times, during turning points, we worked with LUX team developers hand-to-hand - completely free of charge and on our own volition. Many times we've been helping 216k155 and other developers.
There were months when we had 0 miners on BSOD, similar to the current situation on some other pools. And so what? Did we retire? No, we've been working hard - both on ourselves and on pool stability to gain miners' respect and trust. Therefore, in time as a result of our efforts and due to some other circumstances our pool got the highest network hashrate. No matter the reason, the fact is that miners trust our pool and mine on it. It is their choice.
Consequently, LUX Team has removed BSOD Pool from their pool list and stopped recommending it for mining! They made this decision without talking to us first or trying to resolve the issue some other way.
Nevertheless, miners kept on coming to our pool, and this fact was unacceptable for LUX Team - and this is completely within reason. Their caution is justified and cannot be questioned, as having 50%+ nethash on one pool we could cause trouble (fork being the least of it). But why would BSOD do it?
One way or another, the members of LUX Team started ambiguous campaign to lower the amount of miners on our pool. Some miners in Discord have supported LUX devs by spreading FUD and discrediting our pool. How are we at fault here? We are always open to conversation, never refuse anyone, always helping anyone who needs help and this is what we get! Think for yourself, even 4 hour long ISP problems that we have experienced didn't turn miners away from the pool. We think it does say something.
Now the question of pool fee is heavily discussed, and there is an opinion that higher fee will help spread the hash better. Very well! We are compromising again and meeting LUX Team halfway.
Starting from April, 21st we are increasing LUXCoin fee from 0.9% to 1.5% due to LUX Team and community demand, with one condition: if the pool hashrate falls below 35% of nethash, we will bring fee back to the normal value.
We do not want to offend or hurt anyone's feelings by this statement and we apologize if you perceived our words differently from how we intended. We sincerely love and believe in LUX same as you, but we can't sit quietly when pool and our miners get offended, that's why we ask LUX Team for cooperation in stopping FUD about the pool and if any conflict arises contact TheBSODPool administration directly, you do have our contacts!
