edric, here are my two octo cents: get the text on the lower part and use white on the font, it will go better  Also, in the upper part, find some font more close to Dune's typo and write a catch phrase like: " On this coin, you will profit. We have seen it ..."  (yeap, another Dune fan here ) Keep the light shining! How bout this! Might I stress again how bad of a graphic artist I am... |

And how awesome that we've been listed on Cryptorush! I'm definitely holding on to what I can for a while to see what happens. Had to sell some to get ready for server bills coming up, scraping together everything I can so I can keep everything running! My birthday is coming up at the end of this month, I was hoping I could actually get myself a new GPU, as I'm stuck with a Radeon 4350 (yuck), but that ain't happening. |

MEGAman, thank you for the appraisal, then. Mind you that I didn't claim to be an expert - those are your words, not mine. As to being educated of these matters, I think it's always more profitable for everyone that those that do know find it in their best interest to help others into that knowledge - unfortunately, you don't seem to be in a such a mood, at least for now. Perhaps another time? As to being plain wrong or mistaken about my conceptions on mining dynamics, chill out  , it's my problem, not yours - I have been on p2pools and on edric's pool, you see, so my insights are purely empiric. I did read on it, but actual hashing carries other facts and no matter how skewed and biased they might be, they have provided me with a maximized payout of my low hash power. If you care to take notice, here's some basic math that guided me on to this: 18% of 88 = 15.84 , whilst 1,5% of 10x88 = 13,2 (you see, 1,5% was the average share I was able to get when I was on edric's pool - of course back then, the hashrate was quite higher than currently). So, I might be better off in a pool that finds blocks 10x slower, even if your are right In the end, what matters is the health of the network, so edric's pool is most welcomed, as any other pool that is able to be stable and available, and all of them require miners to do so. As I said before, keep the light shining! There's always someone coming your way if you do So, my thanks to Octocoin, edric and you, MEGAman, and all other miners and pool operators that keep this coin going. I'll enjoy my profits, even if they'll be meager than what they could have been if I had taken other choices EDIT: edric, just saw your post now. Keep it up, bro, you'll get in to profit land. Choosing other coins like Octo isn't easy, because their not much I won't advertise another coin in this thread, it's basic politeness, but you can PM me and I'll tell you what other choices I would recommend I appreciate everyone's kindness, it's uncommon to find people these days who can have differences of opinion yet still get along nicely. My sentiments exactly on the network being healthy. I think some pool ops have the "if you build it, they will come" attitude, which is correct to a certain amount, but I want to build a reputation for delivering excellent personal service as well as having an operational pool. That's another reason I don't want to go nuts with this whole thing, but yes, it's tough squeezing a few pennies out of this endeavor. I'm trying to come up with a logo for my pools as well, but I suck with photoshop. My forum name and the names of my pools (as well as in MMO's and such) is all Dune related, so I came up with something that I thought looked kind of cool. What do you guys think? Might could do with a little smaller resize...  |

edric, it's funny how they didn't shred your tk link on sig Better update it, though , since you're using another domain now  As to pump your ash rate, well ... you do know that some pools are 0% fee/donation only, right? Competition is tough, but its necessary. You need to find yourself another competitive advantage (the 25% giveaway isn't convincing, I'm afraid). I'll be glad to move my meager 600Khs over, but not at a loss, sorry bro. Keep the light shining! Yeah, it's pretty tough keeping your head above water when running pools, I hate charging a fee, but unfortunately a necessity since I'm just starting out in the last month. I like to offer some type of incentive to mine with my pools, which is why I do the giveaway, but I do agree, there needs to be something else. If we were a big pool, the 25% could be a pretty substantial reward up for grabs. We will get there one day, like you said, keep the light shining! I'll change my link in my profile now.. Honestly, forgot all about it, been very busy behind the scenes. 0.5% fee is ridiculously low. Even if your pool was free, people would still think they were doing you a favor mining there. 0.5% with a 25% giveaway? That's basically nothing - if anything, people mining at your pool should certainly be donating on top of that for the service you provide instead of considering it a "fee" - people are so damn greedy. You've had an awesome pool that has been bumping since Octo launched, you've been active, you've been updating it as you went along. Man we should be so lucky to have somebody like you running a pool for us to mine at. I hope you add some other high quality coins as well because you are my go-to guy. You have to pay for servers, domains, maintenance - people underestimate the value of a quality pool that isn't dropping shares and whatnot. Those percentages on the blocks page mean nothing if the shares are never making it into the database due to lag - FusionHash and edric have offered the best daily returns of any of the pools and I've tried them all. Sometimes you get what you pay for and at 0.5% you aren't even paying much. Plus a 25% giveaway? Crazy. Most new coins have launched pools charging 2% - 3% fees. I really appreciate you and everyone else for sticking up for me here, I do try my best to provide a quality service at a price that I feel comfortable charging to people without being overly greedy. I do understand, however, that many people look for different things when deciding where they're going to send their valuable hashes, and I hold no ill will for that! That said, I can see some of SilentBit's point, while I try to be as altruistic as possible and offer my giveaways and as low a fee as possible, I really question how effective that is at attracting miners. We really need things to be jumping this week if we're going to offer up a fat giveaway! Like you said though MEGAman, servers do cost money, and right now I'm running everything straight out of my pocket. I think, though I'd have to crunch some numbers, my pool may have recovered 1/4-1/3 of what I've spent. I am planning on opening pools for some other coins, very soon, but I'm not like okaypool or others who open a pool for every coin in existence, as I do not have the infrastructure to support that and am not ok with things running half-assed because I'm overworking my machines! I don't have any plans to abandon 888, so I'm hoping for a bright future and a rekindled interest as the rest of you guys are. Once again, I thank everyone who has been kind enough to give my pool a spin and hope you'll stick with us in the future! |

If we can get the pool at http://888.fedaykin.us back to ~80MH, I will lower fees to back to 0.5% in an effort to show my gratitude. I've been glad to be a part of this thus far and looking forward to a bright future! Don't forget about our weekly 25% giveaway! We can only have a prize if we have miners, though, so come in and mine! |

i need pool.
Come mine at 888.fedaykin.us! Please read about our stratum server, it's 888US.fedaykin.us:3333, use that for mining. In other news, I think I'm going to take down the Singapore stratum server, with our hashrate in the dumps right now, it's not economically feasible to keep it going. I don't think anyone is using it anyway, but if anyone is, please switch to 888US.fedaykin.us! |

What's with all these "Brokn Ngrish" speaking people constantly posting shit, suk, crap, fail, etc, Grow up & Learn to translate ENGLISH Properly !
It's just an idiotic attempt at trolling, nothing more. |

DNS is changing now. http://birdcoinpool (dot) tk is moving to http://brd.fedaykin.us. Please update your miners. Old URL will be forwarded.
Thanks everyone for your support! May many birds fly into your wallet!

Well, DNS propagated pretty quick.. Everything should be good. As far as I can tell, the dot tk forwarding is working just fine for my miner too.
|
|
|
|
The DNS change for http://octocoinpool (dot) tk is about to take place in a few minutes! The main site will be located at http://888.fedaykin.us, the stratum servers will be 888US.fedaykin.us and 888SG.fedaykin.us. In case anything goes wrong during the switch, please use 192.241.241.127:3333 for mining (US stratum). I'll set up forwards from the old names to the new ones, not sure if it works with stratum though, so be on the lookout!
I thank everyone for their continued support of my pool!

Huh.. My sarcasm detector is working today! 8 satoshi... crazier things have happened.. My druggie ex wife made me sell most of my BTC not long after it came out and was worth 50 cents! Heads up everyone, http://[Suspicious link removed] is changing domain names tomorrow to http://brd.fedaykin.us. There may be a little downtime while I switch DNS servers and forward the old domain, if so just use 107.170.77.175:3333 to mine. I appreciate everyone who has supported BirdCoin and Fedaykin's Birdcoin pool! comn on ~~~  Suspicious link removed.. The system hatin on my free domain names.. http://birdcoinpool (dot) tk |

The winners for our first weekly 25% giveaway have been chosen! And I forgot to post it here immediately after  Congratulations to n0xblade, who takes the first prize of 693 888, and our runner-up, boobslayerxxx (haha cute name) winning 346.5 888! Payments were dispatched immediately. Tune in next week for another giveaway! The pool needs more hashes, guys! More miners equals bigger prizes for you guys! Don't forget about our domain name change tomorrow. http://octocoinpool.tk is changing to http://888.fedaykin.us
Main site: http://888.fedaykin.us - Stratums: 888US.fedaykin.us:3333 (USA) & 888SG.fedaykin.us:3333 (Singapore). In case it becomes unreachable for awhile, use 192.241.241.127:3333 for mining. I will set up the old domain names to forward but I don't know if that works for stratum TCP traffic or not. Anyone know? |

I was awake a while longer and looking around for "dice" scripts and crap, and just found nothing but a buttload of scams or people wanting money for ripped off scripts (with plenty of coded in scams), so I went digging around on github for a bit and found some stuff.. I'll post more later but this one caught my eye, it can be easily modded to work with BRD, for fun! https://github.com/ripper234/Bitcoin-Potato.gitIf anyone has any gambling or gaming scripts, we need some games up for BirdCoin, and for 888 as well. I could probably sweep off some server space somewhere if we need a game script hosted, gotta be verified clean though! |

Don't forget to mine with us at http://octocoinpool.tk for your chance at our 25% giveaway tomorrow! We'll be doing it every week but we're looking for some other kind of promotion to offer as well! Also, forgot to mention, since blocks went down to 88, the pool's promotional .5% fee has ended and is now 1%. I honestly hate to do that but you would be surprised how much of nothing we're making! If anyone would like to donate to add to the giveaway fund and to the server fee/replace Edric's broken GPU fund, it's all appreciated!! 888: 8SEk9vK2cEVtHU2W568rVqTPgKMU9gk7Tc |

I don't understand! I have a 1.1Mh/s miner solomining BRD and scored 70 blocks today. Hashrate is low, DIFF is low. Why use a pool?
Because Edric needs brd too :b God, at 1 satoshi even, if I had a good miner, this would be a decent little earner. I still think it can go to maybe 7-8 satoshi if we could get in a decent exchange. It wouldn't hurt to PM Bittrex-Bill here on the forums and see if it's possible to get in there. This coin may be little and holding on for dear life but we are holding it together. Getting it in a good exchange would probably be pretty good for it. Honestly, though, I'd be nice if my pool would be 15-20MH during the night, and die off during the day so diff falls back off, and as long as tons of people and Multipools don't rape it, we got us a small little monopoly here :b At first glance you'd think our network was dead, but it isn't.. Sleeper coin. |

Hey everyone, just reporting in.. I've been gone since about 5PM yesterday and just now got home, some family stuff. Before I left yesterday it was brought to my attention that some users (AOL mainly) were not receiving password reset emails in the event they lost their password.
I am going to hold off most likely until Monday to switch our DNS around, so as not to cause any problems. The frontend is through Cloudflare so I believe it'll be cached long enough for DNS to do it's thing, anyway. When it's nearly time for the DNS changeover I will report it in here in big green letters, and I will add an announcement on the site as well. I'll shoot for 6PM CST Monday.
I apologize for running late with the 25% giveaway! I'll do that tomorrow afternoon and get the prizes sent out! I think I'll do it like my BirdCoin giveaway, and split it into two pieces, the winner getting 2/3 of the prize and the runner-up getting 1/3. Remember, to be eligible for the drawing, you have to have mined within the last week and received at least ONE payout to a valid address. When I generate the winning userID's, I validate them for eligibility against the payout logs. If the first number drawn is either myself or an ineligible user, I will repeat the process until one is found, then move to the runner-up. Good luck!
I've gotten a fix in place for the missing emails but it is going to cause issues with my Gmail, I'll start hitting daily send limits and emails won't get delivered, my box has a billion messages, etc. Can someone recommend a decent free email service to set up with that doesn't have any limits? Apparently just sending out emails from my servers without using SMTP only works for some email addresses, but using gmail's smtp is making every mail that goes through my server show up in my box now.
Ugh, a simple post always turns into a wall of text and I'm half asleep. Nite guys.

i lost my password for hashing.at and the password reset feature sends me a wrong link!!! how can i retrieve my password? hopefully this is not a scam pool and running off with all freshly mined coins...  Tell me your account in PM and any other details about the issue. hashing.at is running multiple pools at the moment and I`m not running anywhere with your coins ... If you have a problem, there is a contact form on the site, please use it. Also you can send me PMs here. Regarding the payout, I have explained couple of times that there's a bug which will get fixed shortly. Please have some patience, thanks. Sorry if that happened to you.. I know new coin launches are tricky sometimes for us pool operators. If your experience with hashing.at isn't satisfactory, please come over and try http://pcn.fedaykin.usI'm always on top of any issues that may arise and the users of my other pools can attest to that! If you wanna steal "my" miners, at least post your link correctly haha! Yep, it's been one of those days. Can no longer type. |
