I really value your support during these days. I'm thinking of some kind of special reward for people like you who are supporting the pool from the beginning... Something like "Founder member reward", awared with... options:
1.- Awared with % of pool FEE.
2.- Lifetime 0% FEE
3.- Share you ideas please. Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks
Search this and other forums for users with XVG 40-50Gh/s hash-rate power and arrange with them some kind of direct payment no meter on pool's results in first week or two.
When we find first block(s) all others will be payed through mining results. I don't have problem to mine few days without any rewards if pool succeed as you described but it's very important to see progress in day by day at least in hash power increasing. Otherwise you will lose even most optimistic miners. Next 24 hours will be crucial for me to see are we making progress or not.
Regarding awards options, if you succeed, just keep REAL 1% pool fee and I will be satisfied. If you not, probably I will leave XVG mining and will use some other coin for dual mining.
