I'll give you credit in the aspect of trying to start a pool. But its clear you still need to do your homework. Look at a pool as a Bank. Would you Bank with someone who didn't understand how the current economy works, or the backbone of the system? You said if yourself your a newbie. You really need do a bit more research my friend. As for people calling you a scammer etc. Get used to that. Bitcoin is full of paranoid folk, but rightly so. Its very easy to try to scam people without harsh repercussions in this world. Paranoia is justified here Smiley

Good luck to you regardless.

Absolutely agree - I never ment to come off as know-all be all - and I think you pointed that out.  This was a Friendly introduction followed by Paranoia acting out of threat.  No doubt I need to read more - no doubt I don't know it all.  But my lack of specific knowledge isn't cause for paranoia lulz.

I disagree with the bank theory.  As with gold mining - there are inherent risks.  The more you work with people - the more you trust them.  If you point a finger and call fraud and scam without any proof - that sir is unprofessional - would you trust someone working with you like that?  Will you be next?

I understand the miner / pool relationship is co-operative, not oppressive or controlling.  I would have hoped the other "Seasoned Admins" (ya know - like 1 year) would understand that relationship.  I am a miner as well as a Pool Op.

I keep an open mind and keep thinks fluid as the Phreakz grow in size.

Ok - so PPS is not Proportional Sharing.  Thanks.  I've updated the website to fix my error in verbiage.

And honestly, operating a pool is hard work and trying to do it without thorough experience with Bitcoin, mining and pools is just asking for trouble. I think the past 2 months have taught us that what Bitcoin needs is not more entrepreneurs, it's more people who know what the F they are doing.

I've got 2 decades of experience running and starting from ground up a successful ISP (back in 1998), programming Facebook applications (>500K likes), and all other programming languages.  I've Done Sr. Systems Admin for Goldman & Sachs among others high rollers.

I most definitely fit the "know what the F..." but I might be light on dictionary meanings of bitcoin... I'll get there no doubt.  Experience is the best teacher.  I've read about it - now time to put into practice.

I see Inaba has an angle of competition - so I can see why he's critical of me.  But I need that to stay on my toes.  I'm an IT Army of one.

Hi I'm Icepick and I'm a bitaholoic.   Tongue

I really started getting into the bitcoin a few months back... I knew about it at the first of the year - but didn't look into it.

Now I'm doing business in trade for bitcoin and I find it the most effective way to ignore the government.

PPS - yes Proportional Payout sharing...  yes - I have done lots of reading and testing... Yes - I'm not afraid to fail as there are some strong feelings here that I might.

I think everyone is pretty much a noob at this - it's less then 5 years old - at 5 years - you'd be professional.  I would say that none of the pool server out there now have ran one before they set theirs up. Sure there were some things they had to figure out - that I must also.  but again - it's not the challenge I fear, or the fear to fail - it's the fear itself.

Yes - it will be a lot of work as all great rewards are hard work - I don't plan on setting it up and walking away from it.

but thanks for your vote of confidence - it's well taken Wink

I don't have all the answers yet - that's because I'm a n00bie.  PPS is pay per share.. so if the block isn't finished then there is nothing to share....  or I just don't understand the criticism.  I have setup a test server running on my home network, with the bitcoind set to test network.. I've tested and retested the billing end of the software and it seems solid (till it breaks)

I'm not afraid of confronting any problems, and solving issues as they arrise.  The server I have has been used to host profitable websites for the last few years, it will remain up and running for years to come.

I have enough bitcoin to cover losses as I start, so don't sweat that.  I'm in business to stay in business. so everyone gets treated fair.  I answer emails and questions - and I'm on the site most of the time.

Buddypress is a type of website software - mainly used for social gatherings.  it's a spin off of WordPress.

Thanks for the questions!

Yes, I'm a bitcoin N00bie.

But I have vast system admin experience.  I've setup a new bitcoin mining pool.  I put it under buddy press so there is a social aspect to your mining enjoyment.

I added a TOR hidden service so you can connect to it completely anonymously to either view your stats on the web page - or mine right over TOR, just configure your TOR correctly - then connect.

It's a shameless plug from someone who just got here - but here it goes.
