 -The email address on your pool account
 -The email address you want your prize sent to (if different from above)

Thank you to everyone that participated.  Stay tuned for the next contest...

Anyone that hasn't checked out con.pooler.org yet, come on over!  Do you know of any other pool admin that is charging 0% fees and giving away prizes like these?  I don't.  Take advantage of 0% fees while they last. I can't possibly maintain this craziness forever, can I?

To promote usage of the IRC channel I have decided to do some small IRC-only giveaways.  Some will be random and some will be for participating in trivia. Even if you don't win you should at least have some fun. If you stop by and nothing is going on, just hang out until it picks up.  We have a lot of people stopping by and then leaving right away. If you just hang out in there you won't miss anything.

P.S.  if anyone is interested in seeing how many entries they had in the Steam contest I have uploaded the list in a text file which you can get here:

A question about Finding blocks,
what I should do to found blocks during mining?

When I offered 0% fees for the first 20 people attracted many signups but the hashrates have been low and for a 1GH/s network I have realized it is not going to be enough to get started.

So, I have decided to go bigger...

First, I will extend 0% fees for life to the next 50 people that signup and start mining.

I will announce mining contests with different prizes depending on the hashrates we hit and maintain.

If we hit the following hashrates, the prizes for the contest will be as follows:

100 MH/s - Any video game on Steam up to $59.99 gifted to your Steam account.

300 MH/s - Xbox360/Kinect bundle with 4 games


These are just the start.  Once this coin has real monetary value and the pool is large I will host many contests with big prizes.  I will announce the details of the contests later depending on our sustained hashrate but these are the prizes I am offering for the first contest.

In addition to exciting contests with big prizes, mining at con.poolers.org has other benefits. The other pools have not invested near as much into securing your accounts and coins.  Just try putting https at the front of your pools address.  If they can't even afford to buy an SSL certificate to encrypt their traffic and verify their identity, how much do you think was put into securing the site?  

I don't host pools to make money,  I am already well-off financially and don't need the money.  I operate at a loss and I do so on purpose.  I believe in the idea of unregulated currency and want to see cryptocurrency become mainstream.  I don't like day trading coins to turn $20 into $40, I am in this for it to blow up huge.  Because of this I am willing to offer prizes like these when I am not even making any money out of it.

I challenge you to show me one other pool that is making 0% fees, investing into real security, and giving away tangible goods rather than coins that may or may not be worth something someday.  

Come and mine @ https://con.poolers.org , the only pool where the members benefit more than the pool owner.

It works for me.
