We now currently run ETH, ETC, Ellaism, and now ETP.

You can access our etp site from http://meta.noobpool.com, or click the link from our main page at http://www.noobpool.com

0.1% fee.

Added Ellaism to noobpool.com.  Can be viewed at http://ella.noobpool.com

Sure, use Daggerhashimoto as the algorithm, noobpool.com as the host name, port 8008 or 8009 for higher hash rates, and the password as #.  Put your wallet address as your username.

Our average hashrate at http://www.noobpool.com runs between 20-30gh.  If we setup nodes in EU and Asia would people be willing to switch over to our pool from some of the bigger pools?  We have been around for about a year, have a helpful telegram chat, and a 0% fee.  Our current server is located at a data center on the east coast of the US, but with servers in other countries we could lower ping times for people in those areas and grow the size of the pool.

If enough people are interested, I'll start work on the new servers, if not I'll save the time and money and just keep the current server.  We currently offer ETH and ETC only.

Yeah, March was a difficult month, a lot of uncles and not a lot of blocks.  Things have picked up a lot for April, only 2 uncles so far and plenty of full blocks.  Our average hashrate is around 25gh and the difficulty has dropped a bit, so we are seeing more blocks.  Also a few adjustments to our node seems to have resolved the uncle issue.

I moved and had very limited access to the server until today because I moved to the middle of nowhere and internet has been a real pain to get setup.  But I'm back now and hopefully we can continue to grow the pool.

If anyone gets a 'Connection closed by pool' message, just contact me through email noob@noobpool.com and I can resolve it for you.  It's caused by the server banning you for some reason, like too much OC on your cards and it's submitting bad shares, or you had some issue with your command line that the server didn't like.  The security measures are pretty tight and people get banned by mistake sometimes.  But I can unban you, just send me your ip address by email or in our telegram chat.  Email is usually faster.

It's funny how everyone loves the pool when you're hitting low variance blocks, but when you get stuck on a difficult one everyone jumps ship and start to yell scam.  I've been accused of so many things since starting this pool.  I was accused of faking the pool being hacked in which we lost some eth, but everyone still got paid in full from my own pocket.  I've been accused of having fake accounts to steal eth from others.  I've even been accused of redirecting the hash power to other pools to steal it for myself and manually increasing the variance on the website to look like everyone is still mining on it. 

And we have the very small core group of haters that go to every forum, every place they can post a review and call the pool a scam.  Apparently they have nothing better to do.  But the pool is still there, people are still mining and still getting paid. 
 
Yes, the crypto world is the wild west, there are no rules it seems because it's so anonymous.  But not everyone is dishonest and a thief.  I run a legit pool.  If you think it's a scam, just be like everyone else and mine on a big pool.

Would have responded sooner, but didn't notice this post until now.

I really wish people would look a little closer at things before posting messages like this. 

Since I'm the owner, you assume this is a fake account that I created.  And sure, that's a logical conclusion to come to if you only look at the pool's stats, but if you actually look at the account https://etherscan.io/address/0x83cd59f4bda0f8f979c58d20547a8ae89878ce88 you will see that it's actually a pool hopper that is doing this on many pools, not just noobpool.com.  Unless of course I own all those pools as well.

Right now 95% of the eth hash rate is on 5% of the pools, when people continue to accuse smaller pools of scams it will keep everyone on the bigger pools and eventually a decentralized thing like cryptocurrency will be centralized to a few pools instead of spread around as it should be.

Had a few high variance blocks, but then we end up with a sting of low ones, so it evens out.  Despite the bad reviews and the people going out of their way to bad mouth the pool and calling it a scam, the pool continues to grow, people continue to be paid on time, and aside from a few people who think the pool should be 100% free and I should cover all server and transaction costs, it's profitable for everyone.

Updated website design is now live.  Still working on new features for it, but looks a lot better than before. 

We have had a string of difficulty blocks recently and has lowered our overall hash rate.  But we got through the last one and need more miners to get a more consistent rate.  So come join the pool, join our chat, learn from others, help others, and just have fun. It's a friendly place where everyone has a good time, not like the big pools where you are just 1 our of 35k anonymous users that no one cares about.  We treat people with 20mh the same as people with 1gh.  And we are PROP so part time miners can still mine without a problem, however hoppers who use bots to game the system and penalized and their shares go to the other miners.

I don't want to run a pplns pool, I want to run prop.  It's better for noobs and part time miners.  Our hopper code stops the pool hoppers and when they do decide to try, their shares are given to the other miners, so it only helps the people who don't try to cheat the system. 

Yes, sometimes we have bad luck on a block and it takes longer than average to find a block, so people end up making less than they would somewhere else, and often we find blocks faster and people make more.  People don't understand the luck factor involved because in big pools it's not noticeable, but smaller pools it makes a big difference.  If we average a block a day and we find a block in 5 minutes, you got paid a days worth of work in 5 minutes.  If it takes us 2 days, you got worked for 2 days for 1 day's worth of pay.  It's just how mining works.  It works the same on big pools who find a block every 5 minutes, but you don't notice when a hard block comes along and it take 10 minutes.

And if you believe the pool to be a scam, don't mine there.  If you're going to post that it's a scam, lets see some proof.

We are preparing to release our updated website with all new features, graphs, and a sleek new look.  Come join now and be sure to join our telegram chat to interact, hang out, chat, and learn.  It's a fun place to spend your time while mining.

Wow, we went several days without a block, finally hit at 650% variance.  Biggest one we have ever seen, but hit 3 blocks so far today so it's making up for that bad one. 

So you're having issues mining?  It sounds like the system banned you for some reason.  Email me with your ip address and I'll fix it.  Or contact me on Telegram with it. 

That's been an issue for iPhone users.  We have an android app on the google play store and and ios app coming out very soon, that should help with the issue.

We currently only have one node on the east coast of the US.  Would anyone be interested in joining if we added Asian and EU nodes to the server, or any current miners who would benefit from them?

Your balance updates every time a block is hit.  You just happened to join when we are stuck on a difficult block.  We usually hit at least 1 block a day.

I took a couple days away for my birthday and hoppers went nuts.  I'm back, they are on the hopper list and everything is good now.  I guess I can't leave again.

People use NH with the pool all the time.  Just make sure you set the password as #. 

For testing big pools, this would work fine, but smaller pools can sometimes take 48 hours to find a block and make a payout.  Luck is also a big factor with smaller pools, so the numbers might not be accurate after only 48 hours.  Also, the minimum payout is different for different pools, and 1 gpu won't hit the minimum payout on most pools in 48 hours.  Maybe a more accurate test would be to let it run for a full week.

There has been a lot of controversy about my pool and people calling me dishonest, so I would be happy to have my pool tested. noobpool.com
