I travel through Atlanta a lot .  I worked in Atlanta for a few years, now it's just mostly passing through (yes, I fly Delta).  You assume correctly.  I'm an Enterprise Architect, mostly focused on omni-channel retail implementations with a variety of software packages (WebSphere Commerce, IBM Sterling OMS, Manhattan WMOS, Manhattan DOM, Hybris Commerce, etc).

I believe I got everyone's latest picks...  Good luck everyone!!!

I will update the picks in a bit... Just landed and have to pick up my team then head to the hotel...

Yes that was a one-time thing as well.

Edit: sorry for the quick answer... I was just getting off a plane in Atlanta.  Now that I've got a bit of a layover, I'll give more details .

Actively mining means just that.  You can't submit a couple shares today, then a few more a few days later and so on.  Do you have to be here 24/7?  Well that would certainly increase your chances at finding a block.  While I would obviously like you to point your big guns here full time, I realize that it may not be feasible for a variety of reasons.  Be that reason you spilt your time with other pools or you shut down your miners part of the day due to fluctuating electricity costs during peak hours.

The idea is to grow the base hash rate of the pool so that we reduce the variance.  The more constant hash we have, the more regularly the blocks are found and the more often miners are paid.  Ultimately I want people to make this pool their home.  I'm spending a ton of coin and time to provide an experience that makes miners happy to pull their gear off of the big, bad-for-Bitcoin pools.

So, at the end of the round, I will be evaluating the shares to determine whether or not the prospective winner was in fact actively mining.  I won't accept a "winner" who made a guess, then didn't submit a single hash for a while, but happened to be lucky enough to then be mining when the block was found.

I realize my answer is a bit vague, but that is because the parameters of the question aren't easily quantified.

Hi pattim, this pool is based on two open source projects: NOMP for the stratum server and MPOS for the front end.  Kano's pool is based on the open source ckpool project.

Other than the differences in the underlying software, both of our pools are PPLNS, both have an "N" value of 5 times the current network difficulty, etc.  Neither of our pools mine empty blocks.

No, this pool is not part of p2pool.

Sign up, point your miners here and take your chances with the ongoing promotion.  You've got a chance to win up to 3BTC.

Done.  Good luck!

Pool is at 38% of expected shares.  All of you with guesses lower than that have the opportunity to make a change if you wish.

LOL... thanks for rearranging that Zach

PPOC and traxor your picks are updated.

Done.  Good luck!

It doesn't have to be exactly 10%... you can add as much as you want as long as it is a minimum of 10%.  Still want to do 39.9%?

EDIT: ok, since you didn't reply, I'll just put you down for 39.9%.

LASERminer and eghigo are eligible to make another guess if they wish...

Sorry!  Guess I failed at cut and paste
