Waarschijnlijk heeft dit 2 oorzaken:

1) Het nieuws dat er 13000 BTC en 300000 LTC zijn gestolen uit de wallets van Cryptsy.com ( bewering van Crypsty.com zelf )
2) Het verhaal van Mike Hearn dat Bitcoin heeft gefaald.

Hi Stoneboy,

I think it might help your situation in gaining the trust of potential miners if you made full disclosure of your real name and address/telephone number as well perhaps provide a few references which can be verified by a third party (e.g: bank reference, lawyer, etc...). I get it that most here in this community like to remain anonymous but as a person who claims to wish to be a pool operator I think you need to accept the fact that you must trade some of that anonymity for full-disclosure to give comfort to potential "investors" in your enterprise that you will not run away when the first block hits. Escrowing 25 BTC with a trusted member here would also be a good idea to further cement faith but after reading your thread here it sounds like this might be financially not possible for you.

Like you I am also new to this forum but I can see after reading a number of threads that there have been a number of scams pulled on members here which understandably makes potential miners for your site quite cautious. The recent difficulties you have had in getting the site started as well the fact that you yourself are not mining your own site makes things even more suspicious!

I am curious also, I believe the Netherlands has similar website disclosure laws as are found in Germany...are you not legally required to disclose  your name, address and contact information when using a .nl extension on a site that is hosted in the Netherlands?

Best of luck.

Even if its not specifically stated, there are fair use precedents. For example set by the guy who was selling 'his' free electricity back to the network to collect a cheque, to pay the rent.

The best BTC mining rig for $1000 is the one that you don't buy.

Yes, you can trade your hash power in market anytime.

You can use any amount you want, from 0.005 to X BTC, on 1 or X Market, form 1 to X Exchanges.
I usually suggest to start with very little sum to understand how CAT works.

Okay thanks for the explanation and the quick response!

Your terminology is a bit off and I'm not sure what you mean with "hashes" and "clicks". I will try to write a short explanation if it helps.

All miners connected to the pool are mining for the pool. So if anyone finds a block the block will belong to the pool (gets paid out to the pools address).

Now the pool has the responsibility to split the reward (25btc currently) between miners depending how much work (hashpower) they put in to find this block. Usually this is done by pools setting a lower difficulty for the miner when sending them jobs. Miners will send back results (called shares) earlier when they find a block matching the lower difficulty set by the pool. The pool will count this shares as proof that the miner actually did the work.

Shares are like real blocks that just don't match the full target (difficulty). One of those shares will actually match the current real difficulty and the pool will submit it as a valid new block.

Different pools use different ways to count the shares (determine your payout) and you will see terms like PPS, PPLNS, ....

The hashrate is on a steep curve going up right now and it looks like each week a new mining data center is announced. I personally would wait a bit now before investing into mining hardware.

amazon you will overpay for a miner. can you withdraw the 1000$? you can buy the S7 currently for around 1000$ without shipping added.
