I am agree about the critics towards NVC, it is a weird shady coin..
But why do you always suppose premined is bad?! Yes it is bad for shit-head selfish pump-dumping miners who prefer it to start from zero, so they can mine a huge bunch of it at the easy starting points after launch and then when the price goes up, dump it to profit a lot (pyramid game) and that kills the coin and leaves a huge loss for other people who invested later.. a lot of examples are available, you know.
Once again, of course not premined is better than premined in general, but do you expect a group of highly skilled developers sit and create a new innovative coin (copycat coins are total shit no matter premined or not premined and excluded from my argument) without any profit or return for their work, so the coin get released to the prey of the above-mentioned type of miners who are ready there at the gate to receive, pump-dump and then kill it??!
If it is a new innovative promising coin, a small percentage of premined to be used to pay the developers+ further developments and bounties is fair and also may guarantee the future growth and progress of the coin economy.

Dear all,

Today we scheduled a maintenance that went bad on Hypernova.
The purpose of this maintenance was to push the new litecoin daemon in its new version 0.8.3.7
As you may be aware, this new branch of litecoin needs to resync the whole blockchain.
During the blockchain syncing, the network difficulty dropped to something like 0.XXXX and the PPS rate skyrocketed.
Those who were mining during that upgrade within that 2 minutes timeframe experienced a WAY too high balance (we're talking about thousands of LTCs)
The auto withdraw threshold feature perfectly worked. Here is how you empty a pool wallet in seconds.

I'm very sorry about your loss. I decide to stop the Hypernova's adventures here.

If the coins (or part of the coins) are returned by those who received the withdraws, I'll be happy to refund those who ask me in PM or at feedback@hypernova.pw (please tag your subject with [refund] as you guess I'll have many mails within the next days)

If you need another pool, I would totally recommend coinhuntr.

Sorry everyone, it's been a busy past few days. I hope everyone has mined their lebowskis 

Cryptsy addition is on the table, waiting to be added to the exchange. Right now there is little buy support at coins-e so the price of lebowskis looks fairly low. The dude does not abide this, this agression will not stand, man.

Looks like a third pool will be running soon as well, more details to follow 

get mining, don't let Donnie die in vain!

I have a basic site configured I just haven't published it yet. It's like I said - basic. I'm no good with design and making it look fancy.

I was wondering whether someone is planning to make a good website frontend for LBW - it would be nice to have one

wanted to mine lewbowskis but no miner in wallet

Hypernova switched back from CPPRSB to PPS,  setting up 4% fee.

Balthazar, set up to 3% and we'll wait for a year for return of the rest

fair launches are normal for crap copy coins like 90% of all coins here but when devs spend their days and their nights to make new things, hard work deserves recognition. Nobody work for nothing. Everything was not perfect, we just tried to bring innovation. We are a little team, we are not Microsoft, Google or whoever, we didn't have an army of beta testers.
