Jonny's Mining Emporium (bravo-mining.com)

nicehash.com usually.  MRR also is a good choice but I usually find their prices to be higher.

I can also vouch for nicehash.

I got lucky the two times I used it at a few different pools and they both went on good luck streaks so the PPLNS worked out in my favor (meaning I earned back what I spent and then some).

I love the pool Jonny.  If I could make one suggestion though: minify your "jquery.dataTables.js" file.  It's 1/10th of the initial page load, and is crammed full of documentation and other stuff you don't really need to send over the wire to clients.  (yeah, I was snooping your source... yes I have weird hobbies)  Keep up the good work! 

[jonnybravo0311]

Hi Solipsis,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've looked at the code you mentioned and see that it is indeed full of documentation and comments.  You state that it's 1/10th of my initial page load.  Do you mean just in terms of sheer bytes being sent over the wire?  Is the implication you're making that I'll have better performance if I strip out the majority of the comments/documentation from that file?

LOL... no worries about snooping the source - it's available on github.  I used standard MPOS/NOMP.  I added a few tweaks and fixes on my end to address some of the known issues in them, but otherwise it's pretty much stock.

Hi Solipsis,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I've looked at the code you mentioned and see that it is indeed full of documentation and comments.  You state that it's 1/10th of my initial page load.  Do you mean just in terms of sheer bytes being sent over the wire?  Is the implication you're making that I'll have better performance if I strip out the majority of the comments/documentation from that file?

Yes, I did mean in terms of sheer bytes being sent.  The initial page load is about 1019 KB and 100 KB of that is "jquery.dataTables.js".  Sometimes I forget how much I use slang terms.  "Minifying" JavaScript is using a program similar to a compiler which automatically removes documentation and changes up things to make it more efficient in terms of raw size.  (C.F., "jquery.dataTables.js" and "jquery-2.13.min.js").  I did some looking and the developers of DataTables already publish a minified version here: https://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.10/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js  Using a minified version, would help with bandwidth and also somewhat performance.  It should be a simple drop-in replacement.

[jonnybravo0311]

Much obliged for the explanation.  I'm spoiled with bandwidth, so I sometimes forget that not everyone's got hundreds of megabit connections to the world

I'll take a look at those minify versions.  Thanks again for the suggestions and the input.  You keep this up and I might be pinging you for a job in real life... we could always use some detail-oriented performance engineers

Hello everybody I thought I would introduce myself, I'm Rozo, I live in North Carolina. I'm very new to mining but I have researched it extensively over the last month or so. I just got my miner's maybe 2 weeks ago. Jonny I read through some old post of yours and you impressed me so I decided to take a chance on you and direct one of my S 7 over to your pool with my fingers crossed thanks for taking the time and setting one up.

[jonnybravo0311]

Hi Rozo,

Welcome to the world of cryptocurrency and mining .  I'm glad you chose to point one of your S7s to my pool, and I'm honored that some of my posts were able to provide you with inspiration and/or knowledge.

Do keep your fingers crossed... I know I am hoping for a Christmas miracle or two

[RozoTheMiner]

With it being Christmas and all I said what the hell and rented 100 TH for the next day.

Come join me and let's get a block Before Christmas!! 

[jonnybravo0311]

May the force be with you.

[Laviathon]

Hope you guys get lucky again!

[jaydipmodhwadia]

I'm going to register and see if we can become lucky...
I'm not really a rich person and the only bitcoins I have are from the signature campaigns I have been doing for a while now, it just leaves me with dust in my wallet...
I hope we get lucky again asap so I can earn a few more bitcoins so that I can rent more etc......

Thanks for the pool Jonny <3

[jonnybravo0311]

Hi Jay, and welcome onboard!

Jonny's Holiday Promotion!

Hey everyone!  In the spirit of the holidays, I'm going to run a promotion.  I am going to give the block finder 1BTC from my own pocket.  No, I'm not kidding.  Yes, I really do have the coin.  In fact, you can see for yourself: https://blockchain.info/address/1Q9FLjh1Sd7Vw8oo54SvaMb1w3ZuEkSBAe

Obviously, I'm excluding myself from this promotion... if I happen to find a block, then it will be the next block finder who gets the coin.

So, how do you enter?  Simple - point some hash to my pool.  It doesn't matter if you use your own hardware or rent it.  Everyone is welcome.

This contest will run from now until 23:59:59 EST 12/31/2015.

Good luck to everyone!

[RozoTheMiner]

Well I tried, the rented hashing power is over now.

Thank's for the Holiday Bonus!

and happy holidays to everyone.

[jonnybravo0311]

I was rooting for you!  Too bad your rental didn't hit.  Your shares are, however, safe and will be paid when the pool hits

[bctmke]

Even though I'm not ready to move miners here full time I'm all about helping out a new respected pool.

I'll be renting a little hash tonite and tossing it your way for a few hours!

[jonnybravo0311]

Welcome onboard and best of luck with your rental tonight!

[valkir]

Great Job Jonny already 40th on the pool. Wish you best luck with the pool.
We need more pool like that.

I'm in with some hash - YuenglingDude  Let's get some blocks!
