[redditorrex]

They are in there.

Thanks for pointing it out, great pool!

[redditorrex]

Had some slight downtime (about 5 minutes).

We are back up and mining.

[redditorrex]

New stats and NMC tops.

New Security Feature:

Account login activity is now listed on the bottom of your dashboard.

It will look similar to this:

Small new feature allowing you to get emails when we send you BTC/NMC.

As usual their is an option on the settings page to turn this off.


Example Email (clicky):

I just started mining again with my 700MH/s after stopping over summer and am disappointed by the changes made to this pool since. You claim PPS or Proportional, yet there is no option to switch between them (I checked every single page) and it appears both NMC and BTC are proportional. Also, forcing me to mine namecoins when I don't even have a namecoin address or any interest in them makes no sense. Off to Ars for me.

Mining NMC does not affect your BTC production, just FYI.  You're complaining about being forced to get a free bonus.

Thanks eleuthria.

The setting page has gotten a facelift, as well as the top boards.
By default all users are now private, and can choose to display either their username or a custom name, with an optional link.
There are also new email and notification features, with a few more on the way.

Who do I need to contact about finding out about where my supply of name coins went?

Either they where stolen or there is a bug. Please tell me what happened. Thank you!

Hey, not a bug more of a feature too people that don't care about NMC.  Just add a NMC address and your balance and stats will appear on the dashbaord for NMC.

Right now NMC does NOT have autopayments,  You can place a bitparking deposit address in the NMC address field.

[redditorrex]

Yes

[redditorrex]

Some simple maintenance with a downtime of about 3 min. All miners should be getting work.

[redditorrex]

You can now customize you name and add a link for the 'Tops' List.

In the last few weeks we have seen many great pools close their doors.  While in the short term this might seem like a good thing for competing pool, I started Mt.Red to create more diversity in the mining sector.  Right now much of the hashing power rests a few top their pools.  Many bad things can happen given a scenario with few mining options, so I want to encourage more developments and more smaller pools, and for miners to try smaller pools.  Hosting a pool isn't too difficult, most of the hard work has been done and the software is well polished. And of course there are plenty of people to talk to and get help.  There are opensource projects for every part of mining, backend to frontend. If you can afford the costs and risks and know how to maintain a server, then I think you will find the level of challenges in running a mine enjoyable. It does take time initially to build and test, but maintaining it after that is rather strait forward.

/rant

That all being said; Mt.Red would love to see are server resources be utilized a little more. Come check us out, lots of new features.

Heads up,

 We are migrating to a new server with better processing and disk space.  This requires an ip switch, which may result in a few hours of downtime while DNS updates.  There will be a 72hr notice before we switch the servers.  Plans for right now are for the switch to happen on Friday. It may get delayed to after the holiday, but I will be sure to keep you posted.

Thanks,
RR

Is the PPS value current on the home page? It says 0.0000402584041003.
But my calc of 50/1155038 = 0.000043289 which is 7.5% more.

 

Also checked on ArsBitcoin and they're using this latter value.
I'm currently using MtRed as failover backup but have toyed with switching.

BTW I saw your post about moving servers and possible DNS downtime. Before you do the move you should set your DNS TTL value to a short value like 300 seconds so that when you do the IP change we'll all be caching DNS only briefly. Then after the move set it back to your normal TTL time. This will minimize the DNS propagation issues.

The fee is 7%. but yea

Its (50/Diff)*0.93 = pps amount

so (50/1155038.3339636)*0.93 = 0.0000402584041003

Also, A note on the server upgrade:

We are waiting on the new box to be built and put online.  Given its the holiday it might be another week before it's online. I will be sure to let yo guys know.
