I'm not aware of any problematic reject rate.  I usually average about .6% on my miners and I've not heard anyone else having a higher than normal reject rate?

What's your percentage?

I'll test again soon. Maybe there was a disconnect during the night.

We just solved block number 157,000!  Kinda cool having such an even number block.

Anyway - I made some changes to the way payout buttons are displayed and added a confirmation for cashout.  What does everyone think of these changes?  Does it address the problems or do I need to do more?

Previously, the payout buttons did not show up if you did not have a balance, making the cashout button the only available button.  I can see where that might be confusing.  Now, instead, the payout buttons for both NMC and BTC show up all the time, but they are greyed out if you do not have a balance (and they are non-clickable).  I've also added tool tips to a couple areas that did not have tool tips before.

I moved over from YourBTC about 2 days ago. So far I like this pool (except for the site design maybe  ) but I just noticed that the EU server is located in the US (Kansas?). Is this just temporary?

Just wondering why the PayPal payout is a 7.5% fee?
That seems VERY high.

Not only 7.5% but also the recipient loses PayPal fees on top of that also.
(something like 30c to 50c + 2.4% to 3.4%)

Basically it all adds up to around 10% (or more) in fees.
That seems ridiculously high ...

What other pool offers this service? Personally I would not use it as I hate paypal but I'm sure there is some demand. Do you know you are able to use the pool with out taking part in this service? I've never used it and things work just fine.

Hmm that's an interesting way to word it.
Monopoly means high prices?

ihhihiih!

PP Payout fees are proportional to what I have to pay.  You do not incur a fees when you receive money from the payout, the pool pays that fee.  Where are you getting your information that the recipient is paying a fee as well?

But in either case, if you've never dealt with Paypal then you don't understand the hassle that dealing with Paypal is.  Once you have, you'll understand why the fees are so high.  Incur a huge risk that they will arbitrarily decide to freeze my assets for no particular reason, other than they feel like it that day (I'm not kidding, Google it).  You also need to take into account the fees associated with the money exchangers that would convert your BTC back to USD (or whatever currency you prefer) if you were to take the payout option in BTC.  The fee comes out to be pretty close percentage wise... and those are the things _I_ have to do instead of you, so any additional covers my hassle and expenses.  However, if you're wondering, my total "Profit" for PP payouts since the pool started is just over $100, in a little over 6 months... and that was with the fee at 10%, not 7.5%.  So yeah if 7.5% is too high for you, I would seriously recommend just taking it in BTC and converting it yourself to save some cash.

The EU server was unstable and taken offline and traffic redirected to the US server.  I have been unable to locate a reliable hosting service in the EU that doesn't charge a ridiculous amount of money for a basic box... it's pretty depressing actually.  There was one person on these forums that I had a deal in the works with several weeks ago, but I haven't heard from him since our last communication so it looks like that has fallen through.  I'm still searching and if you know of anyone providing that type of service for a reasonable amount of money (or even better, would take payment in BTC) I am all ears.

Oh well - I guess that explains it then.
I'll ignore PayPal

Going to BTC then TradeHill then exchange then a transfer to my bank account (even being AUD) is a total of about 1.1%

[ThiagoCMC]

What about this host provider: http://www.jtan.com/ ?

[Inaba]

Hmm, I will send them an inquiry, but if it's $99/mo for their basic co-located box, then that might be a bit too costly.  $50 a month is about my limit.  The pool is not exactly a cash cow

*EDIT*

Err wait, they seem to be located in the US?  PA to be exact.

What are your requirements in regards to spec, price, bandwidth throughput?

[ThiagoCMC]

Good question...

BTW Inaba, what do you think about open a server in Brazil?!

We can make a partnership! I can provide the server, 3 internet connections, power generator, at no cost.

Hi!

 I just hit the button: "Pay me -> My BTC as -> PayPal" and, the EclipseMC site return the following error:

 "There was an error with acquiring the exchange rate, please try again later."

 But, I receive the payment at PayPal normally.

Best!

Hi!

 Can you add the following status to the "QUICK STATISTICS" menu:

 Est. 24H Reward: X.XXXXXXXX

 or:

 24 Hour Earnings (like BTCGuild)

 ?

 And add Namecoin est. 24H reward too...

Best!
Thiago

Hmm, at least in Germany there dozens of affordable hosting services. Drop me a PM with the (minimun) sizing of the hardware/vm you require and what you are willing to spend, I'll have a look then.

[Inaba]

I'm not sure how to add an estimated 24 HR reward, since we can't know when/how many blocks will be solved in that amount of time.  I can add historical 24 hour reward though.  Are you wanting a floating 24 hours window or something that starts and ends at midnight each day?

I'm looking into the paypal error

[stick_theman]

This pool is FINEEE.  Thanks Inaba for all your hardwork.

[Inaba]

Thanks stick! 

I need to rewrite some of the Paypal code - the Paypal API is complete ass and the documentation is either out of date or just plain wrong.  Bah.  Anyway, it won't affect any user interface portion of Paypal, but you may see the error occasionally until I get it rewritten.  IT won't actually affect payouts though, it's just some variables not being returned properly, even though variables are discarded anyway.
