And yes, I have checked port, URL and user/pass.

URL/port should be:
http://fpool1.zapto.org:19327

Well then its listed wrong on the site, the pool is down or almost down and all I get is restarts/work requests and no shares. Also: With that port, should I use registered username or recieve address as user?

Well, what port and are you using registered worker or receive address/'anypass' for the miner?

No offence but I'm presuming user error.

Conflicting user info seems to be the case. Pool is down on some ports, has faulty info and no one knows for sure what info to use. Seems it 'might' be working now on a different port, with unregistered info. Hah

fpool1.zapto.org @ 19327

working, i am getting payout, started from 15-30 min ago

[serge79]

I'm calling scam (not just useless coin) on this entire 'operation'. Pools don't pay out, obvious 'pre mining' for a small group of early adopters and NO early adoption of coin except for forum sales.

Have you tried the FC Simple Pool?  I have been using it for 30 hours and have received multiple payouts.  Point your cgminer here:  http://fpool1.zapto.org:28339

I don't think it's a scam. There is no premine, and pools used to pay regular yesterday. Altpool is still working and accepting my shares, though website is under maintance now.

[chriswen]

Working on a p2pool now. Ill post a thread when i have tested it.

p2pool is good.  But, its only viable if the p2pool hash rate is low.

[Cheshyr]

I think I'm going to create an actual coin called Scamcoin, just so people have a scapegoat.

Depends heavily on what you call premine. First 5 miners threw something like 5MH @ mining and scraped together millions of coins in hours at ultra low difficulty. Launching an altcoin with 200 block reward and early miners finding 1000s of blocks an hour qualifies as premine to me.

i'ld call it "being at the right place at the right time"

besides, when i started solomining, i threw 8 khash/sec at it, got 50 blocks in 12 hours, since then, 1114 FC from pooled mining.

And that would work just fine, if everyone was on 8 khash, even with stupid low diff for first few days. Unfortunately there are several 'early adopters' on 5+ Ghash rigs.

There's less than 4 million coins... so you're saying 5 people have all coins? lol if you want to call something a premine look at Mincoin that has 2mnc/block but gave people 500/block the first days worth of blocks, 100/block the 2nd day and 50/block the 3rd

What is wrong?

Nothing. You might not hit a block (share while solo mining) for a day at that hash rate.

Where are you getting that figure of 5GH from?

Anyway I see your point. There was significant hash power quite early on, but it seems to be from a lot of people picking up this coin and not just from some major miners. I actually think we have had a fairly decent early distribution of coins as so many people got in early. I hope that these people now stick around to help build this coin.

So the abbreviation is FC?  Because Freicoin is already using FRC..

Hey you never know. I would still argue that the next coin to 'make it' will be one launched by a vetted group with a pre-set lauch date to avoid the 'gold rush' where a few 'mining corps' dump tons of hashing power  into solo mining for a day and mine a very significant percentage of the possible future value with little to no effort.
