I believe that 0.1 FTC fee is the transaction fee of the network itself, but I do agree, it should be noted somewhere, so people don't set low auto payouts, not knowing they are going to be losing some coins that way.

Whew just about doubling. Rough !

This is not true. FeatherPool doesn't deduct this 0.1 FTC fee, regardless of how small or large the payout is.

[Nutnut]

So... Whilst we all agree that we should have been notified about it, what are we gonna do about it? The way i see it, we have 2 options regarding the transaction fees...

1. Stomp off and find another pool

or

2. reduce your donation (you are donating aren't you?)

set your payouts to 25FTC and your pool fees wouldwork out to less than half a percent.

[thep33t]

I don't mind it, everybody needs to eat and pay for server etc, but it's unfare to hide this information from users, you could just set a transparent fee...

I did not know it did not mention that, I will add It.

I am not making money on that, btw. It is a fee passed on to the send.

 ie:

    {
        "account" : "",
        "address" : "6h1PRR6VvgiJ5w182dzhpEoCs3cwQxch67",
        "category" : "send",
        "amount" : -0.95966599,
        "fee" : -0.10000000,
        "confirmations" : 1,
        "blockhash" : "8ca38198fa07d77001bd3a51f447fe80349644de0d5a514c1c6499c284de7010",
        "blockindex" : 63,
        "txid" : "69192eeb3f20471561a0446f0d9ad16effa6a95681210916ffdd74f9131067d4",
        "time" : 1367608574
    },

So I am not stealing, lying, etc. but thanks for the accusations.

I should charge more, because some are .2 fee, like the following.

    {
        "account" : "",
        "address" : "6fao2Jnok28YfBZo5kWwdMC2qEtBMQhAXq",
        "category" : "send",
        "amount" : -0.00648339,
        "fee" : -0.20000000,
        "confirmations" : 1,
        "blockhash" : "8ca38198fa07d77001bd3a51f447fe80349644de0d5a514c1c6499c284de7010",
        "blockindex" : 54,
        "txid" : "9becfb9b01b6e9fa33150f076b125a4a003382071133636e4ab9b2f23e9fa916",
        "time" : 1367608573
    },


I lose money on that, and since you, z0rr0, are donating 0%, you are making money off of me. So I would shutup before I ban you for wasting my time.

Yeah, maybe you should try doing more than copying the existing pool base without looking at basic functionality. Are you paying out block fee rewards?   The website is barely functional, let alone the pool.  Of course, that's status quo with every FC pool...

Thank you for your input. Please explain how the website is barely functional?

And remember, cookie-cutter design is still functional. Is there an aspect that is not working for you? If so, let me know.

[Nutnut]

Named and shamed Z0rr0.

Is it possible to add an idle worker email alert?

[Synefiere]

what would you guys consider a fair amount of donation?

[SlickMcFavorite]

I put in 2%, which I think is the minimum acceptable, but I will consider upping it soon.

OP, do you collect transaction fees from the blocks or distribute them?

[thep33t]

Currently, Block reward is 200, so TX fees are not distributed.

[Nutnut]

Are we struggling again? My miners have failed over a couple of times and we seem to have lost a few hundred MH/s from the pool rate?

[Synefiere]

thep33t you should consider setting the donation % to a 2% default at registration .... the user can change it anyway after

[vdragon]

We having some problems again? Pool going of and on

[thep33t]

stratum or regular?

[vdragon]

Stratum

[pengoau]

I'm getting no response from the stratum pool intermitantly, cgminer is then set to use http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:8341 for which after a few minutes stratum starts responding again.

Also I think I'm not getting enough work as my fan speeds go from high to low a lot, typically this occurs when it loses connection to the pool.

This accorded with fc.dontmine.me as well but doesn't happenw hen i mine ltc with givemeltc.

Is there an issuse with ftc pools or something? I switched to this pool as I had the same issue with fc.dontmine.me.
