[ANN][FeatherCoin][PPLNS][Stratum] FeatherPool.com Pool

[alecpap]

UPDATE: 28 May 2013
The pool will be completely closing in one week (4 June 2013). Please withdraw all your coins before then, thank you.

UPDATE: 30 Apr 2013b
Pool has been migrated, and stratum has been added. While DNS is propagating, the website may be inaccessable.
The new IP is: 72.20.53.5
Adjust your miners to the following:
LP: http://72.20.53.5:9999
Stratum: stratum+tcp://72.20.53.5:9998
During DNS propagation, all shares mined will be counted as normal, and payouts will continue as normal.

UPDATE: 30 Apr 2013a
I am in the process of moving the pool to a new server, and adding stratum. The DNS may take a while to propagate, but I will be posting the new IP address here shortly. Please stay posted. You will not lose any shares during the migration.

Hello, I've set up a new pool for mining FeatherCoins. It's a PPLNS pool, pretty standard stuff.

I'm doing 0% fee through the end of April to see how it goes, after that fee may increase to 1% or stay at 0%, I'm not sure yet. This is my first time setting up a pool, so I'm sure there are plenty of wrinkles to iron out yet.

Post any problems/requests/questions here and I'll answer them as best I can.

Do you require all 120 confirmations for payout?

Right now yes, all 120 confirms are required.

Is the payout falling behind?
been mining for two hours on the pool, see alot of found blocks since i joined (and also have been confirmed (120)), even found two myself. But only gotten 122 shares payd for (35 invalid...) which have given me 0,05FC woho!=P

Payout isn't falling behind, check your balance, you've been paid. It's a PPLNS pool, so it takes a while for your payrate to ramp up.

got duo 6870s  running and so far less than 1% stale rate and going pretty smooth so far...I haven't tried to payout yet as it's too earlier, but I put donation at 1%...

[flyingmonkeycrap]

Is it just me or is the current round shares saying Pool Valid: -355506....what gives?

[Crystallas]

Nice pool. I like FeatherCoins tweaks a lot, so I hope it stays around a bit.

How come some of the blocks stopped with 1 confirm left?  They couldn't possibly still get orphaned, could they?

[503guy]

Looks like you have a lot of blocks that you will have to manually process -- common problem with the server soft you're using.

Is it messed up right now ? Whats happenin ?

It looks messed up.  If Cryptocoinexplorer was back up then we could at least see if the pool got paid for all those blocks that are hanging at 1 and 2 confirms pending..

Nice pool ... Fix that delay blocks payment and you get my 1% donation !

Tried mining at the pool awhile but no shares credited in the system.

Current round shares: -4,666,826

I'm assuming that's the cause of the problem?

You need to wait for 120 confirmations, unless I misunderstood what you meant?

[mercSuey]

Yeah, it looked like my pay rate was lower than expected, now I see why with all the pending confirms...

[aikklond]

We have lost a great deal of payouts with this unconfirmed blocks, is the admin gonna fix that?

Its really bad ...

I would assume so, or else this pool won't last much longer...

[mercSuey]

Some of the pending confirms have been paid buy many have not.

Is there a frontend that is more stable than mmcfe?  I was thinking about setting up a private pool so I can learn more about it, but I don't want to waste my time on mmcfe if it is unstable and there is a better option.
