Well the pool has had quite a few users come and try it out but it sure is hard to get sustained hashrate up when starting out

Perhaps we need to rent a billboard.

Perhaps we need to rent a billboard. Well, someone's renting something and it appears to be hashrate now that we're at 1PH. Hopefully it will stay up there and attract some actual long term miners.

Excellent, welcome But be patient while our hashrate is still low.

...It would be nice to see this pool maintain a hash rate over 1PH like the solo pool. ...
While I can say that I love the payout concept, I'm not sure that it will catch on before a few blocks are found. When you combine that with the psychology of 12.5 + fees for solo vs less for this pool, it's sadly going to be a bit before this pool has the continual wide interest that the solo pool does.

When you combine that with the psychology of 12.5 + fees for solo vs less for this pool, it's sadly going to be a bit before this pool has the continual wide interest that the solo pool does. No doubt it will take time to catch on. There's no reason to expect the same number of miners to suddenly jump on board as there are at solo. Look at solo; it has 300+ unique users that constantly mine on it. That's extraordinary given they're actually solo mining. Meanwhile although our hashrate here is relatively consistently 500TH+, the reality is there are only 30+ unique users constantly mining here so far. Rentals are making up a significant portion of the hashrate still but one has to be patient given the mining landscape at present. Other pools have had "recruitment drives" that have been successful but it is also still early days here and no doubt a lot of people will be put off by the lack of fancy shit interface at the pool end - though that's a significant part of the actual concept of this pool much like it is at solo. Additionally people show allegiance to pools and don't just stay there for financial or feature reasons. Also there is a psychology associated with the 'no guarantees' in the opening post and 'beta' status; but I want to be realistic with people about it though I've personally invested fairly heavily in it and am very confident of its abilities. Realistically, until we attract some "large miner(s)" we'll remain one of the small pools that has long waits between blocks, but remember that overall rewards should work out the same on average. I think I've created a pool that's perfect for all the small miners that would normally never get any payout but ironically that won't attract any big miners now will it? I'm not much of a marketer since I prefer code and performance to speak louder than words and let people see for themselves. I think it's bad form running around waving your own flag. Be patient, play the long game, but tell your friends

For those people wondering about why the diff% dropped a little on the pool, the current network difficulty rose. The stats always display the most up to date data.
Additionally if you're looking at the pool work and wondering why the postponed group isn't sorted by size, it was only ever sorted by how postponed the payouts are (and everyone's currently postponed the same amount.) Only the payouts are sorted by size, and only the top 100 payouts, although there are currently only 80 odd users that are entitled to a payout.

Thank you con for that information, was wondering about it and get this explain without asking.

...side note: My S7LN died today, the temp in my garage got up to 95 degrees and my miner didn't like that at all. I was lucky that I was able to bring it back to life after a few reboots and lowering the frequency to keep the temp a bit lower. If you bought 1 and still have the original PSU running, then you're doing better than us; we had around 1 PSU out of every 12 LNs survive past the 5 month mark. That being said, get more air moving in there; even at a low freq, hot air is not your friend.

Pool's best share just moved up "bestshare":315560639383.0
Getting there, let's crack it soon.

It's that one big rental again. Hope it pays off for all our sakes Based on what I see when the obvious rentals disappear, I think we only have about 300TH of actual miners at this stage. Did a brief restart for some minor fixes with virtually no downtime. Keep on mining!

1/3 of that will be a cycle of 2 days on and 1 day off until we hit block 1.

I joined last night, I've been mining now for 8 hours 20 minutes on ckpool.org @ 7.28 TH/s, i might be bringing some more workers online sometime today, i would like to maybe meet that 10 TH/s threshold. Oh yeah newbie here to mining and the forum, this is my first post.

Oh yeah newbie here to mining and the forum, this is my first post. You are most welcome here. Be aware that this pool is still very new and establishing its hashrate. As you only receive a payout for mining once the pool finds a block, it is entirely unpredictable how long this will be and vary wildly until there is a lot more hashrate on the pool. On the other hand, on average over a much longer period (months+) you can earn more here than at other pools with higher fees. The other advantages of mining here are outlined in the opening post.
