Using this pool right now. Seems to work fine, and I'm getting less stale shares than with Blastbob's pool. Could be because I'm in The Netherlands....
What I would love to see next is a stratum pool
Bobs is stratum if you ask my miner.
Switched back to p2pool.chnco.in because that Frensh pool wasn't paying out anything even though many shares were excepted. guess they were orphans.
I'm using GUIminer-scrypt and after reading your post I selected "yes" in the stratum dropdown....and I'm still connecting. Didn't change ports though. I wonder if it improves anything.
Bob, stratum isn't actually functioning, is it ?
( I have no idea how that works anyway, I just know it leads to "moar moneys" )
