Does anyone knows what's going on with the first pool
http://elc.hackshardgaming.net/indexI successfully submitted some shares in the beginning, but I can't even log in to the website now. Have I been scammed?
I also lost my account. I'm afraid that this pool was hacked or admin took ELC for himself. ;-)
Do you know if ELC is deadcoin?
It's not dead. A few of us who put our big rigs against it early on would like to keep it alive, as we think its a good idea. In fact, for all the talk from WindMaster, one thing is a bit odd - his claim that we're going to modify the reward TO BENEFIT OURSELVES, is wrong.
Think about it - why would we INCREASE block rewards for miners? Its not like its private mining, it's public. Anyone can join. So if the block reward goes up, it DISADVANTAGES early miners more than any other coin why have a constant reward for increasing diff (meaning fewer coins per miner). (!)
And we're willing to do that to keep the concept alive, because we think it's good. Do you think it's good? Then mine, even with just 1 of your 5 GPUs on the pool. (elacoinpool.com is still up
but we have a bit more involvement/control with
http://zeropool.net)
We need some time to get our ducks in a row and fix this up properly, but it's not dead. A fountain is being setup very soon by Super3, stick around to see. (Who doesnt like free coins eh? greed sells :/ )
As for the HacksHardGamig.net pool, if you want your coins ask DeviantTwo on freenode in #elacoin, he'll set you up with your balance. We're not crooks or scammers, and the stemmer wasnt either (just a bit out of his depth...). Our commitment to this coin I think will speak volumes more than mere hype of othercoins. Watch us in the long term - reducing our own benefit for the good of the coin. Stay tuned.
