@dreamwatcher Noooooo! Dont turn off the PPS Pool! Its the most honest and best working PPS pool and the rare great working GLD pool, besides your PPLNS. It was quick with payouts and I cant believe that people preffered other pools besides this PPS pool.

Is there any chance to activate it again? If fee was the problem implement 3-4%, the pool deserves it! I think people did not know about this pool so much, did you have a [ANN] thread?

I am really sad now!

You could just mine a real coin

Anyone notice the block reward is wrong on coinchoose?

The community will buy the pool if someone will volunteer to manage it. Please contact me if interested.

Pmalek,

When I shut the pool down, there was ONE person mining on it. The numbers have been going down since I opened both pools. Yet network hash rate is up around 80 M/H.
I just figured there was some other pool(s) that the community preferred to use.

Fees really do not figure in it, but the time it takes to maintain and take care of a pool properly, really needs more than a couple people mining it to make it worthwhile.

I really did not want to shut the pool(s) down, but I cannot justify my time or server resources for one or two people.

I have not shut down the proportional pool yet, but it is up for the chopping block.  I honestly do not want to shut down these pools.

Anyway, I have received offers to buy the pools, I appreciate the thought  but all the pool software is open source, there is nothing to really sell.

I would be willing to open the PPS pool again, but I really need to know there is a community interest in it. Do no forget I am also working on a MAJOR project for CCE (Basically a complete rewrite of the explorers). I do not mind hard work or long hours as I typically work 7 days a week 8-10+ hours a day at this point on my business. The majority of its focus is cryptocurrency.

You got my vote for sure on PPS pool! I would mine on it whenever GLD is just a bit profitable... I think PPL did not know about this PPS pool and we should make a thread, something similar what Erundook does. That way pool would be announced and has its own thread for problems etc...

[AZIZ1977]

I will mine also on your PPS pool dreamwatcher.

[BlazinBeaches]

You got me on your PPS pool as well.  I stepped out for a couple days while I was finishing up with YAC before the Nfactor change.  As long as GLD is profitable I will mine.

[MicroGuy]

Thanks guys. I'll keep working to bring buyers into Cryptsy which should help with profitability. There are also plans in the works now to begin development of an Android app. Ultimately we must get this coin into the hands of the consumer.  

[dreamwatcher]

OK,

This is the plan 

I am going to shut down the proportional pool. There are other proportional pools out there and I would rather maintain one pool from each coin,as I add coins to the mine. After I finish the proportional pool final payouts, I will start working on the PPS pool.

I have a bug-fix I made for a seemingly random share counting bug. The pool software developers deny it exists, but tell that to the miners whose accounts got bitten by it. Unfortunately the fix might make the pool more vulnerable to the double manual payout bug that exists in all mmcFE based pools (unless fixed of course).

This means that I will not have manual payouts available on the pool. However I will increase the choice range of auto-payout to 1-1000. One can simulate a manual payout by simply lowering the threshold below the balance. Payout will occur in the next update cycle.

Cron timers are gone, instead updates and payouts trip when a new block comes on the network.

I believe the bug is happening when the cron update and a block is solved at almost the same time. I believe the share counting cron is setting its cut-off point and miners turning in valid shares at the exact wrong time, are getting shares orphaned behind the cut-off. Somehow this starts to effect all the shares the user turns in afterwards.

This was a RARE occurrence, but a pain in the arse when it happened. Expensive for me because I tend to send a inconvenience bonus out with payment to the miners bitten by this bug.

By basing the updates on when a new block comes on the network, and placing a small delay to the start up of the update jobs, gives miners a windows to get their shares in before the cut-off.


Then I want to do a general clean-up of the server. I will then reset the PPS pool, and it will be up and running.
Sorry, re-registering will be required as I will update the pool software to the latest and I find to avoid problems, it is just easier to start with a clean database.

So after the proportional shuts down, the PPS pool should be back up in a couple of hours (maybe sooner). 

[Pmalek]

YEEEEYYYYYY!!!!   Thank You!!!

PS: dont forget to open a thread...

YEEEEYYYYYY!!!!   Thank You!!!

PS: dont forget to open a thread...

There has always been one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=215642.0

I am always giving out the thread address. It just appears nobody pays attention to it and always contact me through a coins main thread.  


The Goldcoin pool:

Due to a surprising amount of request, the Goldcoin PPS pool will be coming back.


6 PM (CDT) today I will shut the proportional pool down, get final payouts done, clean up the server and get the PPS Pool back up again.

Time compare: It is 3:40 PM CDT now.

The PPS pool with have both stratum and LP ports.

I will announce the ports when the pool is ready.

[BlazinBeaches]

Awesome Dreamwatcher, sounds good
