[ANN][POOLS] Proportional Payout Pools with 5% Finder Reward

[classicshirtsforhim]

Hi guys,

I just joined the Fastcoin pool today - much, much better than the one I left.  In no time, I was making a lot more coin (even with my crappy hash rates).  I even found a block of 1 share today!  Sweet!  Talk about lucky.  So glad I moved.

Thanks!  Things are running smoothly with all the pools now.  There was an issue with one of our servers where it ran out of disk space and a few pools were affected.  The problem was fixed and nothing was lost.  Payouts were made and things are back to normal.  The pools affected were as follows:

fast.ub3rl33t.com

wdc.ub3rl33t.com

franko.ub3rl33t.com

dgc.ub3rl33t.com

sbc.ub3rl33t.com

meme.ub3rl33t.com

ezc.minepool.net

They are all functioning properly now.

For anyone interested, Don't run your Mysql server in replication mode (which is default) without the proper set up to purge the massive bin files that will result!  Problem solved.

Some pools are deleted? Such as http://fast.minepool.net/

NO.. that pool is up.

Added today, anoncoin - anon.cryptcoins.net

[classicshirtsforhim]

NO... that pool is not up.  It has not been up for a number of days and I am out my entire fastcoin balance as a result.  (Not much, mind you - around 200 coins)

[classicshirtsforhim]

Ok.  fast.minepool.net seems to be back up.  At least, I am able to get there again and my account seems to be intact.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Markus,

Is it possible to enable manual cash out for your franko pool?

Thank you,
Ray

I'm supposed to be getting 9.961(estimated) frankos @ 6198 KH/s per day (0.415 per hour), but it's been 6 hours and I've only received 0.49345122 frankos.

As i saw this pool give a lot less reward to you.
I was mining fast in this pool and receiving just 1000 FST day.... I changed pool and now i receive 2600 - 3000 FST day.
I also checked difficulty and is increased when i changed the pool (LOOOL).
I think there is something they don't write (maybe indicated pool fees are not true?)

[Gorets]

strange pool.. FST
In solo mining i have minimum 50FST per houh, in lucky hour - 100 and more,
try this pool and have 10 FST per our... dont understand.

Update
I try pool http://sbc.ub3rl33t.com/ - i was only single worker...
I find 3 blocks - reward for block - 25SBC -3% Fee, but on balans i get 23.8744035

23.8744035+0.69964650 - 25= 0.42 SBC, where it lost?
its = as 5% pool fee

This pool makes me confused, I mean the ANON Pool. It showed me that at diff 3.5, I can mine 2200 ANC per day, I mined like 4hrs + and just got over 120 ANC ? Does that pool have something wrong ?

[cardedon]

Is a scam i think...... i had the same result in each pool of this website

[classicshirtsforhim]

I am diffenately having a problem with FST.  Mining at about 500k and not getting squat.  Hours and hours and only 14 FST?  Also, I am showing about 550k most of the time on my end, but my stats never show me above 400k.  Going to have to find another pool I guess, or switch coins.

I think we're missing the "uncounted shares" # which clearly states tons of shared backed up. maybe this system is just backed up because they don't have the bank to cover immediate payouts?

We'll have to review these pools, Fastcoin, Megacoin, AnonCoin, FrankoCoin.  They were running great for over a month , until a week ago when we got a LOT of traffic.  The coins are getting paid out because we are getting less and less from the fees.  It will take some time to look at how the payouts have distributed amongst the miners.  I suggest you move to other pools as we will most likely reinvent the core code to use the stratum server to do more along the lines of alerting block discovery immediately without cron job polling of the coin client.  Other things need to be optimized for when we get large hashing power.  Once we got over 300mhs on a pool.. it stopped behaving normally.  We are not scamming!  We are not short coins on any pool, and we are not even holding any more than the fees should have produced.  Somehow even we are getting screwed here and we are working on finding out why.

Thanks for taking the time to address the issue.  When you get it fixed, let me know and I will be back at the pool for another swim.

The Megacoin pool is definitely broken.

Constantly losing mass amounts of shares because of disconnections.

Yes That is true..We see the same thing.  We are doing alot of work and have some great revisions that we are excited about that will VASTLY improve the pools we offer.  Sorry for these issues, We will update everyone in this thread.

Sorry that previous comment was probably a bit blunter than it needed to be.

Consider it a by-product of my frustrations that any kind of ETA would go a long way to alleviating this.

I like the pool, especially the reward for block finders. More pools should have this perk.

Am I mistaken that the pool hash rate has dropped quite a lot?
