[AnnihilaT]

Ill leave the original post below intact for posterity but Mainframe is shutting its doors.   Dont worry we werent hacked and all BTC is safe and will be paid out on the same schedule as normal.
Please see this post for more detail:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=24650.msg585867#msg585867

---------------------------------------------

Hi!

Mainframe is a mining pool founded with the goal of giving something back to the developers who help make bitcoin what it is and continue to improve it.

The Mainframe Mining Cooperative is an open registration charity mining pool which gives 50% of its earnings in user set donations to open source bitcoin developers and writers. (https://github.com/Unthinkingbit/charity/blob/master/bitcoindonationinformation.html)

!!! NEW !!!
The charity features are optional! If you want to help support developers, just set a donation percentage in your "Account Details" page. You control if you want to donate and how much you want to donate.

If you just want to mine with us and not worry about the whole charity thing, just leave your donation percentage set at zero to opt-out of the charity features of this pool.
----

(If you are a bitcoin open source developer or writer, you can post your information on the bitcoin donation thread (https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=18498) to request addition to the list of developers we donate to.)

We currently have an administration fee of 0.5% and utilize a PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares) scoring system for a fair payout to our committed miners. This is no longer a "pool-hopper friendly" pool.

You can use the following URL to mine with us:

Kinda interested in your pool, what seems odd to me is. shows you mining and .13/day in bitcoins but thats not entirely true cause when you crack that block it will be 50btc. Since ur getting 100% of shares...

[AnnihilaT]

Ok had a look...actually its correct.  

This is just an estimate and is calculated in 2 steps.  First calculate the time per block:

Code:

        function CalculateTimePerBlock( $btc_difficulty, $_hashrate ){
                if( $btc_difficulty > 0 && $_hashrate > 0 ) {
                        $find_time_hours = ((($btc_difficulty * bcpow(2,32)) / ($_hashrate * bcpow(10,6))) / 3600);

So bascially is the standard 2**32 calculation to find average time to solve a block based on a given hashrate  (similar to what the online mining calculators do).

Second step is calculate the coins per day. 

Code:

 
function CoinsPerDay( $time_per_block, $btc_block ){
                if( $time_per_block > 0 && $btc_block > 0 ) {
                        $coins_per_day = (24 / $time_per_block) * $btc_block;

Anyway as you can see its just an estimate and the real stats to look at are to the left in terms of income you will be expected to earn.
In my stats to the left it says i am estimated at 49.13488098 BTC for this round which actually just went down from 49.25 because you started mining

Uh I registered and tried to login but nothing happens when I click login - it just reloads the same page.

[edit] Solved!

[AnnihilaT]

Which browser?  Are you sure you typed your pass correctly?  Which user name did you sign up with ?

Latest opera.
Yes, I'm sure. I even tried a bogus user/pw combo and still the same - just processes something for a second, then opens up the exact same page, like nothing happened.

Oh last thing i can think of is that you need to allow and enable cookies for this website.... its part of how we authenticate and log you in.   Is that maybe blocked?

Nope, I checked and I don't have any cookes.

Do you do any fancy redirects/flash calls? I have Opera set to not allow any cookies from any external domains, and plugins blocked.

Problem solved!

Gonna take awhile to hit our first block at just under 1GH/s but when we do,  the payout will be much larger for you and you are also a 0% fee user so thats another big plus for you!  

Cheers to you early adopters!

P.S. There are still 12 early adopter 0% fee slots left!

[AnnihilaT]

And we are finally moving!   Nice job guys!  approaching 2 GH

still 10 early adopter slots left!
