Ok... I know it's been awhile with no updates.. The development of late has been like a duck, slow, smooth, serene movement above the surface, and a lot of furious, hectic, chaotic movement below the water line.
Lava's pushpool pay's out correctly, instead of skipping blocks and dumping payouts directly to the operator. He's been willing to share his "fix"with the wider community, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in fairly paying miners.. And I've probably said too much so I'll change the subject.
There's a few things we haven't talked about, because they haven't panned out yet. One that has is we have server space in a datacenter, and it's the real deal including more bandwidth than is sane and battery backup or as Lava put it "the whole nine yards".
The much touted website is up on a server and needed a few minor tweaks, but honestly, I was pretty much burnt out when lynos gave me a "rough draft" of how he would do it:
http://lynortis.com/sxc-t1/ I don't know about you, but it blew my mind.
There's the wow factor just there. We've asked Lynos to unleash his creativity on the old site (Now reffered to as the sucky one) and we don't care when he finishs adding his magic to it. I guess people will just have to go to github for a little while longer to grab a client..
Lava has been doing more than is healthy behind the scenes, and we're hoping he eases up before he is afflicted with his own case of burn out, so we are trying ease the pace a little.
The p2pool is out of beta, but not officailly announced.. I want to hold back on that until we have a few more things to announce and see what effect it has when we make all our announcements at once.. Muhahahahahaha
The downside is our miners will have to put up with being paid bonuses for the beta pool, and should enjoy a low hashrate and difficulty for a while longer without those annoying spikes. It also means that I can grab more SXC for bountys which from the way things are going, will require more than I anticipated.
I'm also planning on trading some of my other alts for more SXC to be prudent.
So guys there you have it.. Some things are pretty much finished, some are taking much longer but the results will be worth it, and we are waiting to see if other things eventuate.
