BTCServ - [hacked / for now down]

[wtfman]

3 Namecoin blocks have been found so far and turned in to Bitcoins to feed the queue.

By the way, I am kinda disappointed to see quite a few miners leave after the queue went from positive to negative and instant rewards have gone for now. Thus, I am thinking about changing the payout rules for the queue, so newer shares have higher priority over older shares. That would be in favor of active miners.

Everyone mining at this pool is getting very decent payout and has the freedom to decide how much he wants to contribute to the pool, instead of paying a fixed fee. Even though the rewards are not instant currently, the value still remains the same. If you leave as soon as queued PPS is active you just delay the payment even more.

try smpps way of splitting rewards between older shares and newer shares.

[wtfman]

will have a look at it

read #65 & #66, and next time ask yourself some simple questions  - "what if ..."

lol, the pool hash power increased and is still bigger than it was back then.

why are you complaining then, maybe that 13M shares block is close and you know it.

I like the "active miners first" payout system, though I think it should be proportional to hash rate as you wouldn't want to give the bulk of payouts to a server-farm miner that has left the pool bar a token few hashes.

I'll look forward to some better calculations on namecoin payouts.

difficulty dropped. please update PPS value.

pps is adjusted automatically, unfortunately the value displayed at the site does not change.

Am I never going to get  1.19862518btc I have in my balance because I don't mine there anymore? I've been waiting forever for the balance to be moved from pending...

If you pay newer shares first, then does that mean you are just going to keep my btc hostage forever?  

wtfman?

first come first serve is still active. sorry that you are disappointed but still everything caused by bad luck.

also even if newest shares would be paid first it wouldnt mean that you never receive your payout unless something is wrong with the pool. Should even out in the long run.

I guess I wait some more. I've been waiting since bitcoin was above $3 lol

[wtfman]

Hey, happy holidays everyone.

Thought of dropping some info about the current state of the queue after the recent lucky streak. Still the queue is not evened out but we are currently only 3 blocks behind and not 10 anymore. Let us hope the streak continues so everyone receives their share more quickly.

Merged Mining implemented but not yet split in to Bitcoin and Namecoin payouts. Thus I have increased the Bitcoin PPS to 0.0000385 for now until this has been done.

What rates are you currently offering for NMC -> BTC and how often is it updated?

[m3ta]

The last of responses and participation from the pool operator in this thread... is worrying.

I have never offered rates for NMC -> BTC and are not doing this currently aswell.

Ah cmon. I know that I am not really present currently but everyone is always being paid properly and the pool is running stable.

I should've phrased it better.
Your earlier post implied that you are currently receiving both BTC and NMC from the pool, but since you do not have the infrastructure set up, you keep the NMC and pay out more BTC instead.
What I was wondering was: how much more, and do you alter it based on the current BTC <-> NMC exchange rate?

[tripper22]

I'm really liking your pool so far.  

Is there any way to put my bitcoin address in permanently or do I always have to put the address in manually when I wanna get paid?

Also what is the current pool buffer?

Is it located somewhere on your website?

Thanks!
