FWIW, Eligius continues to offer no fee SMPPS which has maintained the same payout as straight PPS longer than any other pool.
Yes, except the pool op is well known for using his miners' hash rate in a very cavalier fashion and denying the fact afterwards.
The only reason I migrated my miners from Eligius was your dishonesty about the whole matter, Luke - if you break the trust so easily I don't want to have anything to do with your pool.

And the 'stuff' *1 you insert into the block headers is a mighty heavy "fee" for many people.

*1 I didn't say "crap" because that would be oh-so-heathenish.

Why the frell so many retards spell "ect" as an abbreviation of "Et Cetera"? "ETC", DAMMIT! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et_cetera

Since ABC Pool hasn't said it yet:  Please take this out of ABCPool's thread.  There should not be an entire page dedicated to talking about luke-jr in a pool that has nothing to do with him.

The pool is having connectivity issues. We're looking into it.
UPDATE: Pool is back, but the reason of unavailability is still unknown at the moment.
We found the reason of the outage yesterday, and it also explains some earlier problems with stagnation in work supply and share processing.

Some technical details on this: Our code is completely event-based and runs in a single thread. Therefore it's important that at no point there is a blocking function call, or all other tasks must wait for it to complete. It turns out there was a blocking call hidden in one of the libraries we use, that normally returns fast enough not to notice any performance issues, but will under certain conditions block for up to 10 seconds. We've now swapped out the library for a custom version that supports a non-blocking variant of the same functionality.

So what does this change for you?
- Your miner spends even less time idling than before
- Increased pool reliability

- Increased pool reliability

Please call you service what it really is.

- Increased PROXY reliability
At proxy pools like ABCPool, people still 'pool' their hash power in the common english sense of the word, suggesting that proxy pools are a subtype of mining pools. So ABCPool is a pool that proxies work.

Indeed, ABCPool falls within the definition of 'pooled mining' as featured on the Official Bitcoin Wiki for a long, very long time:
Quote
Pooled mining is a mining approach where multiple generating clients contribute to the generation of a block, and then split the block reward according the contributed processing power. Pooled mining effectively reduces the granularity of the block generation reward, spreading it out more smoothly over time.
Quote
The Pay-per-Share approach
The Pay-per-Share (PPS) approach, first described by BitPenny, is to offer an instant flat payout for each share that is solved. The payout is offered from the pool's existing balance and can therefore be withdrawn immediately, without waiting for a block to be solved or confirmed.
(Quotes from https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Pooled_mining)

The page mentions the generation of blocks but does not limit where that generation has to take place. At ABCPool people contribute to the generation of blocks just like at any other pool.

And then there's a more informal argument: I believe it to be ingrained on most miners (and people new to mining) that to decrease variance in earnings, you should join a pool. Decreasing earnings variance is  exactly what ABCPool takes to the extreme by offering PPS rewards, so those people will acknowledge it's a pool. Indeed, in the forums it's common for people to use the term 'pool' when referring to proxy pools like ABCPool, Clipse, Project #2, Multipool, etc.

We are in the business of providing a pool mining service to miners. That's what we promise, that's what we deliver, and that's what our miners are looking for. The fact that part of the work is forwarded is an important detail for some vocal people here on the forum, but not the essence of why people choose to mine with us.

For those that insist on the term 'proxy', at least consider the more informative 'proxy pool' moniker. It recognizes both the pooled nature of pools like ABCPool and the fact that they forward (part of the) hashpower.

EDIT: I may have been wrong about Clipse. To be sure, I'm retracting that statement.

And then there's a more informal argument: I believe it to be ingrained on most miners (and people new to mining) that to decrease variance in earnings, you should join a pool. Decreasing earnings variance is  exactly what ABCPool takes to the extreme by offering PPS rewards, so those people will acknowledge it's a pool. Indeed, in the forums it's common for people to use the term 'pool' when referring to proxy pools like ABCPool, Clipse, Project #2, Multipool, etc.

We are in the business of providing a pool mining service to miners. That's what we promise, that's what we deliver, and that's what our miners are looking for. The fact that part of the work is forwarded is an important detail for some vocal people here on the forum, but not the essence of why people choose to mine with us.

What are you implying ? That I am lying? Please dont start spreading FUD over what I do just to save your own skin.

I referenced your service in a neutral way Clipse, no judgement.

I may have been wrong about the nature of your service. I don't know it very well and have only been following the early conversations in your topic. Therefore I retract my statement about Clipse being a proxy pool, and have edited my earlier message to reflect that.

My apologies if I've offended you.

Indeed, ABCPool falls within the definition of 'pooled mining' as featured on the Official Bitcoin Wiki for a long, very long time:
Quote
Pooled mining is a mining approach where multiple generating clients contribute to the generation of a block, and then split the block reward according the contributed processing power. Pooled mining effectively reduces the granularity of the block generation reward, spreading it out more smoothly over time.

Nice attempt at playing semantics; unfortunately, you fail. By your interpretation of the above definition, any ISP would be a bitcoin pool too.

Whats described above is not a definition of a pool, but an explanation of what pooled mining does. Its widely understood that a pool generates blocks. You dont.

And btw, until proven otherwise, neither does Clipse. If Clipse doesnt like being called a proxy service, then he should publish the blocks he has generated.

For those that insist on the term 'proxy', at least consider the more informative 'proxy pool' moniker. It recognizes both the pooled nature of pools like ABCPool and the fact that they forward (part of the) hashpower.
Interesting. So you do mine some of your own blocks with your own bitcoind (or equivalent)?

I would be interested in the response to RJK's question as well, however, my personal opinion is that even if they don't, any (standard non-bitcoin) definition of pooling resources would include running them through a proxy and make "proxy pool" a reasonable description, allowing one to claim "proxy and pool" or "pool and proxy" if they mined their own blocks as well.  However, all of this is moot so long as users know how their hashrate is used.
