Pool Details
VARDIFF | Stratum | PPLNS | DDOS Protection

MooPool.com Has decided to drop all taxes to 0% in every pool!

Custom Platform Projected Launch Date: January 20th

~Planned Feature List~

Referral Program! - Users can earn 1% of their referrals 2% pool tax!
One pool, Many Coins! - Only one account, and one set of workers will be needed to mine any and all of our coins.
Easy Sign In! - Use your MooPool account, or other services to log in.
Full Ticketing System! - For a much easier time keeping track of, and properly responding to all open tickets. No more Gmail nonsense.
Advanced Pool and Worker Statistics - Faster, more accurate pool data.
Easy Start Scripts! Copy and paste the start scripts for each worker to easily start mining.
Increased Security! The additional safety of proprietary pool code, and a passion for cutting edge security.
Mandatory Automatic Payouts! - We are not (currently) a wallet service and do not want the opportunity to lose anybody's coins.
Community Interaction! - Chat with your fellow miners live, or in the forums.
Advanced Admin Features! - To help us efficiently maintain and upgrade our pools.

~Development Update #1~

When we decided to make MooPool.com, we set out determined to create the next best pooling website. As we were developing, we became aware of the prompt need for a second pool to support the new popularity of our favorite coin, CasinoCoin. To help support the coin we opened early with the open source "MPOS" pooling platform. While we were able to fill the need for a time, other MPOS pools have since stepped in to do the same thing (and are doing a great job). Managing this MPOS platform has turned out to be non stop work finding and hotfixing pool breaking bugs, potential security holes, and fending off a myriad of MPOS targeted attacks being developed every day (since it's open source and everybody can see the MPOS code, it makes it a target). While we are absolutely happy to do this, it's holding us back from what we want MooPool to become. As a result:

We have decided to make some policy changes.

In order to help us focus on completing our new platform, we will be reducing support for the MPOS platform to a minimum.

--What this means for you, while using the the MPOS platform--

We will no longer be taking responsibility for users coins. While we will of course protect them as best we can, every user should have automatic payouts setup.
We are not, and do not (currently), want to be an online wallet service.
We will no longer be pursuing minor hotfixes, security advances, and new features in the MPOS platform. If there is a critical failure with the MPOS platform we will likely just reset the pool and keep coding the new one.
If you have a specific concerns regarding how these changes relate to your account please email us at MooPoolMining@gmail.com. We will be handling concerns on a case by case basis.

--What this means for MooPool.com as a whole.--

These changes will allow us to aggressively pursue our custom mining platform.
This also allows us release a projected completion time of two weeks (January 20th).
We are also able to drop taxes to 0% till the completion of our new platform.
We are excited to finally be able to announce our feature list!

[CartmanSPC]

Yay, now maybe the main thread can focus on coin development

As for the Casinocoin p2pool I will try to list the public nodes here (in alphabetical order):

http://csc.squiggie.com:19327/
http://csc.xpool.net:8840/
http://us-east1.cryptovein.com:8840



If you would like to start your own node you can find the source here:

If I have any public nodes missing please send me a PM.

Sick of bad or laggy CASINOCOIN pools?  Want a dedicated solution with quick payments, and an administrator who knows what he's doing?

CSC.DEDICATEDPOOL.COM


- Running mpos/stratum.
- Dedicated server with 256GB RAM, SSD RAID 10 drives, Ubuntu, 1GB dedicated connection
- 2% fees PPLNS (this barely covers server costs but makes sure that this pool will continue to thrive going forward)
- VARDIFF implemented
- No lag, no downtime, 24/7 all the time.
- Backups every 30 minutes of server wallets, server infrastructure, and SQL databases.
- Redundant fail-over server in another part of the world.
- DDoS protection
- Computer engineer administrator (don't settle for less)

We take your mining SERIOUSLY just like you.  I pride myself on making this the best Casino Coin server ever, and will protect your interests and mining going forward.  I have built a proper sustainable model that is fair for all parties.  Pools that charge less than 2% will not cover their costs and when that happens admins make decisions that may not be good for the miners, as we've seen many, many times in the past.

Hope to see you around

glc.dedicatedpool.com - global coin
gdc.dedicatedpool.com - grand coin

Mined for 12 hours and got CSC 4,49, 1265/1266 accepted. gtx260 hashing at 35.3 Kh/s with q6600@3.0.

Wonderful! Everybody try this pool, it works like a charm.

Glad to hear you're happy with the pool! So far the whole pool is operating at a 97.84% efficiency. However, my miners have yet to drop below 99.9%

[murderouskirk]

By the way I saw the network hit 1 GH/s last night, just wanted to congratulate everyone on the growth! ^_^

Update: coincount unchanged since last post. 6 hours to find a block? i'm confused. but im also a noob...

As the difficulty goes up with popularity it becomes harder to break blocks. Simply put the more popular CSC gets the more hashing power we need to compete break blocks. The pool dipped in strength a bit while SirSavary and I were asleep, but I'm working on a bit of marketing now which should help.

Also I think we found a block 3 hours ago, not 6?

Thanks for your reply.  I'll try for another 24 hours but I'd really like to see more 0.07 CSC for 6 hours of poolmining...

We've decided to hold at 0% till the pool grows and we get some custom features launched. We will also likely be dropping the expected fee down from our initial thought of 5% to something more appropriate.

MooPool.com - 0% - Help us grow so we can implement sweet new features!

At Mega Mineros we are finding blocks fast!! Take a look at the statistics at https://www.megamineros.com/CSC/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks. Also we are the only pool that has its site protected by 128 nit encryption SSL. All the other sites are wide open to hackers trying to steal your credentials. Also we have multiple stratum nodes (comming soon with a node in europe as well) and have had 100% uptime for the last 2 days now. We have Uptime monitoring in place now as well https://www.megamineros.com/CSC/index.php?page=statistics&action=uptime

We are doing 25 MHash now but have room for some more!

[murderouskirk]

All the other sites are wide open to hackers trying to steal your credentials.

Ehhh have you been pen testing other pools or something? MooPool.com is well secured. If you have actual reason to believe other pools are "Wide Open" please let the pool operators know about the vulnerabilities you've found so we can keep the community safe.

[moowh]

There's a new CasinoCoin pool at http://csc.moowh.nl/

It has stratum, VARDIFF, PPLNS, just 1% fee and a block finders reward.

Your site is not encrypted at all, so your users submit there username and password in cleartext when they login. Hackers sniff traffic to known sites of interrest to catch usernames and passwords. If you want to prevent that please add SSL security to your pool!

[ajochems]

We now have our node in Europe up and running as well. If you add all three to your cgminer.conf it will act as a failsave over the three nodes available. Place them in the order of nearest vicinity:

Code:

"pools" : [
{
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://latinoamerica.megamineros.com:3334",
   "user" : "username.worker1",
   "pass" : "x"
},
{
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://norteamerica.megamineros.com:3334",
   "user" : "username.worker1",
   "pass" : "x"
},
{
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://europa.megamineros.com:3334",
   "user" : "username.worker1",
   "pass" : "x"
}

So has everyone else noticed a notable drop in the network mining rate? The total network is sitting around 250MH/s now. I know we experienced a large bump due to coinwarz listing CasinoCoin as the most profitable for a while. Is it safe to assume this is CasinoCoin's more natural hash rate?

Yeah, my pool dropped from 150Mh/s to 50Mh/s in the past couple of days. I guess everyone is now mining Dogecoin, which is something that I didn't expect to happen

[ajochems]

The currency hoppers are back again    the net hash rate jumped from 200 to 500 and next difficulty will rise from 1.9 to 3. The hoppers will then probabbly leave again. It would be really nice if we could prevent this somehow, otherwise mining casinocoin will never get entirely stable.
