Gonna be switching over to this pool from Bitpenny. The extra 7% makes a big difference for me.

Thanks again for running the server! Do you foresee any issues on the network/hardware side that might drive up the current 3% fee if we grow closer to the size of slush's pool?

My first post! My first pool! Ran the Ufasoft overnight last night and made a shiny penny.
Thanks, Tycho.

You are welcome :) My pool software is much more efficient, so i don't see any problems with number of clients.

Whats the propability that my cpuminer got 0 shares in last 2 (edit: 3) blocks? They were solved in under an hour and my miner was running all day approx 700 khash/s.

At 700kh/s, I would say it is quite possible you didn't get a share within an hour. There are times my 3300kh/s doesn't get one for an hour, it's just luck.

The average time to generate a block at 700 Khps, given the supplied difficulty of 1, is 1 hour, 42 minutes, and 15 seconds. Last two blocks visible to public were 30+32 minutes or 1 hour and 2 minutes, which is shorter than your expected 1 hour, 42 minutes Try using GPU instead.

I have been much happier on proportional of late as we are knocking out the blocks in quick fashion...

Hehe, don't say this - you are still on 30ghashes, I had no problems on this speed, too (and also don't have problem at current 90ghash/s). And please don't forget that lot of issues was caused by non optimized miners; I spent weeks with miner developers to find those glitches and bugs. The last huge improvement was support for long living HTTP connections, this was the reason why I closed the pool registrations, because hundreds of miners connecting every few seconds literally DDoSed the server with SYN floods. I never had troubles with speed of pool software itself and I see your statement as little unfair, because you didin't have to solve 90% of troubles which I had. Just my 2 cents...

[03:51] <[Tycho]> On how many getworks/sec did you started to get problems in the first time ? [03:51] <slush1> I think around 30ghash, not sure which getwork/s it was
I based my statement on those your words. If you weren't talking truth, then ok, my statement is not true too. And since registration is still closed, i assumed that you had at least some problems with your current 90 Gh/s. I never had troubles with speed of pool software itself and I see your statement as little unfair, because you didin't have to solve 90% of troubles which I had. Just my 2 cents...
I was talking about all the pool complex in total. Sorry, no offense intended.

Nobody is lying here. Yes, in my case on 30ghash/s the bitcoind started to fail. But it is not related to hashrate, but to getworks/sec. As you're using the same core as me, you'll hit the same problems later. But maybe no, because you know (from me) that there will be problems with bitcoind. That's the point. Btw, my pool software (not bitcoind) can handle thousands of getworks per second and I never had problems with speed of my custom software. (Bts it's nice example of another issue, in the times when I made the pool, running more instances of bitcoind on the same machine was not possible because of hardcoded listening on the 8333 port.)

Ok, sorry again for this, my statement was unsuitable. You are doing great work and thanks for info about bitcoind.

This is little offtopic, but the right reason why I closed registration was that in the some point pool started to grow exponentially (difficulty was low, bitcoin price was high and somebody slashdotted it) and I was too slow in adding more and more bitcoinds ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . For current pool users, there is no reason for making pool even bigger; more ghash/s does not add any benefit for them.
