Hello
For some time past I've been working on a multipool and can see a great opportunity if implemented for Blitz coin.
We all see success of Blackcoin and its soaring price. It was mentioned in this forum before that multipool would be a great idea, but it's been quiet now.
I have an experience in running pools which are successful.
The multipool is programmed from scratch, I didn't use ready software which other multipools use.
The things that have been done so far or which can be implemented swiftly are :
-1) At the moment user name for rigs is a wallet address
How would you like it to be, shall it be left as such or would it be better for it to have a custom name ?
2) Workers. At the moment there is only one worker, all the rigs of one user work on one worker.
Do you want to have a possibility of adding more custom workers for your account ? I think that multiworkers are a better solutions .
The reason is that, In some situations a worker can be temporarily banned (for example because of large number of invalid shares), then automatically all mining rigs on this worker will be cut off for some time.
There will be a possibility to check hashrate for each worker and the percentage of valid and invalid shares
3) The process of mining and what you can see in your profile:
a) There is a list of coins which we can point our main port to
b) the coin that is currently mined is visible
c) at each coin there is information about the number of coins that a person have already mined, (regularly updated)
- the user will know how many coins have been sent to exchange for Blitz
d) the history of all transactions made at a user's account will be visible to the user - fee, withdrawals, donations
4) Exchanges - I am currently doing it manually but working on the ways to do it automatically.
Things that still need to be worked on:
1) script for checking, taking information and saving it in database from sites such as whatmine.com or a similar website. Maybe there is someone in here who already has it and would like to share.
2) automatic exchange
Test version of multipool will be ready in about 3 to 5 days. For a test we will be mining one of the most stable coins (which doesn't have to be the most profitable - Here I am asking for suggestions)
We are able to mine most of scripts available out there. Which would you like to start with in the test phase ? Suggestions?
For a start of multipool the stratum servers will be located in Europe. After the test phase more stratum servers will be located in the USA too.
I am looking forward to hearing your comments / suggestions / constructive criticism.

MrNick
MrNick,
I am surprised you have not got much response from this. I am not able to help out, but can offer my comments as a miner.
This is news many of us have been waiting for quite some time now. I think your plan is awesome !! I really like the idea of being able to see what is currently being mined. If you could have all the same stats that a regular pool would have, I think many people would be very interested.
It would go a long way if all the work behind the scenes was as transparent as possible, you would get a lot more trust put into your pool.
It would be nice to see full stats of the currently mined coin and even possibly historical stats of previously mined coins that day as well.
I like the idea of having multiple workers as opposed to connecting via the wallet address. users would have an account to login/setup workers with and then we register our BLITZ address on the site itself for payments.
In detail, here is what I think would be nice to see for stats pages:
Current coin being mined :
- show all stats a regular pool would show.
previously mined coins within current pay period :
- show how many coins were mined by pool and by individuals.
- show the timeframe the coins were mined.
- show the percentage of shares the user received for that coin.
** this would give the miners everything they really need to know without going overboard **
previous days of mining:
- just simply show how many coins were paid out during recent pay periods.
trading summary :
- show all transactions related to turning the mined coins into BLITZ.
Once again, very surprised there have not been many people responding to this... I guess they are too busy watching/following everything else that is going on in the markets for the past 24 hours... I know I have been. My measly 3MH is excited and ready to help you test out the pool when the time comes, I think others will be as well.
Current state of Blitzcoin... we have someone willing to implement POS and rework the wallet (I agree with the addition of 1M coins to pay chango), check. We now have someone putting together a multi-pool, check. Now we need a larger exchange so the multipool has more volume to buy up the coins and get blitzcoin more known. This is the job of the community, start voting on mintpal ( I think this is a a good exchange to aim for). you can vote 5 times an hour, so while your watching BC go to the moon, go to the voting page everything once a while (ideally every hour) and get to clicking.... donate BLTZ so we can buy some votes as we still a ways to get to the top of thelist.
I don't think we will be as big as blackcoin, but we may be able to ride the wave they have created since Blitz is very similar.
obviously, we all want blitzcoin to mimmick blackcoin, this will not happen on its own or even with a new wallet and a multi-pool.... the community needs to step up.
going forward:
- I have not seen anyone disagree with adding 1M BLITZ to the supply in order to pay chango for the new wallet. to be fair, it might be a good idea to start a poll to see what everyone thinks and give the community a say. I am confident most will be fine with this, but I think we should still give the community a say.
- @chango, are you planning on running with future updates for the wallet ? or are you offering a one time fix kind of deal ?
- does anyone have any neat/innovative ideas for the new wallet ? I think some sort of coin control system would be neat, maybe estimated stake info as well ? post some of your ideas.
- maybe another poll to decide on the POS details would be a good idea as well.
- vote vote vote on mintpal
- update the OP with current info, we have good news now, we need to make sure everyone else sees this as well. should have the address for BLITZ donations there also.
- get the word out there.... make others aware of the bright future BLITZcoin has.
BLITZ will not go to the moon on its own... we need to 'launch' it there ourselves...
I am by no means a big player in the blitz community, but I will donate 20k blitz once the OP has been updated with the donation address. we have people out there with millions of coins, please consider donating some as it will only help make your coins worth a lot more than 100-250 satoshi each.
Let's get our ducks in a row and make this work.
Cheers.
