Do understand that there is a reason that miners chose to mine with us. We survived several attacks and DDOSs and was STABLE. While other pool owners were trying to get their pool together (no offense to other owners), we were up, running, and stable. No apologies there. We are here for the long run, and we will continue to provide amazing support.
So again, if you have any suggestions, I am open to them, but I do not want to punish my miners any more than 3% because they chose to mine with us.
I do understand why people choose to mine with you, heck - there is a reason that I frequently sit down to do the math whether the
payout of a pool matches what I expect in return for my hash rate - else I better move to a pool that pays out honestly (I have exposed
some cheating pools that were not paying out what they should, simply because I do my due diligence)
Not saying anything bad about you or your pool - miners make decisions to mine with a certain pool.
If a coin is extremely difficult to mine (as this one was in the beginning) then it is very tempting to go to the biggest pool
that pays out most frequently because they find more blocks (even though the payout is much lower, it really does not matter in
the long run *where* you mine, as long as the pool is running correctly, the rewards only depend on your hash rate, not the pool's.
The smaller pool just means *larger* rewards, less frequently.
Anyway - I checked the network hash rate and the various pools once more and I suddenly noticed that Cryptopool is now finding as many blocks as Leetpools, both have 4 blocks in the last hour.
Network hash rate is 182Mh/s, Cryptopool is reporting 100Mh/s and Leetpools is reporting 230Mh/s ?
Something is not adding up here!
It appears that the network problems are not as big as I thought,
Leetpools is just reporting an inflated pool hashing rate, but from the found blocks it appears that there are
two almost equal pools: Leetpools and Cryptopool, each having close to 50% of the network hash rate.
