MONERO.RS 100 XMR Giveaway (RE-OPENED)

[MONERO.RS]

***GIVEAWAY*** 100 XMR!!! (RE-OPENED)

Tell us about new feature you'd like to have available on our pool. We will pick 5 best suggestions and award each poster with 20 XMR!
Giveaway will probably end within 72h, and please, no spam posts

MONERO.RS team is bothered by the lack of innovation and features provided by other XMR pools.
Top pools (with the exception of Dwarfpool and Minergate) run stock software with little to no customization.

MONERO.RS was launched on August 27th and has since implemented :

• New hashing module, twice the speed of the current cryptonote-universal-pool hashing module!
• Claymore fee optional - miners decide whether to pay or not!
• Multi-Nodes, Europe, USA, Canada, Asia! Ultra-low latency - more blocks - no wasted hash
• Private linux miner with 5-12% boost in performance (AES only CPUs) compared to cpuminer-multi public version

New features to be released next week:

• Individual worker stats - monitor your rigs in real-time!
• Mining to an exchange address

Winners:

• 1. myagui (Entry) - Reward: 20 XMR - Status: Claimed
• 2. wachtwoord (Entry) - Reward: 20 XMR - Status: Claimed
• 3. equipoise (Entry) - Reward: 20 XMR - Status: Claimed
• 4. Miki (Entry) - Reward: 20 XMR - Status: Claimed
• 5. myagui (Entry) - Reward: 10 XMR - Status: Claimed
• 5. XMR Dev Fund - Reward: 10 XMR - Status: Claimed

Estimate Mining Profits in USD/EUR, maybe even a full profitability calculator (think coinwars) 

[sandor111]

If you can implement it; merged mining with other CryptoNote coins.

Free porn every week, buy tokens on xxx webcam chats and share it with users

[Coindgr]

- An option to pay in BTC, it would be the first cryptonote pool with this

- A graphic with network hashrate and difficulty over time

- Merged mining (mentioned by sandor111) would be great

Mining to exchange address

[coinits]

- ability to download my footprint on your site in a nice neat zip

include hashing history
block discovery history
transaction history

- miners who find a block get a bonus - part of your fee or a % of the block total.

Could be great a multipool for crypto coin. possibility to select the prefered coin (like www.coinmine.pw)

This is a good idea gwada, I would get back into mining a little coin if I could use a CryptoNote multipool.

[Globb0]

Enhanced miners dashboard with explorable history, graphs and stuff.

[BitcoinForumator]

MinerGate (.com) type of GUI. With optional CPU or GPU mining or both.

Ease of use is very important.

[wachtwoord]

1. An increase in usability of the client. This doesn't need to be a GUI per se, but now people need to run two separate executable before it works. Additionally you need to execute a specific command to save the blockchain before closing the program (or your computer crashing) or you lose all your downloaded blockchain data. Finally, without typing refresh the balance isn't updated based on fresh blockchain data. All of these things can be smoothed down so less skilled people can also run their own wallet (which is extremely important).

2. Cold storage functionality (maybe team up with Armory client): As the amount of money increases cold storage functionality gets more and more important. I see you have implemented a mnemonic of a certain number of words to regenerate your wallet. This is very good, but extending the client with automated printing would be better (low threshold). What's more, you want to be able to save the keys on an offline system as is possible for Bitcoin with Armory. You want to generate the transactions on an online system (with Blockchain), sign them on an offline system and then broadcast them on the online system again. This way the keys never touch a computer which can be compromised and security is increased by a large factor.

[myagui]

The ability to customize each user's mining payout threshold within a range defined by the pool OP.

This could be set for instance, by mining with a password matching the desired threshold value, and possibly only allowing threshold values greater than the default, not smaller ones. Smaller ones are not meaningful, since the default is already as low as it should be, and you're already doing frequent payout intervals.

Advantage for miners: Any users setting a threshold value higher than default, would gain by having a lesser number of TX inputs. While not dust, small payments eventually sum up to make larger transaction sizes by the time one spends those coins, and the time will come when the weight of transactions will correlate directly to transaction fees.

Advantage for pool: With some users setting higher payout thresholds, there are fewer payments to execute, and there's an opportunity to save on transaction fees. Savings might not be immediate as the current fee is fixed, but will certainly be an advantage as soon as fees are established as factor of transaction sizes.

Nice suggestions, but you should read the OP.

1. average hash rate / 24 hours
2. a line with "my" estimated income on the next block
3. a line with "my" unconfirmed income (this was always missing and almost made me not mine monero at the beginning)
4. (this was already mentioned) an option set the withdraw threshold (in some limits) or to not get coins at all
5. a manual withdraw option


I will try to add more ideas inside this post.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6. One thing that drives me off most pools.. the timeouts. You should really try to do better on them.
I am a very small miner and until now only one pool manages to almost completely avoid timeouts. I mean this:

Code:

[2014-09-01 15:53:45] Pool set diff to 6348.01
[2014-09-01 15:53:45] Stratum detected new block
[2014-09-01 15:55:45] Stratum connection timed out
[2014-09-01 15:55:45] Stratum connection interrupted

Later edit: it looks like you guys fixed something there, it is MUCH better! I'd say it's as good as my previous pool.


7. I've seen a great idea on another pool, another coin, quite some months ago: if you came to this pool based on a referral, some 0.5%? 0.05%? of your income goes to the one that gave you the link. Now the more beautiful part: if you didn't come from referral that % goes into a "basket", or if somebody referred more than a max amount, the extra goes into that same "basket". Every week (or month) a drawing is made and one miner (that mined minimum x hours) can win that amount of XMR. I hope I explained it good enough..

Wow I'm blind. I retract my post. Sorry for the bloat (PM me if you wish me to actually delete the original and this post).

[equipoise]

There are some good suggestions till now. Here is another one to consider - option for the user to add additional donation address and donation % - you could add the monero dev donation address or a friend address like this:

Code:

your_miner -o stratum+tcp://eu.monero.rs:4444 -u YourMoneroAddress -p UniquePassword.AdditionalDonationAddress.DonationPercent

[shivamchawla]

Better design
Estimated coins for the block
Estimated coins/day
Mining to pool address instead of wallet
And many other features that mpos provides.

[mmortal03]

• Hash rate chart for entire pool
• Hash rate chart for individual worker pages

[chup]

E-mail notification for worker failure after 5-10 minutes (user selectable?) of worker not submitting shares. It will eliminate need to check from time to time (read: all the time) pool dashboard just to check is everything ok with hashrate and workers. Should give relief to pool's web frontend.

Don't change anything, just give me money
