MONERO.RS 100 XMR Giveaway (RE-OPENED)

[MONERO.RS]

Great suggestions, everyone. Keep 'em coming!

SMS (paid?) notification if your worker hasn't submitted a share to the pool in a certain amount of time. The amount of time can be calculated based on performance in the past, for example 4 standard variations longer then the expected time to the next share (I'm assuming the probability of finding a share within x time follows a normal distribution).

Estimated "Weekly Bitcoin Bill Pay \ Save the Rest" feature.

Auto convert my estimated power costs (should be a calculator of $ + Kw/H).  Pool auto cashes out amount of bitcoin I need to pay my electric bill and just keeps the rest in Monero.

Would need input of $ per Kw/H, est watts, and bill due date.  Have to pull current value of bitcoin to calc how much to cash out - maybe slowly auto convert over the month to get within 5% of this by bill due date.

A donation pool towards devs that miners can contribute to and the pool matches.  Display a ticking counter somewhere.  Monero is underfunded ... don't want the goose that lays the golden eggs to die.

Isn't it a gamma distribution?

Affiliate/Referral comission! My how-to mine $currency instructions and tips get thousands of page views a day. I dont want a check from google, i want referral comission!
Implement a new variable in the syntax, eg. -r $refID.

I'd be happy with 1% of the income people i refer to make

Could be, statistics in uni is getting a bit rusty. If I'm not certain I always fall back on the normal distribution because it's applicable more often than not and if it isn't it usually doesn't deviate too far from the truth.

Referrals would assume the pool had some sort of registration, otherwise it's very hard to reliably implement.
I don't think miners are going to bother with "-r $refID".

They will if they are told to. My audience are crypto-beginners. Fresh blood

• Private linux miner with 5-12% boost in performance (AES only CPUs) compared to cpuminer-multi public version

1) Please make a script to install ^this^ on Debian/Ubuntu, like the normal [git clone git://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero && cd bitmonero && make] one.

2) Don't forget DDOS protection!  If your pool is a success, people will try to nuke it from orbit.  KoDDOS.com takes BTC, maybe you can get them to take XMR.

3) A Hall of Fame for block solvers is always nice, as are teams.  If you are very ambitious, a tech support hot line would be helpful.

4) Be sure to pass on some XMR to the dev fund.  You could even make the % user-adjustable.

EDIT ONE: 5) Make it hop-proof with PPLNS or whatever.

EDIT TWO: 6) 2FA for security.

1) user login where the user can deside when the payout happens and other options

2) user and pw are both monero address and payout is split between both adresses

3) top mining addresses on this pool

4) top hashrates on this pool

24h left before we choose the best ideas!

[MalMen]

Total Hashes Submitted and dificulty in Kh, MH, Gh (the nearest one so we dont have large numbers)
option to take claymore fee or the number choosen of fee to the dev (i will gladly give part of my claymore fee to dev team of monero, they deserve it way mor than claymore in my opinion)
Estimate earn by day on front of current hashrate based on last hour hash rate

Edit
On the graph if there are more than 2 workers show the hashrate of each one separated, so we can compare

No-fee mining week for the miner with most blocks found in the previous one. Or most shares submitted. Whichever get's you more miners.

The challenge with most of these sites is :-

Should we create a login so we can remember your address, then we can you your stat's etc..

The solution is quite simple just have box at the top of the screen that allows you to enter your address.  Then store the address in a cookie.
This way you don't have to re-enter your address every do dam time you want to check your stat's
Also you can create quick links to additional functionally as and when it is added.

To extend this model further you could create light-weight settings that stored in the cookies.  You delete your cookies you start again!!

You can then offer full login for those people who their settings stored on the server so they get the same experience on multiple channels.

This framework would allow all the great features to be added appropriately to the different types of logins(lightweight and full).

Thanks for all the input everyone! We will now be picking winners for the giveaway one at a time.

First winner is... 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.

Cheers,
~ Myagui

Congratulations, we have sent you a PM with further instructions on how to claim the 20 XMR.

PM Replied! It's really great to see a pool op that not only cares for innovating, but even goes as far as rewarding the community for contributing in the creative process! Many thanks guys, thumbs up!

Edit: Award Received! Thanks again!
