NastyFans: The Bitcoin Enthusiast Fan Club (est. 2012)

[OgNasty]

I guess what is the focus of it though...selling seats or mining on the pool?

The focus would be awareness.  You never know how someone might stumble across NastyFans and become interested in helping the project.  The recent creation of http://nastyfans.uberbills.com is a great example of benefits that 3rd party developers could provide for us.  There are quite a few automated references available below that could be used by developers to display all sorts of statistics or build fun tools.

They still have a limit on people with signatures and the number of posts I think. Not sure how many posts or access level you need to be able to do the larger sigs.

This would be advertising for the pool? or nastyfans seats? or .....

I'm curious about fans opinion on a signature campaign for these forums.  It would advertise everything you see in my signature (minus my public address).  I want to know if that is a good way to spread the word or annoying spam.

I don't consider sig campaigns to be spam, although as a personal opinion I find the ones with huge fonts, bright colors, etc. to be somewhat more annoying and create a more negative impression of the advertiser. Simple informative text about something that might interest me is more likely to be received by me as useful information on which I might act.

I remember back when the forum had a different URL and was clutterfusted with annoying signature images and GIF's. I don't mind the text signature ads today but I did find out about nastyfans through a signature link. I say go for it!

I also found out about Nastyfans through a signature link.

I like the idea so long as nothing about the campaign encourages people to post inane garbage for no reason other than to get their post count up.

I have transferred ~$5,000 worth of NastyFans seats to a separate account and am donating the distributions from those seats to an address that has been setup for NastyPool.  The current plan is to have 50% of the BTC at that address distributed to the weekly NastyPool lottery winner on an ongoing basis as a way to provide greater than 100% mining payouts to our miners.  No word on when the mining lottery will begin, but you can earn tickets now by mining on nastyfans.org:9332 and using your Bitcoin address as your username.

Wow that is huge.
I hope it works and brings more people to the pool.
What made you decide to do this?

I want NastyPool to be the best.  The synergies available with our different services allow us to offer exclusive benefits that can't be matched elsewhere.  I don't mind leading by example on how to unlock those benefits.  The address temporarily being used to gather lottery donations is 1NastyPXmduDcoay5aEZzih7fzqt8UzXRK for anyone interested.

That's very generous of you OgNasty. I think more people should start to mine it. I'm still waiting on my hardware (Black Arrow ) so any year now I might be able to help out..

I like the lottery idea.

FYI, P2Pool found 5 blocks in a 24 hour span and broke 1 PH/s briefly.

[Blazed]

Thinking I should give it a try...are Ant miner S1's good on p2pool?

[punkboy15]

Mine does OK.  I have one running and with the rise in hashing power I am currently getting ~0.003 per block found. So, today I made about 0.015 btc.

S2 and S3 do not work on P2Pool AFAIK.

[PCComf]

My S1s will work on p2pool pretty well. My S2 gets no more than about 700GH/s from the interface and pool-side instead of 998GH/s anywhere else.

That's awesome - thank you.

Just 1 question... If you are going to use 50% of the $5000 USD worth of shares to the lottery winner, why didn't you just transfer ~ $2,500 and do 100% of that to the lottery winner.. Is there a plan for the other 50% or is that just yours?  (Just trying to see if there's anything else up your sleeves! lol)

[ManeBjorn]

Awesome OgNasty.  You are making strides where others do not.  I really like how you keep leading the way.

Distribution 311374 is complete. nastyfans thanks the donators.

It is fun to see minted seat payouts in the distributions now.

50% of the BTC held at that address will be distributed weekly.  This is to cut down on volatility and ensure that even if no block is found by P2Pool, there will still be a lottery distribution.

Right, I understood that much.. I was just wondering about the other 50% that isn't distributed weekly to the lottery winner..

Either way, thanks again! (Now I just need to get some lottery tickets and then win!)

50% of that will be donated to the next week's winner.  The entire BTC amount at the address will get cut in half every week.  I don't think it will result in any sort of funds building up and will only reduce volatility.

I recently received my Nasty Mining silver coin. It is beautiful. Thank you very much.

But I am really at a loss as to what it can do for me. Do I mine to the address of the coin? If so, how do I spend or transfer Bitcoin credited to the coin? Etc.?

I really do not know or understand these things at the moment.

Thanks again.
