Instead I'm working on direct payout. This means the pool will pay for a block right after it found him. Thus as a user you don't have to deal with confirmation stuff. We find a block, you get your NMCs! Should be that easy. This however makes some precautions nessesary. As the pool will pay its me...

I've restarted the daemon and my miners. What's going on? The pool has been fantastic so far and I have been happy to pay my 3%... It's because a huge amount of mining power has left the entire namecoin network but difficulty is still high. So blocks are taking a very long time to process. The last...

I've not had one yet.

Though I already assumed that, it is really good to hear that from someone with much more experience

I just added some improvements to the pool: * Stats are now updates every 5 minutes (instead of 15 mins before) * Transaction Fees of solved blocks are now paid out with the 50 NMC to the users. * Instead of 120 confirmations the pool pays the bounty now after only 90 confirmations. This will be low...

This is what I do in my pool as well. You just need to make sure you have enough coins to cover the withdrawals during maturity, or tell the user that funds are low and you're waiting for blocks to mature. Worst case is 120*50 coins - but that's a bit unlikely :) The pool operator will also lose ou...

I had a feature request lately. But as there might be others that have the same request I'd like to post it here. After solving the block you have no possibility to see your "estimated reward". The block needs 120 confirmations but you as user have no possibility to check what is in you pipeline. I ...

Probability doesn't favor us at the moment :( 93,000 shares and counting. I however have some good news as well. Yesterday the pushpoold was on rampage again. But thanks to the monitoring I managed to restart it quickly enough so that the downtime was not too long. Furthermore I tuned the network st...

OMG! Seems as if probability wants to cheat... > 50,000 valid shares and still no block solved. I'll throw all my CPUs in. It would be silly to think we might not succeed

Weeeeeeeee! We just faced a problem where pushpoold sucked up nearly all CPU cycles. Thus I had to restart the daemon. I'll add some specific monitoring for the daemon. I hope this won't happen too often :roll: If this is the case I have to change the balancing in order to move workers to other pool...

This configuration seems quite okay. The pool however didn't receive any shares from you. I'll keep an eye open. Edit BTW: You can verify this easily ATM by having a look at: http://masterpool.eu/statistics . The Pool size is so small that you definitely should show up as "Top Contributor" there aft...
