Finally after the huge amount of new users the pool is again stable and has the low stale ratio you are used to from pre merged mining times. Have a look at the blog post for further details: http://blog.masterpool.eu/2011/10/the-q ... rformance/

Again thank you for your patience while sorting this out!

Some time ago I started a survey asking if MasterPool should change its reward type. Now the survey has been evaluated. Here are the most important points in a nutshell:

MasterPool will be changed into a PPLNS pool within the next weeks. Furthermore I won’t implement a PPS option. The most used ingress server is EU01. Thus if I need to dismantle one mining ingress server due to too low usage it will be US01. However if BTC prices rise again and MasterPool needs further ressources then the next server will be added in Asia right after the US followed by Australia.

Please find all information and the results of the survey on MasterPools blog: http://blog.masterpool.eu/2011/10/maste ... ey-102011/

As already announced we’ll change the reward system from proportional to PPLNS. This will happen on 26. Nov 2011 00:00 UTC. The first block on each blockchain solved after that date will be rewarded as PPLNS block.

If you need some more information on PPLNS please have a look at the blog as I compiled some information there:

If you are still missing some information don’t hesitate to discuss it on the blog, the forum or on jumble.

I am interested in purchasing your pool and keeping it running if you are willing to sell it to me?
