Re: [masterpool.eu] New beta stage NMC Pool

Post by nodemaster »

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 lowered until we reach direct payout after solving a block.

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

This however makes some precautions nessesary. As the pool will pay its members for blocks that are unconfirmed (and thus unpaid) I had to fund the pools wallet. This is already done. But as the pool takes all the risk the other system needs to be rock solid. Thus please bear with me while I get this feature implemented 8-)
This feature is implemented now. You receive your reward as soon as the pool finds a solution. You don't have to wait for confirmations. A block solved by the pool is always regarded as valid.

Re: [masterpool.eu] 0% Fee - A big thank to all beta testers

Post by nodemaster »

I want to thank all beta testers on this pool. For that reason, we introduce a 0% (zero percent) payout fee until the next difficulty change (Have a look at http://dot-bit.org/tools/nextDifficulty.php to see an estimation for the change). Go and grab your namecoins!

Of course "new" beta testers are welcome to benefit from the current payout fee as well :D

Thank you all!

Nodemaster, I'm liking the pool so far, but I'm wondering if you've any plans to expand the stats API to getting stats on our workers directly, say the stuff we've currently got to poll the dashboard for?
