Philip,
That's a great idea. We would love to prove that we are legit. Everyone will get their earnings and someone will end up with a 2btc bonus for finding the block.
Everyone can see that we actually keep our promises and recently paid out the 1btc prize in our last contest to daddyfatsax as he confirmed.
So, who's in?
Topic: [1200 TH] PMpool.net. 0% fee PPLNS. 2BTC block finder bonus. - page 4. (Read 15146 times)
Just a quick update:
We now have worker stats/count available on the website for your information.

I am shooting 100th at the ppns pool
some simple math if 20 people shoot 100th at this pool for 4-6 hours
we should hit the block and find out if he is legit
the ppns is worth shooting 100th for the bonus not forever just a lot of us to get over 2 or 3 ph
does not cost much to do 4-6 hours 20 to 30 people 100th each

Who wants to be the next winner?

Still not too late to qualify for our 1btc guaranteed prize for the miner with most shares. 10 days left.
What is stopping you from taking the solo payment and running?
Funny question. What is stopping all other pool operators from taking a block and running?!? We don't want to take anything from miners. We have bitcoins. Even more, we are giving away our own bitcoins as bonuses to miners just to make them mine with us.
A lot of other pools have reputable owners, etc. Just a thought.
I am sure they all started somewhere and built their good reputation in time. We are doing the same thing here by running a stable pool and giving away our own money as additional rewards to stimulate miners to hash with us. Once you see that we are paying out, I am sure you will join too.

At Pool hashrate: 91.09 TH/s it will be tough to find a block or need a lot of luck. Also I wonder how you can justify paying out a prize if a block is found?
The first block is always the hardest. I am sure that as soon as we hit a block other miners will follow and the pool will grow and start cracking blocks at a regular rate.
As for your question about the prize - we will post the TXid of the prize payment here. Of course we will also ask the winner to confirm that by posting here if possible. Hopefully he wouldn't mind...

You could easily be redirecting hashing power on your pool to another site. Why don't you provide a stats page to prove that each users stats are being used on this pool?
I wondered same thing or wondered if it was possible.
Kipper, yes it is possible for a pool to act as a "proxy" to another pool. Of course we are not doing so, because we have solo and pplns accounts at the same time. We cannot redirect solo accounts to another pool and still be able to pay 27btc when someone finds a block. Everyone mining on our pool mines on our pool and is not redirected elsewhere.
How about a wallet address for the mining pool? Both of the other solo pools,-ck and aTg, make that public. At least post that so that whenever a block is found it can be tracked. I have found a block on both solo pools in the forum, so I don't want to be wasting my energy.
Sure, the pool's wallet address was never a secret - 14A1inRWUWDg36TkiyCGhSjxY71aJbTCyU

I am glad to see this, but no offense you can very easily lie about this. I mean there is no list of all workers and all submitted hashes which means you can just make up a winner.
Good point! That's why we are planning to post the winning user here along with hash count and TXid for the bonus reward payment. Of course we will also ask the winner to confirm all of that by posting here. If you can think of a better mechanism, please feel free to share.

What would such a page prove to you? It would just expose usernames and hash rates to the public. I guess you don't want others to know that you own let's say 300th of gear.
