I am working on the issue with the pool.  Our datacenter is having issues at the moment.

Issue is resolved.

Haha, thanks jonnyb!

'y' and 'u' are just too close together

Hey Adaryian... might want to fix your signature... clicking on it goes to ecurrencu.io... not going to get much action on your pool from your sig

Minimum difficulty was re-adjusted down to 16, so that smaller miners could join in if they wish.  We definitely need more miners and some strong power house miners to start bringing us in to be a viable mining pool!

We really need more hashrate to make this pool successful.  What can we do as a pool outside of the awesome perks of mining with our pool to get us up to at least 5TH/s within the next 24 hours and keep that number growing?

Free registration, let's get mining and give away some major BTC!!!

www.eCurrency.io

We're gaining new registrations everyday! Still looking for more hashing power and more people who would like to enter into an incentive based pool with a nice bonus per block 2.5BTC randomly chosen.  Along with that we will be giving away mining hardware as well, and even gift cards, etc..

Awesome, glad to have you with us! Make sure to spread the information and put the info in your signature so that we can gain some traction.

MAD I am in,

GREAT idea there!

Let's get these numbers up!

Hello everyone,

We are steadily growing as a pool which is great news.  We do need more people and more hashing power however.  If you'd like to join us, please do!

There are no size requirements in terms of hashing power.  We need to grow in terms of a user base and in our hashing power.   We want to find a block so that we can start giving these prizes out!

So, if you're unhappy with your pool or want to spread your hashing rate out to other pools and also have the potential for some serious incentives; this is the pool to go to!

Give us a try, put some of your hashing power or all of it to us and you'll be happy with the outcome once we start finding blocks!

http://www.eCurrency.io/

We come up with a survey to try and poll anyone who reads this to see what we can do to make eCurrency successful and what your thoughts are on what we should do with the giveaway promotions we'll be running when we start finding blocks.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/RMGWFRB

Hope to see you all around on eCurrency.io and in our chat! We'd love to hit a block here soon, so that we can give away 2.5BTC and start doing some promotional giveaways in addition to that!  Remember, everyone who mines with us still gets their PPLNS after the jackpot, so even if you're a 'big fish' and could mine over 2.5BTC if you win, you'll receive the 2.5BTC + your PPLNS.  (That goes for everyone though)

We need more hashing power!  Join us and get in on the Jackpot and other prizes!

We're over 3TH/s now.  Keep that power coming, would love to see us hit a block soon!

Does anyone have any questions or comments?  I'd really like to see this grow at least a few TH/s a day, actively.  Once we start finding blocks, you'll see that the rewards and incentives are well worth moving over to eCurrency to mine.  You're only taking a small fraction cut from your regular mining to always have the chance to win the jackpot per block on top of that doing prizes and giving away mining gear or gift cards, or what have you...

This has so much great potential for miners in a whole to start building their farms up with the chance to win 2.5BTC PER BLOCK!

Let's get some hashing power in here and start sending out the jackpot and other prizes!!!

Okay, so I wanted to display some quick math based on TODAY's difficulty and for the next ~1,625 blocks from this post.

If we have 10 TH/s we're looking at approximately 93.14 days to find a block on average.  10 TH/s isn't a lot to find a block in 3 months, so let's get to 10 TH/s!

30 TH/s is 31 days.
60 TH/s is is 15.5 days.
120 TH/s is 7.76 days.
250 TH/s is 3.73 days.
500 TH/s is 1.86 days.
1 PH/s is 0.93 days.
1.5 PH/s is 0.62 days.
3 PH/s is 0.31 days.
5 PH/s is 0.19 days.
10 PH/s is 0.09 days.

Let's start achieving some of these milestones and start giving these block rewards out to the winners and have prize money to buy stuff to give away!  You'll always keep ~90% of your regular payout anyways.. What's 10% when you have the chance to win not only 2.5 BTC but on top of that your 90% regular PPLNS payout and still have the chance to be entered into ADDITIONAL drawings for other prizes.. IN ADDITION to all of this!

Or you can go mine at a regular pool, get your known rate that is decreasing daily and not even have a chance to possibly ROI on your equipment, because you won't take a 10% cut of your regular amount to win big.

I'd like to see the day where I'm having to do 3 to 5 drawings a day giving out 10 BTC or $6k USD a day JUST for mining with us! How cool would that be?!  Let's start a new way of mining where a little risk is taken, but the potential for such a great reward is there and the more people and/or more hashing power we have the higher the chance there is to find these blocks to LET US do this.

No other pool has so many incentives they offer for such a small (in the grand scheme of it all) percentage risk for such a great percentage gamble on your end, because there is absolutely house advantage!!!!!  Now that I think of it, is it really even gambling?  You know you'll win... You'll never lose.

I really hope to see you join, give us a chance.  Keep mining with us.  We're tiny right now, don't give up hope and quit after 24 hours.  The more proof we have that we have active miners, the more interest that will build and the more people who will join and it's a snowball effect.

Let's build something together and make it successful.  Let's start making mining more that just mining!

2.5 BTC random drawing PER BLOCK we find!  Join a unique pool!

Join eCurrency Bitcoin Mining! We have plenty of space and plenty of incentive to mine with us, come give us a chance!!!

Who else wants to join in with us and have the chance to win ~$1,486 (2.5BTC)?! All you have to do is mine to get a chance to win!  Why wouldn't you want to try it?!

http://www.eCurrency.io/

Already approaching 1 TH/s! Keep it coming, let's get some more power and find a block!

Everyone can.  That was the old spreadsheet.  I'm updating it right now.. /calmdown

300Ghs to join? What? You said that everyone can join.

A screenshot with the winners and the list I'd imagine would suffice.  Also, a public list of winners is located here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1brBkWpiwkP1kzxtpqwJovylw5j7KcTrkp5gdUDoGgm4  (Need to add that to original post, too.)

How we can verify that you choose the right person to win? Nothing suspicious?

Hope to see some TH/s join in here soon!

Getting a chance to get a 2.5 BTC payout with a near 90% of what you're normally making anyhow.. Those are some good odds to win some good money!  Even if you win the 2.5 BTC you'll still get paid your PPLNS worth of mining on top of that too!

Thanks.  Again, I'd like to state that 1gh/s and 100th/s has equal chances of winning.  I will be taking the activity of the past 24 hours very seriously and using Random.org to plug in all the active miners will insure that it is as fair as humanly possible.

Hope to see some of you around!

In which case I wish you luck. Once upon a time there was a collegial spirit amongst miners and pool ops, but I cannot say the same about those who control most of the hashrate today.

It is only dependent on ACTIVE miners and the statistics that show the past 24 hour details.

And I know the followup question is, why not have multiple accounts and increase your chance.. *sigh*, I suppose you could, there's nothing preventing that from happening, other than me cross referencing IP's to username's and such.. but that's just hurtful to the idea and concept.

I ask that everyone has one user account and put their workers in that one account unless there is a legitimate reason to not have one account.  That being said, I hope people play fair.. This is not stacked for the house to win, this is for you and your peers you're mining with and I would hope you could show your fellow miners the same respect that you'd like to see for yourself.

To answer your question though, as long as you're actively mining and finding shares within the past 24 hours of finding a block you are therefor entered into the 'Jackpot" drawing.


Any.  Though, the minimum difficulty is 32, so you have to be active and finding shares to be able to participate.  If I find that there are a bunch 300MH/s joining and are getting 1 share a day, the difficulty will increase because we want as much hashing power as we can to try to get at least 1 block per day which is more than 1 PH/s ideally.  So the more you put towards the pool the better chances of winning the jackpot more often there is.

I'll update the OP to explain the remainder 88% distribution as well, I forgot to post that in there.

What's the minimum "winning" hash that could possibly join?

Is it hashrate or number of connections that determine your chance at winning? Or number of workers? Or number of users?

As long as you're mining actively, you have as fair of a chance as 10 TH/s.  The point is, the faster we find blocks the better odds there are for everyone to hit the jackpot!

Thats a nice idea, but will it be possible to win even if you dont have 1ghs? Or you need few ths to parctipicate in the jackpot?

Hello everyone!

eCurrency.io is proud to announce the launch of our official incentivized mining pool! That's right, when a block is found 10% goes to a lucky random winner!  As long as you have been mining in the past 24 hours of WHEN the block has been discovered and you are ACTIVELY mining, regardless of hashrate, you are officially in the list to win 2.5~ BTC!!  

That's right, 2.5 BTC so long as you remain an active miner and it's found within the last 24 hours of you being active you have a chance to win!

===

How to begin?

|| Getting Started ||

You must register on our pool, http://www.eCurrency.io/

After you have registered and verified your email address with our system.  You are on to logging into your account and setting up your workers and pointing your miners to the pool to start mining!

You can visit our "Help -> Getting Started" section for information on how to join the pool, or below is the information as well:

Hostname: stratum.ecurrency.io
Port: 3333
Username: Username.Worker
Password: x     (typically)

==

You will notice that there is a 12% pool fee.  Quick explanation so that this is in plainview.

10% goes to that lucky winner per block find.  We'll be inputting the users to Random.org and letting them pick the winner.  No winner can win back-to-back, but to keep it fair they will still be placed in following drawing.  If they happened to be chose again, the runner up will be the winner.  

1% goes to pool prizes, which, once we get enough saved up we will be taking that % to give away prizes, TBD by community.  Could be miners, gift cards, BTC donation, whatever!

1% goes to pool maintenance and upkeep.  That means it's going to pay for the server, server upgrades and a very small percent will actually touch my own pocket.. (Enough to by me enough smokes to keep me happy running this thing!)

Remaining 88% goes to the pool in a fair PPLNS payout.

==

Any questions/comments please leave below there is also a live chat within the dashboard for everyone to communicate. I'll do my best to answer them in chat or below!  Hope to see you in there!
