NEW 0% FEE FastCoin Mining Pool with DDoS protection: http://fst.pro-tech.bz.itEasy stratum connect:- stratum+tcp://pro-tech.bz.it:3339

DO NOT USE THIS POOL. Out of 3 Users, I had 70% of the hash rate here, I only get paid out 3 FST per 32 FST Block. Either site is broken or pool, even though it is 0% fees is stealing 80% of my supposed rewards.
FASTCOIN DEV, Consider removing this site from this thread.
Thank you Swiftshoot for the update,
Please continue to keep us posted of any other strange behavior that you may notice on any other mining pools. We would like to be able to create a list and qualify some of FastCoin pools out there, and perhaps provide recommendations to the community. To date we have not had a lot of time since the release of FastCoin to verify the integrity of some of these mining pool operations. Please understand that it is very difficult for us to monitor and police the mining pools as they do offer voluntarily service and we do understand that they need to cover some of there operational costs.
Having said that, it is understood that pool operators have the option to exercise basic fees or request donations from its members through a variety of methods. Typically a 1 - 3% Fee is not outrageous and would seem reasonable. But yes if you feel a considerable amount may be siphoning off then that is not an ideal site, and again in fairness to the pool operator it may be that there site is or was "Broken" or not operating properly at the time of your mining experience.
Currently the best thing we can offer you is to check the posted FastCoin mining pool list from here...
http://www.fastcoin.ca/mining-pools.htmlFrom our experience we have found the following three FastCoin Pool sites to be the best in terms of up time and consistency of payouts...
http://fst.ltcoin.nethttp://fst.zabmail.ruhttps://www.miningpool.co/Again you need to check and verify which site works best for you, internet proximity may play a role in choosing the best pool as well. IE if you are in Asia perhaps a pool in that geographical location may suite your purposes better then one found in North America. Again this is not 100% as some sites in Asia have preformed well during North America site outages and vis-versa, you will just have to check and perhaps move from site to site till you find one that works best for you.
We will do our best to continue to check and modify this list should new information becomes available.
Thank you again for your post and your continued interest and support in the FastCoin project.
Sincerely
fast-coin
