Excellent, thank you.

Pulled rig off of Zhpool and moved to nonce pool. Hope to see more miners do the same, at least until Zhpool removes the 1024 default vote.

Development update

Heavycoin version v1.2 has been released!  This version contains an important security update, a few minor updates and a checkpoint.

We recommend that everyone upgrades to this version.

Well anyone with BlackCoin in their bags has seen a 4 fold price increase in 3 days. I bought this morning at the then current high and i have made more on that than 24 hours of mining (top 30 @ 1gh hash). Blackcoin is POS and has a very talented dev/market team supported by a strong community. We have a talented but near silent dev and strong community. A multipool requires competent people working the markets, that is to say blackcoin doesn't flood the market with altcoins. They disburse them across all the exchanges (automated where possible). If they devalue the alts then they shoot themselves in the foot.

As for HVC, I have supported it from day 1. HVC is POW and multipool is unlikely beneficial to the coin at this stage. As has been mentioned getting HVC accepted with some more merchants would probably be the single best thing right now. Voting is voting, big miners mine for profit (typically dumping) and low vote goes against their quick profits. Unfortunately they also are the ones with the most credited votes. Campaigning the big dogs to lower their vote isn't likely gonna happen either. HVC is still strong and a great algo. I think people are panicking too soon. The only issue with HVC right now is the sustain phase. We'll just have to see how it pans out i guess.

I totally understand that you are disappointed right now...  but please try to find the patience AT LEAST until the next update...  we already know that the devs are working on an update of the client...  hopefully they had time to work on other things too.

Set it at 1 too and still nothing. I hope somebody forks it and releases a fair coin.

We have set it to 1 for valuation purposes...  I believe you should focus on difficulty in regard to mining.

From a pool's perspective higher block reward means greater fees collected. Not saying that's why they have the vote @ 1024 but seems logical.

I would not call it a scam as everyone know exactly how it works and like the idea.  It's actually working well for them as it keeps BC in demand for buying which is good for that coin.

However if other coins try and follow that philosophy then it will not works as well for all involved as there will to to much dumping of the mined alt coins.

First I'd personally like to thank reorder for changing the default vote used for new setups on hvc.1gh.com to 1.

reoder is also the person who gave us GPU mining on AMD processors! He has been really supportive of our community to say the least and very professional.  He and team also run a first class pool!
Many in the community are very great full for all you have done.

--------------------------------

heavycoinpool.com is dead and has the following posted: "Dear friends, the pool is officially dead. Please cash out by 4/15/2014 and THANK YOU ALL for sticking with us to the end!" This pool had promise but Cryptomind dropped out of site in the forums and IRC and the pool went down hill.

hvc.nonce-pool.com is still alive and kicking but with only about 600MH.  But they are still finding blocks here and there.
--------------------------------
We have also asked ZHPool to make a similar change to voting in their scripts/batch files as 1GH but this hasn't happened (unlike 1GH who was very responsive). Not even a comment from ZHPool. What's more since ZHPool actually has our email address and whatnot it would have been even easier for them to help us get the vote count lower by doing a one time email on our behalf.

I'm throwing this out to the community as a question.  Would any of you be interesting in doing a boycott on ZHPool until such time as they lower the vote count?
hvc.nonce-pool.com from my split testing was previously the best paying of all 4 up to the time they lost hash rate. Fast in the US and a very responsive website for MPOS. They have 1% pool fee but only 0.01 (not 0.1) HVC transfer fee.  If enough people would boycott ZHPool until they make a change we could move some substantial traffic to Nonce which would send a message that they need to listen to the community!

Nonce has 512 as the default vote count but I'm sure if we moved traffic there we could get them to lower the suggest vote value to 1.   At least 512 is better then default of 1024 which is what ZHPool still has set.

I would just suggest switching to 1GH but then we are putting all our hash in one pool which isn't healthy for the network overall.  I hope you understand this reorder! (we all owe you gratitude, but for the sake of the HVC network, need to keep the hash spread around a bit). Although I'd be the first to say reorder has always been very profession and one of the biggest supports of the HVC network.  But from a valuation standpoint it's better to have the hash spread around.

From my previous testing I believe if we could get around 6GH moved there it would be worth it and no one would feel like we took a hit by moving to a low hash network.

So I wanted to throw this idea out to the community to see if there is any interest in fighting back a bit for a lower vote count.  After all, if the community works as a team we have a "bigger voice" that will get heard.   I bet just the "threat" of moving will get them to take action and if not then when they see GH dropping from their pool, they will drop by the forum and figure out why and make the change.

What do you guys think?

We are a group of 10 low to middle level miners (100 to 400 Mh power each) & we have been mining since 17th Mar, with all our rigs having set 128 as the vote since then.
Now starting from last week, we all have set the vote to 1 & luckily for past 3-4 days each of our rigs finds atleast 1 block every 24 hours. I hope other people also read this thread constantly & change their vote to 1 or atleast lower than 512. Since Devs seem busy with something HVC community must take necessary action for wellness of this coin. 

So there is not mulitpool?

Haha Kekkak is gonna show up like "Jesus shit you guys! Everytime I leave you guys start talking crazy shit!"

From what he said so far, it doesn't sound that vulnerable. But he will create a new build soon. See below.
