Here is the situation at ~200 blocks before Hard Fork (It means in a few hours) :
- One of the three pools still down : mine77.net
- the second pool : [Suspicious link removed] doesn't seems to run the latest iridium core daemon (we have no communication about this)
- the third pool (mine) : ird.uvac.fr is running the latest core version
The incoming hard fork is an upgrade of the iridium blockchain protocol with bug fixes, security improvements and prevention to hacks like "instamining".
When the hard fork comes, people who stay mining on the old blockchain protocol will follow a way while the others will take a new way : the one with the upgraded protocol. Now, with a global network hashrate of ~126 kH/s, ird.uvac.fr is running at 68 kH/s.
So you have 2 choices : stay on the old way and leave the protocol as is with it's non resolved problems, or take the cleaner way.
At this time, the only possibility is to switch your miners to ird.uvac.fr because it's the only one who runs the new core daemon.
For this important moment, I will run the pool from now at 0% fee because my goal is not to soliciting you to join my pool but make the hard forking as smooth as possible.
Just to prevent any issues with just one pool running the new core daemon:
I just set up a pool with the latest iridiumd, ready for the HF in ~150 Blocks.

Pool Fee: Will be 0.5% but just for now also set to 0%
Nice ! Welcome !
After the hard fork, I encourage all pools to set the fee at 1.5%: 1% for the pool, 0,5% for the dev team. So the ird team can be rewarded and propose bounties. I will do this.
