You could also proportion it by the amount of time spent actively contributing to the pool. To give the most loyal a little extra, you could also weigh it towards those who have the most hours. This could also discourage people from joining just for the contest and leaving right after.

I came up with this spreadsheet to demonstrate what I mean:

Hopefully that makes some sense to you.

That's a good idea as well. Let me think on it and I'll get started on the next contest shortly.

I just got two credits into my account for 12.43750000 each. Was that a payment mistake or what?

My name is mfngimp

Lol, there was an issue while I was upgrading the FTC pool preparing to launch it. It resulted in one FTC block being paid to the BBQ pool users (twice) because I missed changing one line in the script. I've fixed it already, but since there was enough coins in the BBQ reserve to cover the payouts I just left them in place.

Call it a small bonus !

Hey, I've been mining all day with 1.2 MH/s, and I've only got ~120 BQC.

I'll research that for you when I get into the office.

Now that I've gone through 200,000 shares since stratum was enabled, I've got 620 stales, which represents 0.31%

If you're still over 5% there's gotta be something wrong with your configuration, or maybe even your network connection. How have you done on other pools in the past?

I'm not still over 5%.

And to silverwolf... Still haven't got round to doing that tweaking, grrrrrr, why do I never have any time when I need it! lol...

Any way donation is now set.

How about implimenting an indicator for the donators? As they do with other pools I have seen...

And I had another idea regarding the BBQ's... We need to start up a middle man service ala bitcoin. So that people can spend them, I think it would be a great boost for the coin and make it more profitable to mine. I am looking for people to join up with to start such a service... Would you be interested? Is there anyone that is interested?

Love the pool

Love the contest even more (especially since my computer is about as fast as a Commodore 64...and it takes me a week to get 1 BBQ Coin)

Fingers crossed-hoping I win

This pool is great, Im getting shares faster than any other pool that I have used prior

Hey fella, why not treat yourself to a 7950 or even a 7970? Take your computer to a whole new dimension, and hash some nice coins while you're at it!

Btw if you were part of the competition then you did "win" as the pot was split between us equally regardless of hashing power.

That may well change though, in fact not sure it is even still going...

I have still to set my donation (naughty me!) but I will do that right now while I remember...

Any way glad to have you on board and glad you are enjoying yourself.

Ok, the new server is up and running, earlier than expected too. Hopefully everything will be much smoother than before. Please report any issues you experience using the ticket system ASAP!!!

Thanks Guys !

The pool's reserve balance is currently about 900 coins. Won't be long now till we hit 1000 and the contest pays out.

How about we see what this new server can do ?

Good, I'll throw 1.4MH/s at it.

Excellent ! Let me know if you have any issues.

The share difficulty is VERY low.

It's set that way to accommodate slower miners. If it becomes an issue than I will raise it. At the moment it's a pretty good compromise until I can get vardiff implemented.

Is it an issue for you ?

Yes, I'm getting quite a few stales.

Turn your scan rate down to 5. That's where I run mine and I get less than 1% stales.

Also, stratum is coming next, that will drastically reduce stales as well.

Okay, thanks.

Let me know if changing the scan time helps you out.

Nope, 5% stales.

Wolf, did you ever switch over to stratum ? I think it will reduce your stales quite a bit.

Yes, I did.

You could also proportion it by the amount of time spent actively contributing to the pool. To give the most loyal a little extra, you could also weigh it towards those who have the most hours. This could also discourage people from joining just for the contest and leaving right after.

I came up with this spreadsheet to demonstrate what I mean:

Hopefully that makes some sense to you.

You'd still have a problem with people mining just for the contest, then leaving. You'd probably want to have a constant contest, where those that log the most hours mining get the most bonus, regardless of hashrate. For example, I mine two hours before the contest payout, I get a little bit, but I keep mining, and the next contest payout, I get a lot more.

That's EXACTLY what I was suggesting.

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that we do have stratum support working now. You should consider switching over as it will reduce your stales. Grin

To switch, just change the port from 8342 over to 3333. Everything else stays the same.

I didn't realize this pool was so small lol. Is the competition still open? If so maybe ill point my 850khash rig at it lol. do you guys think this coin has a future or should I just sell the coins I get?

The contest is still running. It is a small pool, but we solve about 140 blocks a day and really what more could you ask for from a pool ?

If you'd like to join us we'd love to have you.
