alright, everyone! Now I have another announcement, on more of a 'personal' note...
-[POOL: http://burst.ga ANNOUNCEMENT]-Hello again! I have another announcement for everyone! Also, I'm looking for a little bit of help from the community, if possible! please read below...
The pool is going to be changing to a completely new code that NO OTHER POOL HAS! This means, that I will be doing a bunch of testing, then closed and open betas, as to not release a beta on the world without first doing serious testing. This means, too, that I'm going to need some help!
Here's the setup... currently we have a test pool running (
http://burstpool.shmtech.biz:8124/) the new pool code. it's currently setup to use the same wallet as burst.ga does, but it will NOT, I repeat, NOT find a block right now. It's SOLELY for testing. So, what I need from the current miners on burst.ga who are capable, is for some people to dual mine, run two miners on the same drives, and run one on the test pool. I am doing this on 2 of my rigs that have the extra CPU power in order to accomplish this.
What will happen, is that the new pool will take submissions, but will never find a block, this is testing only, to see how the pool reacts to miners. you will also be able to see the beginning of the stats, and a functional, but not very pretty, stats page, and front-end. This will all be re-designed once the back end is all good and everything is working as it should.
Also, the people who help me with this, along with a couple others who have already requested it through a PM, will be my closed beta testers for the pool when it goes to closed beta. If you are interested in assisting me with this testing, please do so, all you have to do, is run two copies of the miner you're currently running on my pool, and run a second one pointing to the test pool at
http://burstpool.shmtech.biz:8124/http://burstpool.shmtech.biz:8124/ is also the stats page, the pool automatically knows if you're a miner or a browser, and goes to whichever page accordingly.
Thank you to catbref, my wonderful lead developer, for putting this project together in an amazingly fast amount of time, and always being there for the development work I need. Thank you again brother!
Please PM me if you would like to be a closed beta tester, but don't have the CPU power to dual mine on the test pool right now. Thanks!
Your assistance in this essential testing is much appreciated, and will help us to launch the first pool that's non-dev, non-uray code, meaning this will give miners yet another choice, and add decentralization to the network, we will have more stats, more options, more settings, and better payout system than the other pools, and I can't wait until it's live. So thanks again to the wonderful community here, and please PM me if you're interested in any of this.
Much appreciated BURST community, I love you all!
