All these new pools popping up it's crazy! Are there any pools not based on uray's source that aren't the official pools? Do you guys think the uray source pools are better?
http://burst.ga is in development of COMPLETELY NEW POOL SOURCE. This means that we will have completely different pool soon, we will have more stats, more features, and different possible options that the other pools do not have. We are focusing on making the pool's stats be the main portion, and fix the bugs in Uray's code. We are also going to change the payout system, to make it more fair for everyone. However, I think I'm going to make the payout system lean towards larger miners, most likely. Then, if it goes like I plan. I plan to open another pool or two.
This will be made into a legit announcement soon, but I just wanted everyone to know my plans for
http://burst.ga and we're going to have the only pool with source that no one else has. I'm VERY excited about this.
The new code is currently in test phase, and there's already a server up and running with the test pool on it.
The next step will be a closed beta, which I will post an announcement for, and allow people to sign up. Once the closed beta has been completed, and everyone is happy with the outcome, I will do an open beta. Then, once the open beta is good, we work out any kinks that are still there, and get all the miners to a place where they're happy, I will shut down Uray's source completely, and move over to the new code permanently.
I believe wholeheartedly that the new source code will provide us with the edge on all other pools. The stats we're planning will attract miners, because the current pools don't have much in the way of stats at all, so we went the opposite way, and did as many stats as possible.
The front end isn't done, so the front end looks kinda silly at the moment, but it will be fixed. We're more worried about the back end of course.
Anyways, I just wanted everyone to know what my plans are with the pool and the future. I will keep everyone updated with the status, and right now, the status is "closed testing phase". No one is currently mining on the test pool, it's taking submissions from the other pool and manipulating them to test payout system, etc.
The closed beta will be started as soon as possible.
BURST to the moon!
Soon we will have special accounts up for donations together with a list where we higtlight community members who donates and contributes to our development by fund or time (we might need one or two persons updating the list once a week or so, without having access to the funds.
