Topic: [ANN][TAG] TAGMining.Com is now the official pool of Tagcoin! - page 33. (Read 45656 times)

After deliberations with the council, I have opened the registrations back up.  I will be working on the invitation system this week between Xmas parties.  If the pool's hashrate gets too big for the my comfort, I'll close registrations again, and we will go on a invite only system.

Good news is that the pool can handle 350MH+, so woot to us!

If Viperbass doesn't already have an account on tagmining, we should invite him.

If we know that multiplier is fairly accurate, it wouldn't take much php (or whatever code MPOS uses) to spit out an approximate network hash rate on the dashboard.

Got a random suggestion.  When looking at pool stats it only shows the top 15 hashers (plus me if I'm not in the top 15).  I believe that is the MPOS default but can be changed either by the pool op or a tab on the page.  On the odd occasions when anonymous from China doesn't find a block it would be nice to see how active the miner that did find the block actually is.  Not a biggie I know but sometimes it's nice to see what the little guy was hashing to jag a block.

According to a post by Dabs in the ANN thread if you multiply the diff by 17895 it should give a good approximation of the global hashrate.  As I type the diff is 54.46 which gives a global hashrate of 974MH/s.  Tagmining.com is running at 208MH/s so roughly 21%.

Dabs, give me a day or two to sort some things out and I'll shoot you an invite.

Can someone calculate the global rate right now... what is the cutoff we should be at?

Dang, I was just about to sign up. (I don't have any miners yet, just my CPU.)

Registrations for Tagmining.com have been closed.  It will remain closed until there is a better spread of hashrate in the Tagcoin network.  I will also be increasing the pool's fees to 2% to encourage miners to spread the hashrate around.

Do not take this as me telling people to leave, but please be smart with keeping the network healthy.

Welcome aboard Frank!  Enjoy your stay with us

Johndec - I can't put that on the site lol.  I can do the fully clothed pinup style of WW2 though.  Keep it classy lol.

24Kil0 - Good idea on the Library of Congress.  Let me know what you find.

Nice pool.  Moved my rigs over.  Hope to participate in this week's drawing

Also, thank you for not implementing a mobile front end of the site.  All the mobile front ends I've seen are cumbersome and lack the data I like to see when I'm checking up on the health of my miners.

Haha.

Safe for work:


NSFW:

Google - "pinup jackhammer" - found some potentials... must the logo be safe for work?

So... What would be perfect would be:

1. A Rosie the riveter that looks like Betty Grable carrying a pickaxe whilst...
2. Marching alongside her sisters towards the glorious battle to save the motherland whilst..
3. Also holding Campbells soup cans.

All in landscape format with a tastefully designed Tagmining.com logo.  No problemo.  Swing by and pick it up Tuesday.  

I love WWII pin-up art... let me see if I can contribute anything.

Fuse... I remember seeing a WWII era poster with a lady using a jackhammer or similar in my travels over the years... will go back through the archives... check the Library of Congress.

Logo/Favicon design contest

I would like to have a logo and favicon design contest for the pool.  I've been thinking about doing a t-shirt or sticker or whatnot, as well as sprucing up the pool and the OP of this thread.  So here's some info:

I'd like a logo that would site in the OP of this thread and the news page on the pool.  That way when visitors come to this thread or the pool, that's the first thing they see.  It should be somewhere in the 500 - 700 pixel wide range.  I'd prefer the height to follow a 16:9 ratio, so an example size would be 600x337px.  The design has to be original to mining pools in general(not the crossed pickaxe and shovel logos), but does not need to be original artwork.  It can be a photoshopped mashup as long as it is aesthetically appealing and original to the mining community.  As far as style of the design, here's some things I like design wise:

• WW2 Pinup girl art - I searched for an classic style pinup girl with a pickaxe and miners helmet, but had no luck.  It has to be the classic color and design of WW2 era pinups.
• WW2 / cold war propaganda posters - mainly the Soviet industrialists style
• Modern branding art - integrating the pool name into a shape or design

The favicon is the standard favicon size.  I'd like it to relate to the logo if possible.  You don't have to design both, but combined designs win extra points with me.

I have yet to decide on a reward, but I'm thinking 20-30TAG and a t-shirt or sticker if I decide to make them, plus credit on the pool and in the OP of this thread for bragging rights.

Anyone is welcome to participate in the contest, even if you are not a miner on the pool or a member of the TAG community.  This would be a good way to earn a little TAG if you're just getting started.

Ready, set, go!

Ok... rule has been added to the jackpot info post on page 1.

I'm going to double post right now... so be warned.

Yeah, I'm OK with it as well. 

Thanks! Yeah that sounds fair to me. Spread the TAG around to dedicated miners 

The coin behind it, or the jackpot system?

The coin comes from fees and donations.  The system is outlined in the second post of this thread.  But the TLDR version is if you submitted shares to at least 75% of all the rounds between midnight Sunday morning (00:00 UTC) and 12 noon Saturday afternoon (12:00 UTC), you're eligible for the jackpot.  The eligible miners are put into a spreadsheet and a random number function is called to select 3 miners, one after the other to find the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners.  I might do a quarterly jackpot as well... but that's just a thought on a piece of scrap paper right now.  Like take all the miners that were eligible for the weekly jackpot, and if you were on the list at least 75% of the time for the quarter, you're eligible for the quarterly draw.  IDK though... just a thought.

Seems fair to me, keeps things spread.

btw totally forgot, what's the jackpot based on?
