Topic: [ANN][TAG] TAGMining.Com is now the official pool of Tagcoin! - page 47. (Read 45656 times)

Finally!  Well done AFKMPEG.  

BTW Fuse.  It appears the block stats graph hasn't updated since block 6817.

LOL... best comment ever.  You sir, win the internet lol.

I'm tired and have to get up for work early in the morning... so here goes....

Reward for this round is now 35TAG to the block finder who saves us from this rut.

I noticed the invalid shares were unusually high for this round after implementing vardiff, so I extended the retarget time and things are looking much better now.

So someone please find a block for us!  I'll make this one good.  Find the block this round(pool block #90), and I'll send you 25TAG.  I'm calling this the round hero reward.  I might push this in the future as well if there is decent feedback.

VARDIFF implemented!

After 24Kilo's message yesterday, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on VARDIFF.  Luckily there wasn't a lot of downtime.  Miners probably didn't even notice.  If you're a smaller miner, and you're still getting a difficulty of 128, please restart your miner.  Hopefully this helps some of the smaller miners on the pool earn a little extra coin.

If anyone notices any issues with the change, please let me know ASAP.

I'm looking at some of the updates to MPOS as well, and will probably be implementing some site changes in the next couple weeks.  Being that this will be a front-end change, there shouldn't be an interruption in mining, but I'll post when I will be doing the changes anyway to make sure nobody panics.

24Kilo, I'm sorry you didn't have better luck with some of the early block rewards, or even mining on the pool in general.  These are the things I need to hear from miners so I can find out what's wrong and what needs to be fixed.  I know the pool is a little tough on the smaller miners with being a non-vardiff pplns pool.  I've looked at the vardiff stratum code numerous times, and it's just a bear I'm not ready to tackle.  I will look at it again and see what I can do... but inevitably, if I do decide to pull the trigger on it, it will mean some serious downtime for the pool.

All that being said, I've told miners before that they need to do what is right for them.  I'm not pissed you left, but rather that I didn't do enough to keep you around.  But at the end of the day, you need to do what you feel is your best choice.  I'm just sorry that it wasn't Tagmining .  As a show of no hard feelings, and a thanks for your time with the pool, I've sent you 25TAG.  You're always welcome back anytime, and I hope that if I can make it more profitable for the smaller miners, you'll take another look at the pool.

Thanks for being here while you were here, mate.

-Fuse

Edit- 24Kilo... don't take the 25TAG as a buy back offer, but rather a thanks, mate.  Like I said... do what's right for you.  If I can get vardiff implemented, it should help the smaller miners.  Until then, don't feel like you have to stay with the pool just because I sent you the Tag.  I just want to make sure at the end of the day, I'm doing what I can do to make things right by the miners.

Just a small miner who mined on this pool for days... I was there from about block 5 or 6 for this pool and mined till around block 70 or so... never found a block and will not get anything for my support when the pool often only had a hash of 1100k/hs... endured all the long rounds... I stopped mining this pool a few days ago when I realised that I could make twice the TAG by joining a much bigger PPS TAG pool... glad to see your pool is up to nearly 10M/hs... may come back... but have no chance of finding blocks now.

Edit - The pool admin, ny2cafuse, just sent me 25 TAG from what I can tell. I did not mean to whinge in my post, just was stating how hard being a small miner can be at times. I do not deserve 25TAG, but will accept the gift and will be returning to TAGMining pool within hours. Thanks!!!

Also, I've been thinking about the 10 block finder's reward of 0% fees for life.  At the current difficulty, this is easily achievable by most of the miners currently mining on the pool.  I think that when the pool resets to the 1% pool fee on December 1st, I will discontinue this reward.  I will reconsider this if there is an angry mob with pitchforks at my door tomorrow.  However, I seriously doubt there will be.

Sooo.... you have from now until December 1st to achieve this goal and earn the permanent 0% fees.

Lots of good stuff in this one:

Grats to Chopper on finding his 5th block on the pool... 25TAG incoming.
Grats to Johndec for finding his 10th block on the pool... 0% fees for life.

As far as the 75th block being found... well I found it.  Carrying on with the tradition of paying the next block finder if I found the block, the next block finder was... me again?!?  So to make things interesting, I've decided to carry over the 25TAG reward to the 100th block.  The person who finds the 100th block will receive 50TAG!  To be fair to Tgenix, who would have been next in line for the reward had it carried over again, I'm sending him 10TAG for the hell of it.

Thanks to all the miners, and good luck mining!

-Fuse

74 found.  25 TAG to the next block finder.  Get on boys and girls!  Why get a couple of TAGs elsewhere when you can get 25 here.   

Friendly reminder that in 10 blocks, someone's going to get a 25TAG reward... just saying

-Fuse

Grats to Tenice for being the first miner on the pool to find 20 blocks.  By completing this task, Tenice has earned a 150TAG finder's reward.

Payment has been sent.

-Fuse

Grats to Tenice for claiming the 25TAG reward for finding the pool's 50th block.  Payment sent.

I have decided to reward every 25th block with 25TAG.  The next reward will be for the miner who finds the 75th block.  Good luck miners!

-Fuse

We're only 1000 shares into the round to find the 50th block.  Just a reminder - whoever finds the 50th block gets 25TAG.

Good luck miners!

-Fuse

I'm getting excited about getting close to our 50th block, so I've decided to add another block finder's reward.  The miner who finds the pool's 50th block will be rewarded with 25TAG!

Good luck miners!

-Fuse

Grats to Tenice for being the first miner to claim the pool's 10 block veteran finder's reward.  By finding his 10th block on the pool, Tenice has earned 0% fees for life.

Who's going to be next?  Good luck miners!

-Fuse

Uptime statistics are now live on the pool.  The two monitored stats are the website uptime and stratum uptime. The uptime stats can be found under the statistics menu at the top of the page.

I am working on getting donation/veteran status display worked out.  I will update this post when it is complete.  Of course, you should see it live on the website as well.

-Fuse

Grats to Tenice for becoming the pool's next miner to earn the 25TAG veteran's reward.  Payment was just sent.

Looks like there's a race to the 20 block reward with Vesperwillow pulling out ahead of the pack.  Vesperwillow's next block will earn him the second veteran's reward of 0% fees for life.  Good luck, mate!

-Fuse

Just wanted to let you guys know before you thought something was wrong... I just checked the logs and this is just a really long, unlucky round. No need to panic.

Thanks,

Fuse

I would just like to thank those of you who are donating a percentage of your earnings to the pool.

I would like to let you know my intentions for these donated funds.  I am thinking that these funds will be used in the near future to start a weekly or bi-weekly pool jackpot.  I haven't figured out the entry rules or anything yet, but I figured this would be a nice bonus to those that mine there.  This would also give the smaller miners the chance for a decent payout every now and then.

I am open to any feedback you guys have with this idea.  Like I said in the OP, I'm open to all community suggestions.  I would like this pool to be a product of the people who mine there.

Thanks,

Fuse

*Edit- Congrats to Vesperwillow for claiming the next veteran's reward of 25TAG.  Payment was made this morning.

Transaction fee changed from 0.1TAG to 0.01TAG.

Also, I have decided to get crazy and up the one-time 20 block finder's fee to 150TAG.
