Topic: [ANN][TAG] TAGMining.Com is now the official pool of Tagcoin! - page 49. (Read 45656 times)

The 4 round compensation has been paid to those of you who had wallet addresses listed on your accounts.  You should receive a payment to your wallet shortly.  It will be 4 times what you would have made this round, rounded up to the nearest whole number, minus a 0.01TAG transfer fee.  Those of you that had payouts less than 1TAG will be compensated normally when a block is found.

I will be contacting one or two of you to get your wallet address.

*ALSO*

With the difficulty at a nice low number right now, I will be upping the reward for the first block found to 30TAG.  You will be paid the reward when the block is found and confirmed.  The other 9 block rewards will remain the same for the time being, and will be paid in full when the 10th block is confirmed.

Good luck, and thanks for mining with us!

No, thank you.  I just want to make sure I do right by you guys.

Thanks Fuse. 

The pool is back up and operational.  After a conversation with Torzy, I have investigated the stratum issues I thought the pool was having.  After parsing through the log files again, it looks like everything was set up correctly, but we were just that unlucky.  I have made a change to the pool difficulty, and it is now 128.

My original statement of paying past miners still stands.  So if you were mining on the pool, please make sure your wallet address is listed by 4PM PST.  I will be sending payments by 5PM.

Thanks,

Fuse

I apologize for the extended downtime.  After parsing through the logs, it appears that there was an issue with stratum.  I am working at getting it resolved right now.

For the time being, pool mining will be down until further notice.  I could keep it up with long-polling, but I would rather make sure everything is up and running properly.

I know a handful of miners came out and threw some hashing power at the pool.  I want to make sure that I am doing right by them, so if you were mining on the pool, please make sure you update your wallet address on your account.  I will be manually paying out 4 rounds worth of TAG coins by the end of the day today (it is currently 8:24AM PST) for anyone that was mining on the pool.  The payout will be based on what your payout would have been had the pool been operating normally.

I am dedicated to making this pool work.  I know I can't do that without the support of the miners.  I appreciate your time, and I hope that once everything is squared away, you'll come back to mine with me.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,

Fuse

TagMining.Com will be going down for about 20 minutes for maintenance.

I will update this post when it's back up and running.

We're still looking for that first block... point a miner or two at our pool, and try your luck at getting that 20TAG finder's reward.  There's a total of 50TAG up for grabs for the first 10 block finders.

Come mine with us!

THE WEEKLY JACKPOT SYSTEM

Update- Users who chose to be anonymous do not get recorded in the round tables with their user name, and therefore do not get tallied at the end of the week.  If you want to be eligible for the jackpot, your account needs to not be anonymous.


I have decided to discontinue the 5 block and 10 block veterans rewards.  You still have until the end of November to claim them, but starting December 1st, they will no longer be honored.  However, they will be replaced with a site-wide weekly jackpot system.  The first jackpot drawing will be held on December 7th, and will be for the prior week starting December 1st.  Specific jackpot details are outlined below:

A weekly drawing will be had, where 100TAG will be split up and given to three random miners every Saturday.  If the pool runs into issues during the week, either global TAG issues or extended pool downtime, the 100TAG will remain in the pool's jackpot fund to carry over until the next week.  There will be a first, second, and third place prize of 50%, 30%, and 20% of the jackpot total.

To be considered for the jackpot, you have to have submitted shares to at least 75% of the blocks mined that week, from 00:00AM UTC Sunday Morning until 12:00PM Saturday afternoon.  I know that's 12 hours shy of a full week, but I'd rather do this Saturday afternoon, than Sunday morning.  I'm sure you'll understand.  I believe this requirement to be fair.  It benefits any miner that sticks with the pool through the week, from the 20MH/s mining farm to the guy mining on an Nvidia GTX 8800.  In addition, if you win a jackpot one week, you can not win the next week's jackpot.  You can however win the jackpot the following week.

For now the drawings will be done manually by me.  I will go through the round tables and find the miners who have met the above requirement.  The users are then put into a spreadsheet, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners are chosen via a random number function.  When I have the time to sit down and bust out some code, I will make this automated on the site with a running list of who is eligible for that week's drawing.  At least that's how I see it in my head.  If anyone has advanced PHP,SQL and pool backend experience, I might be interested in hiring someone to write the code for this.  Just shoot me a PM.

Any miners caught exploiting the system in any way will have their accounts deleted from the pool, and their outstanding balances on the pool will be taken away.

These rules are subject to change.  What works now might not work a month from now.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know via a thread reply or PM.

Thanks for mining with the pool, and as always... GOOD LUCK, MINERS!
