Had a 1 hour downtime today due to pushpool. All is back to normal and a lot of fast blocks to make up for it!
Thanks for the response and the pool references.
Do you know the URLs to these other two pools?

allten,
First welcome to the pool glad you are enjoying it. I wont be changing the name as one day someone called me an Elitist Jerk and it made me laugh so much. It was also shocking.. hehehe
It also fits some of us well. 4 of us are over 100 khash .. with two being 500 khash.. this is what we call Elitist. These two people are not doing it by running a botnet either
.
Many of us are doing this for fun.. the name just makes it funny.. The finger is just the icing on the cake
There is other pools out there. Pool-X is a Pirate theme and OZCO.in is a Kangaroo. Both good pools and not offensive. They might also be a better fit if the name and logo bothers you that much.
Yes I know I sound like a jerk.. but we do this for fun.. there is no money to be made running a pool.. We are Elitist Jerks..

Thanks for creating this pool. It has been nice to put my i7 CPU to work on something.
Have you considered changing the name and logo. My family finds it offensive (as do I) and I have to wait 'till they all go to bed before I log in.
The sentiment behind the logo and name resonates with me a lot, but still offensive.
Please consider.
Thanks.

I sure have to add that i am having fun too at the pool
And last but not least in the irc channel where we can be found at a daily basis
Where some of us seems to allways be present
Do not hesitate to ask for help because if we can we will
But lol we are jerks

Closed up the last of the Block Bonus. We will be doing a new promotion soon enough. Congrats to Wandelaar on the last Block Bonus win!
Due to a time change it seemed a few blocks where not paid out. This has been updated and corrected. All blocks found have been paid out 100% now. We believe in total honesty and why I double checked the entire ledger. No one brought this up to us as an issue but this was us double checking payments. One thing I have learned mining myself. You never mess with someones money.
Thanks again for being part of Elitist Jerks.

3phase.. thanks for giving me some feedback I appreciate it a lot!
I do know about the little flaw in the block bonus.. realized that about 30 mins after i started the first one.. However i felt if someone was going to have that kind of time to watch the pool or even create a script go for it.. I will say this.. the block bonus is not going to be around forever.. in fact we have 250 ltc put towards this. In fact we where going to end it but mhecker through some more in the "kitty" to keep it going since its fun in the irc channel
The stales has me a bit worried and I have been making changes.. plus we did run some performance testing on the server to see how far it could be slammed before we needed to upgrade. I am sure many of your stales came because of it.. 499 ec2 boxes was a bit overkill.
Feedback is how we grow.. and again I appreciate you taking the time to post up!
Besides its mostly me talking to myself it seems

As a fellow elitist jerk, I must note that your incentive is rather flawed. A reasonable jerk (elitist, I might add) would join the pool after 48 blocks have been found and leave just after. Maybe you notice such a thing in your hash rate fluctuation.
A small bonus to the block finder (as pool-x does) or a shared bonus to all pool workers (like ozco does) is much more attractive as in both cases, a medium KHash will certainly get more litecoins per day.
Just a thought, and also I need to mention that I left the pool because my stales percentage was way higher than other pools (1.5% compared to 0.5-0.6%).
That is said with all the respect that goes for the work you have put already into it.
Good luck!

Two more Block Bonus's.. however both rolled back into the kitty.. 
27,480 was found by WKNiGHT and 27,738 was found by trunkboy.. his first and he would also like to roll it back into the pot
This gives more chances for new members to win.. remember you cant win unless you play

Due to cookie issues with elitist.kicks-ass.org i am reverting back to IP address.
Another block right back into the kitty. mhecker found block 27,258.. thanks mhecker for donating it right back to the pool's kitty
Block number 26,976 found by WKNiGHT.. course it goes right back to the kitty
Another Elitist comes and joins the 100+ ranks.. Welcome trunkboy
Thanks. Also to clear things up, trunkboy = sockpuppet = shawnp0wers (on IRC).
Another Elitist comes and joins the 100+ ranks.. Welcome trunkboy
Due to a lot of fun people have had with the Block Bonus it has been decided we will continue to do so for at least another 5 more blocks.
So get your miners going! Join us at Elitist Jerks today!
