This is in response to the complaints about the mmcFE based pools we've been using. We are fed up with them too!. Check out the new pools.. they are working perfectly!
What are the new pools using? Looks like mmcFE as well?
Yes I used the front end, But changed the guts. Some of the mysql queries in the old code were ridiculous and probably the source of much trouble.
If you want to see how they work.. try the fastcoin pool for a while. The blocks are quick and you will understand why this system is way better quickly.
No guessing.. you get pretty much what the estimates say. If anything, you get more. Also the system pays out the entire block. In the old code there was no allowance for blocks that could be more than the normal value (transaction fees sometimes added). The old system would fail under certain circumstances. I've run this system under every senario and got it working perfectly for every situation.
I started with this simple system because it is much less likely to error out or make mistakes.
I was just wondering because I started with simplecoin on my pool and I've pratically rewritten the whole thing and yes, the queries were atrocious.
Glad to know that mmcFE is pretty horrible as well because I've spent quite a bit of time cursing myself for not using it in the first place
