Hi guys! Since you can't post in the main forum and some of you have questions in regards to starting on the pool, I am opening this thread to answer questions or help fix problems encountered when using EMC. If you have any questions about DGS or the Cash Out option, please don't hesitate to ask. It can be a little unintuitive at first, but once you get a feel for it, most users love the system.
https://eclipsemc.com is the website address.
This is a zero fee pool and will remain so. We do not charge you any fees for mining with our pool and
we pay out to all 8 decimal places. No more storing sub .02 amounts in your account, we pay you everything you've earned.We are built from the ground up with security in mind and completely original, custom code. All traffic is encrypted (with the exception of block traffic, since it's meaningless in terms of security), database passwords are hashed & salted, worker passwords are divorced from the account passwords, etc...
You are free to sign up with any email address, we don't verify. However, you won't be able to use our password recovery or Email notification features if your email address isn't accurate.
We are a
double geometric scored pool. We use Meni Rosenfeld's scoring algorithm which awards each user fairly based on their contribution to the block. This prevents pool hoppers from taking a substantial portion of your profit. For more information, see this thread:
