It was the Bitcointalk forum that inspired us to create Bitcointalksearch.org - Bitcointalk is an excellent site that should be the default page for anybody dealing in cryptocurrency, since it is a virtual gold-mine of data. However, our experience and user feedback led us create our site; Bitcointalk's search is slow, and difficult to get the results you need, because you need to log in first to find anything useful - furthermore, there are rate limiters for their search functionality.
The aim of our project is to create a faster website that yields more results and faster without having to create an account and eliminate the need to log in - your personal data, therefore, will never be in jeopardy since we are not asking for any of your data and you don't need to provide them to use our site with all of its capabilities.
We created this website with the sole purpose of users being able to search quickly and efficiently in the field of cryptocurrency so they will have access to the latest and most accurate information and thereby assisting the crypto-community at large.

#bufferseconds = 50 # Work buffer size in seconds (default: 50). This should generally be no

# DON'T PLAY WITH THESE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING!
#getworkbias = -1 # Bias (in MHashes) that is credited to the work source for every work
# # request (default: -1). This punishes work sources which cancel their
# # work very often, but the default value effectively disables this
# # behavior. This needs to be negative (non-zero) though, in order
# # to ensure that work requests are distributed evenly between work
# # sources during startup.
#longpollkillbias = 0 # Bias (in MHashes) that is credited to the work source for every piece
# # of work that was invalidated by a long poll (default: 0). This is
# # used to compensate for anomalies caused by getworkbias.
#getworkfailbias = -3000 # Bias (in MHashes) that is credited to the work source for every
# # failed work request (default: -3000). This punishes work source
# # downtime in general.
#jobstartbias = 0 # Bias (in MHashes) that is credited to the work source everytime
# # a job of that work source starts being processed on a worker (default: 0).
#jobfinishbias = 0 # Bias (in MHashes) that is credited to the work source everytime
# # a job of that work source ends being processed on a worker (default: 0).
#sharebias = 4000 # Bias (in MHashes) that is multiplied with the difficulty and credited
# # to the work source for each found share (default: 4000). This rewards
# # work sources with high efficiency. Keep it near the default value to
# # ensure that work sources which produce junk work (that never yields
# # shares) can not consume much hashing power.
#uploadfailbias = -100 # Bias (in MHashes) that is and credited to the work source for
# # each share upload retry (default: -100). Because a huge bias
# # doesn't keep a work source from retrying to upload the share,
# # you should keep this relatively low to ensure that the work
# # source will be used again when it pops back to life. Work source
# # downtime should be punished using getjobfailbias instead.
#stalebias = -15000 # Bias (in MHashes) that is multiplied by the difficulty and credited
# # to the work source for each stale share (default: -15000). With the
# # default settings this will half the work source's hashing power at
# # a stale rate of about 2%.
#biasdecay = 0.9995 # Decay factor that is multiplied onto all work sources' bias on every
# # getwork on any work source (default: 0.9995). Helps ensuring that
# # work sources will be favored after they recover from temporary
# # failures until they have caught up with the configured priority.

# MPBM supports multiple blockchains and aggregates long poll responses
# from all pools within a blockchain to further reduce stales.
# Work from all pools within a blockchain is flushed as soon as any of
# the pools responds to a long poll (subsequent long poll responses from
# other pools within the next seconds will be suppressed).
# This means that e.g. P2Pool will need to be put into a separate blockchain
# definition because its long poll responses don't correlate with other pools.
# The available hashing power (from all workers) can be distributed across
# different work sources by adjusting the priority values. MPBM will attempt
# to distribute hash rate proportionally to these priorities, unless a work
# source fails. If that happens, the work source's priority will be reduced
# and slowly be increased again when the work source comes back to life.
# You can see this in action with the P2Pool entry in the default config
# if you don't have a P2Pool instance running on localhost.
# If you want to support further development of MPBM, you can do me a favor by
# leaving the demo pool entries active, and just adding your own one below them.
# If you give your own pool entries a total priority of 1000, you will donate
# 1% (on average) of your total hash rate to the author of this software.
# This won't make a big difference for you, but it does for me.
# Templates for that can be found below the demo pool entries.
