Hey! Kind've for fun, I've created a new GroestlCoin stratum pool. It is at pool.markasoftware.com:17000 and 17001 (17000 is fixed difficulty, 17001 is vardiff). I created it because I wanted to solo mine, and want to learn more about mining and pools in the process. Additionally suprnova.cc has a big monopoly over GroestlCoin mining currently and this could help decentralize it a bit. Also, I believe this is the only GroestlCoin pool which is independent (not part of some big network like dwarfpool or miningpoolhub). Currently payout is simple proportional to number of shares minus 1% fee, paid out as soon as coinbase transaction is spendable. Example ccminer command to connect:

Code:
ccminer -a groestl -o stratum+tcp://pool.markasoftware.com:17001 -u Ftnhc2hgp890234oeu -p whatever

If not many people use it i may shut it down after a few days, but if it is successful then I will definitely keep it maintained. Thanks!
