How are you going to pay the miners that submitted proportional shares (like me). You can't change the payout method in the middle of the round. I had a positive balance and now it's gone. Please do the right thing and take care of this.

You say "Proportional payout method based on shares submitted per round". Now when I read the website FAQ it says
It is kinda messed up changing payout schemes in the middle of a round, invalidating work people have already put in

"How are payouts calculated? [TOP]
We use the Pay Per Last N Shares method to calculate payouts when a round ends. "
You should not change the payout method behind the back of people, and not during a running round. Also N is not specified!

Web page designed for an iPhone with big buttons and that "look". Native app would have been nice but then it wouldn't work on anything but iOS. The Managed Rig page in the screen shots should work find on webOS.

Curious is your iphone / android dealio an actual app or is it a webpage frontend?
If its an app, have any plan to make a webos app? =)

Before the site gets big (which i hope it does, nice features btw!) - switch to SHA256 or SHA512.
There is no reason for using SHA1 anymore.
A bit more database usage, but it's not even noticeable with 1m users (the difference between sha1 and sha512 is 88 bytes per user, 88 000 000 bytes for 1 million users, thats 83.9 MB difference.)

* Passwords saved with AES256
AES256? Specs on that? So you'll able to decrypt and view users passwords?

Sorry for the confusion, I need to update the page. Passwords are hashed, sha1, then salted.

Obv. pure PPS is ideal for the miner since he risks nothing and gets zero variance day in day out..
But it's not viable for you the operator unless you have massive reserves of BTC in store for a stormy period. Even then you'd need some sort of fee to fence off your risk, deepbit for example has 10% and rfcpool.com has 7%
PPLNS doesn't require any buffer on your part. It also can't be exploited statistically by hopping in after many high percentile rounds to profit from early, valuable shares of likely upcoming short rounds.

The only thing that stands out negatively is prop. payments.
As you might know it's one of the worst models for a 24/7 non-hopping miner, any plans of PPS variant schemes or PPLNS?

Yes, already working on that on the dev servers. I don't want to reinvent the wheel so is PPLNS better/fairer then PPS?

Wow. Finally some unique and useful features in a startup pool. That remote control scheme is definitely a world-first.
