Hi Folks,
Sorry about the intermittent responses, but as zneww says, I've been/am pretty busy these days. But, let me set the record straight on a couple things:
1. No, I'm not secretly stealing any coins via merged mining, or any other fantastical ploy.
2. Yes, I setup ParallaxCoin yesterday, but no, it isn't currently doing merged mining yet.
In fact I added PLX mostly so I could study the requirements for merged mining on our backend and codebase, which appear to be non-trivial. Not that merged mining PLX/EXE would currently amount to a windfall for the pool in itself, but the idea is intriguing, and I will continue to tinker with it to see if its something that can be added. When and if I do add it, I will certainly announce it publicly (from the deck of my yacht, purchased with stolen merge-mined coins, of course).
I also wanted to loop back to another issue brought here recently, specifically the BTC transaction fee bug. This issue has now been fixed, and users should
no longer see transaction fees in their payouts (the pool now correctly covers these)
