I agree with juhakall. You should really make it clear to people that this is a proxy pool, and explain what that is, in addition to being a little more transparent as to who you're sending our hashes to.

At the very least, it should be mentioned in the first post(s) that BTC Oxygen is a proxy pool. I didn't know, since it's only mentioned in the second page of this thread. The first posts advertises that "even if a block is later marked as invalid/orphaned your earnings are not affected". That's a bit misleading too, since it gives the impression that you mine your own blocks. I was a bit curious about why there wasn't any kind of block history. Disclosing the pools you use would certainly be helpful in maintaining trust.

I'm interested in seeing how you proceed being the first "honest and open" proxy. If you can do this, It could benefit miners and pools alike. However given the recent history of proxy pools, i think you need to adhere to high standards of transparency before people will take you seriously. You'll need to completely differentiate yourself from previous proxy pools. Here's what I would do in terms of providing accountability to the community (rather than to specific miners):
1. Provide a summary of total shares submitted for a given number of network blocks (1008 blocks would be sufficient for weekly stats);
2. Break down this figure into the number of shares submitted to each pool you use;
3. Provide total earnings from each pool you use.
This data will be sufficient for the community to ensure you aren't pool hopping, that you're only using your miner's hashes to solve blocks and also provide an indicator of how much you are either helping or hindering the stability of the pools you use.
I'm not implying you would be untrustworthy if you don't provide this data, just that it would helpful in allowing you to claim a level of trust that no other proxy pool can.

mtred is pps and requires you to wait 120 confirms. They don't advertise instant payouts though.
Thanks for your feedback.
I have updated the website to reflect that instant payouts will be coming soon. There are a few technicalities that need to be worked on which is why it has taken longer than originally planned.

I would stay clear from this pool. The pool operator is dishonest.
Can you please show me where I have been dishonest and I will clear it up.
His Pool is NOT Pure PPS as you cant withdraw your money at any time. You will need to wait a certain amount of time.
Pure PPS means you get fixed rate for your shares. It is not related to payout timing.
You will need to wait a certain amount of time.
I have been clear on my thread that I do payout every six hours and sometimes I have to manually intervene.

I'm trying this for a little while, pointing 1.6gh your way.
Thanks
On your website you advertise "Instant Payout" which isn't true. I'd take that down, if I were you.
Its marked as disabled on the website.
And I am planning on enabling it this week.

I would stay clear from this pool. The pool operator is dishonest and also spams people on IRC to join his pool. His Pool is NOT Pure PPS as you cant withdraw your money at any time. You will need to wait a certain amount of time.
Be warned about this pool op

keep in mind that this pool does not mine it's own blocks. it's a proxy pool.
You are right abracadabra. There is nothing wrong with being a proxy pool.
There are a number of things that we are doing to see what would work out best to keep the pool going and growing. We are also keen on avoiding bad practices like pool hopping, etc. Our priority is to make sure that our miners get the best experience while shouldering the risks of operating a pure PPS pool.
I have explained more about what we do in this post : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1374350

Got my payout. Is it still on a 6 hour cycle?

Pool website down???
It is working. http://downorisitjustme.com/res.php?url=btcoxygen.com
Perhaps it was something temporary. If you face any issue, please let me know here or on irc channel #BTCOxygen.
Actually no website problems. Only yesterday.
But what about autopayout? Currently I have over 2 BTC pending. Manual payout does not work. The Autopayout threshold is 0.2 BTC. What are the autopayout rules?
Autopayment worked right now. But what are the rules? Once a day? Passing threshold? ...
Sorry everybody. There was a small issue in the payouts.
It has been fixed now.
If anyone face any issues please report it here or in IRC : BTCOxygen
