Some stats, there were 14 miners that mined only a single block over the past 24hours, of which 12 had a hash rate of around 16.6GH (estimated). That's just for reference on how far we are from the luck given our current hash rate of around 0.5GH. Of course we can mine a block even with the current hash rate, but the odds are very slim. So don't beat yourself operator, we just really need to grow the pool, that's all. :)

Don't, it's variance and we all know it's part of the game. Let's focus on growing the pool, getting more people in here and being supportive, the block will come!

I was speaking to a random miner on reddit and dropped a suggestion to join this pool. Quoting his response below:


Definitely interested. Main concern would be around trust, affirming PPLNS is observed- I mean, block hits are unlikely but I'd like to be absolutely certain at any given time that the unlikely event hasn't occurred. Is there some incorruptible means for me to verify that the pool definitely hasn't hit won a block?

Can you help me out in answering? To be honest, I became curious as well how we could verify you, although I generally think of you as being genuinely honest.

Alright, anyway, thanks for yet again a very honest explanation. I can imagine the pressure you felt trying to sort things out coming from sw development background myself. Keeping fingers crossed that it will be smoother from here on-wards and good luck with that "noob-mining" tool. :)

Is there a way to protect a pool from DDos?

I have an issue as well. Wallet 0xfF684104992bd26B6326bcA4620D733526c0Ddb1

We have not found a block yet as far as the data on the site goes. The rest I leave up to the pool operator to answer.
