The success of any coin is availability, We need it on as many exchanges as possible.
Problem is, there isn’t many :o

[/quote]I dont agree actually=)
We need usability of the coin UP, when that happens. Exchanges would want to add it without us pushing it on em.
I have high hopes for coming features. At the pool we will try to expand the gambling part of it.
Also have some ideas regarding accesibilty, but will not say anything about it until i can see the feasibility level of it. -

[/quote]I see :o sort of, I see alot of coins doing well (relatively speaking amongst other alt coins) just because it’s available, Sort of chicken and egg, I see the other side of the story to you, Why am I mining FTC? Because I like the way the script works in relation to BTC and I can see the potential of a good crypto currency down the road, I believe people will use the coin once they know more about it, and generate a shopping community around it.
I guess “There is no knowledge that is not power” so I’m guessing more blogs and write-ups?
I like the gambling idea, I like to have a flutter from time to time.
On a plus, I found my first block for the team! 94082 8)

Well - Looks like 200MH/s is a thing of the past!!!
Thanks to all our miners for trusting us with their hash power, we really are honoured!
In the short time that we have been running, you have helped us become one of the biggest dedicated FTC pools out there!
Now let’s get to chasing down 300MHs!! ;D

Our first batch of games is out!!!
Now available from the pool. Two of the «old» classics has been implemented (head&tails and lucky7), and also a brand new slot machine with jackpot of over [size=14pt][color=red]1000ftc![/color][/size]
All of which has 100% provable fairness!This is just the beginning of a fruitfull partnership between UKMark,Nutnut and svennand
Please, do give us feedback!, both regarding current games, and suggestion for other ones! -
Hey, wheres the slot!? Wanna spend coins! 8)

Off line for a while. Bit of a cockup on the odds calcs (hugely in favour of the player) and found a whee bug too. Mark fixing as we speak… ;D

[size=18pt][color=red][b]UPDATED - US stratum servers are now online.[/b][/color][/size] Please would our esteemed miners on the other side of the pond point their miners to “stratum+tcp://us.nut2pools.com:5565” as the primary pool and “stratum+tcp://uk.nut2pools.com:5565” as a secondary/failover.

The slots are great! I had a few spins, I got a problem with acquiring the address (win7/Firefox) I cant highlight it as it selects the whole section and deselects when page checks for deposit, I had to right click on address and “open in new page” so the address was in the address bar.
Clicking on it does not copy to clipboard, shows a clipboard of the address in the lower left but goes as soon as I move my mouse.
-
Changed to the US pool. Might help with the 200MS+ lag I was having.
I’ve had my equipment over at someone’s house for the past week so I’ve been able to run the whole time. Been great, pretty reliable. Actually getting to experience mining as one should with 24/7 op.

[/quote]When you click the address it’s supposed to open your wallet and paste the address straight in to send box along with a default amount all ready for you to hit send. For some reason though it doesn’t work for some users. :'(
Can you chech that you have the latest client? There we’re apparently 2* 6.4.4 clients. one with support for ftc url and one without. May be worth redownloading/installing.

[/quote]That was the plan. We decided to host in Dallas as that’s fairly central and has good links back to the UK where the core DB server is hosted. Where are you based and whats your ping times?
[color=red]Also, can you all please ensure you have fail-overs setup (to another one of our servers (uk/us/jp) as I’m doing a lot of juggling and tweaking, so i will be restarting various sections of the system. We have multiple everything so as long as you have fail-overs configured, you should have 0 downtime.[/color]
Thanks for mining with us and feel free to spread the word! ;D

[color=purple]***PLEASE READ*** ***PLEASE READ*** ***PLEASE READ*** ***PLEASE READ*** ***PLEASE READ***[/color]
Can anyone that has their miners pointing to ftcpps.nut2pools.com:5565 please redirect them to either…stratum+tcp://uk.nut2pools.com - if you are a UK/EU miner
stratum+tcp://us.nut2pools.com - if you are a US based miner
stratum+tcp://jp.nut2pools.com - if you are a JP or AU miner[b]Don’t forget to configure another server/location as your secondary pool too![/b]
The ftcpps.nut2pools.com stratum server will be shut down soon to facilitate the migration to our new servers, DB clusters and DDoS protection and in a bid to reduce the already [b]EXTREMELY LOW[/b] number of stale shares (I now get 0 stales from the new “uk.nut2pools.com” server!).
Unfortunately CGminer won’t connect to a new ip addresses once it’s started so even if i re-point the DNS - cgminer will still latch on to the old server until it’s restarted. :'(Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience

We now have stratum server on 3 different continents, and a fully resilient system! With PLENTY of room to grow ;D

Hi all!
We have been taking a major kicking this last period. To keep the pool floating we need to
adjust the pool fee from 2% to 3%. We are not happy with this but see it as a last resort.
To give everyone a heads up on this we will wait 24hours before we adjust the fee.If the bad luck continues we will be forced to go prop instead of pps.
-
Suggestion:
Since the original fee for the pps was going to be 5%, it was only in good faith that you guys dropped it to make it less intimidating. Maybe make a recommendation (here, news page on the pool site) to those of us that pull 2MH+ to tack on an additional 2% to match the original projection. And anyone pulling under that to just donate what they can. It’s what I’m doing (well, doing now, now that I realize there’s such a hole you guys are covering).

[/quote]Yes, I agree with this, I pushed my donation up to 2% so you get 5% of my earnings.
However, I think everyone should pay the same, As there are going to be alot more mining smaller hash rate than the sum of the bigger miners, So I don’t think this will solve the problem, I think you should implement the PPLNS alongside PPS for now, There will be a load who prefer this and will take a load off.
I’m having a system problem at the moment so I can only run during the day, So PPS is good for me, As soon as it’s stable with my other hardware, I would be happy to run on PPLNS 24/7.
PS a tip sent to the pool, Keep it going guys. 8)

Thanks guys - really appreciate the support… :)
We seem to of had a bit of luck over the last day so as Svennand would say, we dodged a bullet… For now.
We would REALLY like to stick with PPS as it gives miners a certain amount of assurance in knowing what their income will be. It’s also good for part time miners and that was the aim of the pool… To allow ALL miners whether large or small, full or part time to benefit.
There are tons of PPLNS pools but we wanted to be different. Proportional was an option as part time miners will get their payouts quickly but they are susceptible to pool hoppers. PPS ticks all the boxes and hopefully that was just a slump and things will get better. If however the pool wallets do run dry, we will switch to a proportional pool so that part time miners will still be looked after.
I am planning on resurrecting the pplns pool too for those that would prefer that type of payout system.
Lastly, I’m wanting to start some pools up for other coins (pplns). Any suggestions?
Thanks again for your loyalty guys & gals - may the luck be with us!!! ;)

ftcpps.nut2pools.com stratum is now shutdown permanently.
Make sure you point your miner to one of the UK/EU/JP servers!, and please have failover set to one of the others in case of maintenance etc.Happy Mining! ;D
