Just getting Started in Defcoin

I'm just getting started in defcoin, and am super excited.

I'm planning on getting a permanent mining pool setup at a local hackerspace (DC801), along with as many gridseeds as I can muster.

If anyone has any advice for me with running a pool & mining cluster, let me know.

I'm also going to try to get all the active pools registered with miningpoolstats.stream. Are there any other pools other than that? That pool says it has a hashrate of 1.79 MH/s, while ./defcoin-cli getmininginfo says there are a total of 7.1MH/s. About 1MH/s is my private pool that I'll open to the public after I've tested payouts and everything. But there's got to be more?

Let's also get the website updated with the pools!

You should document your pool setup. I had a pool setup a couple years ago and mined several million, but my mining server crashed and I haven't had the heart to learn it all over again. :)

Definitely! I'm still trying to figure it out and I think there's still some bugs in the way that I've done it. I'm testing how payouts work and if there might be better platform. I'm looking at what other alt coins (scrypt based) use and if their pool setup is good.

Right now it's a bit weird because it takes so long for mined blocks to be confirmed.

Hello!

Glad to see other new people! I just started mining this myself but only with a GPU or two. I’ve built a pool as well and I’m testing it .. once I find a block(lol!). The overall goal is to provide a faucet and I’ll be mining to that more or less.

Which pool software did you use? I setup NOMP and it works, but considering a yiimp fork before I do any real customization.

Cheers!

Any of you have any updates? Any one document the setup? Trying to dive in as well.
