I setup a mining pool for new miners. It's focused on the more casual miners, people with lower hash rates (but others are welcome), simple instructions to be up and mining in minutes. It's built using the open ethereum pool source, and still looks a bit generic as I haven't spent much time to customize it yet.
The pool is setup on a dedicated, hosted server, 1gig network, 8 core super fast system. Payout is set at 0.05 and set to run payouts every 10 minutes.
Just visit noobpool.com to get started.

If you're putting out 100MH/s in a big pool vs guys putting out 100HG/s who do you think will have the best chance to find the block and get the bonus reward? With noobpool.com people with lower hash rates are on a more level playing field. But who cares about a 5 eth reward, that's only like $1500 USD.
Good luck with whatever you decide. I'm going to keep plugging along and my slow speed and hopefully get a few more GPU's setup into my rig this month.

I also need to re-do the whole website part to make it stand out and look less generic, but it's done through api and .hbs files which are a lot different than the html that most of us are used to using. And of course my home computer is windows 10 and there doesn't seem to be any editors for that type of file to make it any easier. So text editing on a remote desktop kinda sucks.
I've also got my PC mining with 1 GPU too, but I take it offline sometimes when I want to play a game.
I notice at noobpool.com it shows an increase in the number of miners, but the pool hashrate doesn't reflect accurately. I wonder why? Maybe it takes time to reflect as it's only been 5 minutes since I got it started. *The pool hashrate is going up now.
*Also, is there a miner that doesn't take out for dev fee? Claymore has a 1% dev fee no matter which pool I'm using.
It will happen, just takes time.
As far as grandfathering a rate for people who join during the 0% fee time, that will be a little more complicated as there is no registration. I guess I can use the wallet address as the user account. Something else to look into when I get back.
Great name by the way
