**TL;DR**. We added significant infrastructure to [Grinmint](http://www.grinmint.com/) and are inviting more hash power; we are committed to provide the most transparent and accurate mining pool; we are raising pool fees to 2% with an additional 0.5% for the Grin Project. > **[Niagara Falls Into Grinmint – BlockCypher Blog](https://blog.blockcypher.com/niagara-falls-into-grinmint-5e4d900c5fb8?gi=9fc2e20b7dc6)** > > TL;DR.

Thank you for the service and also the great write up! It’s extremely interesting to see what happens behind the scenes. Setting up a mining pool doesn’t appear as easy as it’s seems. I also think the pool fee makes sense and the extra fee to the devs is an awesome gesture. Everyone wants the project to succeed. ---

Nope. I left Grinmint. 2.5% is too much nowadays. ---

In the end it comes down to the payouts. If the payouts are bigger than other pools, I will stay. If the payouts are on par with other pools, I will choose the pool which offers more features. And grinmint does not have than many features… ---

please improve the workers details, it looks like you report C31 in increments of 0.28 GPS so it usually displays 0 or 0.28 or 0.56 or 0.84 etc…, i hope you are not rounding down our work. I assume you are keeping track of the real numbers. If my miner is working at 0.3076gps why report 0.28gps ? Or is that all I am credit for? (better reporting will make it easier to spot dead miners, because when i see Zero reported, i wonder if it’s really dead, or did not make the 0.28 threshold) (also use another decimal place or two if you can) also on the wishlist , with every block found, report my share of grin for that block and also perhaps the luck % BTW - thanks for the grincon videos, am enjoying them thoroughly! ---

I’m an [grin-pool.org](http://grin-pool.org) now. But it seems that MWGrinpool will not close and will continue to work. ---

I think the correct way to fix this would be for us to implement vardiff. This is on our roadmap. ---

Hi @babaji it’s because we compute the hashrate with the following formula: `gps=D*N*42/T` where T=600 seconds (10 minutes), D=4 (min difficulty) and N number of shares submitted in these 10 minutes. Which mean each increment is by 0.28 (4\*42/600).
