New and improved:

- No fee Groestlcoin.biz and X11 multipool:
1. In order to secure the network hashrate we have to decided to reduce the Grs pool fee from 2% to 0%
2. We are happy to announce that we will have a x11 multipool running on groestlcoin.biz also. In fact, for the brave, it is available for testing now: stratum+tcp://groestlcoin.biz:5555 While on beta no exchange fee's applies. When the multipool proves stable and payouts are profitable we will go out of beta.

We mine the most profitable X11base coin and pay out in Groestlcoin.
Groestlcoin.biz is the second multipool that pays out in Groestlcoin. We select the most profitable x11 altcoin and mine it, converting the earnings to GRS before sending them to your wallet. If you dont want to use boost sgminer this could be a better option. Hopefully, this will support Groestlcoin by creating much needed volume on crypto exchanges. All you have to do is point your miner to the pool and we take care of the hard work!

Important Points
•No registration required, all you have to do is use your Groestlcoin address as your username, just like P2Pool
•Stratum + Vardiff
•Thread-concurrency and lookup-gap parameters are not used anymore
•Daily manual payouts
•High performance Node.js backend
•EU based
•DDOS protected

How To Mine
•For x11 download the modified sgminer: https://www.dropbox.com/s/59lvecndm866bzz/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2.zip
•For GRS use the standard sgminer and use it with driver 14.6 with this kernel: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=779598.0 (Thanks to Pallas)
•Simply point your miner to stratum+tcp://groestlcoin.biz:5555 with your GRS payout address as your username and any password.

Code: [Select]
sgminer -k x11mod -o stratum+tcp://groestlcoin.biz:5555 -u YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS -p YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS -I 20 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 100

Current Coins
•Darkcoin (DRK)
•Urocoin (URO)

Why choose a NOMP pool?
•It's safer than a normal Pool. Cause you do not need to give any personal info such email or passwords.
•It's faster: point your miners, set your address in your miner config and get profit.
•It's lighter for your internet connection than normal MPOS pool.

- World premiere: Groestl base multipool and boost-sgminer:
Our Groestl base multipool goes out of beta today.
We mine the most profitable Groestl/myriad-groestl base coin and pay out in Groestlcoin/Bitcoin.
Boostpool is the first multipool that pays out in Groestlcoin. The multipool is only for AMD GPU's. We select the most profitable groestl/myriad-groestl altcoin and mine it, converting the earnings to GRS before sending them to your wallet. If you pay a lot for electricity this could be a better option. Hopefully, this will support Groestlcoin by creating much needed volume on crypto exchanges. All you have to do is point your miner to the pool and we take care of the hard work!

Important Points
•No registration required, all you have to do is use your Groestlcoin/Bitcoin address as your username, just like P2Pool

•Simply point your miner to stratum+tcp://boostpool.com:3333 with your GRS/BTC payout address as your username and any password. Remember this pool mines groestl/myriad-groestl and will show the hashrate scaled in scrypt to compare profitablity!

& last but certainly not least:

- Groestlcoin Facebook tipbot live now:
The Facebook tipbot is an experimental platform you can use to tip with Groestlcoin to almost anyone on Facebook. Ride the tipping wave and have everyone on Facebook know you're a generous Groestlcoin user! This works by reading a command over the posts and comments submitted in supported groups. When you tag the people you want to tip with Groestlcoin, the person gets a wallet address and full access to use their coins to tip others through the tipbot or transfer them to some other wallet.
More info and how to: http://www.whitepuma.net/multicoin-tipping-app-facebook/

- Groestlcoin Ircbot live
Ircbot is a modified Supybot IRC bot, carrying some useful bitcoin-related commands and factoids. It is present on #groestlcoin on freenode. You can also PM commands to the bot and it will PM back.

- Groestlcoin Irctippingbot
Irtipbot:
balance   displays your current wallet balance
address   displays address where you can send your funds to the tip bot
withdraw   <address>  withdraws your whole wallet balance to specified address
tip   <nick> <amount>  sends the specified amount of coins to the specified nickname
help   displays configured help message (by default similiar to this one)
terms   displays terms and conditions for using the tip bot
rain  [max] splits  amount  coins between  max  users on the channel

- Groestlcoin Twitterbot live
Now every user of Twitter can send and receive Groestlcoin without having a wallet installed! Generate a deposit address, send some coins and start sending groestlcoin to whoever you want, who has a Twitter account.

How to deposit
To deposit and start sending coins, please go to your Twitter dashboard and tweet: @groestltip deposit. In a few seconds the bot will reply to you with a deposit address, to which you can send coins, which will later appear in your tipping balance. After you're done with sending coins to the deposit address, it may take a few minutes for your coins to appear in your available, confirmed balance. To check your balance, tweet @groestltip balance. Although the next time you use the deposit command you'll get a different address, the old one is still working and accepting deposits.

Start tipping
To tip others, use the tip command. The full syntax is: @groestltip tip @Name Amount, so for example you can use @groestltip tip @groestlcointeam 10 to tip @Groestlcointeam 10 GRS. You can also append to the message some info on how to claim tipped coins (for example you could link this page). If your tip was successful, the bot will favorite your tweet. Otherwise, the bot will reply to your tweet with the error message. If you want to tip a few users at once, you need to use the tiprain command. @groestltip tiprain @groestlcointeam @Bitcoin @Litecoin 10 will tip three users 10 coins each. This tip would charge 30 coins total from your balance. There are no fees when tipping.

Withdraw coins
Once you receive some coins you can either use them to tip others or you can move them to your own wallet. To move the coins to your own wallet, use the withdraw command. Whole balance will be sent to your address. Again, you can either use Direct Messages or tweet mentioning the bot: @groestltip withdraw YourAddressHere. A fee of 0.01 GRS will be charged upon withdrawal.

- Groestlcoin iOS depot app
GRS Depot offers an overview of a single Groestlcoin address. You can see the balance of the Groestlcoin address specified in settings and the current exchange rate from mintpal.com.
