Ultrapool is now open for signups. The current fee is set to 1%. Ultrapool has a distributed set of voting wallets in 5 different physical locations, with both IPV4 and IPV6 addresses, ensuring good connectivity to the entire DCR network. I currently have a 0.08% missed rate, which is joint best of the pools with any significant number of votes. I've been running my own set of PoS voting servers for my personal use since release, so I thought it might be a good idea to add a few more wallets and let other people use it too! Any questions, feel free to post here or find me in the Decred Slack.
The devs are busy with the update at the moment, but I believe it should be being added to decred.org soon.
One of my VPS providers has some scheduled maintenance at the moment, so while one of the voting wallets is down the website will be reporting an error on the stats page. The other voting wallets are all online and voting, this will be resolved later today.
Does Ultrapool offer a "voted ticket" alert/e-mail? When using Paymetheus it's nice to know when to repurchase again.
You can access your voted tickets through the web site and API, but it doesn't currently email you when a ticket votes. Is that a feature people would like implemented?
Squirrels all fed, one of the wallets had lost it's connection to the webserver, resulting in that error message.

After reviewing the DCR:$ price changes over the past 6 months, I've lowered the fee to 1%. Happy staking all
Well, what happens with tribbles is they have to run between the main tribble den, and their seperate little tribble warrens. This is very important, as it means if the main tribble den is destroyed the tribbles live on in ther other warrens. Sometimes a new tribble who moved into the main tribble den goes missing! When that happens the tribbles in the main tribble den stop replying to requests for detailed information on tribble statistics, and send out search parties. When that's all been resolved, the main tribble den starts replying to inquiries again!
Hi Kandiru, I have been staking with Ultrapool for almost 5 weeks, this seems much longer than previous staking times. Is there anything I should know as far as delays or is there an issue that needs to be addressed from my end. Thanks, John
Tickets either vote or expire. They have roughly a 50% chance to vote within 28 days and a 99.5% chance to vote before expiring. expire = 40960 blocks 40960 blocks * 5 minutes per block = 204800 minutes 204800 minutes / 60 = 3413 hours 3413 hours / 24 = 142 days 142 days / 30 = 4.7 months I have had tickets vote the same week I purchased. One ticket, mined Dec 26, 2017, didn't vote until Mar 23, 2018. 88? days, it was excruciating! I got spoiled with the steady cadence of 1-2 weeks between hits. Most have voted somewhere in-between. https://docs.decred.org/faq/proof-of-stake/general/ good luck and happy staking!
