I guess you know what gridcoin is - cryptocurrency for rewarding BOINC contributors.
Gridcoin pool is just a combination of BOINC project manager and gridcoin reward distribution.
Earlier there are two pools exists - grcpool.com (working) and pool.gridcoin.co (not working). Or if you have at least 2000 gridcoins ($80 for 15 may 2018) you can mine by youself (solo mining).
Long story short I wrote one more pool, third: http://grc.arikado.ru/
This is opensource project, so you can open your own pool, github: https://github.com/sau412/arikado_gridcoin_pool/
Rewards should be the same as they were in grcpool.com (they are difficult to compete with, because no comission, faster stakes and more flexibility). Rewards are sent after my coins stake, typically thay are stake from 2 to 5 days). Remember, that rewards grows slowly, you need at least two weeks to reach plateau.
If you are interested - register, join as account manager, chunch workunits and receive rewards (same as grcpool rewards, no fees).
Just a head's up, you might want to remove POGS from your Pool Stats listing since the project has shut down and been removed from the Whitelist.

Where is the official white list located? gridcoin.us still has pogs in the list: https://www.gridcoin.us/Guides/whitelist.htm

The whitelist has been updated for gridcoin.us in the public Github repo (https://github.com/gridcoin-community/Gridcoin-Site) but the change has not yet gone live. We'll be trying to get this out in the coming days.

wiki.gridcoin.us/Current_BOINC_Whitelist unfortunately its not a static webpage they use publicly editable wiki and point a forward to it under the gridcoin.us domain. I am working on a webpage for the greylist system and in hopes they will incorporate it into the gridcoin.us website and use it so that only " trusted community leaders " can modify it since anyone can edit and wreck it right now if wanted. Even gridcoin.science's whitelist is wrong , he bitched and got odlk1 vs odlk whitelisted and didnt add it before he got busted.

not a www.gridcoin.us page so this is not valid please read my reply its long , I will be posting it as a post of my own additionally but it lays out the original plan a professional way to do a whitelist/greylist and how it should be done , it is my project and idea from the start and was stolen.I know you think I got beef with you for what you did , I am just open that it was not the right way to go about it and you should take no offense and I still like you and you are my team mate. You have a good page but it looks manual and using ddns when you could goto https://freedns.afraid.org and use 1 of 1,000,000+ domains creating a subdomain with a decent domain choice. Its just like the current whitelist that is manual and half assed and I drew out how we can automate and I have offered hosting resources. You can program , I can provide resources lets get this going the right way and the whitelist / greylist and blacklist as you have in/out whietlist/greylist and personally I think its also half assed just like the current system but its a great attempt. Anything non gridcoin.us is invalid.

That page also still has pogs in the list. But "list projects" in gridcoin client looks like correct list.

Yes as I said unfortunately its open for public editing and look at gridcoin.science's whitelist doesn't have ODLK1 again its a CNAME forward to www.wiki.com and we use a dynamic publicly editable page and really need me to get better medically and finish with the whitelist page that automatically incorporates my greylist idea and project using xymon showing RED/YELLOW/GREEN so red = dead and no payout for crunching , yellow = greylisted ( on the chopping block and in jeopardy of being removed from the whitelist but still crunch-able and payable but beware ) and Green = Whitelisted and 100% in compliance for the whitelist. Unfortunately I have lupus and am very ill along with just getting over e-coli and complications from a botched colonoscopy and pretty much on my death bed. I have just received the new 6 x 200w fans for my HP C-3000 and can install my 6 new 32 thread HP BL460c Gen 8 xeon blades with 168gb ram each and 2 of my 10 HP-BL460c Gen 7 24 thread blades with 256gb ram and both server sets have 15k RPM 176gb SAS drives in raid 1 and drop my old Gen 6 blades with 16 threads and 96gb ram and 2 x 176gb 15k rpm SAS drives and BL480c Gen1 with 4 x 176gb drives in raid 0+1 and my 24TB storage using 4 of my low power EMC CX4-120 arrays for storage since I sold a bunch of the drives ( 1tb x 15 and 18 x 450gb and 15 x 600gb ) so now I just have ( 52 x 450gb 15k Fiber Channel that is a massive array that does hardware raid 5 along with then setting up the arrays in raid 5 within the raid 5 and my EMC Brocade 300b 4gbps fiber optic switch ) with a 250mbps/20mbps unlimited service that I would like to donate root and admin privileges to such trusted head community leaders with access and knowledge such as neuralminer and create a root/admin team and get rid of anything public and not owned by the community and or a trusted community member along with the front ends of the cluster being in 1 of 5 local ( Seattle , Washington USA ) data centers or since xymon is lite weight and I have it running on 1 openvz VPS from frantech in testing and 1 KVM slice also in testing as we used it when I was the head night time sysadmin at CWIE/CCBILL for monitoring our servers in DPTV and our Level3 data centers that I had to run and be a cage monkey for all of their servers. The idea is to #1 monitor projects and ping , shows the project is up and the work distribution is there and unless such as seti@home that has planned maintenance every Tuesday and is down they have to have a 99.9% SLA. Then stipulation #2 is work unit availability , is there work and is it #1 enough for users to get work #2 stead workflow ie: ##,### WU available for not just the team Gridcoin users but non team Gridcoin. The original idea is based of the old EFnet application model but we do not need to have a set MBPS/GBPS uplink as some projects are not just ran at a persons home but some are ran off a laptop ( oddly efnets main server is ran off an imac running a virtual win95 instance and ratbox so thats how the server world works ) and then the project fills out an application and if accepted has to follow those rules for 90 days and would initially be added to the Greylist and once they show they can follow a 99.9% SLA , ##,#### WU availability and keep that up for the initial 90 days and would be automatically moved to the whitelist ( thanks to either mysql or mariadb or what ever the chosen people whom are willing to work with me ( if i can get away from being shunned from freenode but currently active on discord ) I can put together a team for this project as having someone just greylist a project and then its not crunch-able to earn Gridcoin is incorrect and BLACKLISTED so the current manual system is half assed as my idea was stolen and prematurely implemented due to me being kicked out due to my mouth not having a filter along with head community members putting their own personal agenda above the best interest of the community and since we are global issues with translations from American English to Scottish English ( i thought we spoke the same language ) along with another American that just did not like me although I want to include both of them as part of the root/admin/sudo/wheel Administrators of the project and since I do not code some dev work to customize the whole thing for the rest of our needs and donate it to the community and incorporate it to www.gridcoin.us as www.gridcoin.us/whitelist and only be editable by the administrators and can be constantly kept up to data with what ever interface we can reach out via steemit to some of the people whom are locked out of what was voted as the community dev team when we " forked " the github source code branches. I would really like to get this going even with me sick as I am out past June 8th before any idea of what surgery is needed to fix me as I current cannot defecate let alone I have a Foley 16g catheter going on month 3 and due to complications ( e-coli from botched surgery 1rst and then internal damage ) I cannot do much but lay in bed in massive pain even with hard core 15mg percocets its like being kicked in your taint over and over by high heals and I have to pick my battles 1 day of walking beyond the kitchen and 3-5 days recovery. Today is the first time in a week since I have sat at 1 of 2 laptops at my desk to check steemit although I have a laptop next to my bed I keep steemit on my wallet dedicated laptop ( this one and only non ssd and the hdd is dying but it was a dumpster dive laptop ). See , no filter I am very open but the fact of the matter is I have tried , I have tried to fit in and be a part of the community and my mistake I believe was when i joined Gridcoin I sat for 72hr watching before speaking and was to quick to offer VPS's when our leader Customminer asked users to put up full nodes. I instantly jumped to offering to either spin up ( I co-own a hosting company that services VPS's , dedicated servers and collocation in #1 the Westin building downtown Seattle World Trade Center , #2 Integra Telecom in Kent Washington and #3 the original Worldlink Datacenter from the old 1990s national USA dialup service from the AOL/Prodogy/Worldlink only isp days and if needed the coloinseattle.com datacenter where I rent a half rack from wowrack and 1 private DC I cannot name but currently is hosting a full node VPS not listed in the wiki after being shunned when I removed seattle.grcnode.deluxe-host.net and seattle.gridcoin.stablenode.net from the full node wiki list that is also something I would like to provide a webpage using xymon that shows #1 ping to each listed full node showing up/down and yes some of us block icmp so it would check #1 check the full node list entries DNS and is it valid = yes/no shows RED = down , Yellow = questionable , Green = UP and verified , #2 if no ping can we talk to that DNS entry ( actually we would do a simple dig fullnode.dns.entry and use the IP and check port 32749 and I am sure we can use telnet and a simple GET request so does it reply if yes = Green if no = Red. #3 I have spoke about using a certificate system where a user applies to add a full node to the list and after the pre-listed checks the seednodes ( src/net.cpp around lines 113-118 I have not checked since the gridcoin.co.uk DNS vuln was fixed after I reported the users being forced into using his nodes ( I very much thank @barton26 for fixing that after 8 months of my patch being ignored ) as many users pay out of pocket and do not get to use foundation funds for a domain let alone VPS's. So the seed nodes would need to give a cert like as I believe it was peercoin ( 1 of gridcoins codebase original parts mixed as its blackcoin , bitcoin , peercpoim and others I believe ) basically like this #1 the seednode would verify random block hashes and if matched that node would be accepted and pushed to the webpage that would change from wiki to www.gridcoin.us/fullnodes and owned by Gridcoin and ran by Gridcoin administrators. This I believe would also be a value added asset as it would have to check nodes and be a safeguard from forks as a node that did not match those hashes it would be dropped. This would also have to dramatically change how the .conf nodes were used and users could leave out the addnode= portion and the config would dynamically change within the client and users would have the option to " SAVE CURRENT NODES " and a warning if its a popup or RED circle saying " your node list needs to be updated please click verify addnodes ". Dropping wiki would dramatically benefit our project " Gridcoin " as we should use only our own services and not be half assed using 3rd party websites as I could go edit the nodelist along with whitelist and for example change it all to porn sites , change the icons and deface it as anybody can and we are lucky it has not happened. BUT originally we had quakecatcher.net on the whitelist for months and nobody caught that it was never whitelisted but someone added it. We could also do checks on the whitelist and via Linux or Windows scripting checks the projects and the application list and grep ATI OpenCL, Intel OpenCL, and nVidia OpenCL or Nvida Cuda and Android along with Boinc version required and when new applications are added along with existing Linux 32bit / Linux 64bit / OSX and PPC64 versions or OSX Intel versions along with version requirements / Windows 32bit and Windows 64bit versions and update the whitelist webpage. This would be a big improvement along with IMO not just slack/discord/freenode that we run our own IRCD and can then create and enforce channel rules for what is allowed such as #gridcoin being a lobby and #gridcoin-help is for help and channels such as #gridcoin-otc for off topic chat and run our own IRCD network vs borrowing FOSS since we do not comply to the nature of freenode and what its use is intended for along with we need to revamp the current channel operators whom have their own agenda and may not crunch Gridcoin stating that its not worth the cost of electricity to run Boinc for the payout we receive but since the apparent big breakup when the first pool.gridcoin.us came out the channel was left to lesser mature users whom put their emotions and personal feelings before the community. I will go ahead and also be posting this as my own post but I thought I should explain why the whitelist is incorrect , the current website admin doesn't maintain it and we need a team who cares and updates regularly projects along with full nodes and we need checks and balances and a real foundation even if its just a team that maintains the machines that provide the whitelist and nodelist and we need to tweek how the nodes and projects are listed along with fix the greylist as its NOT a blacklist and currently is being maintained manually and being used incorrectly. I worked 6 months trying to get the idea up and going and I do not code but I do have the hardware to donate and currently the www.gridcoin.us website states they only accept donations from digitalocean and since I know the owner of that company really hurts the idea of users donating VPS's to the community and we do not have a team whom would take those donated VPS's as you can get 1 from frantech/buyvm , crissic.net , gigebox.com or gigeservers.com ( old foonet ) for a very nice price for dedicated servers or vps's let alone the high cost of rackspace.com or vps.net or a chump cheap but usable server from www.server4you.com $38 for an 8 core opteron w/16gb & 4TB SSD @ 100mbps but they lie and its a shared 100mbps node but still a good deal. These are all possible alt locations if someone or the foundation wants to pay for a real website vs the chump way borrowing www.wiki.com and using a cname dns forward making it look as if its part of www.gridcoin.us its just not professional in any way what so ever. This also brings up that we need our own www.gridcoin.us/forum and incorporate a user login database where we can instead of only having the github issues section and then use steemit along with CCT and reddit have our own forums and can have a real website vs half assed www.gridcoin.us website hosted on a vps and then link other sites that the public can deface. We are lucky that the people whom have been shunned and pissed off or like myself had a bad introduction and bad year long experience because we offered to provide something that cost more than we earn back crunching leaving a bad taste in my mouth wanting to write a blog about my experiance using https://irclog.whitequark.org/gridcoin/ as proof how I/we/they had been treated along with examples that there is transparency and favoritism where one person could say something and get away with it but than another say the same and get banned from the " support " channel borrowed from freenode and exterminate users whom out security vulnerabilities or like myself am an open book and willing to talk real talk like a real human treating everybody like we are a team and should be able to openly discuss issues and security vulnerabilities vs the Gridcoin motto of " cover up and hide it " such as users like dutch earning @ a 8800 mag and $$$$ grc payouts by boincing up the machines at his work without permission and right after opening www.gridcoin.science getting busted and should have returned all ill gotten funds , or the user from university of saskatewan canada " UofS-Computer-Science " whom runs the IT department and makes their rules so he had their machines boincing and states " we donate the Gridcoin earned to charities " because you/he/i could call our rent/mortgage/car payments a charity as there is no proof and I am happy to see he retired from all projects and hope it was due to finally using his brain and realizing his ethics was wrong and the funds were ill gotten.

Great to see this make its way to open source! I'll be checking out the code when I can to help out or find any security bugs.

Thanks. Tried to write code as secure as I can. All my fears belong to simplexml_load_string and htmlspecialchars now. But my knowledge about vulnerabilities are very limited. Just always escaping and validate user data.
