Please forgive for being the last to catch on...

But if we all appreciate the fact that the "no pools" aspect has served this coin well so far with decentralized mining and expulsion rate, can someone please tell me why we would bother trying to figure out how to pool mine it? Huh

Good point. Until now SPR is "no pool", if someone will make a public pool then perhaps SPR will find a way to avoid this.

Precisely, there is no sign that SPR's decentralization is under threat yet. The world is moving forward everyday and there are so many more new things that can be implemented. It is best to leave "pool" issue as side note for the moment. Let Mr. Spread concentrate on implementing his version of MN and Instant Tx. Can't wait to participate in the next test.

Well, i still think that no pools is much more important than masternodes, and that we need to think in advance in order to protect this feature, so trying to break it will tell us its weaknesses and allow us to improve on it and make it less likely to be broken. Constantly discussing it and thinking of ways someone might use to circumvent it and fixing it in advance (or at least having the solution figured out before the circumvention really happens, so it can be implemented and deployed quickly) is the best way to keep it secure.

Exactly - you have to learn how to make it, break it, and put it all back together - then move forward. Grin

Thanks. Was kinda thinking along those lines. Just dont want to get too distracted from other things like the MN's, IX, and other things that can help utility and adoption. S'all good! Cheesy
