yxt: I, too, like this pool (and some other smaller pools).
And I DO appreciate the work kano does and I'm on your side saying that kano does a good work.

And well, your remark regarding statistics - if you think someone who likes to discuss something just doesn't understand statistics....

Even IF everybody who's into mining would understand statistics, still many of them would do some pool hopping - just because the do ignore statistics due to the need to make a quick buck to pay electricity. My concern is that smaller pools will lose miners over the long run (look how miners obviously jumped from Eligius to Slush's) - and that the Chinese farms and some few other big companies will. at tjhe end of the day, be the only ones who stay in the race.

I'm not saying that I have the solution for this - en contraire. But I was hoping that someone may have an idea...
