Regarding the pool wallet.
I've had a good think about how I do it and what changes I could make.
It's actually not all that difficult to do as I do already with one change, combine them once a day rather than send each one when it's due.
I like the process I have at the moment of checks and balances - that are beyond what many may expect

- but I could simply continue that to get to the point where I'm happy with each individual result, but not send the result, then later run another process that picks a set of payouts from earlier in the process and combines them all, once a day.
That way I already know they've passed all inspections, and it's just dependent on me creating a new step that can add the earlier data correctly - so dust payouts are combined, and dust only not sent if the combination is below 10k satoshi.
Yeah I really don't want a pool bank for everyone, and I think this change would fit in well, and reduce the number of transactions and the payout division caused by our average expected more than one block a day.
Any comments?
(Edit: if anyone didn't notice, the last address in each payout is the total dust in each, which has always been more than zero except once)
That sounds like the natural next step for us. As you say your already doing all the checks and balances and just combining each into 1 payment (unless I misunderstood). I assume the rewards page will remain showing each individual block earning, but how about the payments page? will that still be broken down by block or will that change to show the combined payment? or is that part of the to do list?
Following on from the conversation on TX fee's at the moment with 0.0002/0.0003 those fees are still way below any bank/financial institute so upping the fee slightly shouldn't be too bad at the moment. It's only a bad thing if/when Bitcoin becomes a lot more mainstream and the "value" of BTC increases which means the fee should decrease by a decimal or two. Possibly the fee could be a calculation depending on transactions per day & blocks per day. This way fee's are proportional and should have no trouble being included in blocks, that said this means pools need to stop mining empty blocks and include transactions as this doesn't help the network. Let's also not mention certain pool's not including kano.is transactions in their blocks...... (and stupidly some don't even include their own transactions).
