The problem isn't the lack of p2pool options or lack of good pool alternatives. The problem is that the people who owns the hardware has no interest in using those.
The problem is Bitmain/Antpool told us they would support p2pool when it was to their marketing benefit, then never did anything else.
They didn't even bother to remove the false advertising from the OP.
Quick, drag up some ancient affair you can use a cudgel for bashing me!
Whether or not Gmax and I were low information "victims" lacking agency (or sophisticated gamblers taking a calculated risk) is just your attempt to change the subject to a completely irrelevant controversy from years in the past.
No, this is an attempt by you and Gmaxwell to somehow make the HK agreement null and void by dragging some irrelevant little niggle into it all.
But yeah, Antpool should remove all mention of P2pool if they have no intention of going through with it. Or even better, remove it until they have a solution.
But that's about it. Maybe they'll get to it when the block size issue has been resolved.
