@tross Please understand I appreciate the effort that you and others who are running pools are putting in for small rewards. What I do not understand is why there are objections to me pointing out when pools are Stuck or Forked particularly when it has been obvious for some Hours that something is wrong?

It is now over 2 months since Forking became a significant issue on the network and yes I appreciate that on occasions it costs the Pool Owner money and if it was an easy problem to solve then it would have been fixed......

Bottom line is it can happen to any Pool not just the ninja based ones. As well as the Pool owners it costs Miners money as well. If I look at daily earnings days when a pool has gone Down or Forked are very obvious. It does not put Burst in a good light if at it's current size a problem like this can take this long to solve, what hope have we if there were 10 x the number of Pools and Miners?

I do not think the solution, as people are fond of suggesting, is for Miners to spread themselves evenly across the Pools or for them to use non ninja based Pools. I for one prefer the ninja pools. The Display with the wealth of information it provides and the clarity there is as to your Historic and Current Round Share. It was in fact one of the things that first attracted me to Burst.

So to those that it may concern. Please stop moaning at me when after some Hours of waiting I point out a Pool is Forked. Please stop telling me to use non ninja Pools, and yes I would go Solo except that I sometimes go 3 Days without finding a Block, and that's not a lot of fun. Finally please keep us informed as to current thinking on what the issue is, what is being tried, and what progress is being made? Transparency and information even if it's bad news is always better than being kept in the dark.

Thanks
