on the other side we all see the pie chart and you should ask, why we get that? well because the design of the rewards is stupid (/clap devs) humans are impatient that is why 80% of all hashing powers is a pools and no solo mining, ppl want results and they want to see that bitcoin counter move and move right after the install, the current system is just stupid, just go to
http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/old_calculator.php put 300 that is the hash rate for a 5850 that anyone can have what you get is 21 BTC per month so you need almost 2,5 months of solo mining just to get a damn single block and a reward of 50 BTC that the only reason why ppl dont mine solo, you dont see results right after you start mining, want more ppl out of pools decrease the reward by 1000 times and also the difficulty
deepbit give us our sugar candy every hour while other pools or solo mining dont
That's pretty much what I was thinking after reading your first post. Large pools are a natural result of how Bitcoin is designed, and for the individual miner, the best case would be taking part in a pool that has 100% of the hashing power.
Unfortunately the problem is only going to get worse. As more and more hashing power is added, and as bitcoins go up in real value, the lump sum value of solving a block will go way up while the chance of doing so will go way down. In the very, very long term it might average out, but nobody is going to be willing to wait that long. And I'm not really sure it's reasonable to expect them to, to be honest.
From a variance standpoint, Bitcoin's design makes the largest pools the most attractive. Which is bad for the security of the currency, and unfortunately an unavoidable result of how Bitcoin works. You can trust that people will "do the right thing" and move to smaller pools, or you can trust the pool operators not to abuse their power, but the whole point of Bitcoin was to avoid having to place that kind of trust in individuals.
