Slush,

Is it possible for you to set up the pool to allow ASICBOOST? I have no idea what this would entail
A pool has nothing to do with ASICBOOST!
Don't listen to trolls (blindly) and do your homework on the matter first.
(hint) this is over an year old (patented) optimisation - not illegal to use (in production) if you pay the patent fee.

Well I thought one has to mine empty blocks to take advantage of covert ASICBOOST (?), therefore I figured the pool would have to organize that in their mining code.

Also, a Patent in China has no jurisdiction outside of China. I'm not in China, I would like to use ASICBOOST and compete on an even playing field.

Preferably, Segwit is activated ASAP and it is rendered obsolete...
