Nice to see that mining is alive and well.
@Kano, have you considered signalling segwit in order to push it closer to activation? With SegWit activated your pool will be able to include more transactions per block which obviously translates to more fees for your miners. Right now the 1mb limit is forcing you to forfeit transactions to the next miner because you can only include 1mb per block you find atm.
No offense but you really do not understand Segwits at all. In fact Segwits will do the exact opposite of what you just described. All segwits does is softfork the bitcoin blockchain to allow developers such as the lightnting network to create and entire offchain psuedo validation service so people can use bitcoin without actually having their transaction validated on chain. Yup you heard it right, your transaction would be in what is best described as an off chain time lock that the lightning network would then conduct as many transactions as possible (keeping all the fees to themselves) and at the end of the timelock they would get the entire blob of transactions validated on the blockchain as a single transaction with just the 1 fee going back to the miners.
Don't let the news or Segwits propaganda sites tell you how it works. Actually did in to the facts and read about it. It is a horrible solution and one that could fuck bitcoin up big time once you once you open that hole start to let developers into the blockchain. Bad idea.
