It's actually not easy at all to implement for us, because we don't use accounts. And we have no way, at the moment, to prove that someone owns a particular address.
You could use bitcoin transfers. Address A sends 1.00X bitcoins to a pool address. The pool sets the donation rate for address A to X% and sends 1.00X bitcoins back.
No, it doesn't work like that. You can force sending coins that come from a particular address. If you could, it would have worked, yes.
You could use the password for "settings", which is currently unused.
I would really like to donate to you on a regular basis and more so automatically.
I agree. Using the password to offer a percentage to be kept for donations is a great idea.
It will help out Luke-Jr and still give miners a choice to donate or not.
Something like:
Password = any three digit number = $donation
$donation = Percent kept by pool.
So, if I send a password as
030, then 3% of my earnings would be donated.
021 = 2.1% donation.
Min
000 (0%) Max
999 (99.9% wow)
Any thing else in the password should be ignored as normal.
We said it probably 100 times on this topic, but anything that touches the password or the username is out of the question. It's just asking for abuse and problems.
