No, thats not the case with hashpower. The more hashpower you generate, the more of the block share you take from my other valuable hobbyists in the pool.

Look, Im not against big hash power, Im just against an unfair advantage due to scripting multiple instances of biblepay on one box to squeeze extra HPS per node.

I don't quite understand, without the big miner hash, do you think other valuable hobbyists can solve blocks so frequent in the pool? Of course not!

So, what is the problem with having big miners in the pool? I really don't understand...
BTW, it is good to know there is another new pool and it welcomes big miners.

I also don't quite understand. If the boxes used have a lot of cpu-power, running more instances wouldn't really degrade the quality of the nodes, right? If you can assign a node to each processor of a multi-processor rig, then that seems fair to me.

I'm just a small miner myself btw, using only midrange single-cpu boxes. But I could view all those boxes together as 'one multi-cpu box', and then I would also be running multiple instances.

Of course, I could imagine that in the future, someone writes a script that starts as many nodes as possible on one box (say: 2 per thread or more, I don't know), thereby bypassing the original intent. And I could also see that as a sort of 'hack'. Satoshi Nakamoto also envisioned Bitcoin als a cpu-mined coin, by 'normal users', but nowadays there are specialized ASICs, mostly operated by a few big companies, that 'hacked' that original view. But I don't think you can do anything about it by changing pool-rules. The same miners, with the same optimizations, will only start mining solo or on another pool. And in the worst-case scenario, they will leave the project, which isn't good for anybody, because people like inblue are the ones that make this community great.

I think that a better way to go about this, is for everyone to just work together and try and make this coin as great as it's potential shows it can be. And make it as interesting as possible to mine by 'normal people'.

I understand the view of trying to make this 'a coin for the people, for the orphans', but in this world, people aren't likely going to invest time or money if there is no personal gain - myself included. It's sad that the world works like this, but it does in my view. So I think making this coin something worth to invest in (like with the 401k options etc), will only profit the orphans more, because it raises the value of the coin.
