So how is the mining going to be done?
Is it going to be solo mining, part of a pool, part of multiple pools?
If pool(s), which?
If multiple pools, what type of change management strategy will be used?
Would you be doing DGM, PPS, or other?
Would there be voting on these things?
I know that things could change between now and when the boxes come, but I was just wondering the game plan.
The hash rate does not really allow for solo mining at both the current difficulty and the difficulty that'll probably be the case once they are delivered.
I think a pool and two fallback pools would suffice. I believe it would be best to have pools where you can publicly view hashrate and hashrate over time. The only one that has that that I know of is Eligius, but I suppose waldohoover might prefer to have them as part of Mining Team Reddit on BTCGuild. Alternatively, you could use any pool and then use a webinterface for viewing hashrate, supposing such a thing exists for the mining client KnCMiner's machines will support (I know it does for cgminer, it ships with miner.php)
