Hi,
Regarding minning on the pool it looks like many users went solo, so the pool does not have powerful machines any more and it is missing most of the blocks. If this goes on for a while, some others might leave too.
What should we do? I am giving it all in a pool, but it looks pointless for now - yes I know, if we all think like that, than we can leave and pool can close till block difficulty it too high to solve in a reasonable time and most come back to pool.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
Simon
The thing is, the pool solves enough blocks per day to make it a pool, IE more than One, so in my eyes we dont have an issue. You get compensated in the pool based on how much HPS you bring to the table.
Once this botnet gets hit below 50%, things are going to get interesting for them.
Does it help if we add more high power miners? instead of x number of small once?
(having multiple miners (1 cpu) gives more hps2 then running one instance with 8cpu. But does that really help the pool? or is it better to have also big miners?)
