Its not about getting more miners to mine at this pool...

Instead of spending time trying to get more miners, spend some money and get more hardware yourself.

I guess not everyone agrees with you... Grin

No I agree with Biffa.
It's about getting the hash rate up a lot.

While adding losta small miners means more hash rate, we don't want to fall behind the Diff rate rising, we want to get ahead of it a lot.
The only way I can see that happening is getting a number of large miners on board - but that wont be a lot of miners.
This will only attract a small number of miners, but make a big difference to the pool if we do get some.

See, I wasn't aware it was about the number of miners. I thought it was strictly the hash rate that affected the diff. Interesting.

I think what he means is that there is only a small number of people who own 9.5PH or higher worth of gear vs you, me, DPos2, and others buying up enough gear to combine for 9.5PH or higher. It's easier to get a bigger fish to move over than for all of us to do it collectively.

Yes it's very hard to get 10PHs of miners.
Heh - even I couldn't get 1PH of miners from Bitmain or Canaan when I tried to directly Tongue

yes, it's hard to get the hardware... i wrote to Canaan directly as well with my intend to commit to a batch of 60 Avalon 821 machines. their director of sales and marketing wrote back saying that he will decide how to allocate the upcoming batch, to which i replied reinforcing my commitment and willingness to fly over to beijing in order to meet discuss long-term possibilities... (i've been in and out of china for the past 20 or so years). obviously, he never got back to me.
