What about the solo plan?
We'll go solo this week - the pool mining is just a temporary measure while the mine is too small to deliver reliable dividends to the shareholders.
See this post:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140366.msg3131545#msg3131545The solo plan is a very high priority still, but it is hard for me to justify the time and cost to go solo for a 2-3% gain rather than optimizing rigs for a +45% gain or more.
What about this ?
They should set up a p2pool server. Then they would get the same they would get with solomining, with less variance and with faster blocks so they can see errors occuring fast.
