Hi Rifleman,

I got myself confused between 'pays TxFees' and the idea that we were somehow going to get income from hashing transactions that occur on the network and we could collect income just from processing the normal transactional behavior of the network. Someone collects all those little .00002 bitcoin fees from each transaction on the web and I was thinking that these coins would go to the people doing the hashing. So even though we weren't finding a block, we would be doing useful work for the network and there would be the possibility of deriving some income from it. I thought that was what the 'pays TxFees' meant in the description of the pool. I can see now that I was mistaken and did not understand things properly. I'm fully cognizant that other pools only pay when the blocks get found. I just thought we were special in some way in that we shared in this other kind of income as well, it was a misunderstanding of how things work.
