I'd also like to see the elimination of mining pools by incorporating 'virtual pooling' directly on the blockchain. Seems to me like you could implement a system where solo miners mining directly from their wallet get rewards that are proportional to their hashrate with every new block. See no reason why this can't be implemented (in combination with PoS, too). With native SSL any miners not wallet based could be locked out, and with certification only certified wallets could be mining, eliminating the possibility that one person distributes mining across a bunch of hardware. I'm just brainstorming here but seems to me the possibilities are wide open with the features Dero has on the roadmap.
This is a must, I've always thought that mining to the daemon directly is going to be healthier to the net than just adding more hashing power to pools.
I'm not aboard the taxation boat, could be managed over blockchain tho, and it will only work once many governments adopt cryptocurrencies as a running value. May take a few years from now.
