So nothing in this thread is viewed as a "complaint". Got it. lol
It is pretty obvious that the majority of complaints here is posted by supporters of a different pool, not our miners.
I guess it would be better to support your favorite pool in a more constructive way.
Our miners can always ask for a help here:
https://support.slushpool.com/Majority yes, but you said zero complaints from miners at your pool, when it's obvious that we can see at least two in the past few pages on this thread.
You get what you pay for folks (2%)
Funny I notice this. Pools that are mostly hashed by outside miners usually run a lower fee than those that run most hash in house. They get the 2% back for the most part. Its just extra money for the pool op to grow their farm if you mine on these pools. The ones that dont want you to mine charge upwards of 4% or keep blocks rewards for their engineers etc. there are def some pools that are operated by people that get btc. The rest are just here for the money. Decentralization isnt even a concern for these big guys anymore. Hopefully satoshi design is correctly built such that they get their hand slapped;). Only time will tell
