multi-pool is out there
It's a bit of a double edged sword. We don't have the valuation to support a multipool mining, but we can't get a lot of the scrypt miners and widespread adoption without them.
Well, thanks to Kimotos they can't really do so much vs us. Only give us advertisement!
And multipools will probably do like this for a long time, maybe until we're stable at 30-40 diff!
