The problem with us getting so small in the past year, is the "ramp" has gotten out of control - almost 200 days.
It seems often I hear the obvious that people don't want to join a pool where their reward will be paid out slowly over the next 100-200 days.
Setting it to 3 Days solves that problem permanently.
Are you going to leave the
3ND even if the pool recovers its former 100+ PH/s hashrate?
It's 3 Days, not 3
Network
Difficulty.
As for keeping it this way, yes that's the plan moving forward.
It would have to get a lot larger than 100PH before ever considering any more changes.
100PH now on 5ND would be 38.4 days ...
But I don't foresee a need to change it.
3 Days independent of hash rate, keeps a consistent effect on all miners.
e.g. a small miner doubling their miners from 1 to 2 (e.g. 50TH to 100TH) has little effect on a Network Difficulty based N
but a large miner adding 200PH does have a noticeable effect on it.
This way it's consistent for all.
