Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 255 blocks solved!
sigh nevermind - I dont think anyone can understand my question.
I will state it one more time (already have at least half a dozen times) I do not have any issue with people donating to a pool.
I am simply asking why would they? Is there an incentive for them? do they get a lower fee? do they get part of the pool profits?
I am not being hateful or spiteful - but quite a few here are - telling me to shut up, calling me a troll etc etc.
again - was curious if there was some benefit to contributing or what not.
Relax folks and mine on!
also @phil easy brother! Again I have no issues - as for the renting of hash - it matters nothing to the pool does it? rented hash is the same as non-rented hash - the pool gets their cut when a block is found so rented hash is also to the pool operators benefit as much as it is to the benefit of those that rent it (well if a block is found, right?)
Again - let's lose the anger folks! if my questions offend - realize this, they were not intended to - and ease up a bit. Smile too - you will live longer

There are no direct benefits ($$/discounts/profits), except for the fact that the pool stays operational and we have a chance to hit a block. Now, with the new server, the pool is better than ever!
CK has stated plenty of times in the past that the servers used were getting old and that he was not even breaking even for the past several years. There is no reason for CK alone to bear the cost/burden when we all use the services. Base on this, and faced with the fact the pool was shutting down, all that could chipped in and donated.
and this is the answer I was looking for! thank you!
