If you are creating a pool, how do you encourage people to join if they might not get paid more then once a month or possibly every other month or once a quarter?
Same loop as above just from the other side.

Actually it's quite simple If you are creating a pool, how do you encourage people to join if they might not get paid more then once a month or possibly every other month or once a quarter?
Same loop as above just from the other side.

Firstly, while I've made no where near the BTC of the large pools charging large fees and -ck charging ridiculous amounts to write crappy, buggy code, so they have to pay him more again to fix it,
I have made enough to be happy (2 digits) and also keep the pool running for the future - even though it's running at a loss at the moment.
Where did that BTC I made come from? Running a pool of course - so why not keep it running using that BTC ...
Anyway the simple answer is, as has happened a number of times in the past on my pool, some large miner gets fed up with the fees and lies of the pool they are using, and they come by and talk to me.
Unfortunately the last two (900PH and 200PH) couldn't convince their board that joining a small pool would be a good idea.
Odd though, since the pool wouldn't be small any more
But it happens on occasion, and it will only take one of them to come on board, then lots of small miners will join again after that.
The sooner the better of course, but alas, it's random when it happens.
Maybe some of the new features I've spent so much time and effort on will help convince the next one
My pool is the best connected and best for Bitcoin pool, without doubt.
Alas at the moment it's too small to attract lots of small to medium miners.
