the fact you impose arbitrary standards on this pool also seems to have glossed by your attention.

I'm failing to see how it's arbitrary to say that the vast majority of pools charge 1% or less. It's quite objective, and in no part arbitrary.

argumentum ad populum. the vast majority of people on earth don't know what a bitcoin is. ergo, bitcoin is worthless?

because why? because you've declared it objective? where's your data? it's your fucking opinion that 2% is too high, you cheapskate.

Lets use an analogy then. You can go to any number of online financial brokerages (Etrade and the like) and pay $10 a trade. You can go to a financial advisor to do the same thing and provide you some advice while he's at it for $25 a trade. When you're trading $5000 worth of securities at a time, it seems like a pittance either way, but the latter is still a LOT more expensive, relatively speaking.

so by your standard, a 0% pool should be best? sometimes you get what you pay for.

pool operators should aim for sustainability, not a race to the bottom for pool fees.

Just...wow. You need a lot of work on reading comprehension. Please quote the one place where I said 2% is "too high". I guess you must've missed:

I'm not saying it's expensive, but to call it virtually free is just flat wrong. 2% isn't much overall, but perspective and opportunity cost need to play a role in where to point your hashes to.

Secondly, how are you too fucking stupid to understand what "industry standard" is? It's *objective* because it's very easy to prove, not because I've declared it so. You want data? Here's some:

http://www.doktorrf.com/dogecoin/pools.html

It's a trivial exercise to look at that site and say that exactly 9 of the >55 pools on the list that charge anything more than 1%. In point of fact, *26* of them charge nothing. This list could very easily be assumed to be representative of the entire mining pool community, since many/most of the pools listed there host other coin pools as well.

The FACT is that this pool charges more than most. I'm not saying that it's too expensive. In fact I've said the opposite. Get the fuck off my back.
