am interested in this too since I don't think Alts are able to handle the hashpower and pure greed of multipools any longer.  They can damage a potential game-changing Alt before it has had a chance to shine.  Most Companies take Months/Years to get themselves into position to have any effect in their field but in Crypto if a Coin gets popular then the Multipools hash it into extinction in a matter of days.  I Don't want to get into Algo changes and whatnot but am very curious on the posters reasoning that they are a "Dying breed".

Thanks
