While I agree with Ryan on this, I also think this is the price of doing business. Pool ops have long strange hours that are never convenient and launches that are complete flops seem to be the new norm. I, for one, really think that the professional services we offer should be sought after. Pool ops should not need to be posting in a coin threads about "come sign up with us". Coin Devs should be contacting us and asking us if they can have a pool established for their coin.

The Dev missing the entire launch and not having wallets compiled should not be 'the cost of doing business.' Competent devs don't make these mistakes.
The coin launches are too dodgy. Jumping into a thread and volunteering 'professional services' to someone who may be a scammer and is probably incompetent doesn't make any one money.
You are right, though, real devs should want to work with experienced pools. Their reputations are on the line too.
