Re: Blinkhash - Open-source, easy to use, mining pool software
Out of curiosity, why do you think this particular feature is unnecessary? I'm not a back-end coder by any means, but AFAIK, it'd be more profitable for the miners if that feature existed [unless I missed something].
Yeah you're not wrong that it'd be a useful addition, but with the rewrite I tried to focus on more of the fundamental features of the mining pool rather than anything auxiliary. Coin-switching would have to come with connections to exchanges/profit trackers and I didn't want to tie functionality to anything third-party at this point.
Good decision making you did there. Your project being open-source and free to everyone in the mining community is already enough whilst having ties with exchanges/profit trackers might just put your free software to be either paid in membership or full, as most of such third party data sources would require payment for your system to gain access to theirs. But are there no open source or free exchanges as well? I don't know if it would be possible having ties with them at your back end. But if it is something that would be a great feature, then I guess it could be a part of the development in the future.
Still, such feature also have another problem to arise, what if other devs preferred this or that exchanges/profit trackers? Then I guess your system would really just not implement it right.
