Honestly, where I invest is none of your business.
then keep it to yourself.
No, I am not getting worked up, but I am getting a little irritated seeing the clock keep ticking upwards with no block in site.
I chose eligius as the pool because its the smallest big pool and the best one at the moment. Its not very large so by using them we support a diversified ecosystem. Its also the simplest pool to join, your btc Addy is your username, that simple.
We're already supporting a diversified ecosystem, I see no compelling reason why we need to change it.
I ask you why your so insistent on staying with p2pool?
You are not acknowledging the fact with the diff change in 2 days our chances of finding a block go down even further.
Your also not recognizing the wasted resources for the past 5+ days.
Yes, yes yes... the diff change comes up... every week we hear that... the diff change has been trending up for years... nothing to be alarmist about. This is normal, and your inability to relax and accept long-term statistics does not constitute a dire emergency situation on our part.
He's been using P2Pool for a very long time. Even when he had part of the hashpower pointing at a centralized pool, P2Pool was still part of the mining. I prefer he stay with P2Pool, because I'm tired of seeing pools and exchanges falling down and disappearing, and taking a loss every time it happens. P2Pool mitigates that risk a great deal, and 120 confirms also isn't a big deal.
You're just too uptight and impatient, and you just need to calm the fuck down already.
Why didn't you suggest a multi pool strategy? Even though IMO it would be a waste of hashing power, unless we can find a several petahash p2pool to join.
I believe I just did suggest a multi-pool strategy, but I'm happy not suggesting it, as I am content with the current situation as it is. I'm not losing my mind over the variance temporarily going against us. I know it will even out in the long run.
One last thing, do you not want the extra income nmc would bring?
He doesn't need to go to Eligius for that. He can add in the NMC daemon, and why not throw in the DVC daemon on top of it for good measure, any time he wants to. P2Pool supports merge-mining, FYI...
Take a chill-pill, man... you're totally wigging out for no good reason...
