Did I ask you to change anything? No. Simply stating the facts.
I didn't say you did. I just asked you to allow us to run our pool the way we choose to.
You seem to be implying that I am attempting to interfere with "allow[ing] us to run our pool the way we choose to." That implication is false, just like the assertion that changing the ask rate from 5 to 20 or more seconds "
would find more shares" (direct FairUser quote).
You are and have always been free to run your server however you choose. I don't have the power to interfere with that, nor do I want to.
On the other hand, I and others are free to hang out in this forum thread and point out things like the above quote.
In any case, long pooling in slush's and Tycho's pool looks interesting. If it takes off, maybe that will eliminate the need for policies like this, in your pool.
