So a 4% fee does not include DDOS mitigation?
A 500Gh pool with a 4% fee equals 20Gh of mining power for abcpool.co not to mention other donations.
At an average of $5 / BTC, that's around 16 coins a day for a total of $80. Over 30 days, that's $2400.
Seems like abcpool.co is making enough $$$ to mitigate the attack.
Why aren't you doing this for your loyal customers when you say you have the most reliable pool?
This is an obvious weak link in your reliability.
No pool can offer DDoS protection, not even Deepbit. The best they can do is throw up spare servers and hope the DDoS doesn't follow them. On top of that, a 4% fee on PPS doesn't mean a damn thing. BTC Guild is a 5% fee, and I have made less in the last 3 months than I did off less than 1% donations in Proportional due to a severe bad luck streak in recent weeks. In the long run? Sure it SHOULD average out. But that doesn't mean a pool is banking nonstop profits, especially when they haven't been around long.
