I'd welcome the idea of someone creating a profit switching nVidia-centric multipool.

Patches to support such feature within ccMiner would be welcome.

How all the programming works is a little above my head, but maybe someone with pool knowledge can answer this idea...

Is it possible for their to be a new front end miner that is open source released that would point all some new CUDAminers pool where the back end profit switching is moved around using the closed source code that Christian wouldn't want released?

Would this be feasible?

If Christian was involved and backing this kind of pool to support his efforts I would have no problem with larger percentages to support his work and make releases worth his time and efforts automatically.

I figure in cases like the latest release where speed goes up something like 40% in some cases that the donation collected from the pool is 10%.

This would give Christian & Co a large amount of hashrate to point at their projects using our power and cards, while still making all of us a significant increase in speed above what could be achieved in cases where the code going public would maybe give away some of his secrets.

He would still have control of when the updates roll out, which he could still do on his own for weeks if he wanted, but like in the case of the killer Groestl and other updates he has talked about sometimes it seems the release would have been over a month ago if not for the code issues of open source.

Just wondering if this is possible and a way to go that would help everyone.

10% for a pool Shocked

Sorry to say but your idea is toxic Grin

(are you an xpm aficionado ?)

Also once everybody has the advantage, there is no advantage for anybody, so why pay 10% for something which won't be profitable anymore ? (this is where someone says: if you don't like it you don't mine it... but still... Grin

).
Just look at xpm, too many xpm have been mined now it is worths nothing (I know I forgot to sell mine Grin

)
