Btw: Funny how the discussion rolls on, while the guy who opened this thread seems to have disappeared....

He vanished right around the time everyone realized that not only were we owed the 200+ BTC that were held back, but also the 400+ BTC or more that he was paid for mining when he was not contributing.

That or his so called "mining partners" told him to shut the hell up before he got them banned from all the major pools.

His gear represents a true threat to all pool mining.

 So far no one has offered a method to prevent bad luck attacks to their pool...
  A solo fork for a pool works but and a big but  not very attractive to the smaller miners.
Pretty sure the bigger pools see and understand the threat of a bad luck attack.    I can see this to be a real issue from now on.

To any pool op out there   besides a solo fork what other solutions are there for us?


At New liberty   thanks for seeing and mentioning my ideas value.

for me I make money mining and selling and setting small guys up to run a small mining op.  Bad luck attacks would kill off many new people coming into the game.

Most people on this site and other talk about btc going to 2k 3k 4k to the moon.

Growth is the only way to make that happen.  I have said selling a small miner like a R-box on ebay would be very nice to attract newcomers if you point them to a pool with a solo fork.       Cost is low and every block you have a small chance to win.

People do not understand a gambler's mind on this website .... Gamblers want action..   Many play 3 digit numbers legally and illegally   and get paid off at 500 to 1 odds when the real odds are 1000 to one.

Playing an r-box at solo mining is not easy to win  more then  a 600 to 1 chance at current diff to grab 1 block in a month.    but the payoff is very high.

15000 bucks..   many gamblers would buy into that.   I have been pushing at the pool ops to start solo forks for a few weeks...

  So far all I get is a big FORK YOU   pun intended.  I would go into a rant against brilliant computer techs/it guys/code writers which I am not

in that club  , but I won't   as maybe they will see the values of my idea instead of resisting it.
