I am getting concerned about multipool being on this pool in this environment.
As a pass through of other miners, multipool could be 90% block withholders and we would never know. And they make an ideal cut out. Who am I to sue if it turn out they are collecting rewards that are rightfully mine?
I am all for bitminter growing, but I don't like the sudden appearance of 20% of the pool from a group that doesn't deliver a block solution for weeks.
Let's have a serious discussion about the merits of allowing pass through accounts. What is the up side of having them on bitminter? And how long do we allow them to collect 17% of all rewards while their history has them contributing a statistically unlikely amount themselves?
While not blaming them and not saying they are innocent.
A smaller pool like bitminter in the 1200 th size can be damaged pretty heavy by a group of this size 250th.
Here is the rub we (meaning the doctor ) says they are bad and bans them.
They form 25-30 8th to 10 th accounts under the radar of block making since 8th needs months to make a block.
And bitminter has shit luck for 2 months. what is the defense for this?
one a miner can belong to 5 or six pools or 10 pools since the 'BL' cannon here may be a 250th canon it can attack just one pool our size not 4 or 5 pools.
What can bitminter do. Against multipool which is a big group it is easy to see he could ban them.
I rather he does not I rather he builds the solo mining connection have asked and begged for. I rather anyone that want to use that connection can use it.
And here is your kicker anyone in the top 100 miners is auto switched to the solo pool if his luck has gone to shit. This works to lessen the power of a BL canon.
