I am getting concerned about multipool being on this pool in this environment.

Don't be.

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 don't think anyone mining on Multipool would have any idea how to with-hold a block. the idea that hundreds of miners would do it in concert from one proxy is just silly.


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?

If flound1129 posts the daily totals of d1 equivalent shares sent to Bitminter, I'll work it out for you.

Dude I like you, but you don't have over $1M invested in hardware.  You also haven't been cheated out of over 100 BTC by the withholder on BTCguild.  I'm not going to hang around for months of 'bad luck'. If Flound wants to put all his rewards into escrow until we see several weeks of expected or better solved blocks that's great.  Otherwise we will move on if nothing is done to ensure everything is above board.
