A variation on the solo idea is this every day has 24 hours.

 pick  2 hours a day let it roll forward  

 0:00-  2:00   day 1
 2:00-  4:00   day 2
 4:00-  6:00   day 3
 6:00-  8:00   day 4
 8:00-  10:00 day 5
10:00- 12:00  day 6
12:00- 14:00  day 7
14:00- 16:00  day 8
16:00- 18:00  day 9
18:00 - 20:00 day 10
20:00- 22:00  day 11
22:00-24:00  day 12


in that 2 hour period whomever hits the block or blocks     it is his  or hers just as if  it was  solo mined.

yeah koi will get the most hits   he has 200 th     I have .4 th  but any one with dud gear/dud software will never get a block in that time period.


 easier to do then a second server for a second pool…   it would certainly discourage bad gear/software miners that know their gear is bad.


How about this idea Doc.  does it have merit.


   you make the same money and pay out the same money.  No extra gear or paperwork.


     2 hours a day we all get a shot at a big hit.

 the other 22 hours we are at normal.

This would discourage  that suspect bad luck canon would it not.  Opinions?
