I honestly don't think poolwaffle should be asked to show everything behind the scenes to miners. There is zero reason for him to publish what he does to everyone. In fact you could consider his profitability code to be proprietary and no company is going to release proprietary data for free. He provides a service that he is paid for and we are not paying him for his source code, simply his ability to generate profit for our equipment. It's very unreasonable to expect someone to go and spend a lot of time creating something and then give it away for nothing. When you purchase commercial off the shelf software, you are purchasing a license for use, not a license for the release of the source code. I feel that this is a similar situation.

Add another +1. Wafflepool is probably the only pool that I've mined on that I actually feel I can trust. Whether correct or not, that trust is not something I give to many different places in this realm. Sadly, I've taken a break from this pool until multi-algo is established here, but I know that when it is, Wafflepool will implement it better than anyone else. I am very impressed by his skills, and I see no reason for him to give any advantage by showing his hand. I appreciate how much he does communicate on what goes wrong (or right), as that is what builds trust. Most pool owners aren't as up front.
