Its not private.

4% fee though if I remember correctly.

Tbf the ASICMiner angle does have some credibility to it on first glance.

Ah OK, wasn't sure. But 4% seems like a huge markup for a rather large mining operation like ASICMiner. Maybe they're better off solo-mining, then. Do you think they could have made a deal with Discus Fish for lower fees, though?

Yeah for sure, thats why the ASICminer angle has some credibilty, if your bringing petahashes of mining power they wont be charging you as high of a fee.

1% of $100 is better than 4% of $10 (crude example!)

Yeah, being a big pool makes your rate of hitting a block more predictable. Also you gain exposure, which is good. Why do you think people join Discus Fish if it has such a high fee, if there are other pools with lower or even no fee???
