Re: [600 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool
Frankly, while my own desire for compensation is high, the benefits of being an open source and 0% fee pool are hard to ignore.
Well, technically it's still a .5% fee pool if folks don't know how to turn off the donations part...

The primary Coin Cadence front-end that you see now on my site requires a lot of data that is simply not available to a regular p2pool node without some major changes that increase resources required by the server to the point where it would effect efficiency for most mining on their own nodes.
To solve this I will be providing an API that will allow nodes to pull the data they don't have access to from my servers.
I think this might tie into the idea behind my question yesterday about peering and "root peers".To solve this I will be providing an API that will allow nodes to pull the data they don't have access to from my servers.
Would it not make sense to see if there are others who would be willing to put up very well connected peer nodes, which won't service miners, but will provide peering and maybe the data and API system so that it can be queried by the local nodes? I've got resources to be able to contribute and am willing, Paul seems to, and I'm sure there are others who will pitch in as has been the case to date.
It shouldn't be solely on you to be providing all of this, both because it's out of your pocket, and also a strain on your resources. And, don't take this the wrong way, but we'd all be again relying on only one person for the fate of the project...
