Re: BITMAIN announces Antpool: Pushing forward Decentralization

0% fees and PPLNS earnings. (The tx fee is not paid out to miners for maintaining cost and the bonus for our engineers.)

This is not possible on the existing p2pool share chain. Every p2pool node would have to upgrade(?) to bitmains version.

It would be possible for the 'p2p' pool as described by Bitmain, for their share of the tx fees.
Miners mining on this pool are not p2pool miners, and do not have to run bitcoind or p2pool itself.
They connect to a pool just like any other, except that in this case the pool is a p2pool node.
The pool is the node, and would recieve the coinbase payout.
It would then pay the miners the portion of the 25BTC payout that Bitmain received, according to PPLNS, and keep the tk fees portion of the payout itself.

And then the mentioned tx fees will not be enough to cover server electricity costs alone...
I am wandering whre the rest of the money will come from to cover the pool expenses and what happened to so called decentralization propaganda ?
Where will go merged mining profits also?
And how the hell small miners will benefit from that
Once again as I see things the goal of it is to collect between 5-10 % of all bitmain devices all over the world Grin

Us folks be aware of that Wink

as long as you posses most of them.
Nice strategy for a wise businessman though Wink

And as always bitmain will steal p2pol code and probably ckpool also like he did with other open source code and make money on top
How noble he is.
So guys please join whatever pool you like but not this one!
At the end for the those joining antpol it will bring you nothing else but loss!!!!!!
