Title: Hiring Mining Power
Post by: bytemaster on June 14, 2011, 02:03:33 AM
Would you pay someone to mine shares for you? 

Suppose you had a non-standard transaction that you wanted to get approved, but no mining pools are accepting it.  Or suppose you had a ton of transactions and want to avoid the fees?   

Imagine a reverse mining pool, you pay the pool a fixed price / share to find hashes for you.  You get 100% of the block when it is generated. 

With this setup you remove power from the 'miners' to determine what gets included in a block.

So how would you prefer to hire mining power?
