Why do you say that?

The client doesn't support getblocktemplate, and at this stage it's not even 100% clear how (mathematically) you would split the work up into smaller units. This uses a completely different hashing mechanism to hashcash, so pool support similar to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is likely quite far off at this juncture.

Pools will take forever. CUDA miner shouldn't be far when an API is functional.

I'm trying to write a no-fee p2pclient. So there's at least one pool in the works.

Sounds super interesting. I am running at around 5000pps across 4 servers and haven't found a block all day.

Holy shit. This makes me want to give up, lol. Haven't found any blocks in a couple days, now. I guess the good times are over, eh?

Check if you're using older releases that might be causing it.
