Title: Will we need a pool for smaller pools? Post by: triforcelink on July 18, 2011, 08:01:58 AM In the not so distant future when finding block in a somewhat decent time requires several TH/s The creation of a new successful pool will be extremely difficult and ineffective. Do you think we will need a service which can join multiple smaller pools into a single larger pool to help control the variance?

(Semi-)decentralized pools like p2pool should work nicely as the larger pool.Title: Re: Will we need a pool for smaller pools?

many moons to come as i would expect difficulty to level out. Maybe even go down. who knows. Title: Re: Will we need a pool for smaller pools? Post by: iopq on July 18, 2011, 06:29:28 PM it's called multiclone, see the thread
