Title: Re: [2014-03-18] Directpool.net Launches Bitcoin Mining Pool that Gives Back Post by: Delarock on March 21, 2014, 08:28:58 PM I came across an article on CoinDesk about this with the title "DirectPool Aims To Prevent 51% Attack with Community-First Mining Pool Approach." I have also read the "spoiler" above.
I need someone to explain exactly how DirectPool aims to prevent a 51% attack on the network. More specifically, what is different about DirectPool that would mitigate the risk of a 51% attack on the network? Additionally, I am having a lot of trouble comprehending the "Community-First" aspect. As it stands, all I see is another pool to point your miners at. I fail to see any sort of value add. Quite honestly, I fail to see any way DirectPool aims to prevent a 51% attack and I fail to see any way they are putting community first through their pool.

I responded to your post here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=472122.msg5829506#msg5829506 Great questions by the way. Also, I don't think the info was clearly elaborated on their website, so that needs some work. The worker's donation % is going to funding projects and it seems that the voting (POLL) system isn't up yet.
