Title: Is this possible?
Post by: e1ghtSpace on April 15, 2014, 10:07:22 AM
There is probably a reason this cannot be done but here's my question:
Is it possible to create a miner that mines in a pool but when your GPU finds a block, instead of telling the pool about the block, it tells your wallet instead, enabling you get the coins instead of the pool?
This would enable you to solo mine but get coins from a pool for "free".
I have been thinking about this all day, so thanks for the help!

Been asked a thousand times: No; you are mining to a particular address and can't change it afterwards.
