Title: A suggestion for any well known pool operator. Run a second pool as solo Post by: philipma1957 on June 09, 2014, 12:43:16 PM Here is my suggestion. right know there are 1 or 2 small solo mining pools.
The operators of those pools are not well known and who knows if your would ever collect your solo block if you won. Right now I count at least 8 well know pools that pay off and people do not fear that they will pay. If any one of you ran a solo mining pool as an option. Mining for BTC and NMC with a 1 btc fee and a 2 nmc fee for the winner of the block it would be a viable option for a miner. Lets say miner a has 2 antminer s-1's and 5 antminer U-2's he could point his big guns (s-1's) to your standard poll and he could point his pop guns (U-2's) at the solo pool. If someone hits a btc block you send him all the coins less 1BTC. If someone hits a nmc block you send him all the coin less 2NMC. I am thinking this would allow for getting new/fresh miners. An ebay add saying buy this U-2 or buy this R-box it will give you a chance at every block mined as long as you point it to Solo POOL Right now a 25 coin BTC block is worth 16250 USD Right now a 50 coin NMC block is worth 150 USD SEEMS to me a good idea to attract new miners. My skills are not that of coding and pool design. Is this a viable idea for a bigger respected pool? Of is it just not feasible? Comments are welcome.

When a pool owner says trust me there has to be a foundation for that trust. Running a large pool for a couple years is a good place to start.

Back on topic. I have 25gh in usb sticks. I have 65gh in r-box units I have 130gh in r-box units arriving I have 420gh in underclocked s-1's I have a 1th hosted dragon miner If bitminter,btcguild,ghash,eligus etc ran a solo pool I would run all my smaller miners about 220gh this pool would also be a way to make a 51 percent pool less likely as you don't care how big it is you only care if you gear hits the block. |
