Title: which bitcoin pool owner are hidden some blocks? Post by: digger on July 13, 2011, 10:12:21 PM are these owner good enough? I think few owner are hidden blocks, which meaning for example, find 5 blocks perhaps only distribute 3 blocks. Title: Re: which bitcoin pool owner are hidden some blocks?

Fabricating extra shares or extra ghash by a pool owner or not reporting some solves would be possible only in the 1% range, or those who keep track of their submissions would see they aren't getting back what their hashrate would dictate.

For example, the user "Vladimer" on this forum owns 400GH/sec of power. Alone this would make him in the top 10 pools, and he would get a goof share of any generated blocks.

I suspect there may be some pool owners who are not reporting all the block solves of their pool, and are keeping the unreported profit for themselves."

Most pools, including ours, post all of the blocks found... If pools were to keep blocks for themselves then the average on their site would increase. People with big pools might get away with it, but for the small pools it would be too obvious. |
