to "shared mining", "miner communion" or such

that would make it easier to spot new deals faster,

Xer0 posted this in the GB section (here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=525523.0) and I would like to get the discussion started here, as ckolivas has asked.

I think this would be very helpful and a great idea.

Hi, I am currently learning more over time about alt-coins, the scam-coins, and how to make money on the crypto-currency exchanges. I also mine BTC and different scrypt algorithms to produce (for the most part, after trading) more BTC. Mining/trading crypto-currencies is a fun hobby to play around with AND you make some extra money, that is why I am drawn to it.

While I have done this for a few months now, I have been not been very active in the community because I have been very busy with research in real life. Hopefully now I will be able to contribute to the community and learn from others; there is a lot of great information here.

Thanks for providing a great service for the community to coordinate their thoughts and discuss/debate issues about these digital currencies and thanks for making this a great community due to the great help, knowledge, and cooperation among the members.
