Thinking of Starting a Pool Based in the US.

[-ck]

A newbie here as well, I too have thought of starting a pool, but really i just want to be involved with a group/community/business involving mining.

Running your own p2pool node is the answer to this then if that's your primary goal.

kano you developed cgminer?

I agree with the forum.  Any newcomer that opens up a pool and asks for those to join is not very smart right now.  

Its like buying something off of ebay from a seller with 0 feedback, common sense.

You've got to spend the time with the community and focus on reaching out to others and contributing before making a major move like opening up a pool.

Laviathon not trying to be against you but rather help you with my opinion and view on this topic.

The 25btc escrow, you guys are some rich mofo's haha,

Wrong  ebay will act as your escrow if you buy from the guy with 0 feedbacks.

Ok well you are wrong for calling me wrong: you and several other 'trusted' members here on the forum are acting as an 'ebay' escrow for Laviathon

I also started this thread 3+ months ago before nexious did what he did.     I think the escrow thing is legit.  Especially with the amount if money involved for the hashing power I would need people to commit.
