I rarely agree with gweedo but he is right. Harsh but right.
ASICs don't suddenly render the current pools obsolete. Some of the larger miners will solo and the the smaller ASIC players will continue to use pools. In time 60GH/s will be like 1 GH/s now. The numbers will go up but everything will reamain the same.
Making a "new" mining pool today and trying to get people excited would be like pitching an idea to make a new "geocities" in 2013. Meh. Now don't let this crush your dreams but try to think creatively. A "new" pool is about the last thing Bitcoin needs right now. How about making a storefront site (think amazon stores) which allows people to create a webstore and accept Bitcoins easily. By easily I mean not a line of programming. Everything through a web front end. Setup items, categories, products, photos, prices. Allow clients to price in static BTC or static USD where price in BTC floats. If you want to get real ambitious look to integreate stripe and allow merchants to accept both BTC and CC on the same easy storefront.
Now that would get me excited (if I didn't have a million things to do already). Another pool? How pedestrian. It was interesting the first 150 times.
I'm glad you said this because my other idea was to create a site that allowed you to accept bitcoins on your site and send to the wallet address of your choice, and features so as a built in wallet if you wanted that could create as many new addresses as you want and lable them. So each product could have the btc paid for it sent to its own unique address. I'm in the works for this right now actually
. It's just so hard to do alone. I also wanted to create atleast a 100btc pool for the clients who use the software. and I guess i would get them by using my ati farm and my fpga's till my ASIC's come. I wish i knew others that would jump on this project with me. So anyone out there I would even give the sold out FPGA for half its cost if btc. I have 5. with usb/usb hubs.
They can accept BTC as
Donations.
towards products they sell.
program would hold a loading popup screen till 1 confirmation from the btc network came in for the product your buying (optional for admin to enable)
can generate new addresses via admin portal
assign 1 or multiple address to a product
wallet on server is protected and can dump out 1-* times a day to your personal wallet or where ever you'd like
working on making it also as a plug-in for wordpress
wordpress widget to show conversion rates
pricing would be in USD or EURO right now so ($0.00 / 0.00btc) would look something like that.
Just as protection and faith i would build a BTC Pool with these cards and get partners to also do it with fpga cards i'd provide and they can keep 50% of what they mine rest of their life if they donate 50% of the card cost to me, and other 50% goes to the pool of btc to show customers that we are legit and this is what our company is worth in btc right now (just a thought to create faith in the company because I am also wanting to start a btc trading script in or a subdomain of the site that will have this web software) That's why i need partners.
That's it so far
What do you guys think?
