A minimum payout that in general reduces with the increase in difficulty rather than staying constant.
A chance to invest in the pool itself by way of dividends to shareholders, paid for by bitcoins ofc, on the profit of the site/pool.
Nice I had not even considered investment in the pool. Perhaps a "reinvestment" model, where the btc
participating miners shared in is then used to purchase hardware with a proportional share of the hardware.... then the miners could choose to cash out or grow with the pool. Might get overly complicated and become too much of a logistical problem ... any thoughts?
