A question to any and all sha-256 pool owners.

[philipma1957]

Would you consider adding Halong  Miners T1 asic boost to your pool?

I helped bitminter with testing and they added asicboost to the pool.

I have 1 T1 point at his pool.   please comment as to whether you would want to add asicboost.

Note i am a gear guy I can only point the  gear a T1 for you to test . I am not a coder.

You're doing a GREAT service for the Community here Philipma!!! Love it or hate it, asicboost is unavoidable at this point. I believe that it would be in the best interest of EVERY pool, to allow the use of this technology. Not for the sake of following suit with trends or hype, but to allow more consumers, who purchase AB enabled equipment, a bigger field of options. Not to mention, keeping them all in one area, is the first step in Centralization.

With the flood of the Dragonmint alone, not to mention future releases, any Pool operator looking to keep growing with the difficulty,  should jump at this!!! Hopefully, we'll see some activity here. Once again,  Great support of the Community Philip!!! Thank You!!!

I'd temper that a bit with a "Presuming ASCI-Boost machines generate more Hash/Watt than other offerings".

Actually if enough pool owners adopt it .

Bitmain loses its edge of covert asic boost.

My  position is to be against overt  aisc boost  is to be for covert asic boost.

thus you are helping the largest asdic company there is Bitmain.

As to whether asic boost works better  we  can't tell unless  we get enough pools able to do it.

-ck solo
-ck pooled
bitminter
slush
India btc pool

makes 5 pools allowing it.

Like I stated : love it or hate it, it's unavoidable. The point will be missed if this turns into a debate. We have those threads already. Regardless of it's true efficiency, consumers are buying them. The important issue is, offering more available pools to chose from.

P2pool?

P2pool?

It would be nice if some other  pools would step in.

The T1 has a very fast block change system so would work very well on p2pool if someone were to add version rolling support to it.

@Philipma

A very generous member of Kano Pool,  finally ,received his Dragonmint. He is working with Kano on implementing the code for Kano's Pool. This should add an additional Pool to the list of options.

good this will mean six pools will have it.

kudos to kano and to the guy lending the gear

[kano]

Works on KanoPool https://kano.is/ also (for about a month already)

The miner is locked down - you can't login to it until someone releases the login information - not sure why someone would help make a miner completely against the spirit of opensource.

That sounds surprising if it is indeed true, since you've already had 2 orphan/stale blocks with them.
A "very fast block change system" would make that unlikely.

I reached out to asicboost directly weeks ago but got no response for our sha coins on bcmonster. The asicboost from bitmain is working just fine on our pools but would definitely like to add for inno and dragonmint compatibility if the help was there.

yeah would be nice

but if they don't fix it  switch  to kano or ckpool  and let them know why.
