My understanding of the "weakness" of pooling is there are fewer p2p nodes (users running the bitcoin client) since all clients of the pool are running a cpu/gpu mining program (poclbm, Diablo, Ufasoft, etc).

That said, I still run bitcoind on a server at home to help offset this "wekaness"

they attack and shutdown all the rest of the pools but their own??
I don't really see the problem if this happens, they'll still get the same blocks they'd get otherwise. Anyone who'd do that is just plain stupid.
He is talking about overpower attack, but looks like he didn't read https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Weaknesses#Attacker_has_a_lot_of_computing_power
So if anyone can do this, not much harm can be done anyway.

And all current pools have only 1/4 of total network hashing power.

Yeah I am and yeah I did just not carefully enough I guess.

Keyword! No-one who would think about doing such attack can spend so much, or even if he can it would be pointless to him. Unless he's a rich sadist.

People run bitcoin clients anyway to receive and spend their bitcoins :)

You make it sound like I'm spoiling the party or something
wasn't my intention
Quote
when I'm only questioning the security of the network that could be threaten by pools. Relying on "the right people" to harness all that cpu power is a bit of a hole in security, don't you think?
it's up to us, "the people", to care about security, the pool-operator doesn't own that much power, it's us.
it's not that the pool-operator can force us to use his pool, or something,
if WE don't like that much power in one hand, WE have to split that power into many hands and we can do that by the click of a button.

Based on my calculations, it won't be worth it to mine in a pool in 3 months
i'd like to see, what those calculations are based on
Quote
After that, i'm thinking of solo mining for the fees involved in transactions; read they go to whoever generates the block.
oh, so it will be worth mining for a few bitcents/block, but not worth it for 50bitcoins/block?   Huh

Try it yourself first, then tell me if what i'm saying is incorrect.

Think about it; in the future when you start to get a block every 3 months, what will motivate you to continue mining? Then people will start to notice their transactions aren't going through, they'll read around and get the hint that in order to make their transactions be included in a miner's block, they should motivate him by adding a fee. Imagine how many transactions are in that long awaited block.

Well, it's just my opinion anyway, based on what i've read so far. If you disagree, by all means, share your opinion.

Quote

Why not? Again, calculate it yourself then tell me if what i'm saying is incorrect. No shame in being wrong, but don't just say no and leave it at that.

10 minutes aren't THAT long :)

the 1 block/10 minutes is hard-coded into the system. If the difficulty gets too high, it will be reduced to maintain this.

Loving it, my initial connection issues are gone.

A suggestion, how about a field for a list of addresses that can be sequential/randomized and reused/consumed instead of a single one, perhaps even per-miner?

I tried out the Pay-Per-Share payout method and found that it does not give any details as to how much was being paid out per block.  Is this a glitch or something that is not yet available?

It'd be in-line with Bitcoin's creation of a new address for every transaction. More anonymity.

From the Main Page:

Quote
Optional Pay-Per-Share mode is enabled. You can choose payments method for any of your workers, look at your account page for workers configuration.
Current rate is 0.00080949465069954 BTC per share.

It's kind of pointless because the only person seeing them knows they are you anyways.

PPS is not connected to blocks. You receive your reward for submitted shares.
Your balance is updated once per hour.

Thanks, seems i missed that while reading, thanks for correcting me. So, to actually depend on fees, we'll have to reach the point where the block generations rewards too little? That's too far away, so i guess we can enjoy it for a while longer than i thought Cheesy.
