Poll
Question: How would you like to sponsor your dream pool?
Ads, I don't mind seeing them on the website or in my emails
Donations, if the pool is good I`d donate willingly
Percentage of earnings, you help me earn money, I share some with you
PPS spread, I`ll pay a bit extra for a steadier income
Subscriptions, I`ll pay to mine in a good pool

How do you think a pool should earn its upkeep? It obviously needs to make money to operate, and it can only earn money from or on the miners (assuming it doesn't sell your data somewhere...). So, if you had the option to keep your favourite pool running (or the pool of your dreams), how would you want it to earn money to keep its servers running?

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Hehe, that would be cleaver, but I don`t think the community would appreciate it much;).

You also missed: "Using the pool as metapool to pool hop proportional pools + keep (parts of) the profits." and "Merged mining without paying out Namecoins to miners"
https://www.coinlend.org <-- automated lending at various exchanges.
https://www.bitfinex.com <-- Trade BTC for other currencies and vice versa.
