Yeah I can see noobies mining on there and then crying for the next 3 years when somebody scams them out of 25BTC. When a pool owner says trust me there has to be a foundation for that trust. Running a large pool for a couple years is a good place to start.
I see you took the red pill.
I ate the blue one.
Back on topic.
I have 25gh in usb sticks.
I have 65gh in r-box units
I have 130gh in r-box units arriving
I have 420gh in underclocked s-1's
I have a 1th hosted dragon miner
If bitminter,btcguild,ghash,eligus etc ran a solo pool I would run all my smaller miners about 220gh
this pool would also be a way to make a 51 percent pool less likely as you don't care how big it is you only care if you gear hits the block.
