No.
No? As in "No i lose money over this and i do it only out of good will." Kind of no? How come? This should easily run on a server hosted in a affordable datacenter. The monthly cost would be be minimal compared to 14THs commission.
Minimal?
Currently it's about half my fee ... which is also very low
In the future it could be better, but over the past few months ... no.
Look in the blockchain - Aug I got ... 3.65BTC in pool fees (yes -ck gets some of the fee also - that's my part of it - but I pay for everything)
This month the fee total will be lower.
Not sure what some might consider a good datacenter and a good powered server to run a pool, but monthly server fees are not small unless you are running crap or someone else is paying for it.
A miner is now pretty much a set and forget item.
I know, I've had many different miners over the years, and I write and test the software that runs on lots of them
-ck and I wrote a lot of the software in most of the miners running on the planet ...
A pool is more than a full time job.
Some may think my time is worth nothing ... I don't ... but I don't expect a lot (and don't get a lot) for the very large amount of time I spend on Bitcoin.
