We have decided to have a restriction with maximum 300KH/s per user on our pool. This is to ensure that there is a much more fair coin sharing in our pool when the pool find a block. We would like to avoid that some with huge hash take "everything". Therefore with a limit it will give much more fair sharing of the mined coins in our pool. We don't do this for fun. Not either acting as god. But as simple as to give a fair coin distribution between pool members. And at the same time give a help to the global hash to be more at normal level. Remember that very high hash gives low payback.
Do you really think miners with Mh's cann't create their own private pool without limitation or even solo mining? As I previously said, all these movings return us to McCartyism. After migrating to private pools you ask devs to ban 'non-authorized' pools, ban solo mining, limit blocks per minute. Finally you ask for ID card. War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength (c)
Magi already have mechanism to regulate network hashrate. Nobody wants to lose money. If your hashrate is too big - you lose money. Policy "squeeze out" big miners from the pools, depriving themselves of the opportunity to communicate. You cannt ask people do not mine, you can only tell them about non-linear reward per hashrate, so they can reconfigure mining hardware to mine Magi at 50% of power and have no lose.
You ruins Magi with your own hands.
If a pool owner want's limitation on how high hash a user can have, it's up to them. It's not for the team or community to decide, if community disagrees with a pool, they can always mine on another pool
Don't think Magi team will ever disallow private pools (read non-authorized) nor solo-mining (which is basically the same as private pool).
But you are right about it's all about giving out right information on how the mechanism work so all can profit from mining and keep the block reward at a peak level. And yes, if high
Every thing has two sides, and here's how i think they operate.
When block reward is ~10xmg, they accumulate as much as they can. When they are ready to offload their earnings from mining, they give full power. This will lower block reward but also and more important, it will increase the demand for magi since it's easier to buy then to mine in that case. This in turn causes the price to go up. When they think the price is good enough, they sell and get's back to normal mining.
They can't do that now because of exchanges have their wallets in maintenance mode and not allowing transfer of xmg to exchanges. So now is actually a pretty good time to create a high demand of xmg then to create a high supply of magi.
It's what i'm thinking.
