I was reading your Jackpot block topic all the time, but now it enlarged in enormous stupid way and i have to write sthg.
Whole your chichat about it is a giant bullsh*t The same way what was blocking user registration at
minningpoolhub and other strange moves like changing spread rule in the middle of cummulation
This all is going into insane. Maybe I'm wrong, so correct me, but:
1. Jackpot block finding is almost totally random.
2. There were 2 things that "smart" ppl choosed while taking their favourite pool. First was the reward type (for me, as stable 24h/7d miner, PPLNS is more fair than PROP with it's hoppability), with 2nd option 50% of Jackpot divided between miners (according to their share amount) and 50% as finders keepers.
3. It was true, that most of hashrate was taken by the minningpoolhb, same as The Jackpot was founded only by that pool, ok. But anyone thought about the costs? As I said, even for me as a stable miner Jackpot block gaved me sthg like 2-3k coins XD same as i get in 1h cause of ppl amount in the pool. You're talking about fair spreading
Jackpot in big pools is almost unnoticeable. It's noticable,... for ppl that gets it, but it's straight way cause of their amount of block findings. For ppl like me with low (under 10MH/s) or even middle hashrate there is a very low chance to get the Jackpot.
4. That's why the rule "50% finders keepers, 50% pool division" was fair.
a) the finder wouldn't get up so much coins that he could "break" it
b) other miners had their "reward" for their stability and help in block finding
5. Even if some miners (not from the top of hashrate pyramid) wouldn't take advice of 50% of the Jackpot they could move to other pool, to spread the hashes and in that way increase their luck for finding a block and receive their 50% as a new pool hashrate pyramid top. And so on and so on.
6. For some greedy high hashrate miners there was always an option to mine solo. But in that way they knew that they loose every % (from what's under 50 of jackpot) from their hashrate for mining away from pool.
------------------
And now:
1. High hashrate ppl will get their jackpots and the rest can only dream about even a % of it.
2. The same ppl would get enormous amount of coins what only destabilize the coin market.
3. Different pools have almost nothing to offer (except the fee amount XD ), at this moment it's even better to mine solo to get more coins (I could get like 30% more coins from minning solo than in pool, jackpots founded by my pool lowered the difference up to 25%, so almost nothing).
4. Now, while the dif is still low, only two reward system would count, PPLNS or PPS (when some1 decide to rise that kind of pool).
------
IMO:
"There's no problem with overtaking the coin by one pool. The real problems will start when almost whole coin market would be taken by few with "high hashrate"".
They will be able to dictate the prices, and this will really break the coin.
50% rule was fair enough. Not enough to you dear greedy? Mine solo and collect it whole ;p
And few words to
minningpoolhub admin.
Next time make inmine survey instead of changing jackpot find rule in the middle of cummulation.
Don't blame it on ppl comments, sometime just skip those bullsh*ts that shows up in here, cause when I read it I'm wondering if some ppl are just blind or don't think in the long term way.
