my opinions and ideas:
podc+staking is ok
we need some staking to lock coins outside of exchanges
problem for newcomers is staking - what about doing something like stake 0% = 50% payout, stake 100% (20x rac) = 100% payout. in other words start not from zero to enable mining without
stake, but with penalty if not staking, this can help start and then everybody build their own stake capital to reach 100%
bbp team - just add 10% bonus for team members
and regarding simple mining setup: all coins have some pool, so setting up wallet against pool is almost same, there is no need to simplify this - heat mining is ready...
if somebody want to start podc, he has 2 options:
one is setup wallet against bbppool - easy, and install and setup boinc - 2 lines of commands
sudo apt-get install boinc-client boinc-manager
boinccmd --project_attach url id
pro - supereasy, no need for stake
con - high pool fees (but in reality normal fees to cover costs)
second option is buy stake - complicated, need exchange account etc..., setup own account for roseta wcg etc, connect everything with everythig
pro - highest payouts
con - one time complicated setup, stake needed
we just need to point beginners to heat or bbppool mining and experienced users to second option
For me big problem for new podc miners is waiting time. There are big waiting times for CPID synchronization, pool.biblepay.org RAC synchronization and so on. New users must see somehow (somewhere, maybe directly in the wallet) that: you are on step 3 (for example) and everything is ok. Now when you start synchronization process you can just guess that everything is ok and pray that tomorrow maybe you can get some reward. When reward not come new user switch it off and start to mine much more easier CPU coin like for example Bitcoin LE or other to not loose his CPU time.
yes, but beginners can use option 1 with bbppool and then waiting times are 0
Dear Capulo
What are you still talking about? Let me past here something from BBP official websites:
"
Easiest set-up for desktop-users
The easiest way to set-up your miner is the following:
1. Install and run the BiblePay wallet of your choice, and let it sync.
2. Install and run the recommended version of Boinc for your OS.
3. Go to the 'Distributed Computing' tab in your wallet, fill in an e-mail address and a desired password, and click 'Create and Attach R@H Account'.
4. Boinc will start solving tasks. Let Boinc run for two days and collect your staking bonus.
6. Go to the 'Distributed Computing' tab in your wallet, and click the the 'Associate Reseacher CPID with BiblePay' button.
7. You're all set! If you need more information on staking and statistics, please visit 'Step 4: Staking and Statistics'.
P.S. If you run into problems, or use a system without a GUI, please start the extensive guide by clicking the 'Next step: Register with Rosetta@home' button..

And now tell me, if this is the easiest way how to start podc mining (official state on website) how can new miner avoid waiting times and how he can see in which part of the process is he at the moment?
Please take into consideration that im talking about brand new ppl comming here and trying to start podc mining BBP.
i checked now and bbppool is not accepting new accouts... but nevermind, this is sitll way for easiest mining, we just need this kind of pool
instead of connecting your roseta/wcg account you will use bbppool accut in boinc client - so you dont need to wait for syncing accounts or stake anything
all you need is register in pool and set boinc manager against pool
in other words you can imagine this as:
give me your bbp address
attach your pc to my boinc account (1 cmd in linux + 1cmd for install soft)
wait for payouts (i'm doing stake for your pc)
i dont know who is owner of this pool but this should be our goal to have this pool for beginners, or clone it
