Slowly increase the fee until the pool hashrate falls enough to only be 30% of the network, or something like that.
I support this idea.
Also, deny new connections or even disconnect existing ones.
My miners all have failovers, drop my connection for instance, and I'll simply be mining on a different pool.
Maybe, start issuing warnings at 39%, denying new connections at 40%, dropping connections at 41%
Dropping connections wouldn't be fair, simply denying new connections yes. Or what they could do is disconnect everyone, and once everyone starts to reconnect, deny new connections once it reaches 39.99%
Why wouldn't it be fair? Announce to everyone that this is happening and advise that failover pools are required, then when push comes to shove drop the newest connections. Seems fair to me.
If they're in, they're in, you can't just choose random people to kick out. Denying new connections is the best option.
True, but you can try to make people voluntarily leave by raising fees. I'm almost positive another pool did this in the relatively recent past and it worked to make people leave. Can't remember the pool though but like in the last 1.5 years. Seems simple enough and might actually earn pool owner some more money!
That works too.
I really don't understand why Ghash is ignoring these ideas that we came up with, and they could come up with easily. They say that they're doing everything they can, but that's just not true. They aren't even bothered to reply to us. What do they want to do? Create fear?
