Topic: Multipool and Middlecoin - big profit, even bigger troubles... - page 4. (Read 14360 times)
What if coins changed diff after each block, enough that a giant incoming multipool would be discouraged almost immediately?
this problem also have small pools too
botpool.net krugercoin
Network Hashrate: 110.821 MH/s
Pool Hashrate: 101.517 MH/s

Multipool should have more than one port, each port corresponding to physically separate servers, partitioning their hashing power so that each port can be allowed a maximum of 40% of the minimum network hashrate of the coins on the multipool port.
-Merc
EDIT: this increases their costs, but they need to be more responsible because overall this is hurting altcoin infrastructure and integrity, especially with so many young coins.

I understand why people mine at Multipool or Middlecoin. I did a bit of "poolhopping" myself when it was hot, I liked the profit too, nothing wrong with that.
The pools fixed it by adding PPLNS and pool hopping was history.
Now we have "profit switching" pools.
Tonight CAPS got forked when (probably) one of the large "switching pools" dropped >600Mhs/s at it.
This will happen to more coins, no doubt. The pool with the largest hashrate can always cause a fork.
I'm not asking you to stop mining at these pools.
I'm asking to think of techniques / strategies to make it less lucrative to mine at these pools.
Some of you may get angry at me for doing this, understand that I only want to protect the supporting miners and the coins they support.
The real coin supporters only get to mine at high difficulty, at low difficulty blocks get eaten up by the coinhoppers, pushing the coin back to a high diff again fast.
This is not a CAPS vs UNOCS vs MEC vd DGC thing.
This can and will hit every coin, sooner or later.
We need to unite!
How do you think we can prevent this from happening again?
ps. Please be nice to each other
