I completely understand them, they just want new clients and offer more reward. They dont want all pools go there to get their money. Is there someone who cant understand something as easy as this one?. I would do exactly the same.
If wafflepool tomorrow give extra % to new clients, and all pools come to mine here to get his money, he will do ALL to stop them, right?
you don't post an ad for a sale for 50% off and when people enter the store tell them "oh fuck you, its actually 25% off". unless you are scummy ass car dealer of course. and that's what this feels like. fuckem
They're giving away free money -- a fair amount of it. On the one hand they shouldn't be surprised that people take as much as possible, so boo on them for not anticipating this. On the other hand I can't really hold it against them for not wanting to pay out huge sums to a pool that will 100% guaranteed move away once the offer is done. They could have just pulled the offer, or blocked wafflepool's IP address, but it seems like they are trying to manage the situation without resorting to that, so I've got to give them some kudos.
And to someone's previous point, the site is nice, I still have a more positive impression of ghash.io than I did when this thing started (only heard of them in re 50%+1 attack on bitcoin and double-spending attacks).
