curious - why would the miners have to pay to have the pool open?
Nobody HAD to. They decided to pay for updated hardware. Read back in the thread as the answer is quite clear.
this I get - but why should the pool miners pay for updated hardware vs the pool operator - who should be the one to do so, or am I wrong?
He did, we donated him to do, so what is your problem?
again, when did I say I had a problem? I only asked why would they? In my own reasoning I think they should not - I was asking for reasons why they should. Again, no where do I say I have a problem with it.

For me it is no different than pool owners/operators (or anyone else) asking for donations - except there was never an ask made. This was grassroots to support a pool and programmer who has done a lot for miners.
There was never an expectation or ask - just a collection of funds from supporters of a pool.
I guess this is what I have never seen - I have never seen a pool that asks for donations - and in this case neither did CK.

Where did it say that we had to pay to the update hardware? are you just trolling? im sure everybody here makes their own decisions and dont need someone to speak on our behalf.
-ck was going to shut down all pools. us here who play lottery only wanted him to keep up solo, because maybe our current gear is not worth pointing to unlucky pools. we all know our
risks, decide on our own, and send btc to whoever we want.
anyways what are you trying to get at? do you have a pool and want us to join it? or do you want us to go to a certain pool? are you trying to watch out for us? keep us safe?
your comments just dont make sense.
why does everyone someone ask a question are they accused of being a troll?
sigh never mind. from the thread, the way I understood it was that if the servers were to be upgraded it would have to be at the expense of someone else other than CK - that was the way I understood it.
I was simply asking why would people pay to do so? I myself could not imagine doing it myself - So I wanted to simply know why others would - if that is too hard to answer (because all anyone has done is attack me for asking lol) then never mind.
from the beginning I said I had no qualms with anyone doing so - I simply did not understand it.
my comments might make sense if they were read as questions and not as attacks
so Again - kudos to the miners that contributed to keep the pool open. and I wish everyone luck in finding a block - especially myself as I also stated my r606 is on the solo pool.
