DE had a wobbly, I've repaired it and restarted it with the latest updated code.Usually when I have a wobbly it's because of too many beers!!!

if you do decide to make the pplns pool, around when would it be up and running?
I'm going away for a few weeks so won't really be working on it in earnest for about 3 weeks (if I go ahead). So likely it's at least a month away still. I have had interest from people out of the forum thread so it's more likely to happen now.When it's ready, I'll pump 100Th into it. 👍🏽

I'd like to see a hybrid solomining pool, where you get your fee for running the pool, the block finder gets 50% and the rest is distributed to the other miners.
Im with P2P on that, 50% to block finder and distribute rest, plus your .5% plus the usual donation from block finder lol.

How many hashpower do you need to go solo and make it worth your while?
I'd say around 2PH+ would be a good amount. Otherwise, if you looking for bigger payouts mine on a smaller pool

The only pool I know of that gives an extra reward to the block finder is p2pool which also pays via coinbase transactions but the block reward is only 0.5%
After sleeping on it a bit I'm now thinking that I would like to recommend the hybrid pool I mentioned but with the block finder receiving 10% rather than 50%
No other pool offers this so it would stand out amongst the other pools.
Also, for those of us who like to rent hashpower to solomine, it would reduce our variance quite a bit and let us stay in the game longer during periods of bad luck.
It'd be similar to the solo groups that have been popular on this site periodically over the last couple of years.
I could see someone with a low hashrate who would rather have a little of something rather than a lot of nothing but who wouldn't mind earning on average ten percent less than they would on a traditional pplns pool with the excitement of knowing that if they find the block they'd recieve a really fun payout.
Personally I think it's a great idea and would love to see it made
The tricky part would be that the block finder should get ten percent on top of pplns shares. That way if the block finder had 90% of the hashrate it wouldn't be fair if he only got 10% of the rewards.

Sounds good but is it doable? is the main question, and what would xtra cost be on top of dedicating the server to such a pool?
Cost to whom, me? Code time. I wouldn't have time to start on it for a few weeks anyway but I wanted the idea to get out there and get airedBut wont you have to dedicate a server for such a pool, and bandwidth?
I'm happy to shelve the idea if interest is low (there are plenty of other ideas I've thought up but never tackled.)
shoot out some other ideas lets get them on the shelf

Solo = cheap / free / commercial power
pool = expensive power / residential situation
Pick one
There is no try...
Only Do or Do not!

heh! Wadda ya know. Just checked and one of the blocks found on KanoPool today was from a user with 0.89TH/s! I guess the pool does still take maybe even as low as s1/3's?
But talk about a small % of payout...
How would you handle Whales dropping in to the pool and swamping out the small fry?

I don't see how this would be any different if the whales were mining on any other pool.

But if most of the miners are not big riggers like myself, wanna chance it on a pool that is basically solo, but will have some kind of reward if a block is hit would keep me mining on it. lets just say the pool block finder gets 50% of block and rest is split by hashrate of course, im totally cool with that, if a miner does not want to share his pool then he/she can stay on solo pool and chance it.

If -- no WHEN I solve a block, will the good news appear in my stats at http://solo.ckpool.org/users/? Other than monitoring cgminer, is there anyway to know that I hit the jackpot? Or do 12.5 BTC just magically appear in my wallet?
The money will magically appear in your wallet before any other notification since you get it as soon as it's solved directly to your wallet address.I wonder if there'd be a demand for a no-frills pool like this one for regular miners that does ordinary PPLNS payments? There seems to be little demand for new pools these days but perhaps there is a need for something people can set and forget like this solo pool that will take miners of any size and create coinbase payments like the solo pool does with a baseline ckpool code fee like 0.5%. I'd rather not take any hashrate away from the existing small pools but perhaps it might encourage more people to not automatically choose large pools if they have small hashrates, and might go some more way towards helping activate bitcoin core changes. What do miners think?
