I am almost certain we can provide lower latency. Have you checked our global nodes?
Regarding your other comment: you are wrong. Just like my hosting business https://gpu.host has always put customers first, so do we put customers first with our pool. And having more than 30/40% of global hashrate harms everyone.
For me, my businesses are less about making money than about helping people and the planet. Hence why I have paid to make our hosting business and our pool climate positive. I have offset all our carbon emissions as well as the entire production and transportation emissions of all parts we are buying. I go above and beyond to help people and the planet. That is who I am.
You might like my latest venture:
Being registered as a non-profit to help save the planet. Money is not everything. For me, doing the right thing and feeling good about it is far more important.
Iâm not saying youâre not a good person or admirable for the things you decide to do in life to help others and the environment. Helping others is great. Lots of people love helping other people and doing their part to make the environment better.
What Iâm expressing is that youâve been a little too vocal trying to get people to your pool by decrying the need for decentralization of the network away from Flypool. It should come from someone else rather than the person that will directly profit from that change (you). If you would have listed other competing pools saying, âuse mine or use these others but please move away from Flypoolâ that would have been credible. You didnât do that.
As others have said, lower your fee or make it free for a few months to get your hashrate up.
Youâve just started out so of course youâre hashrate is small. Youâre trying to get larger, and thatâs why youâve been vocal on here, which is fine. I hope your pool is successful and leads to more decentralization. Iâm only against anyone trying to scare people into switching to their pool by stoking 51% attack fears. Fear mongering. Please donât do that.
Miners like me dont care, individually have no affect on the network, i tried it to see its profitability and its a great pool, shorter ping than flypool, just as good of features, just lacking computational power at the moment, i dont know if many super miners even troll here, probably too busy on the exchanges, or maintaining their giant rigs, top miner on guru is mid 800s khs, anyone running more?
Edit - we care about the Network Health but since where we mine really doesnât matter to the overall hashrate, we donât care where we mine as long as itâs profitable, if I was pumping 1+ mhs then I would, other people idk
2xedit- just to be clear, id need 750 mining rigs like the one ive got for 1 mhs, id spend all my time checking temps and caculating electricity usage
As to Rootsâ point, yes network dominance is potentially dangerous but shouldnât be a selling point although it is good to know these things, the back and forth-edness of such is the stability, itâll turn, your pools young and good enough that it should sell itself; if you build it, they will come
Guys, I never intended this thread to be about my pool. That just happened to come up. I have another threat about my pool and I am happy with the progress.
My intention here was to highlight an issue that I still believe needs creative addressing.
