So by resources you mean cpu time. Doesn’t sound like a big gain, presumably you need compute and network resources to setup all sorts of stuff if you want to run a serious pool.

#48

not for a grin pool. you can run it on a raspberry pi

#49

the only thing that requires lots of resources is the payout handling and process. Collecting the shares from miners and mining the blocks rquires only very little hardware.

I wouldn’t trust to use a pool that runs on a raspberry pi. :slight_smile:

I personally mine to grinmint even though I suspect that my rewards are lower because of that.

#54

Does not the whole space suffer from this? As I understand it, the larger the pool is the more advantageous it is to mine on it, both with regards to regularly receiving payouts, and—perhaps more importantly—selfish mining.

I am not aware of any solutions to this problem. Please enlighten me if you are.

You don’t need a pool with 2.5% fee.

#56

you don’t know? so you don’t care?

#57

but it’s nowhere near 3% advantageous

#58

you can cover the cost of a pool using a 0.1% fee. 2.9% simply is a scam. fact.

#59

Not a scam but a business :man_shrugging:

Yes. I don’t subsist on mining income :slight_smile:

#61

at that margin it’s a scam. clearly.

#62

What would make you happy sebseb?

#63

Iam happy. Iam just amazed how the grin community is feeding this scam, instead of distributing pooling over all of the community to make it decentralized.

#64

All miners are not part of the community. That’s too quick of a conclusion to draw.

#65

who is “the community” then?
