why can't we enforce self-select? using the signed block header approach
-
hyc
is there a privacy risk to miners, signing headers?
-
gingeropolous
hrm, interesting
-
gingeropolous
i don't think there'd be a privacy risk... if there was, its no more than solomining already.
-
jtgrassie
the thing I find most odd is that there arent more solo miners
-
jtgrassie
a poultry 3900X should mine a block in ~90 days which isn't a huge time to wait
-
niocbrrrrrr
by then the reward is significantly less and variance is....well
-
jtgrassie
the reward doesn't drop drastically in that time period, but I guess everyone is so used to needing to use a pool they don't even consider alternatives.
-
jtgrassie
I's really like to have some kind of pool option built into the daemon so small groups of friends can form small private pools super easily.
-
jtgrassie
s/I's/I'd/
-
jtgrassie
I seem to recall some other coin offering something similar in their wallet.
-
niocbrrrrrr
about 13% less reward compared to 90 days ago
-
jtgrassie
oh ok, thanks for checking. That is significant enough then.
-
niocbrrrrrr
1.676 vs 1.897
-
jtgrassie
Imagibe 3 mates each with a 3900x and a mini pool in the daemon. That makes small private pools easy and worth it.
-
jtgrassie
We have the algorithm that makes mining viable, we just need ways to exploit it to do away with the reliance on big pools. IMO.
-
jtgrassie
And dead simple small private pools would add a new dynamic.
-
jtgrassie
I suppose it doesn't need to be "embeded" in daemon or wallet. If monero-pool had a build bot I could package easy to d/load and run binaries.
-
jtgrassie
I dunno, just think we're missing a trick here.
-
tevador
niocbrrrrrr jtgrassie the average mining revenue is *not* affected by the decreasing block reward - see
reddit.com/r/MoneroMining/comments/…ning_on_minexmrcom_or_supportxmrcom
-
tevador
a solo miner with one 3900X has the same chance of finding a block with the next hash as supportxmr
-
jtgrassie
tevador: interesting. I missed that post.

I believe xmrig-proxy can serve as a mini-pool, if it directly frontends a monerod
-
asymptotically
I was just playing with that yesterday. It's quite nice, only requires a few lines of config and then it's set up
-
asymptotically
Also working on my own mini solo pool (but it's currently the opposite of "quite nice" :P)

yes, xmrig-proxy can connect to daemon and provide normal stratum jobs to workers
-
sech1
but it's not a pool, it mines only to one address
-
hyc
that is probably good enough for a small group of friends
-
hyc
they can manage the final payout themselves

-
gingeropolous
i don't see why it *shouldn't* be in the daemon.
-
gingeropolous
well, like u said, i guess it is
-
gingeropolous
well perhaps the thing im looking for is the ad-hoc pool approach
-
gingeropolous
where the daemon automagically finds mining buddies that are within some ping distance
-
moneromooo
It really doesn't belong in the daemon. It's like light wallet stuff, really. The argument for being in the daemon is just that it'll get used more.
-
moneromooo
Which, for mining security, kinda makes sense in a way, but still feels a bit iffy.

woof, 840 h/s. thats some low grade stuff

That hashrate graph doesn't look like a typical botnet, more like some cloud computing abuse
