Yeah, but if you get paid after each share via LN and you can switch pools instantly, then the worst case with centralized pools is that=20 you don't get paid for one share. If the hasher sets their share difficulty low enough, that shouldn't be a big deal. I'm interested in whether braidpool offers any significant benefits over an idealized version of centralized mining with independent transaction selection. -Dave --hcqlq6smls74apob Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEgxUkqkMp0LnoXjCr2dtBqWwiadMFAmE1yTYACgkQ2dtBqWwi adPUAhAAiBFox2rxTW5mVTXMs6hHUbkpxhZ8oFJ8J/1J+qOXoFfJKQj4CvBYHAtP BVyqm3lgPw4dwZ9i/LmHzb0KrvsB1ImAlXtPXcfhFmabKdmTezpokSlUJJwWV5FR gb0CphEue+kKW5cafXMU/GWzQqBBBfc8GT7KrJkBV5CEEjmn3YTWw2hwWsXm79dw VV8DYtI4iX5kWcRuKNywZdIP9xrALqbhr5ZEvxBn+V/Mh0Y4RzsQF7KHxRWKz/uA dJXk+IEeYtMrPvKBzorvhazHkxf1kcxkYKz0RtFowU0IGZIp6YGTRQU+CUoUZsIq AB59vv12AFuEZiJIGh+v2xpXrSoe9UfpToWmMBtKAYqgXdVuccHZVnpEtepSIkLA i5Kj8TywaOWH9/sLi7Eya7bVhg01/EqiB+H+X2phmcKxkC7qZriG7FcwgSTprKzV M/iGX8ltr/ykNXjT1jZa/vgLqHrwn4pM19HAcCwuTRz3Hskqs6iffcHdHtuvEFwq AcUio0h3LMkGFXMaBf/2DZXk1hT58Q41Sihgdo2pxMAwCaj09o5O+r9d+D+HnAQy knQ9VVndUHlZi9ZEmu1nDlU+1/4ymetZQGM/57VwzATh3VBkwCjVdJjP04plNaMQ m+bpBBmCKQl0lw2TAFJuIaHslhiXweXp/ZVHfxE5BzV12X4a3hc= =//+S -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --hcqlq6smls74apob--
