X-Rob: Well, maybe a mix. For a while there were 0.002 second share times.
chalbersma:
X-Rob I looked it up. It will accept +diff but there's a maximum + you can go up. going 1024 when diff was 1 was too much.
BingoBoingo:

BingoBoingo:
X-Rob: Is this the Get block template thing?
BingoBoingo:
X-Rob: Right, but if betting we are talking about a set of any particular blocks.
BingoBoingo:
X-Rob: Right, but you have to realize how much a casino can came at 1 or 2 percent house edge over time.
mircea_popescu:
X-Rob because you're not you. you're the pool op, who has to make a buck, and who is friends with the other pool ops.

BingoBoingo:
X-Rob: Can you do the p2pool type thing that gets people paid in the coinbase?
BingoBoingo:
X-Rob: Well, we're looking into maybe getting a new p2pool set up for this coin given how shit this one seems to be, so news on that might be incoming.
BingoBoingo:
X-rob would have to explain what the not-quite optimal stuff is
BingoBoingo: Byt
X-Rob explained there's some stuff this pool does that isn't optimal... so a replacement wouldn't be horrible down the line
mircea_popescu: <Apocalyptic> <
X-Rob> I normally just reinvest into hardware. // this strategy is bound to fail << i think he pretty much said he enjoys the tinkering aspect. so from his pov it's perfect, put some money in, letting it run itself out. bitcoin, the very complex and realistic online mmorpg/mud
