That's not the same thing.

Anonymous posting is one of worst things someone can make. Like already we don't enough trolls and spammers. For me it doesn't looks ok to hide behind anonymous account when you're afraid to say things from your main account. It would give you ability to say more than you would say from your main account. But for me it's such chicken move, it reminds all these keyboard warriors who write ugly things online, but don't have balls to say same face to face.
But if it's such must have thing, using alt account looks enough for me.

That's not the same thing.

But the current option to create an alt account makes more sense than what you�re suggesting. Because with an alt account, all the comments in that section would be linked to the same account.

That makes sense and I think its among the more genuine reasons to have an alt account.

The other solution could be to just not post in P&S at all, because who cares, and why do you care what some stranger has to say on the internet, especially the type who like to play armchair president/general/field tactician/naval specialist/nuclear arms expert all rolled into one.

I guess I used to enjoy the sparring aspect with ready opponents in that section, like TECSHARE. Now I'd be hard pressed to give a rats ass about any of it. Considering what happened to TECSHARE. Time is too valuable.

Otherwise, if we were allowed to post anonymously using the accounts we have, the normal secenariowould be that either the comments would appear as anonymous and you wouldn�t know if a particular anonymous comment had been written by the same person who wrote a previous comment.

To avoid this, apart from being allowed to post anonymously there, an identifier would have to be assigned, for example, if my account posting anonymously on P&S appeared as Anonymous 1, yours as Anonymous 2, and so on. Which means having to do extra work to implement something that is already possible by creating an alt account, which takes a couple of minutes.

on a side but related note, @theymos, what you think of "anonymous posting" on the P&S section? I am sure many people would appreciate.

That's already possible:

If you're hesitant to say something controversial because you don't want it to be associated with your name, please create an alt account and say it.

Basically, you are asking why many miners are stupid, and you make perfect sense. However, you are making the assumption that those who decide which pool to join actually own the gears and have a skin in the game, but no, the majority of today's mining is done using other investors's money. The guy in charge of choosing a pool is either

1- care only about about his own profit or whichever pool cuts him the best deal for bringing in a massive hashrate.
2- don't understand how mining works so they'd rather be 'safe' and go with a large known pool to guarantee income.
3- they are just plain stupid.
4- all of the above.

Now let's assume that all pools are honest about their fees, in that case, choosing the pool with the lowest fee would most certainly and without a single doubt give you the most reward. despite variance.

If I had 550ph and didn't care much about variance, I would go with something like kano which has only a 0.5% fee. With your hashrate, the pool will find a block every 13 days on average, despite the higher expected variance. Compare that to Antpool's 2.5%; you are going to save 2% on fees. This is 0.0045 BTC a day for your hashrate, which is $342 a day or $10,200 a month. Obviously this assumes AntPool or whichever pool is in question is even remotely honest, which is doubtful.

But before you get too excited, you are going to have to ask yourself, do you care enough about the business to save 10k a month with some variance? Does the investor or your boss or whoever you have to answer to understand how Bitcoin works? Is this your own setup, and you don't have to explain to anyone why that 3 BTC hasn't hit their wallet for 30 days straight and that the next week you may hit 3 blocks?

That's actually a really interesting point.

The math may favor one option, but the decision isn't always made by the person who understands the math.

For larger operations, predictability is often easier to explain than variance, even if the expected return is slightly lower.

I'm curious how many large farms here optimize for maximum expected profitability versus minimizing operational and reporting headaches.
