Re: Botting
the way the pool works, is it divvies up the miners in the pool, and applies workers to coins of varying difficulty, lower difficulty coins get the small has miners, while more difficult coins get the bigger miners, like us with our l3+'s. the pool keeps track of all coins difficulty and last block solved time, and keeps block times as close to target times for each coin as possible, this maximizes the pools profit by keeping the coins difficulty in the correct place for that coin. if a high hash miner starts mining the coins of top profitability, which are the coins you said never get selected.. what hes going to do is raise the difficulty of those coins because hes solving blocks way faster than target, so difficulty of the coin goes up to counteract the fast block solves. now.. because difficulty of the coin goes up, the profitability of the coin goes down.. this is due to the amount of hash power that needs to be applied to the coin and not placed elsewhere on other coins.. the system trys to balance the block times so the pool stays most profitable, but you you static mine a coin of low diffiuclty, you dont make any benefit to yourself, but you lower the profitability by raising the difficulty on those coins that would still be applied hash from the smaller miners, to maintain the correct target block time.
