We're discussing some additions to our services that will focus around PPLNS mining. While the current offerings will not change, new features would be offered and there would be some "rebranding" or "renaming." Please offer your comments.
First, we would spent June making improvements to PPLNS mining:
- The scoring system described at viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8859 would be implemented. This will happen anyway; it's already finished development and testing.
- PPLNS payouts would be changed to be paid in the customer's payout proportions, rather than in the mined coin.
- PPLNS fees would continue to be lower than FPPS fees, offering a lower cost option.
- PPLNS merge-mined rewards would also be paid according to payout proportions, rather than being 100% converted to the mined coin.
- Coin switching would be permitted for PPLNS to enhance payouts.
- Automatic electricity cost payouts and other features currently available only in FPPS mining would be enabled for PPLNS.
- All of this data is already be available in the database but is not on the website. As a last step, PPLNS data on the website would be enhanced.
After these changes are enabled, we would then follow the model of Coinbase, where there is the simpler Coinbase brokerage, and advanced Coinbase Pro exchange. While any customer could use either mining method, messaging and marketing would refer to the improved PPLNS mode with a name like "Prohashing Pro," and the PPLNS service would be targeted at large miners to increase payout frequencies for that service's customers. The default configuration for the "Pro" service would be targeted at people who care about guaranteed profitability with and few other features, while the "standard" service would have its default configuration set to have the most features and be the easiest to use.
