Prohashing Mining Pool Forums

Yeah I meant to phrase it differently.. I have backup shit set up Its just not near as profitable! Dont know whats worse... steady shitty payouts or site glitches, downtime etc.

And if that $124,000 figure is after they have taken the 5% cut then they are earning even more than my figures.

You're not taking into consideration that the 5% fees covers conversion fees and etc. All 5% does not go into their pockets to pay for additional features for the website. Not only that, but the more someone eats into their profits, the less they make. This is only beneficial if whatever additional cost they put into the system nets them more customers, which there really is no guarantee a backup pool would. It might make some miners stay when they would have otherwise left, but those are a very small amount, and that amount would have to match the expensive, or be above it.

The only other way to do it, would be to increase their percentage take to cover the additional fees.
