Unfortunately not. Every time we increase capacity, more miners arrive.

Once this issue is fixed, it's likely there will be another one. We hope to get ahead of this someday, and we were for about a week, but there's a limit to how fast we can develop. It's possible that we may reach a point where we have satisfied all possible load, but I don't think that will happen for years.

It seems to me it would be a good idea to close registration to new miners only until you get a handle on this.. Then you could have limited new miners join as you get system stable.. Nobody wants to be having problems for years..

All that will do is to cause accounts to gain value.

The only real solution is to raise fees until enough people leave, and then lower them as capacity increases back to this level. But we don't want to do that just yet because we can make significant improvements pretty quickly, I think.

Is it just me, or does this sound...Strange, to say the least. You would rather run customers off than any of the numerous ideas that have been suggested or even those that haven't been? As a business owner myself...The logic in the statement, "The only real solution is to raise fees until enough people leave"...Totally escapes me. There's 100 reasons I could list as to why this is, honestly, a ridiculous statement...But fact of the matter is, if I HAVE to list reasons why this is a horrible idea, this pool is doomed...Period.

Everyone here is here for either the profits or the community, or both...So I'll sum up an hour long post I could make with a simple statement. If you do what you suggest, this pool WILL fail, its that simple. Why do you think PH is one of the largest pools in the world? If you take that away, why would ANYONE stay here with the unacceptable amount of problems that have plagued every miner here for weeks if you take the profit away? I used to read these forums and the chat all the time...For the community, well, I now don't need it as the community and I communicate through other means...So I'm here for the money, plain and simple...You take that away, what POSSIBLE motivation does ANYONE have to stay? So we can hope we get 18 of a 24 hour period of mining and make LESS money than other pools with a fraction of the issues we experience here?

I love this pool, you guys created a system unique and SUCESSFUL...But as my friend Friskie said...Listen to the people who are making this pool live...Therefore putting money in your pocket. No, I don't claim to have all the right answers...Bit if a client of mine comes to me with a suggestion, I CERTAINLY would never speak down to them as if they were stupid and insignificant...And believe me when I say MANY people here feel just that way.

I don't mean to sound "harsh"...but I am trying to make a point and sound "realistic"...Please, take your own advice and provide the customer support you yourself said was the key to any business.
