We have, it's call p2pool. Miners (like us) should move to it, most of miners doesn't seem to care, their are here for short-term gain.
How can we help? Writing blogs/medium/etc. Record videos, etc. How to mine monero with p2pool and why
This has not worked. It is time for a solution on the protocol level to handicap giant irresponsible pools in some way.
Okay. Walk me through this. How do you enforce the use of p2pool on the protocol level? How would you even distinguish a pool operation against a solo mining operation?
Wownero tried to eliminate the pool mining. But they enforced solo mining on the protocol level.
So, how would one enforce p2pool mining on the protocol level?
adding p2pool block hash and something signed by private spend key to the block requirements should accomplish this? whether or not its a good idea is another thing
