I was looking to solo mine with my 3 antminer s1's, but couldn't even get the antminer to see the tekcoin client. Then I thought about setting up a private pool, php based?
TEK should just get rid of PoW mining if no one is able to use it.
Not a good idea and also not true, PoW mining is usable(tricky maybe yes). 20TH of mining gear wouldn't be sitting on it if it wasn't usable. Also pow provides a large amount of the network speed, security, and stability. It is also an additional layer of distribution. Getting rid of PoW does nothing positive for the coin, it would undermine the speed and stability of the network in a major way.
Tek is always very fast in transactions, because PoW stays clicking out 1 block per minute the PoS system isnt structured in a way right now that it can reliably sustain transactions 1 per minute. Even if you hardfork the PoS to change it 1 per minute somehow.. you still only have a single layer, today Tek has 2 layers and that has proven itself to be a great advantage. The hybrid nature of Tek is why it has been able to be fast and stable without barely a single hiccup in over a year.
I also think there is some value in not changing a coins original core systems unnecessarily. Changing the rules in the middle of the game usually ends up being unfair to somebody.
