Why wasn't 'pooling' in concept implemented in the original bitcoin client? Then, there'd be only one 'pool' and it'd be the entire network dishing out proportional rewards to nodes. Seems pretty simple to me.
This is just my theory but If you had just even 10,000 miners over a whole bitcoin network evenly distributing 50BTC everyone would get 0.005 per ten minutes average. I don't think it would be much better for proportional maybe possibly 0.05 being optimistic. about .3 every hour 7.2 a day.
I will do that same for 1,000,000 (I don't know the actual miners but this might happen someday if it goes mainstream)
50BTC divided by 1,000,000 = 0.00005 every ten minutes
thats 0.0003 every hour
0.0072 everyday
0.216BTC every month
Conclusion there is no gain beyond this point, half the network stops mining but more then 1,000,000 million people are using bitcoins so it takes for ever for your transaction to go through
again just a theory somebody correct me im wrong or add and dooms day thoughts on the matter below......
