bzzt wrong. Most pools payout only after 100-120 blocks after the block they have mined is built upon by other miners (they go via an "estimate" then "unconfirmed" stage first). Additionally, the biggest mining pools either 1) only pay out their slave-miners after these confirms or 2) factor this in to their PPLNS slaves as a mining pool cost. Either way, you can bet they have enough in reserves to cover a small number of orphaned blocks. There will be no pools that fail after this event and I am prepared to bet on this. |
