Navigating Power Dynamics in Decentralized Mining Setups
In my own experience messing around with a small group last year, we ended up with one person quietly prioritising their preferred pool because they reckoned it paid out quicker, while the rest of us were left guessing why hashrate looked off some days. It wasn't malicious, just different priorities clashing. What helped in the end was keeping everything visible through shared monitoring apps and agreeing upfront on basic rules—like rotating who picks the coin every month or sticking to transparent cost splits based on actual power draw. I've poked around a bit and found https://dogboss.org/ gives a decent rundown on managing infrastructure and hashrate in a way that keeps things predictable without too much central control, which sort of aligns with how we tried to keep our little operation balanced and drama-free. Still very much a personal preference thing though—nothing beats testing what fits your own crew.
