Correct my take if you think its wrong: Killing giant pools fixes this. No one will pay a big side fee over a transation fee if the pool can't assure a reasonable timeline for the inclusion.

On that note if a pool wanted to direct their hash at ocean, since they can design their own blocks wouldn't that provide only upside for them? They are dead set on equalizing payouts, wouldn't that help them do that for only a relatively small slice off of their winning blocks? I just want this because it would make the jumping ship that much easier for individuals.

FPPS makes block frequency theoretically irrelevant anyway. In practice it necessary centralizes as only giant pools can sustain it and reconcile bad luck reliably.

This means a tiny cartel defining what a terahash is worth and naturally that makes things very expensive for miners.
