Ethereum’s current dependence on proof of work (POW) is not ideal, and although we continue to work with enthusiasm towards a proof of stake (POS), we must live with POW as graciously as possible (at least until the possible change!). Meanwhile, in the interest of the overall health of networks, decentralization and diversity of mines is a clear imperative:

Although there is Some instances From the exploration software of Pool Ethereum Open Source available, the absorption has been low and there seems to be a large efficiency gap between owners and available Pool Source software.
We suggest changing this.
To date, The Ethereum Foundation offers a premium to a developer or a team who wishes to start this project, on the basis of the “performance” of the final result:
100 ETH per% of a hatching which adopts the software, up to a maximum of 8% per pool controlled independently or 33% in total, the least. (for example swimming pools A, B, C with 6% each -> 1800 ETH, Pool A with 25% + Pool B with 5% -> 1300 ETH, Pools A, B, C, D, E with 7% each -> 3300 ETH)
To support development in the meantime, DEVGNIES will add an additional subsidy of $ 10,000, once the project is in progress.
We are open to a variety of approaches, as long as the final result provides an easy -to -establish operating pool under an authorized source license that offers similar yields to existing Ethereum operating pools (nanarfpool, ethermine, etc.). We will assign the premium to the project that we find most interesting and the most viable.
For candidates who do not fear the heat of the public debate, please leave a proposal for paragraph 1-2 This Reddit thread. Vitalik and others will examine the content and discuss his merits publicly. If, on the other hand, you want to make your proposal in private, you can send an email Grants@ethereum.org. Please note, however, that your project will be publicly disclosed (and inevitably discussed ad nauseum) in due time.
We are delighted with everyone to come together to solve this problem, seeing it as another opportunity for the impressive Ethereum community to go on time!
