Authentication and encryption. Don&#39;t let your hash rate be stolen. Even if you aren&#39;t concerned about this, your auditors and investors likely will be.&#xA;&#xA;2. Less bandwidth-intensive protocol (binary vs. JSON); reduce stale shares and works better in poor internet situations&#xA;&#xA;3. Ensure your pool isn&#39;t inserting transactions and not sharing out-of-band fee payments. It is becoming more topical with the increase in usage of transaction accelerators and non-standard transaction inclusion. Eliminate the requirement to have to monitor your pool.&#xA;&#xA;4. Ensure you&#39;re selecting the transactions that provide the maximum fees. Don&#39;t leave it to others who may censor certain high fee transactions. Eliminate the requirement to have to monitor your pool.&#xA;&#xA;5. Take charge of the bitcoin software you run and consensus rules. Don&#39;t leave it to others to determine whether or not to signal for support of a particular change or to take the risk of falling out of consensus. Eliminate the requirement to have to monitor your pool.&#xA;</html></oembed>
