Absolutely. I think the main draw to a pool poll superblock is the proof of concept of multiple super-blocks. I think we should explore this with something that doesn't affect GRC distribution, like polling, well before we might begin exploring additional data-hosting platforms.

I agree that the ultimate fix is to make it so you do not need to join a pool, but you can choose to join a pool. Under that system I would agree that pool users do not need to be given their magnitude-vote-weight as they are harming the network by removing their node. They would be sacrificing utility for convenience, which I think would be fine.

As it stands, however, all new users must join the pool in order to receive their Earned Research Rewards, so i think we should not limit their participation for doing something they must do in order to contribute and commit to Gridcon and without paying cash for GRC.

I do not think a pool poll superblock should be a focus of core development, but if there were a bounty made to help bring more people into development with a focus on the neural net and superblocks... I think overall this would be beneficial to the advancement of Gridcoin.
