Is it possible to put everyone in a single large mining pool, and share mining reward equally among miners based on hash power and shares.

Yeah, it’s this really big peer-to-peer pool called “bitcoin.”

Yes you can but you should also trust the mining pool owner
Why do you want to use a decentralized system in a centralized way? Think about it…

Well assuming even if the impossible happened and every pool miner switched to the same pool, we would still have solo miners who wouldn’t be apart of the pool.

Why should we trust pool operators? Can distribute this trust among miners?

Excellent point! As long as there’s as least 51% of solo miners all is well.

No, because not everyone wants to be controlled by a pool – “single mining”

Yes, it is possible. Is it likely? No, not at all.

it would be boring as f%*$. the only reason people keep up this charade is they *think* they could beat the odds and get that 25 BTC faster.

The whole point of bitcoin is to be a decentralized currency, and now you are suggesting to centralize it?

Yes, it’s even possible for the network to remain decentralized: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool
(Althoug, basically with P2Pool everyone is solo mining and just shares the rewards)

I’m assuming the stale share rate would also significantly increase.

Both can be fixed with implementations like this: https://miner.ecki.net:444/
(“Real” Pool, that mines against P2Pool, don’t know if still active)

Any form of centralized mining is a bad idea as we have found out with ghash getting near 51%
Not sure if p2pool is the answer, but we need something.
