	* The pool almost never ~~has~~ miner~~'s funds, as they are paid~~ directly ~~to the miners~~ from the block reward.		* The pool almost never held miner balances. Payouts went directly from the block reward to miners.
	* If a block is orphaned, its shares ~~become part of~~ the next block's ~~reward~~ distribution.		* If a block was orphaned, its shares rolled into the next block's distribution.
	* ~~No registration; bitcoin~~ addresses ~~are used for~~ usernames.		* Bitcoin addresses were usernames. There was no separate account signup.
	* A signed message ~~based~~ control panel ~~was added for securely setting~~ options ~~for miners, including~~ Namecoin merged mining and donation amounts.		* A signed-message control panel let miners set options such as Namecoin merged mining and donation amounts.
