So when someone pays a mining pool out-of-band to prioritize a transaction, the miners contributing to that pool likely never see any of that money because it's not actually part of the transaction's fee, yea?
As a miner, I would not contribute hash to such a pool. I would feel like I was not being compensated fairly.
