Because the whole philosophy of the #BitAxe is to put a portion of the network's hash rate in the hands of individuals, not just multi-million dollar entirites.
BitAxes mean to empower individuals to enter the mining scene, thus helping decentralize the hash rate.
I can't quote any numbers, but there seems to be a decently sized community of people running BitAxes. That's great, but if all that hash rate could be organized "brought together", I think it can have an even more meaningful impact. One that isn't strictly done in the spirit of promoting and upholding mining decentralization (which, IMO, is a worthy pursuit in and of itself), but one that may have a chance of "collectively" competing against industrial size mining operations.
i appreciate the spirit of the idea but restricting it to just bitaxes is probably not the best approach, imo. i think running your bitaxe using DATUM running through your own node does more to empower homeminers, and allows you to join any pool that adopts DATUM.
but i suppose a fork of public pool that shares rewards of a mined block and only allows bitaxes would be possible.
hell you could do this right now running your own DATUM service, and just run it yourself and only allow bitaxes to connect 🙂
I do not know what DATUM or a DATUM service is, but doing a quick Google search, it gives me some idea.
Because I have some technical inclination, I will look into it — who knows, maybe for fun I'll start a little side project 😉. Thanks for the tip!
