Is it a bad thing? Regarding Decentralization?
Why don’t miners choose other pools?
$$$
Shouldn’t hash power pay the same no matter which pool?
Luck can be an unpleasant factor if your hashrate is low. To be able to regularly pay out hashrate contributors, pools are tempted to join even bigger pools to join forces and reduce risk of weeks without a single block found...
No it’s block template optimization
Afaik they also joined forces to be able to do "pay per share" payouts... 🤷♂️ Maybe both?
That is truly a problem on boomer tech.
On Monero profitability is given regardless of mining pool using P2Pool: https://p2pool.io/
That system ensures daily payouts if you ever want to try decentralized mining one day.
Thoughtful and a bit concerned
Bad, the pill was stuck in my neck! which non-kyc pool would help decentralize? Apart from solo pools.
Bitcoiners: "If any pool got to be more than 50% of the hashrate, miners would just switch to a different pool to prevent the chance of a 51% attack."
Mining Pools: "Let's just have a bunch of different pools that are all using the same block templates and see if they notice."
