Man, it feels like #braiins pool is being abandoned by miners. Hashrate has fallen below 840 Phs and is only 0.23% of the global hashrate. We're very rarely hitting blocks at this point. 🫤 I know the BraiinsOS is super popular on ASICs used by lots of miners on various other pools, so does anybody have an idea on why miners on the Braiins Pool have shut off or switched pools?

That doesn't seem accurate. I'm showing them at close to 6EH/s. Nonetheless, I find it concerning that all this hashrate is pouring into these KYC/AML compliant pools that are also mining shitcoins! brains is the only no-bs mining pool that I've found so far. I think more people will come to realize that over time.
I'm with you on avoiding the KYC/AML and shitcoin pools. Presently my Braiins dashboard shows 5.82 EH/s, while btc .com pool monitor shows 5.07 EH/s and 1.39% of global hashrate, which is over 5x what Braiins pool was 24 hours ago. And in the past 24 hours, we've hit five blocks.
I looked a few of the top pools because I was curious, and the only pool that I didn't feel like I was entering a casino was Pega Pool out of the UK. They also advertised their payout per TH, which I couldn't easily find for anyone else. They have just under 3EH/s and their payout is $0.0704/TH (fluctuates), which pretty much equals what you would make with Braiins pool, when you average it out. But I like the fact with braiins pool that they pay you from each block so you're getting the actual freshly minted bitcoin. I just like the guys too, they've done a lot to make mining more efficient and secure.
