#₿itcoin #mining is an important game. Maybe some of you ₿itcoin miners fail miserably to realise how important it is to make the decision that helps ₿itcoin's nature.

The risk that you go into if you choose an untransparant miningpool might seem small, but later on you will see that the miningpool that you helped smuggled way too much away for what they gave you.

Remember: joining a wrong miningpool is as if you are doing a wrong transaction: once it happens, there is no negotiation, no return of funds, nothing, they have no single obligation, as it should be. So if they do something untransparant, you have to pray that they are doing something that benefits the network and thus your bitcoin.

Now the big mining pools do untransparant things all the time, so you contstantly have to accept it. The only way to know for sure is by choosing miningpools that are as transparant as possible: those who even publish the block template before hand.

There are bigger things at stake.
