Since the dramatic decrease in hashrate[1] on 29/05/24 from ~2.8 GH/s to ~1.8 GH/s as of 01/06/24. This has shaken up the pool distribution[2]; as a result, nanopool now holds ~576 MH/s (30% of the total 1.8 GH/s.)This isn’t a five-alarm fire, but it is mildly concerning. This can potentially repeat the MineXMR 51% scare of 2022[3]. If any of you fine folks would consider mining on a decentralised pool such as p2ool[4], now is the time.

Ps, I am in no way affiliated with p2ool. Happy mining.

Fair enough, but an ad for something that it makes its total sense to use anyway.

I'm fairly new around here, I'm not yet familiar with most monero related services so maybe I didn't assess it properly, sorry if that's the case

All good. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If I don't know the answer, I'll tell you that I don't know the answer. But I've been around long enough that I know the answers to most of the questions that are common anyway.
