Reposting this here (just posted in the other thread):
It's unfortunate that Cryptohub is closing; it offered a unique interface incorporating mining/exchange/pooled-staking and many other features.
Obviously the closure does alter the landscape for CROC (although Croc-cash still has an exchange available with Yobit). However, I still like the overall specs of this coin (annual percentage stake, current coin supply, network hash rate) as noted in previous messages... even if CROC sometimes seems like the losing combatant in this (scene from the 60s movie _Cool Hand Luke_

From Cryptohub's closure message I was personally affected in the thefts as I was starting to build an ETH balance to participate in Seasteading's partner-blockchain (Varyon

https://medium.com/@bluefrontiers/varyon-buying-staking-referenda-for-seasteads-seazones-97c47e197fff
https://www.seasteading.org/ ) and that small-but-intended-to-grow ETH balance seems to be gone and I was probably affected/pilfered-from/raided in a couple other mainstream coins.
The parasitical, scum-of-the-earth who make (or supplement) a living through theft/stealing-OPP are the enemies of civilization/civil-society and I wish more people worldwide would grok some of the arguments of these two books:

https://mises.org/library/rise-and-fall-society -- nearly everyone would be better off.
The hack also seems to have taken out the only evident active mining pool. It's too bad many mining pool operators seem to be so fickle... I had mined at one a week or so back, stopped mining when my spreadsheet showed it became profitable to rent a miner vs the support-bid price, later found the pool wasn't hosting CROC at the point when it became profitable to mine as opposed to purchase again.
Anyhow,
both getting some mining pools and a block explorer existing again would seem to be the things needed most at this juncture. I do have some pretty severe time-demands but hope to move or see stuff in that direction eventually.
Also, as a further
status quo/state-of-things aside I saw a link to the following "All the World's Money" infographic (I remember the original one from 2015 ... it was actually one of things that got me to consider crypto back then):

http://money.visualcapitalist.com/worlds-money-markets-one-visualization-2017/
While that chart is dated to October 2017 (before the December-January mania), it's obvious there's room for greater participation of digital currencies in general.
