Hi! That's a constructive comment
And actually there are a few things to reply :
- first of all, for NOW the existing mining app is designed to work on PCs (windows or Linux, mostly Ubuntu). I'm not in the core team's deepest thoughts, but I'm assuming this is to incentivise the 'first comers' as they're supposed to become some kind of 'core' to the community.
- concerning the 5000 minimum for payments, that used to be 10000 till very recently, once a again I'm assuming two main reasons first that : firstly the team calculated that given the type of miners coming first to the project, 10000 would be fair not to pull too much out of the pool, and not waste too many transaction fees. But actually the main dev recently acknowledged that given the evolution of the network, his calculation and way of thinking was not that accurate.
- this first pool was the 'official' and has now been joined by a few others, who have a much lower minimum payment. You'll definitely get the best out of your little computer. Check
http://www.uplexamining.com/pools/ they have a list of the existing mining pools. The 5000 minimum payment of the official pool will, actually, be a VERY good way to spread the hashing power and get really decentralized.
By the way, this website I just mentioned has been done by one member of the community, and it has many interesting things about the project. Check it out!
And... Welcome to this great project!
why one single pool has more then 90% hashrate??
Because this single pool
https://uplexa.poolbux.com/#/home is the official one, the pool which was brought online by Uplexa devs to start up the process. Other pools are slowly coming online sinds then. As the project evolves, more pools will come, and the hashes will be spread out more. Just give it some time.
It s funny that they write "
The Cryptonight-UPX algorithm is specifically focused on mining any device's CPU, big or small, for a coin reward" but the main pool has 5000 upx minimum payments. I have a mid range cpu and I am discouraged from using the pool that the developers themselves have created. 5000 min is not for normal cpu.
