if we use that very real and very tangible and very verifiable data we can clearly say that if an average of 4 to 5 GH/s is finding around 20% of Groestl blocks, the other 80% has to be an average of 16 to 20 GH/s.
The math isn’t that hard to get right.
BTW, the difference between the real figures and the propaganda based figures is what srcxxx is currently taking off the top.
ok using math and tangible verifiable actual data
- blocks 185048 to 185247 have 38 groestl blocks
- of the 38 groestl blocks, 9 are found by Cryptopoolmining or 23.68%
- of the 38 groestl blocks, 29 are found by Boostpool or 76.32%
- Cryptopoolmining pool hash rate is 2,248.594 MHs
- therefore Boostpool hash is 7,247.16 MHs
looking at boostpool stats, there are 2 miners that make up most of the hash
- 1HHuLYhMfQKPowKxMr51gDxGPnjVY9qKqy ~5,020 Mhs
- 13VGSdtCSYAqrp8Cp2v3jhMD9gFdJaDAHV ~1,520 Mhs
so it does not look like miners shifted to boostpool, simply there are 2 big miners in boostpool
NOW FOR THE REAL ISSUE FOR US:If one person were using an unfair, proprietary, advantage to “boost” their own particular mining, there would be no issue. We’d have to call that innovation.
But, when one person uses that same unfair, proprietary, advantage to fleece unsuspecting victims, we have a problem.From a technical, economies of scale, standpoint, one individual would have to invest a great deal of money to implement an operation of sufficient size to have any real effect on the global network.
But when one individual is massing together the cumulative hash power of many unsuspecting victims, the impact on the network is considerable, and extremely negative.If ethics, or right and wrong, don’t mean anything to you, at least that last comment should, that is if you at least want to protect your own interests.
why do you think those two big miner are in boostpool? do you think they would mine there with out calculating their energy cost vs profit? i would safely assume that miners of that size are very particular and have come to a conclusion that despite the very high fee, they are making more in boostpool than any other multipool, the problem really is multipools in general, they mine profitable coins and sell, but that can still be used to DGBs advantage as you know boostpool will sell DGB daily so you can buy DGB cheaper.
FYI: i am currently mining in theblocksfactory-skein, in case you think i am mining at boostpool
