If we could get a couple other small pools to join Kano and get to 100PH that might make things happier for everyone going into 2018.
I rather bring this up now than have people say the same thing in 6 months with 'should of's, could of's' attached to the same ideas.
Letting small pools die slowly hurts everyone involved as probably half go to larger evil pools and less and less of the mining pie stay with the good guys.
Even when we were at 100PH+ the largest miner thought the variance was still too high.
As long as our luck stays close to the expected value, we should be ok, though of course we can't make it stay there, but it should.
Hopefully some of that larger hash rate that left will return, but at this point I'm still not certain until it actually happens.
I don't know how slush could gain over 1.5EH/s over a few months unless Bitmain was directly involved
