2. given that individual miners have limited resources and technical skill, won't MM'ing force solo miners into pools where these skills and resources will be more centralized?
What solo miners?
you know,
the solo miners. the one's who are left.
Okay fair point. "Unknown" is 18%, which is a lot higher than I remember. I guess that is mostly farms with their own private pools, not really what I think of as solo miners, but technically they are.
