Re: [ANN] [ETC] Ethereum Classic: Immutable Smart Contracts
It is true, we do need to be established in China. China has 2/3 of the world population. ETC needs to have 2/3 of it's hashrate and investment in China if it is to be as established as bitcoin. Moreover, they produce all the GPUs, phones and US army boots 
and will dominate before too long. They are even building Nuclear powers stations in the UK and drilling for oil in the North Sea.

I am glad you are happy here. Many feel like us but not all want to be vocal.
Someone that starts to solo mine, gets complacent and ignores the signs will find that solo mining falling through the floor at some point.
Be very careful where you point your hash power. It is a valuable commodity
You should always be setup to have the option to solo if need be. I have had some nice runs solo but tend to hedge with some pool mining too.
If you can, and you have more than one miner, have a spread over a number of pools and do a bit of solo too.
It would be nice if a developer made a miner that would do 50% hashpower to geth and 50% to a pool.
Problem is, who do you believe when it comes to finding info on pools, solo and the network?
http://etherx.com/pools/ or https://etcchain.com/pool
91pool are new, or have they only just declared themselves?
I looked them up because 51pool.org was the pool that tried to 51% attack Ethereum Classic early on.
http://etherx.com/pools/ always shown more than 40% "unknown". Now we know who some of that "unknown" are!
91pool.com was registered on hichina zhicheng technology ltd. on 03 August 2016. The site is almost absent on social networks.
Well up until know anyhow
The site is hosted in United States by Alibaba.com LLC while its owners are located in China. The webmasters of the website can be contacted at yuming@yinsibaohu.aliyun.com . The domain for the website was purchased through hichina zhicheng technology ltd. on 03 August 2016 (1 month ago) and will expire in 2 years 10 months.

So we have the big Chinese market Alibaba.com mining (or hosting?) themselves some Ethereum Classic?
But why host a Chinese mining pool for a Chinese audience in the US?
They are mates of our ex Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne. This has lifted my mood.
Maybe Alibaba are mining ETC and will drop the dollar (and the banksters) for ETC on their trading platform?

Glad I looked it up. I was going to sell a load of ETC.
This is big? http://www.alibaba.com/?
They have shown interest before.
