For a year now (since March of 2016), NodeCounter has been mining at Slush Pool in support of Bitcoin Classic and more recently, Bitcoin Unlimited.

However, due to Slush Pool operator's recent statements and slander against Bitcoin Unlimited supporters, we have switched mining pools and are now pointing our hashrate at pool.bitcoin.com.

We believe in the free market choice, and not the choice dictated by pool operators (or Core devs), no matter how much they feel they know best. Bitcoin was designed to empower the individual to make his own decisions.

As a further note, slush seems to fail to recognize that the Bitcoin Unlimited community does support layer 2 scaling with networks such as Lightning Network and others. These are achievable with much simpler malleability fixes than Segwit (see Flexible Transactions). Rather than attempting to change slush's mind, we are simply moving our hashrate elsewhere.

Bitcoin has become far too political. Money speaks louder than words, and that is precisely how Bitcoin was designed to operate and incentivize.


HOW SUCCESSFUL HAS THE MINING DONATION FUND BEEN?


In the history of our Bitcoin Mining Fund's utilization of slush pool, we have mined over 736 BTC in rewards (also verifiable at the mining reward address 1PTY9f8hbaFBd3EsXfAuixZ2Y5ZxWP4uZa.

It is worth mentioning that these 736 BTC were mined from an original 30-50 BTC. The efficiency of this mining pool is very high, and it has proven that it can re-invest for 6+ months off a single donation.

Help us bring Bitcoin Unlimited through to the ultimate victory of increased blocksize, lowered fees, faster confirmation times, returned use-cases, higher transaction throughput, and support of a dev team that doesn't utilize censored discussion areas. This is the same Bitcoin we have all known and loved for years. Then we can begin to build the layer 2 solutions that are also needed.
