There's something wrong going on...
For the last few days I've monitored almost all known pools and they all seems to run low on luck.
They all get attacked at least 4 or 5 times a week, at least that the reported DDOS attacks on mine.
And all their cumulated hashrate are below 50% of the total hashrate!
Somewhere, there must be a pool with almost 50% or more of the hashrate which finds the majority of the blocks and which runs those attacks.
It smells shitty...
It sure does
Someone out there is not only mining with insane amounts of hash, and seems to have the blackhat resources to attempt to slow down the rest of the miners.
All the pools reporting the same thing.
What gets me, is nOObs think there is something is "wrong" with the blockchain, as that is not the case
If you think that "Somewhere, there must be a pool with almost 50% or more of the hashrate which finds the majority of the blocks and which runs those attacks", who else do you think could have both the capacity and capability to do that other than the devs?
They are the developers of an app to be used as a vehicle to push mainstream adoption of crypto. What makes you think they have the worlds largest mining farm? Lol. Just because they are the developers doesn't make them extreme miners.
This is something that is very common in crypto, people see the potential of a project and the profitability, then seek to exploit it. Someone is obviously using dirty tactics, not the dev! They made their money via the ICO and want to see success, not poison it at the start. If they wanted to make money and run they would have already done so. Not going to happen.
Everyone knows who they are, nothing is secret about the team or the project. People throw accusations around way to easy on this forum. It's damaging to Crypto in general to spread so many rumours.
