I asked by PM to MineCoin.org if they could announce the pool mnx.forgetop.com

He replied: "Sorry we can't".
But why a crypto doesn't want to announce a pool is very strange.
It's just like a crypto could work without any pool, as if it's not their problem.
Anyway.

Then I asked and asked again here in bitcointalk that this pool (and others) are added to the main page of the MineCoin site: https://minexcoin.com/
Nothing.

As suggested, I then wrote an e-mail to the Team, who obviously didn't do anything.
They didn't have to decency to reply a simple "No, but thank you for your concern".

About a month after, I'm still not understanding while a buggy pool like minexpool appears in this list and not the perfectly working others.

Now I highly suspect there is an hidden interest to limit this list to 2 pools.
They must either pay their apparition in the main page (like a % of their profit).
Or those pool(s) belongs to the Team, or someone close, related or having interest in the company.

As already written, all other cryptos do show a full list of pools, not a selected one (a limited list).

Sorry, but there is no other valid explanation, either than laziness or profit, not to change a few lines in the main page.

I'd like to know the reason for this as well. Forgetop has been an excellent pool so far for me, yet not listed on the main page. Why not?

Because it hadn't been checked yet.

I've stopped using Forgetop.com because it has such low hashrate which made it hard to keep using during unlucky streaks. But I did like the UI and it never went down when I was using it so I'll vouch for it if that's what is needed to get it added on the main page. I've also used mnx.mining-pool.fr and will vouch for this pool as well. Please add both to the main page so that people know of these pools.

Also, I really don't understand why you guys are not concerned by the fact that there are only 2 pools that essentially make up 95% of total hashrate and with one of them consisting of about 60% of that total. Then there's the fact that the biggest pool, the one with 60%, has been targeted by attacks and has been successfully taken down several times by these attacks. The last time this happened, the block times shot up and took way longer than 3 minutes since the difficulty isn't adjusted after every block found. Luckily the pool was only down for about an hour. But what happens if the next time the pool gets attacked, it goes down for days? You'll have a mining community that will be struggling to find blocks and users with long pending transactions. How is this not a big concern for you guys?
