There are several alternatives to cex.io, I hope the new one that is creating a buzz eventually forces cex lower on the scale.
The actual title of this thread explicitly has the words "...
and other cloud mining services"
Ok, I'll bite. What are you referring to?
In the past couple hours I confirmed that the top 3 pools (
by number of blocks submitted to the bitcoin blockchain in the past 4 days) are currently still still:
Could you please qualify those statements?
Which alternatives?
Which new one specifically is creating a buzz?
As an aside, perhaps are you suggesting that one of the top 3 largest pools is simply as-yet unidentified by the tool(s) used by blockchain.info for identifying blocks, and therefore most of these unidentified blocks listed under the "unknown" section of the pie chart is actually coming from a cloud-hosted mining operation? (
which, admittedly, if most of that "unknown" section is coming from one pool, it means that the top 3 pools I'm listing is technically wrong)
