The pools having been announced for May and being still not available in July is something which is probably now decimating the community. I guess that by now most if not all of the individual miners have left while only one or two big data centers are mining webdollars, centralizing coin ownership more and more. The end effect is the same that you would get with a pre-mined coin: when Webdollar will be finally minable by normal people, these normal people will have to face the evidence that a huge stack of coins is all in the hands of one or two single players, just as in the case of pre-mined coins. Not exactly the best way to start - more likely the worst one. In the end, webdollars may still get successful and achieve mass adoption, but for sure the team has chosen the worst way to launch the project, when the necessary tech (pools are absolutely necessary) was still not ready.

Not really centralized by farms. We release experimental mining pools for allow all miners to start mining. You can see here https://www.webdscan.io/stats statistics about mining. https://image.ibb.co/bDdie8/ssss.png The mining chart is very well distributed among our users. Even the great BTC in the begging was developed by the community step by step. I have to remind you all we don't have any budget for this project for developing it with the speed of light. We're doing our best to help the project to get into the right tech point for being able to start promoting the project. We need just to have patience and to deliver a well final product without bugs for being able to start our journey.

Well, these stats look very good indeed, it seems that the experimental pools have already achieved half of the global hashrate. However, I had tried to mine in the first experimental pool that you had published but I had to stop after a few days after realising that the coins would disappear after a while. Why would that happen? Is this stable now?

Yes, now are stable. We will release this night referral experimental program for preparing the main release.
