Pools are necessary for a mineable coin. Now mining AE is only the whales' dinner.

Pools are coming. F2Pool is one of them.

We tried to level the playing field for miners. We announced a bounty of 20,000 CHF for an open-source pool, but no one participated.

Now the non-open source pools, which have a large economic incentive to organize those, are entering the game.

Best,
