Can you please define "honest mining"? We sponsored an open-source pool bounty of 20 000 CHF and no one participated. We are continuously working to improve the mining tools.
If you have to explain something (especially in such matters), then it makes no sense to explain anything.
Decentralization is absolutely one of the most important goals for the AE team and we have always been completely honest.
Best,
Vlad
With only 3 Chinese pools available at launch and with significant problems for those who use Windows on their GPU farms? Then all above looks like just blah-blah-blah.
