AUR is dead for now, profit switching multipools like Wafflepool raped and killed it yesterday. The difficulty is so high that it takes ages for new blocks to be found by miners. Because of this and dropping prices dedicated miners stopped mining and moved on. Don't forget: new blocks contain the transactions of the network and so your coin transfers. Each block is also a 'confirmation' for past transactions.
Incompetent devs launching a new coin without KGW are the cause. Not multipools.
Both are causes now. Root cause is indeed not implementing KGW (soon enough).
So you guys are telling me that Bitcoin itself has implemented KGW?
Because if it isn't then exactly what is happening here will be happening with Bitcoin before the year is out.
Difficulty is going to be forced to level out...just like its happening with AUR.
