yes please correct me
show me ~ how users of CK are not pooled,
I already did.
*(widely accepted concept 2009-2012+)
solo mining(technical concept of transaction collating and block formation by the user to have their own unique hash to work on without a pool manager doing it for them)
The definition of solo mining is someone who isn't sharing the "work". Whether or not they run their own node isn't changing that.
However, you can and should criticize that these miners are not independent since they don't run their own node and rely on a third party.
