Well, you said for the normies, I went full simpleton.

I doubt anyone could be that certain his attack will work. Especially mining on a public pool, it is likely destined to fail.

It has not worked yet. P2ppool is steadily growing still, new miners have no reason to join a pool. Big system administrators will keep flexing on pools every now and then I guess, botnets too. I don't see us worrying once p2pool gets top 3 or thereabouts.

Great work, no bandwidth issues for me. I feel this is a simplified "how" still and normies have yet to understand the real "why". Not an easy task I'm sure, but you obviously have the ability and understanding.

Make Cindy go to prison for transacting with Bob, make Bob unable to get a loan for transacting with the "wrong" Alice, get Alice to spend years in courts trying to prove she's not a witch (or an elephant for that matter) and make them all unable to escape buying food with vouchers their government is providing. Find better examples obviously. Keep it up either way!

Nanopool of all pools. As far as I can tell both moneroocean and nicehash are still mining zephyr, we've lost some hashes there, on top of low price and high electricity costs for many, heat waves for many others... all in the middle of August when "nobody" is watching. Looks like a potential perfect storm.

Still, I would bet my ass THEY are still asleep. 51% attack makes no sense other than damaging the network. No gains to be made for any participants, zero incentives.

The only real advantage I see is redundancy. Other than that, people already mining in a shared pool have no reason to move. Some of them will, eventually.

Not counting special cases like algo switching and various payment scheme pools that may be attracting miners for a number of different reasons.

Let's hope when he said monero he really meant monero and when he said wallet he really meant wallet this time. What an expensive way of learning, especially in Argentina.

They show up in the local feed even if you haven't subscribed yet

Thank you for clarifying, I thought I was doing it wrong or something.

Is it normal that i'm getting new r/monero and r/xmrtrader mirrored posts even though I have unsubscribed from both?

Xmrtrader posts especially, most activity happens in the daily and we only get the automated daily announcement, I don't see the point. In the rare occasion when there is a post outside the daily in xmrtrader, it's either spam or duplicate from r/monero.
