I guess in reality you would just pressure the big miners since the top 4 control 80%. Nuts.

- olalonde 1y agoWhere is that figure from? You're probably looking at mining pools, which don't actually own the hardware - individual miners do. A pool is just a service that coordinates many miners to work together and split the rewards. If a pool tried to behave maliciously, miners would simply switch to another pool and the pool would quickly lose its hashrate.
- beeflet 1y agoThe problem isn't pools but manufacturers. Competitive ASIC miners are manufactured by only a few companies. It's not inconceivable that they could use TC to lock them to specific pools or simply refuse to sell ASICs to the general public.
