Since the dramatic decrease in hashrate[1] on 29/05/24 from ~2.8 GH/s to ~1.8 GH/s as of 01/06/24. This has shaken up the pool distribution[2]; as a result, nanopool now holds ~576 MH/s (30% of the total 1.8 GH/s.)This isn’t a five-alarm fire, but it is mildly concerning. This can potentially repeat the MineXMR 51% scare of 2022[3]. If any of you fine folks would consider mining on a decentralised pool such as p2ool[4], now is the time.

Ps, I am in no way affiliated with p2ool. Happy mining.
