Here it is, for I know scrolling is very hard.

If it isn't obvious. A pool being 51%, even if they were run by The Pope or Donald Trump or other pillars of honesty, should be of serious concern to everyone invested in BTX.

I think this is a serious issue and should be addressed by the Bitcore team somehow (a statement to introduce the other existing pools to the community, contacting other pool owners to add Bitcore to their pool, etc.).

I was mining with all my rigs there in the past, but for the past two months or so, I have pointed 2/3rd of my BTX rigs to UMine and the remaining 1/3rd to Omegapool to have a part in distributing the hashrate (however small it might seem compared to the total network hashrate).

Omega has higher hashrate and higher fees, but I didn't abandon it completely because I heard that it is owned by one member of the Dev team and I thought that this way I can support the project too.

Guys who are now mines in 1070 as with 6 cards out per day? Does it make sense to get a coin now?

Mining with 6 GTX 1070's should get you around 1 to 1.2 BTX a day at the current price.


Considering that the whole crypto market is kind of down at the moment (although signs of recovery are slowly appearing in the last few days), I still think mining makes sense if you have access to cheap electricity and want to hold the mined BTX for now.

I really hope so too.

For this airdrop, Do I need to be opening my wallet 7/24? Or it is okay as long as I have btx in my walleT?

As long as you have btx in your wallet address and the address is registered to receive airdrop.

I'm not very technically savvy about such matters, but wouldn't a PoS mining model block this attack vector for good and all? This is what I was asking the BTX team to do a few months ago (and I saw others suggest along the same lines). I think it is possible to switch to the PoS model via an interim hybrid model so that nobody would be seriously affected by this switch. Are the BTX developers able to do that thing? Frankly speaking, I have yet to see them do anything of real value and true innovation cryptotechnology related besides just painting the BTX wallet with pink colors.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, and then I will happily stand corrected.

There's nothing wrong with the current mining model, except miners who for no rational reason flock to the biggest pool. Look at Bitcoin, pools there have operators who understand these things and the miners too understand their responsibilities better. The biggest pool is just barely 25%, exactly at the limits of this admittedly quite theoretical attack.

And isn't it obvious that making abrupt rule changes should only be used as a last resort when everything else has failed.
