BITMAIN announces Antpool: Pushing forward Decentralization
We support p2pool protocol*
*not really
That's great! Surely OP will deliver!

Fixed that for you.
No comment on Bitmain's P2Pool status? Nice (off-topic, flamebaiting) shitpost.
Just thought I'd mention it.
I don't know why they haven't just pulled the plug completely on their p2pool project. It's just bad PR by now.
Then again, I don't see why an [expletive deleted] like yourself would want to stir up shit about it. Especially considering your past affiliations.
I'm sorry you are too stupid and n00bish to realize ASIC pre-orders are risky and many high tech start-ups fail due to adverse business conditions.
I'd hoped the long list of other bankrupt miner manufacturers would clue you in, but no, you are just too fucking stupid to get it.
Gmax reminded us about Bitmain's broken promises regarding p2pool:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4l564f/bitcoin_core_nonirc_meeting_summary_for_20160520/d3kefgbI want antpool to make good on their promises to use P2Pool-- promises which which pretty much killed P2Pool by diverting hashrate away from it--, promises which they still advertise ... But not all wishes are realistic.
He was, like me, a Hashfast customer, although we strenuously disagree about many details in that fiasco.
Does this help you understand how fucking stupid it is to judge everything someone does by an unrelated past association?
I didn't pre-order from HashFast. In fact, every ASIC I ever ordered has been delivered (It's called "due diligence", you might want to look it up). Most of them from Bitmain. Which makes it a bit strange to see someone like you make a big stink about a shitty little feature which isn't relevant anyway. It's kind of like bicyclists who think they're saving the world by sweating their way to work.
Gmaxwells claims are completely disconnected from reality. The overwhelming majority of antpools hashing power comes from their own farms, and none of the people who understand what p2pool is genuinely thinks that's what antpool is offering. The fact that Gregory tries to use this, in some weird way, to nullify the HK agreement is beyond stupid. The fact that his lapdog iCEBREAKER is given the task of causing a stink in Bitmain related threads just goes to show that he's completely lost.
I saw him whining to Peter Todd about "misinformation" and "poor communication". If he stopped hanging in the Classic #REKT thread, ditched his cry-buddy iCEBREAKER and grew some balls, he could contribute to the conversation and try to make things work with the miners. Maybe even along terms he is comfortable with. Bitcoin isn't a joke any more, it's an industry. And like it or not, he's one of its leaders. As is Jihan. If Gregory is willing to get out of the trenches then it's in Jihans interest to hear what he has to say. But this barrage of immature attacks might become more costly than Maxwell is able to bear soon.
