RE: Mining steem is over! supercomputing is taking over!

in #steemit8 years ago

Demotivating for sure, and prior to that it was not easy either, but now with a lot more extra witnesses/miners from the same user... I've stopped mining a few days ago, but if I did not, this would have made me for sure.

Sort:  

This is not good for steem, one person has too much hashing power.

Yes, that is definetly true, but not so dangerous as the mining part of Steem is not that influental or important as with other crypto currencies. It would 've been much worse if there were a lot of witness nodes operated the same way as these multiple miners by a single person.

he is getting double bubble as witness and miner, nobody can afford to run servers for a 1 in 1000 chance of getting a doller.

I just learned about steem yesterday and started mining in the last 24 hours. This is extremely demotivating. Mining is what originally attracted me and I'm sure many others would be attracted if it were feasible.
