@EthCatHerders By significantly increasing electricity usage, ProgPoW will help price out small miners and centralize mining in big farms such as Core Scientific.
ProgPoW update:
1. Community is forming a 3rd party audit.
2. Miners should start vote signalling using extraData field.
3. @EthCatHerders are going to investigate other ways to help parse community sentiment and help find a way to make a decision.
@fredhrson@OhGodAGirl This!! And you best believe that a woman who worked at Genesis and Core Scientific has a direct line to all 10 of them, bypassing all of the pushback that ProgPoW is getting from the community. Shouldn’t we continue discussing this change in the open?
@hudsonjameson@EthCatHerders It was much better when this conversation was happening in the open! Now the ProgPoW folks get to have these conversations behind closed doors with mining pool operators.
