Pools centralize what should be decentralized. A pool controlling
>51% of network hashrate is a 51%-attack vector. The healthy outcome is
several independent small pools plus solo miners. This software is open source
precisely so you can run your own — please do.
The coin is worth nothing by design. Bloch is mainnet-beta:
unaudited, young, 51%-attackable. This pool exists for coordination and testing,
not profit.
Solo mining is the default (bloch --mine) and needs
no pool. Pooling is opt-in.
The PoW is not lattice-hard. Bloch-SIS-PoW is SHAKE-256
cumulative-work hashcash with a Module-SIS structural gate; shares are
plain hash-difficulty shares. No lattice bit-security number attaches to it.
