The pool is back up now with over 220 kH/s - not sure if poor guys with 200 - 300 H/s will get anything!
DisasterFaster/ Plainkoin - is there a way to validate if all this power is coming from legit sources? Also do we want to restrict using mining services like NiceHash or others to make the coin accessible to the laymen and keep it decentralized?

Updated the ANN and removed the Pool is Offline disclaimer.
I reckon banning
NiceHash is a non-starter...Almost 95% of it is coming from just 1 worker:
Address Shares Invalid shares Efficiency Hashrate Balance Daily income (expected)
RVJBC9KRWZfv7USXrJdwQF5z7EHGwJr363 124638 497 99.6% 207.73 KH 0 ROI 43705.054 ROI
This was sometimes also a problem on holdcoin. So It would be very nice for the community if such activity can be blocked for roicoin. It is not funny for the "normal" miners. From my point of view all hashrates over 2KH can be blocked (if possible) because they don't come from normal standalone pc/hardware.

Interesting thought but the question begs as to how to prevent the proverbial work around? So now instead of a user using 1 nicehash account with 20K hash they just create 10 different login accounts with 2k hash each? You see where I'm going with this....
Plus can that account for hashing power of pools? My understanding is that all the power from a pool goes to the mining as one miner and not divided by each address - correct me if I'm wrong.
If it is a NiceHasher, it is possible to blacklist 20K hashers from the pool? I am not familiar with NiceHash, so if there is also a 15K, 10K? Yes they could come back in at say 2K hash with 10 accounts (for example), but at least that would put them more on a level playing field, versus a hoover vac in the room. Just curious...
I also don't know about the technical details for nicehash or something similar. But at the moment the user has 200KH so if there would be a 2KH max he would need 100 accounts. Perhaps it would be possible to block something like nicehash completly. For me the best thing of this coin (and before hodlcoin RIP) is that "normal users" can mine with their pcs and can get some coins and so it is very decentral mining. No mining farms, etc. But users with 200KH hashrate destroy this advantage of the coin because "normal users" lose interest.
