Well I am not able to mine this coin due to that as difficulty is very high but this also shows how incompetent developer of this coin are as to letting those guys f*****g the whole network and the pillar of the network miners are getting nothing to support the network.
This shows mostly how self centric the developers are as they are not taking steps to avoid that.
Maybe they will someday wake from there sleep.
yeah, project can lose many participants when miners-investors lose interest and faith in zcoin.
Since september we are waiting for official p2pool. But still almost 90% of network hashrate are on MPH, which supports botnets cause they are donating.
So upset
I don't know much about botnets but is there anything that the developers could do immediately to solve the problem?
Maybe MTP will help. We don't know almost anything about parameters of upcoing MTP hashing algorithm.
Guys! Why do you think than Lyra2Z algo can use botnet?
Have many other coins with Lyra2Z, but there not botnet.
Where do you see "many coins with lyra2z algo"? Just few copycat shitcoins.
Do you know any other altcoin on lyra2z algo with comparable high daily emission in $?
They mining Zcoin on cpu instances because hashing speeds on modern cpus are almost comparable with gtx 160 and even gtx 1070 on this hashing algorithm.
Read discord, there are no secret about exists large botnets based on hacked/stolen aws cpu instances.
Just one example of a caught "small" 1Gh botnet based on cpu instances
