I posted the following message to the discord channel:
pool.bloz.cc / bloz.cc is back on the official Block Zero chain.
The pool, explorer and wallet are now running on the original maintainer chain:
https[Suspicious link removed]mre/blockzero-core
Important: pool.bloz.cc is community-operated infrastructure and not the official Block Zero team. The pool now follows the official chain rules, including the protocol development fund from block 1500.
During the short fork/split period, pool.bloz.cc found blocks 1500, 1501 and 1502 on the wrong chain. Those rewards are not valid on the official chain.
To make this right for the affected miners, compensation has been paid from private/operator funds. Instead of paying only 1x of the lost pool-side rewards, 2x was paid as an apology and goodwill compensation.
Compensation TX:

297.00001820 BLOZ
Sorry for the confusion and the disruption. From now on, the goal is simple: keep pool.bloz.cc stable, transparent and aligned with the official Block Zero chain, so miners can always verify exactly what they are mining.
I wanted to clarify about that, as I also was not communicating clearly. I have mention in discord that I don't know how it will continue and I am not sure if it making sense to develop this coin on the own chain. It depended on how things will evolve. But at the same time - I did state in some of the messages or disclaimers that bloz.cc will never accept dev tax. Which I clearly didn't held.
As there was no real activity nor interest, I decided to stop here. I would have transfered the domain, source code and discord channel to someone who would continue developing on the project.
But the original dev contacted me on discord and we clarified some bad communication going on. It was a proper dialogue and we discussed the importance of good communication.
This is why I apologize for everyone that mined for some short period of time, even as I did give quick updates on discord, it could been faster and clearer.
So as next I may continue a bit, but this coin will be not my main focus for now.
I just want you to know, that this has no affiliation with the main project, I won't continue this as my own project and I probably will edit previous posts to avoid reputational damage as this seems to be a rather bad communication and the original dev seems to be acknowledging it and is open to not repeat this.
Overall there was no scam, the latest dev tax update was properly communicated as I saw in the discord channel after unblocking me.
There was some thing with the wBLOZ, but I won't go further and hopefully this will end here.
Of course there are a few things going on in the background, but I won't comment nor publicly state about them here anymore.
Probably it will include editing some of the messages, maybe transfering domains etc, maybe open-sourcing something, almost for sure changing the webcontent of some pages on the .cc side (if it won't get transfered). So things will definetely need a clean end, but this won't be public as I stated everything that would be important to know.
Chapter closed.
Thanks for reading.
