I've been with SBIcrypto for years, and I haven't had any issues. I'm very happy with the service, and it's a small pool.

I’ve decided to mine at home when we move soon. I’m looking at ocean or one of these pleb mining pools. Have you looked at these options?

Yes, I agree. As a miner, I'm concerned about the network and its security, but what option do we have?

Solo mining entails spending a lot of money on maintaining the ASICs and, with a high probability, never actually mining a block, resulting in significant losses without any return.

Being in a pool ultimately becomes almost a "requirement" if you want to avoid massive losses and don't view mining as a lottery.

Thank you for your comment! 😊

Mining Pool, Decentralization, and Network Security

It would be nice to have more competition to bitmain/antpool. 

It does seem like most bitcoin miners care more about fiat profits than the network itself. I guess they take higher risks than the people who simply buy it, but they must know that having too much centralization hurts us all in the long run.
