Someone who has a mining machine at home can go into a pool and do work on their own block without knowing what's in it. But if you run an hem client at home, and you on ie av 30 to even on run yo in valided, without me bust it wouldn't be possible for you to perform o the same kind of work on the block that someone as bit is doing.
