Episode notes
eCash Tokens Revolutionize Mining Shares
- HashPool uses eCash tokens to represent mining shares, allowing privacy and tradability without accounts.
- This creates a permissionless and open hash rate marketplace, helping smaller miners gain liquidity immediately.
Decentralizing Mining Risk
- FPPS payout mechanisms centralize mining by pooling risk and pricing hash rate.
- HashPool pushes risk to a decentralized market, encouraging more miners to produce their own block templates, enhancing decentralization.
Simplify Small Miner Onboarding
- Onboard small miners with easy-to-use proxy pools and simple wallet setups like Cashew.
- Focus on UX to enable new users mining with BitAxe to receive instant payouts with minimal configuration.
