We convinced @PyBLØCK. Now it’s time to bring AlphaPool on board. If you have a direct contact with AlphaPool, please reach out to them and ask them to adopt DATUM. Point them to the benefits of decentralized block construction and encourage them to make the switch. Every pool that moves away from SV1 makes the network stronger. Widespread DATUM adoption is ultimately what separates Bitcoin (BLAKE2b) from Bitcoin (SHA-256d). No more broken Stratum V1 schemes. We either decentralize mining from the beginning, or eventually end up right back where we started.

the truth is that I do feel some insecurity about how mining is developing in blake2b, I understand the part that the algorithm now allows one to create their own blocks and decide what is added to them and that the lack of datum miners makes a single company controls the mining, but it is giving me a question about when time passes and more manufacturers of that miner begin to appear that the same thing could not happen that happens with AI that a few companies decide to hoard all the miners that are sold in the market, causing an ordinary person to not be able to obtain one, and even more so if that hoarding causes the same problem that is happening with the RAM and SSD that prices are inflated because there are not many on the market, causing many pay exaggerated amounts just for one piece? because that is a problem that I still see in datum and blake2b, they wait for the mining to decentralize, but it is still necessary to obtain equipment that many cannot obtain and even more so in places where they will probably block the distribution of those miners. right now mining in this chain is decentralized, but what will happen in the future?
