The document discusses a publication by a user using the mononaut nickname on X. The user claims that an unnamed custodian has accumulated bitcoins from several mining pools such as AntPool, F2Pool, Binance Pool, Braiins, BTC.com, SECPOOL, and Poolin. Additionally, the same custodian controls the entry addresses of ULTIMUSPOOL and 1THash and receives mining rewards from Luxor.
It is noted that many participants in these pools provide hashrate for the AntPool transaction accelerator, which was utilized by a large custodian. Bergeron, part of the discussion, explained that the pools are working to adjust the payout scheme to eradicate income deviations. The document mentions that for the secure operation of a pool controlling 5% of the capacity, a reserve of 500 BTC is necessary.
Also, the CEO’s observations suggest that the income of cryptocurrency miners has decreased to the levels of early 2023.
