 Having hashrate split out on multiple pools instead of only on 1 or 2 large mining pools reduces the possibility of 51% attacks or for said large pools to act maliciously due to controlling majority of the total hashrate

 Adding one more pool to an already over dozen pools does not decentralize them... People are free to switch pools whenever they like at the click of a button within seconds. You really don't need more than four or five to prevent 51% attacks. Bitcoin is fine because there's dozens already. Saying adding one more will decentralize all of mining is just a ridiculous marketing scheme.

 Can @Luke Dashjr comment on this? Would love to continue to hear more perspectives on this topic.

 Look, I could be talking out my ass. I'm no expert. This is just my opinion and I'm happy to have some new information to change my mind. This is why I asked for the ELI5.

 En fait je vous ai retrouvé trop timide dans le docu et plus que gêné pour regarder le public. Posture à travailler devant votre miroir. Mais compréhensible dans certains domaine d'activités, idem que Jack '. À deux je pense qu' il vous faut un ordinateur plus qu'un pubilc.. La seule question l'eau utilisée pour le minage comment il est recyclée par la suite. J'avais vu qu'en Kenya avec Grindless de Hermann dit white African l'eau pouvait permettre aux population surtout les femmes de faire de la culture maraîchère ou pour cultiver des plantes et fleurs. Merci
