Binance Will Close Its Bitcoin Mining Pool on November 10
Plus: Ethereum Stakers Move to Newer Validators, Trezor Drops Some Authorized Resellers
Good Morning Lions,
Binance walking away from mining tells me the biggest exchange is pruning side businesses, and Bitcoin miners now lose a big pool to point hashrate at. I think that helps pool decentralization if the hashrate spreads out instead of piling into the next-largest operator. Trezor's reseller cut fits the same theme.. fewer middlemen, fewer places for tampering to happen.

The open Ledger question is how many devices passed through CryptoBilis before the tampering got caught. Until that number is public, buying straight from the manufacturer is the only channel with no middleman in it, frens 🦁 — Khal
