Technologie Le pool minier ViaBTC contrôle plus de 51 % du taux de hachage de Zcash Il y a 16 minutes Nouvelles Bitcoin Ethereum Privacy coin Zcash is facing a hash rate consolidation crisis. ViaBTC, primarily known as a popular bitcoin mining pool, now controls over 51% of the hashing power on Zcash, according to MiningPoolStats. The hashrate for Zcash, a proof-of-work network, is measured in giga solutions per second (Gsol/s) and ViaBTC is hashing at 4.53Gsol/s. F2pool is the next contender, but doesnt really come close to ViaBTC. Miners on f2pool have captured 1.62 Gsol/s, representing just over 18% of the hash rate. Coinbases blockchain security team pointed out this consolidation of mining power on Sept. 15, and warned of possible risks to users transacting on Zcash. “If a single miner or mining pool gains over 51% of the networks hash power, it can introduce serious security vulnerabilities,” Coinbase wrote in a blog. “An entity could manipulate the blockchain in various ways — such as executing doublespend attacks or censoring transactions, potentially leading to a loss of user and exchange funds.” Alurosu wrote a post on X, which was later reposted by Electric Coin Company (ECC) founder and chief executive Zooko Wilcox, appealing to anyone who knows Zcash miners
