Statement from Hathor developer

Hey, I'm one of Hathor Network's main developers. I know this has been said before, but just to clarify, what coin.dance and others classify as HathorMM isn't actually a pool but all blocks that were merge mined with Hathor (marked with the magic number Hath on the coinbase).

The largest Hathor pool has been, and continues to, mine empty blocks. Despite all our (and also many other folks, such as emergent_reasons) efforts they always say they will try to do it and nothing changes. My honest impression is that it's a mix of not caring and not understanding the situation. I know that a very significant and vocal portion of the BCH and BSV communities interprets this as malice, IMO that isn't really accurate but I understand the reasoning.

We've been helping other devs making pools and recently a pool by the name of Zulupool started an open beta and has been gaining some traction and are steadily becoming the new largest pool. They have been nothing but great and are very aware of the situation and properly include transactions on the blocks they produce. Unfortunately coin.dance and the like mark all of these as HathorMM, so it's harder to tell them apart. It's possible by looking at the coinbase output address.
