Fascinating and dramatic story. Kudos to the hacker/sleuths @mononautical and @0xB10C who unveiled this deception. It is deeply concerning that Bitmain and Antpool may have > 50% of mining power and 90% of ASIC marketshare. With their lack of principles and history of lying and deception, what underhanded money-grubbing power moves will they plot next?

We need more than Jack Dorsey to ride in on a white stallion to save the day. If Bitcoin is the future of money, we need massive Manhattan Project level funding to wrest market share away from this cartel.
