ethereum-hashrate-distribution

In the earlier days of Bitcoin mining there were also concerns about too much hashing power getting centralized in the hands of a single entity or a mining pool and it seems that we are seeing similar thing happening with Ethereum at the moment. Almost half of the mining hashrate for Ethereum seems to be currently controlled by Dwarfpool, so it is advised that users switch to other pools to balance out things. New users that are just starting to get into Ethereum mining should also consider any of the other pools for mining ETH instead of Dwarfpool. Dwarfpool is also trying to encourage users to distribute hashrate more evenly with the pool fee increase from 1% to 2% to new users if the hashrate goes over 50% of the total network, though that apparently is not doing that great job. Below you can find an up to date list of Ethereum mining pools other than Dwarfpool where you can mine ETH and get a more even hashrate distribution.
