One of the criticisms the Neptune blockchain has received is that it’s hard for mining pools to distribute the timelocked funds, and that this leads to a centralized coin distribution, with the mining pools sitting on to… --- ## [Mining memory harndess removed?](https://talk.neptune.cash/t/mining-memory-harndess-removed/293)

I am trying to understand is this true or not? Code says that after block 38000 memory hardness will be removed. So that practically would mean that its not needed to have a lot of gpu memory to mine NPT?

There’s been discussion recently about the vulnerabilities of traditional Proof-of-Work, especially regarding selfish mining (like the Qubic attack) and the centralization caused by mining pools. I’ve begun looking into… --- ## [Work shares as a solution for concentrated hash-power](https://talk.neptune.cash/t/work-shares-as-a-solution-for-concentrated-hash-power/169)
