The company has also published a guide to using the new release.<\/p>\n<p>The protocol supports trusted pools with low fees, allowing users to switch between them.<\/p>\n<p>Due to high demand, developers prioritized portable pools over static ones. To participate in a pool, no guarantee deposits or minimum balances are required; a user can create plots and immediately receive payouts.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;With the portable protocol you can switch between pools and even return to solo mining whenever you wish. The worst a pool can do is deprive you of rewards, but it cannot stop you from leaving,&#8221; said Bram Cohen, the creator of the coin.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He added that the network is protected against a 51% attack:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Even if a group of pools gains control of more than 51% of the network space, they will not be able to carry out an attack as long as a sufficient number of their farmers do not want to participate in it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"FI9wNghPMy\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/what-is-a-51-attack\">What is a 51% attack?<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201cWhat is a 51% attack?\u201d \u2014 ForkLog\" src=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/cryptorium\/chto-takoe-ataka-51\/embed#?secret=9njc6Manq6#?secret=FI9wNghPMy\" data-secret=\"FI9wNghPMy\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Earlier-created plots cannot be used to join official pools.

Using SSDs for these purposes can quickly shorten their lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>In May, Bram Cohen urged miners to <a href=\"https:\/\/forklog.com\/en\/news\/chia-creators-warn-of-potential-vulnerability-in-the-hpool-pool\">abstain from unofficial pools<\/a>.
