RE: warning to the thief pool ETC

in #steemit8 years ago

You can't mine a block that has already been mined. it will tell you that is how many you mined and will show pending, but when the pool tried to pay out it can't payout what is already been mined on a previous block therefore it's called an orphan. This would defeat the purpose of a blockchain and security and allow for double spending.
