Just as with FIBRE the “shift” is cosmetic, the power structure remains the same. In FIBRE the relay operator is assuming the power of the pool. In this thing the payout pool is assuming the power of a pool under a different name. But yes, what would a true “shift” even mean?

Agreed! But this argument doesn’t apply here since a/ Bitcoin is a live, 100-bil-dollar network running in production & b/ pool mining centralization is *already* the political reality. BetterHash will improve on the status quo, not making things worse. It’s highly practical.
