It works about the same on different platforms. I'm only familiar with how emcd does things, but ViaBtc has one too. I don't do things there, so you'll have to reasearch the inticasies by yourself. What the entire idea boils down to is: you have some bitcoin that you don't want to sell for whatever reason. Your coins get locked and you get the equivalent in usdt\\usdc which you can do whatever you want with. Then you just pay off whatever you loaned and get access to your btc back.

Copying this from other comment I made: The only thing needed for this freeze on private transactions was a few extremely centralized miners (viabtc alone could have been enough) adopting new consensus rules. They did not need full consensus because any blocks that attempted to mine transactions with the private pool could just be orphaned by larger miners. This had no community-wide stamp of approval, just that of the corporate-owned ASIC farms.

Please do more research. The only thing needed for this freeze on private transactions was a few extremely centralized miners (viabtc alone could have been enough) adopting new consensus rules.

Hey guys was trying to connect these bitaxe machines to viabtc just so I can control and monitor them all in the same place. As I see some of you fellas have been mining solo bch cash blocks. I'm basically for a month trying to dedicate all my hashing power to it giving me a 1/10 chance per month maybe I'll get super lucky and hit two. Whenever I go to viabtc to "add workers" I don't see exactly any where to do so nor when I tried adding a my wallet address into a bitaxe I don't know what credentials to put where besides the wallet address. Any suggestions or help would greatly be appreciated. Regards!
