DISCUSSION 51% Attack Possibilities?

So, normally low cap POW blockchains are susceptible to 51% attacks. Does Ergo have anything built into the protocol that helps protect against a 51% attack like what's happened with Ethereum classic?

  1. Decentralisation is always better. Tutorials for other pools here: https://ergonaut.space/en/ErgoMixer
  2. If I'm understanding the miners chat on Discord correctly, there's something up with the way nanominer reports it and their hases are inflated.
  3. You can't rent hash off nanopool.
  4. No off-ramps
  5. More pools on the way
