F2pool has reportedly censored a number of OFAC-sanctioned transactions from being included in blocks. This is why you should mine Bitcoin. Can't be that 2 entities control almost 50% of the hash rate and start censoring transactions.

The beautiful thing is F2pool is losing hash by the hour, these entities are controlled by many individuals not just 1

True. But sanctioning transactions on a pool level is setting bad precedence. It's pretty much Bitcoin's only attack vector for those who seek to control and/or regulate the network.

Yeeee !

Meanwhile,

What are the best alternative no kyc pools that actually win blocks with some regularity?

Scanning https://mempool.space/blocks most of the winners are KYC and/or have minimum hash rate requirements

wow. this stuff didn't exist as little as 5 years ago. never had to KYC for any pool when I was still mining.

Yeah that is bullshit. What is wrong with people?

Nothing but everything is wrong with those who want to maintain control over the money and hence the crowd.

We should start a Nostr mining pool

Yeah that would be mega

Braiins is the goat.

Is there a minimum hash you need to participate do you know? Can't find the answer on their site.

No minimum, says a friend familiar with the matter

Local community pools.

"Know your farmer"? Yes. And

Know your pool operator.
