Does this result in effectively 3 separate pools? Or you somehow reconcile the differences to split rewards proportionally between miners on all 3 configurations?

Hi, maybe a simple question. How do you switch the profile/filter? In your Braiins OS. Thanks

"These are not separate pools! Whenever a miner using OCEAN finds a block, all of OCEAN's miners receive their share of the block earnings, even those mining a different template. This is a major step toward fully decentralized mining: OCEAN returns control to you, allowing you the option to mine the transactions you want without losing the benefits of pooled mining."

Interesting, I guess I like this approachโ€ฆ

But if I were a miner simply optimizing for the most profitable block template, I might not want to split profits evenly with miners who consistently omit the top most profitable txs. Plus the ppl optimizing for profit are the only ones paying a pool fee ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I guess the market will decide if this is acceptable.

Yeah. It would be interesting to know the splits between the templates

The alternative is a centralized system

Centralized on what layer?

If pool decentralization is your goal, new (or revived) pools constructing blocks with low rewards isnโ€™t going to attract any meaningful hash power. Itโ€™s simply not economically rational for anyone involved.

More pools competing on rewards, features, and specialization is the only way.

If block template decentralization is your goal, then letโ€™s focus on finishing the SV2 spec for block negotiation, and make it easy for pools & miners to use. The big pools will happily pass that regulatory risk off to the individual miners.
