So this shows me no one care about keeping mining decentralized. 
Why do you care about keeping blocks small if you don’t care about this?
Discussion
BOTH FOUNDRY AND ANTPOOL KYC THEIR MINERS BUT PEOPLE TALK A BIG GAME ABOUT RESISTING GOVERNMENT MINING REGISTRIES.
Miners care about money first. If we want decentralization, then we need to have competitive pools and incentives.
Mining is the incentive
Braiins and Ocean both offer no-KYC. Why don't more people use these pools? Yes, we still need more competition, but we also need to wake people up! You can only lead a horse to water.....
Ocean is new and has its detractors but Braiins should have more hashrate, especially after switching to FPPS. There are drawbacks to the FPPS model, but it works better for small miners and intermittent miners using their rigs for heat. The TIDES payout system that Ocean uses I think has potential to work even for intermittent miners. If they're successful with lightning integration and stratum v2 for block template decentralization, this could spearhead a new direction for mining pools to follow.
We need the miners to stop being so greedy lol.
I have no idea but I’d bet the miners are paying devs to play in their favor…
