Unpopular opinion...

#Bitcoin needs something like RandomX in order to democratize mining and give back power to the users again.

Also NGL, #Monero also has this issue with pools were even when they can mine with a CPU, their pools are too centralized and some are more powerful than others, so it would be good to make a way to limit the increment of power per pool.

Maybe a good way (don't know how technically possible this would be):

- Give the option to miners to join clusters automatic clusters that can be enforced by the protocol to be of no more than X peers. And possibly with random movement from the miners between clusters in order to balance computational power loads.

Thus, it would be still possible to receive rewards (maybe in a less frequent basis, but higher in amount due to the amount of peers in the pool)

Also it would increase the chances on the individual miners, this due to the equilibrium on the loads by these "clusters"

Just thought about this, so don't kill me if it's an stupid idea, lol.

I know there are actors in the space that would have their incentives negatively affecter, but tbh the protocol health and long term democratization should be above the interests of these big actors all the time.

If you don't believe this, just take into account #UASF, everyda users should hold the power.
