idk.... at some point you just have to move forward. Unsure about the EV+ of such a move considering pools are at most 25% of the network. I'd love to see the math on that one.
The subsequent blocks had way above average fees as well. So you're risky not having a chance at those just for an unlikely chance to get 840,000.
So close when he mentions backlash.
Intentional reorg is only profitable with a high time preference. If you aren't willing to give up a large chunk of all future profits from your work building the pool, it makes no sense at all.
Once you see time preference you can't unsee it Barbour hasn't seen it. He sounds like the kind of MBA to gut the profit generating core of his business for "savings" to raise net revenue next quarter.
