Tell that to Mara Pool and CKPool. They noticed that their blocks were getting orphaned more often when they ignored the subsat tx filters, and reimplemented them. The higher the percentage of Knots runners, the higher the likelihood this plays out again, but for inscriptions and op_returns
Discussion
I kept the receipts. CKPool post on the topic: https://x.com/ckpooldev/status/1957235824451559746

You said they "noticed their blocks were getting orphaned"
But neither of those two links said their blocks were getting orphaned. They just said they were taking steps to prevent the risk of orphaning
Good point, I missed that
these seem specifically about v0.1sat/vB transactions? I don't see how a large op_return that paid huge feeds is related to that.
My hope is that the same fear of stale blocks induces miners to not mine large op_return txs
To make that fear more grounded, I hope more people filter such txs
No idea. Have been mostly on stratum side of the house. But with slipstream, I imagine this would pose a similar risk so not sure why we ignore sub 1sat/vbyte.
i think its a lazy argument considering it only focuses on one type of non-standard tx
