You could probably set it up so all miners in the pool construct their own blocks as well. Just think it is more practical to expect five to seven miners (however many guardians are chosen) in a pool to run their own node and do block construction than every miner.

right, but i think that’s still stratumV2 haha. basically you need 1 or more miners behind a bitcoin core node, and the core node creates block templates. the benefit i see here is you can choose for yourself in stratumv2 how cooperative vs decentralised you want to be.
not saying fedipool is a bad idea, or stratumv2 is better. just trying to understand if fedipool adds anything new, and it doesn’t seem like it does. but maybe fedipool gets more traction?
It reduces custodial risk, improves privacy, and adds easy lightning withdrawals that the pool operators do not have to manage themselves.
Well you can't have fedipool without StratumV2 so the latter is a must. fedipool helps further decentralize pools. Even with V2 a pool could technically reject the block sent by miners and use their own( I think), Fedipool would spread that responsiblity onto multiple guardians (essentially many pool operators) which should reduce the risk.
Please being ecash adds privacy to a miner's payouts. It's an interesting concept.
**plus being chaumian ecash adds....
