Ordinal Inscribers are now paying Bitcoin mining pools to construct blocks for them with zero or minimal financial transactions, so that all of their images get inscribed in sequential order. They are not using the normal block construction methods. They are including these in the next block over the counter or behind closed doors. This has happened 3 times so far with 3 different pools. Luxor, Foundry, and the latest one was from Terra Pool. These out of band blocks are creating a secondary marketplace outside of Bitcoin's normal block construction methods. Miners are now talking about selling blocks before they are found. Thoughts?
How about miners who are not cool with it joining pools that don’t get up to that silliness?

that's how the free market regulates this.
If I was a miner (and maybe I am 🤔) I’d leave any pool that did that bullshit, and join one that explicitly states it won’t.
Same.
