Yes, even using pools. Docker runs on general purpose computers. bitcoin miners are machines specifically built for mining. General purpose GPUs wont be profitable ever again.
bitcoin mining asics are machines like that

Thanks! I know about ASICs, and I know that they are special purpose hardwares.
I am just wondering what are then the incentives to decentralize mining?
It seems like the incentives are aligned to support centralization. Or at least make it more worth it to be centralized.
I fail to see what any of that has to do with docker.
Though it's true that mining centralization is a problem especially with so few block template providers. hopefully stratum v2 can help on that side.
I mixed in the topics a bit, sorry for that.
To run applications via docker is easy and highly reproducible. If you can mine bitcoin via docker in a sustainable way, it is more reachable for many, therefore easier to decentralize.
But docker is not the solution it is just a tool.
Logic was. I want to help in decentralize bitcoin mining, and have more stakes in the game. I stumbled upon the idea to run mining in a container. Yet the post.
