Approximately 60% of bitcoin blocks are merge mining other chains (since the last halving).
That's down from a peak of 96% in April 2020.
For our latest nostr:npub1m7qjg4hsa2q32rtekewpdn54guh508tlh6ztml7ssluj6vgflensy6m4gz report, nostr:npub18h0w55nsp839ezxnggf00jd2xc6yl0ht62mf5p8wwllu8s80wdcs83ws8m analysed which merge mining schemes are in use, and which miners are using them.
Looking at recent data we see different miner / pool groups.
Group 1. No Merge Mining
Foundry, MARA, SBI Crypto
Group 2. AuxPow & “Chain A”
ViaBTC, F2Pool & Luxor
Group 3. Distinct switching pattern
Binance Pool, BTCcom, Poolin, Braiins, ULTIMUS
Group 4. Other
Antpool, SECPOOL
Taking a longer view looking back to the genesis block we see that adoption of schemes has fluctuated wildly over time!

good looks, did make that change but don't remember it causing high resource usage...just wanted to get rid of the log messages 😁
Followed this guide https://raspibolt.org/guide/bonus/bitcoin/mempool.html#requirements
No docker. I did not try to run it directly with core. I have 8GB ram on my machine, 13GB swap and 10GB zrm swap
strange part is that the mempool service is behaving normal when restarting it, but in about a day I have again sooo much CPU resources eaten up by it that my fans are running crazy
raspibolt guide looks old. just tested v3.0 with fulcrum according to our documentation for a fully manual install and it's working fine so far.

recommend cross-referencing with our docs to see if you missed anything.
will run and observe for a day or so.
what does your setup look like? docker for mempool? have you tried running mempool with just bitcoind (i.e. without fulcrum)?
The publicly accessible nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 at https://mempool.sweetsats.io/ has now been updated to the latest version v3.0.0. Check it out! Bookmark it for later use. 🤙
sweet setup you've got there ;)
