Wondering why no one told me that rubber is the new store of value?

Looking at the merkle branches that mining pools send to miners as part of stratum jobs, it's clear that the BTCcom pool, Binance pool, Poolin, EMCD, Rawpool, and possibly Braiins* have exactly the same template and custom transaction prioritization as AntPool.
Stratum v1 jobs include (parts of) the coinbase transaction and the merkle branches a miner needs to compute the merkle root. If all branches are equal across pools, the block template is exactly the same.
This is a smaller merkle-tree with the stratum job branches highlighted.
Here, branch0 is the txid of the first transaction in the block after the coinbase.
In the AntPool/Binance/BTCcom/.. template, it's a manually prioritized transaction paying 9.03 sat/vbyte https://mempool.space/tx/c938e8027a7fba782a092695a53d37654021bf20df71ca91b4a6daa9198b0c73
Many of the other pools didn't prioritize a transaction and included the highest feerate transaction https://mempool.space/tx/96608dc747677d6dfbc3a2b37f8a0146abae132799b13c130066bd3716fdf91a paying 301 sat/vbyte. ViaBTC prioritized another transaction and has a vastly different template.
This indicates that F2Pool currently is not using the AntPool templates, even if they share the the same custody provider. We know from multiple occasions that F2Pool has been building their own templates (https://b10c.me/o11, https://b10c.me/o9, https://b10c.me/o8)
Note that SigmaPool and SecPool both seem to share the same template (distinct from AntPools template). Two names, but probably one pool.
Some overlap in the first branches of distinct pools is expected as these branches consist of few (usually high feerate) transactions. For example, Ocean's "default" and "core" templates overlap up to branch3. At least the first 15 tx (2⁴ - 1) in the template are equal.
* similar to EMCD in the picture, Braiins sometimes differs from AntPool in the later branches of the template. This could indicate they're only helping with AntPools transaction accelerator and directly syncing with AntPools mempool, causing occasional differences in templates.
I've heard speculation about this all being liked to an FPPS partnership with AntPool/Bitmain.
Bitmain insures against bad pool luck but you have to use Bitmains templates/transaction prioritization and pay the mining reward to the insurer for later distribution.
Essentially a pool of pools and a lot of mining centralization.
I wonder if the people and companies mining with these pools know about this.
You can now zap each developer on nostrapps.com
Just click on the app, click "zap developer".
I'll see if I can get subscriptions set up as well (tinker with it later).
Once I figure out prisms, you'll be able to zap everyone at once. This list will include designers, and infrastructure providers. Will take a bit to make it as complete as possible.https://m.primal.net/HwIP.mov
Nice!
I'd like to see some kind off "success" pop up for the payment. Just to know they got it
Consistent high onchain fees
Funded through our taxes too
Allow me to share that we've been working on a new Bitcoin crowdfunding platform built on Nostr, that I think may also help funding devs. The advantage of Angor is that it uses on-chain contracts so it is more secure for the investors.
I would appreciate your feedback.

On testnet only for now
Wouldn't having only onchain contracts limit the funding from plebs? 10k plebs donating 200 sats each adds up

Beautiful
I just paid a nostr:npub1cwneqlnjgs3rdtk97c2ffy2df9dm5zycgj3dsg8c3z00hchxjmfqtvraju invoice using Sparrow Wallet to construct and broadcast a PSBT that I signed via the Coldcard Q QR scanner.

The sovereign MONEY future is here. It’s just not evenly distributed.
This kind of complexity still not available on a smart phone. Still a long way to go
Good luck!
I might be joining you in a few months
Someone slipped it in knowing well that no one ever reads it. Well... Almost no one
Cool project!
With the current hash rate of the pool how often are you looking at actually finding a block?
Nice!
What are they aiming for at the moment? One block a year?
