I uniquely like each episode for different reasons, but that one sure is up there for me 😂😂 Thank you! Led to nostr:npub1cn4t4cd78nm900qc2hhqte5aa8c9njm6qkfzw95tszufwcwtcnsq7g3vle getting a pretty insane compliment. “A better Jack.” If you wanna check it out Nodl: https://youtu.be/BcKMirGx5zc?si=UpSpXNQp-BESH7Iz

Vouch. Never gotten any bad equipment from them. Except for when I explicitly ask them to send me broken equipment. In that case it’s bad. Which is still a net good.

Unfuckingfortunately, one of the outcomes I thought about was that people using F2Pool just don’t care. Not F2Pool users exclusively. I feel like a good bit of people mining don’t pay attention to pools like we now know we should.

The shitcoiners are coming around

At least they know

I want you all to know that this very well could be a huge turning point in Bitcoin, both/either good and/or bad. Game theory will play out, but it very well could enable even more censorship and a greater level, if not worse.

I didn’t even discover this but I’ve spent all night going through possibilities and reasoning and am prepared to talk about this.

I say so. Because it allows you to customize your end destination how you want to, both with your preferred fee environment but moreso your UTXO(s)

Going to be interesting to see this play out.

This news about F2Pool raises a lot of flags, and I think this is a pivotal point in mining pools. I think that we might see some big changes in pool dominance not only from F2Pool, but also other pools. This might be wishful thinking, but this may be the emergence of more decentralized mining. Of course, you have the choice of what pool (if any) you mine with. But now there’s an even closer look on “why” you choose whatever pool you choose. Yes, pools are always going to exist, but best case scenario in my head is that more smaller pools emerge from this as the discussion continues. And by “more smaller pools,” I mean tight knit, friends and family type pools around 5 EH/s or less even. Just recently F2Pool also returned that obscene fee paid on accident, and it’s followed shortly by this news. We’re about to take a lot closer look at other big pools to see what we think we know and what we actually know. This is interesting and I have a lot of thoughts, but I need to sit on them for a bit.

F2Pool apparently censoring transactions. As of about 20 minutes ago, Chun stated they removed the tx filtering patch for now.

Damn Rabble, glad you’re okay. Can’t be too careful on a cycle. Every day I wonder if I’ll make it to the train in one piece…
