I guess lightning channels are spam then huh?

Interesting, I guess I like this approach…

But if I were a miner simply optimizing for the most profitable block template, I might not want to split profits evenly with miners who consistently omit the top most profitable txs. Plus the ppl optimizing for profit are the only ones paying a pool fee 😂.

I guess the market will decide if this is acceptable.

For people who understand this better. When mining, isn’t it better to stick with a template for a relatively longer time, and not keep adding removing transactions from it?

This question has nothing to do with the options above.

I was just wonder, because when I look at the Ocean dashboard, the template changes every second. And for some reason I feel it is more probably to hit a block if the template doesnt change for say 3 minutes.

Might be completely wrong but that’s why I’m asking.

"Anti OFAC" literally none of their templates are OFAC compliant so all of them meet this criteria.

"LN channel opens/closes" These will also be included in every available template.

" Coinjoins/mixer TXs" There is no standard for these TXs so protocols like whirlpool that override the datacarrier to announce to the p2p layer that they are doing coinjoins may unfortunately be filtered out however should be possible through option 3 which is unmodified.

Says the guy blocking tx0 transaction, while pretending to filter ordinals 🤡

I can read and I can code. That’s why I can say without doubts that inscriptions is not a vulnerability.

It‘s not a vulnerability nor a security issue! It’s just a use case you don’t like. That’s all, don’t pretend otherwise!

Don’t get me wrong, I also think that inscriptions are useless, but the difference is that I don’t tell people how to use bitcoin.

Being angry about the CVE specifically is a more nuanced outrage that 98% of what I am seeing on the Nostr. I can see the argument there. Don't agree still, but I see the argument.

That’s not what I’m saying. Bitcoin had its foundation laid and it’s working. The math, the economics of it all will sort itself out. Don’t add anymore strokes to the painting.

"Each and every miner" will never be on board to stop censorship. I guess, censorship will be state-sponsored and many registered mining pools will take this extra money happily.

Ocean does a lot of things different from most miners. They use PPLNS (tweaked and renamed TIDES) which makes payouts transparent and fair. You can mine directly to a bitcoin address (no account, no kyc).

Everybody is angry about censoring inscriptions. Big whoop, who cares? Y'all don't even like inscriptions.

I am genuinely confused by the coinjoin censoring. Why does whirlpool need an 80 byte op_return? (Apparently they don't.) Why does knots censor it? (Luke just stonewalls everyone on this point.) Seems like dumb decisions all around.

Overall, a kyc free mining pool with fair and transparent payouts is a massive win. Everybody else uses PPS which reduces miner payout variance and gives the pool full control over blocks and profits. Censorship is a big problem if all pools censor the same stuff. If they all censor different stuff it is not really a problem. Ocean is a net positive. With Sv2 the censorship will be a non issue.

Is it possible to install bitcoinknots without need to download full blickchain again?

Is there a guide to read?

Riiiiight… so you are calling a decade of voluntary consensus among miners and the current functionality of Bitcoin core “centralization” (which it isn’t, why don’t you look up that definition in the dictionary), yet intentionally ignoring that consensus so you can censor whirlpool/paynym transactions and effectively attack Bitcoin Core, while pretending you are doing something positive for Bitcoin…

Nobody who actually digs into the details believes your lies. The normies might swallow your omissions and trust you just because @jack somehow doesn’t realize you’re using a custom fork to try and attack Bitcoin core… but we all know you’re full of 💩 and your Ocean pool will die a slow death. You are worse than the ordinals idiots, and you need to look in the mirror and recognize that you need to do better, and be better. Be a man, stop lying, admit you were wrong, get your shit together and use Bitcoin core, and actually do something good, like you claimed you would.

Breaking a massive wallet privacy tool for no reason is silly.

They are welcome to do so, but dumb.

F2pool acting at the hand of government is just as bad. Against, they are free to do so.

Personally, I pulled my few PH from them and moved to 2 different pools. Ocean won't be getting it either.

The solution to miner centralization is not one pool that does it right, so all can mine at that pool. It's more pools and ideally also ones that do it right.

In my book, any pool that has low switching cost is great as it allows miners to direct their hashes at a different pool quickly should problems arise. If banning wizard pics and the associated lower rewards is not perceived as a problem, let them mine at OCEAN.
