Global Accessibility Awareness Day is coming up in just over a month. On this day we'll get hands on by testing out wallets, filling github issues and supporting wallet builders. 📷 There's going to be a kick off session on that morning at 7am UTC on 16th May.
When pools are just acting as proxies for other pools without being upfront about it, bitcoiners need to take note. The time to demand StratumV2 is now!

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.

Don’t be complacent thinking that MEVil can wreck havoc on ethereum but bitcoin will be safe just because. MEVil in PoW is potentially much more deadly! Bitcoin has some safety (mostly bc the expressive apps are on L2s that can contain the MEVil), but we must stay vigilant.

MEVil (or centralizing MEV) is one of the biggest threats to bitcoin’s value, but it’s poorly understood. I wrote about what it is (and isn’t) and how developers and bitcoiners must consider it carefully if we want bitcoin to survive. bluematt.bitcoin.ninja/2024/04/16/sto…

I get emails like this every other day. If that many are asking, can you imagine how many quietly stop pursuing software as a career because of the silly hype around programming being automated away?

@hodlonaut Roger Ver wanted a block size increase and that's exactly what Segwit did. It was supposed to be a compromise, but the big blockers didn't actually want bigger blocks, they wanted to take over Bitcoin and have their code be the new reference.

@Bart_Mol @TheBlueMatt The opportunity cost for something that happens every 4 years is not worth worrying about. But if happens every block, it is. You can't expect everyone with an ASIC to be an active sats trader. So either you outsource or you forgo revenue, both cause centralization pressure.
@Bart_Mol @TheBlueMatt It's the same reason why Drivechains are problematic. Small pools, let alone individual miners doing their own block template selection, can't run all that software - so they make slightly less money than people who do. Which gives them incentive to outsource template generation.
@Bart_Mol @TheBlueMatt I think it depends on whether miners can make money by messing with orders in the mempool. It's not clear to me if they can with a Dutch auction. But if so, that requires skill and compute resources. Even a tiny advantage can make large pools more profitable -> centralization.
@david_seroy @dannydiekroeger As far as I understood his point it was simply that we should socially avoid building Based Sequencers.
@TheBlueMatt ”Based sovereign rollups” are what you’re looking for in your post: - Sovereign: introduces endless expressivity since the state transition/block validity function is external - Based: gives Bitcoin miners granular ordering control over the above execution environment
@TheBlueMatt The concept of a sovereign rollup (a rollup which has an external state transition function) is distinct from the notion of based rollups (rollups which are built and ordered by the L1 block producers)
DEMAND pool will NEVER, and we mean never, be a proxy pool. #StratumV2
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.
@TheBlueMatt @Truthcoin Yep, making the definition that broad makes the MEV definition almost as useless at the sidechain defintion ic.unicamp.br/~stolfi/EXPORT…
demand your pools behave more like @DEMAND_POOL ! ( or just switch to demand pool)
@BitcoinMotorist @stephanlivera @DEMAND_POOL is currently the only pool that allows you to select your own block template. I believe Ocean intends to support a proprietary protocol to accomplish the same eventually, however.
Global Accessibility Awareness Day is coming up in just over a month. On this day we'll get hands on by testing out wallets, filling github issues and supporting wallet builders. 📷 There's going to be a kick off session on that morning at 7am UTC on 16th May.
@TheBlueMatt @stephanlivera @DEMAND_POOL Anything but FPPS
@TheBlueMatt (And if proposing is very easy, then miners can just do it themselves and you don't get a proposer/builder split at all)
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.
A single custodian now controls the coinbase addresses of at least 9 pools, representing 47% of total hashrate. As demonstrated by this consolidation of mining reward outputs from AntPool, F2Pool, Binance Pool, Braiins, btccom, SECPOOL and Poolin: mempool.space/tx/b1dc9e09a97…
