Except that the users leaving their pool is what has forced them to cave.

Even with an S9, the more hash and devices leave their pool when they do things like this, the better. Sure, until stratumv2 is universal or there is a clear P2P option that makes them obsolete, then we use those. But in the meantime, when they make stupid decisions, they need to see *signficant* shift in hashpower moving away from those who misbehave and try to alter the critical features of the network.

Even an S9 matters, if it is included in the count of those who leave when things like this happen. Grab a nostr:npub1lrjgpa9m2dl6esdah5pq7m005ymwh4glq4aet76q2zlz2f83esfsa2zvrj case and use it as a space heater. Works like a charm.
