 While I totally understand your argument and agree that filtering OP_FALSE is indeed censorship, aren't all miners censoring to some degree?  When a miner includes their own transactions at 0 sat/vb in a block aren't they censoring someone else who paid a fee?  Inscriptions will still be picked up by other mining pools in subsequent blocks.  Granted that example isn't as wholesale as filtering a class of transactions that play by the rules, so it is worrisome.

I think we should let it cook and just appreciate the fact that we have a new pool in the mix.  That's a good thing and I hope that with Stratum V2 eventually the individual miners paying for the hash will have more of a voice as to what's included in a block.  

Perhaps this will be a change that will yield benefits down the road.  I'm going to stay hopeful for now with nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze and appreciate y'all digging into the details for awareness as to how things are operating at the moment.

🤞🤙

P.S.  fuck ordinals I don't like them but they do fall within consensus.
