the two largest bitcoin mining pools in the world - Foundry USA and Antpool - require identity verification on all miners that use them

53% of global bitcoin hash rate has been doxxed between these two pools...

Yeah, although blocks there are getting scarcer by the day. I’d really like for payouts to stabilize a bit more.

Whats up with an open source mining pool repo?

Where are the bitcoin heaters at?


This is , like, not cool man.


They can switch whenever they want.


DCG and friends have ALWAYS been an enemy of Bitcoin


what are these miners getting in exchange? what's incentivising them not to switch?

There are 2016 blocks every 2 weeks, surely income stability can't be a factor especially if you're a public miner and report quarterly earnings - even if you're a 1% hashrate pool that's about 262 blocks in a Q with reasonable certainty and even a chance of being lucky and getting more.


Because if you're are registered business making profits and paying taxes, kyc isn't a problem. A half decent accountant will minimize your taxes, and you don't have to sneak around like a low life criminal when everything is above board.
