Fair enough…but I’m not comfortable with the current state of mining centralization…and many developers, including Luke, Matt and others agree it is an issue that needs to be addressed… https://theminermag.com/news/2023-12-28/bitcoin-mining-pool-block-reward-antpool-hashrate/ https://i.nostr.build/iVrAnxgkkfvQV467.jpg
These pools are made up of thousands of individual miners that can direct their hash elsewhere if there is a problem. Just because pools are big does not equate to centralization. There will ALWAYS be 1-2 big pools as people will ALWAYS mine with a pool that gives them the most sats for their hash. It takes a miner 5 seconds to switch pools. If there is a censorship problem or a pool near 50% people will point somewhere else. This has happened over and over again. Bitcoin mining does not have a centralization problem just because some pools are big.
