 "My miningpool-observer project recently reported six OFAC-sanctioned transactions as missing from blocks.

Four of these transactions were likely filtered by F2Pool. This is the first filtering based on OFAC sanctions I've seen."

 💜⛏️🫡 
 And Antpool requires KYC to mine their now. 
 This is going to be the future.

Or you can go the other way. No $USD can be used to buy bitcoin. 
 Is this what censorship on bitcoin could look like?

 Looks like an ad for monero 
 Get your sats from échanges and regulated miners now while you can 
 From échanges man ! 
 

How do *you* choose the miner who will mine the next block? 🤔 
 And the answer from it's cofounder

 Looks like he’s deleted the post and is hiding replies on his recent thread. 
 Excellent understanding of what #Bitcoin stands for. Moar of such marketing pls 
 Already deleted these tweets, pussy 😂 
 He's right. He has the right to do whatever he wants with his pool. Hashes can leave whenever they want.  
 That’s how it works 
 Capitalism solves this 
 Is it still in the mempool or picked up by a different pool? 
 They were all picked up by other miners 
 Any thoughts on where this is heading? Is there a mining schism coming? Difficulty goes higher and more powerful pools choke out smaller miners or am I completely wrong ? Most likely 😉 
 Wen Stratum V2? 
 Ofark

 Not a US company but from Wang! Not gonna lie.. I didn't have that on the cards.   
 NOW DO ORDINALS  
 Bring it on. The more this escalates, the more bitcoin will adapt and overcome. Mining will become even more decentralized and transaction will become even harder to track (hello, taproot).
