I remember around the time sv2 was announced, you and I discussing the failure of pool hopping in the face of state threats. As a result of overselling this idea, sv2 likely delayed investment in potential solutions or at least actual improvements.
I don’t know if tx pool consistency can solve the problem, but small scale miners operating independently and competitively is certainly the ideal. I’ve been hopeful ever since you introduced braids at scaling HK. It’s good to see that it is finally getting some amount of investment.
